Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Vexi Salmi.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on September 21, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-09-21. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 16:07, 19 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
