Support Looks very high quality. The problem of no votes might be that you have 7 live nominations right now. There's nothing that says you can't but nothing that says anyone has to vote! For your information, I limit myself to 3 nominations at a time except where nomination have already passed the 5 support vote threshold with no opposes. So I have 6 live at the moment. I have no idea whether other users approve or whether we should have different limit/self-discipline. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:54, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I'll try to keep the 6 limit too, thanks for the advice. ArionStar (talk) 12:05, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The amazing cartographer added a submap as a scale (to show on which part of the Brazilian coast he is depicting) and also made an engraving of the Engenho (Brazilian term for sugar mills), indicating one of the main reasons for the siege. Exceptional result, and I hope more voters see this work. ArionStar (talk) 12:13, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
