Discussion

Can we assume the total underwhelming comments on this subject where it has been notified and the fact that no one has tackled the required for photographs of people category for year that it would be fine to go along with this proposal? --Traveler100 (talk) 09:51, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
