Facebook cover photo

by Carlos Monterrey

Hey there, We are hoping to update the cover photo for the Wikipedia Facebook page. I have proposed one particular photo which I liked a lot. The photo is public domain, and it has also been retouched by a Commons user- which illustrates a positive feature about Commons. Please feel free to share your opinions and recommend other PD photos that you would like to see up. Thanks! https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Amundsen-Scott_marsstation_ray_h_ed… -- Carlos Monterrey Communications Associate Wikimedia Foundation +1.415.839.6885 ext 6881 www.wikimediafoundation.org blog.wikimedia.org
