Belva Ann Lockwood (1830–1917) was an American lawyer, politician, educator, and author who was active in the women's rights and women's suffrage movements. She was one of the first women lawyers in the United States, and in 1879 she became the first woman to be admitted to practice law before the U.S. Supreme Court. She later ran for president, one of the first women to do so, in the 1884 and 1888 presidential elections, on the ticket of the National Equal Rights Party. This albumen silver print of a photograph of Lockwood was taken around 1880 by Benjamin Joseph Falk. Photograph credit: Benjamin Joseph Falk; restored by Adam Cuerden

This template should always be
substituted (i.e., use {{
subst:NotifyPOTD}} ). |
This template can be used to notify uploaders and nominators of a featured picture scheduled for POTD by placing a message at the bottom of their user talk pages. This is most easily done by employing the "New section" link at the top of the page and substituting the template using the code below, leaving the subject field blank since the template already generates a heading. There are four unnamed parameters (three required, one optional) and two named parameters (both optional).
Example usage
{{ subst:NotifyPOTD | [Salutation | [File:]Example.png | 2024-08-03 [| Optional comments [| display=blurb] }}
{{ subst:NotifyPOTD | [Salutation | [File:]Example.png | 2024-08-03 [| Optional comments | display=thumb [| size=200px] }}
File:
can either be included or omitted. If this is a multiple POTD (involving a random selection of more than one related image), providing the input multiple
in place of a file name will generate a slightly different wording to reflect this. All featured pictures that form part of a multiple POTD normally have the same uploader or nominator (possibly the same user).|action=
(optional) replaces the phrase "uploaded or nominated".|display=
(optional) takes two possible values: blurb
, which displays the standard layout of the POTD with the blurb as seen on the Main Page underneath the message, and thumb
, which displays the POTD image as a thumbnail floating on the right with the article name as the caption. The blurb layout is displayed by default if this parameter is undefined. An example of these two layouts can be seen on
the testcases page.
|size=
(optional) can further be used to control the dimensions of the image in the thumbnail layout; if undefined, the default thumbnail size as set in the user preferences is used.
