Each item about a calendar day (at least since the advent of photography) should have a image (P18), relating to that day's events.
Among other things, these are used on the Wikimedia Commons category page for the day through Template:Wikidata Infobox (Q47517487)
How you can help
[edit]Please avoid generic images, which could have been taken on any day, unless they depict a dated object.
Include a media legend (P2096) qualifier (in any language you can), and make sure that mentions the date.
Examples
[edit]Here are some examples of good practice, and some tips:
