Infobox image change?[edit source]
Does anyone else think the infobox image should be changed (possibly Anna Kulisz’s illustration?)I like the current image, but I feel like it doesn’t draw sufficient attention to the subject of the article. —Holdwine Meriadoc (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 21:53, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
