Quality Image Promotion

Your image has been reviewed and promoted Congratulations! Golden Eagle Festival Mongolia 5.jpg, which was produced by you, was reviewed and has now been promoted to Quality Image status. If you would like to nominate another image, please do so at Quality images candidates. We also invite you to take part in the categorization of recently promoted quality images. Comments  Support Very picturesque and adequate quality to me. COM:OVERCAT seems to be a default feature of Wiki Loves Folklore photos nominated here. Category:Festivals is obviously overcat for Category:Golden Eagle Festival. I'll make the deletion this time, but it would be great for people who nominate worthy WLF photos to check the categories before nominating. -- Ikan Kekek 20:10, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
