Original – The Battle of Forbach, also called the Battle of Spicheren, was one of the critical battles of the Franco-Prussian War

Reason: A very nice illustration. The layered colours really work well for it.

Comment Shouldn't this image be cropped? It has far too much of an empty margin imo. – Howard🌽33 00:04, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you crop it, you lose text and also make the multi-layered coloured more confusin to interpret. It's CSS cropped in the article, which is less destructive. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.8% of all FPs.} 00:24, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
