DYK for Tan Boon Teik

Latest comment: 12 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

On 18 March 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Tan Boon Teik, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Tan Boon Teik was the longest-serving Attorney-General of post-independence Singapore, having held office for just over 25 years? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Tan Boon Teik. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Main page appearance: Richard Hakluyt

Latest comment: 12 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

This is a note to let the main editors of Richard Hakluyt know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on April 26, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/April 26, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Richard Hakluyt (c. 1552 – 1616) was an English writer. He is principally remembered for his efforts in promoting and supporting the settlement of North America by the English through his works, notably Divers Voyages Touching the Discoverie of America (1582) and The Principal Navigations, Voiages, Traffiques and Discoueries of the English Nation (1589–1600). Educated at Westminster School and Christ Church, Oxford, between 1583 and 1588 Hakluyt was chaplain and secretary to Sir Edward Stafford, English ambassador at the French court. An ordained priest, Hakluyt held important positions at Bristol Cathedral and Westminster Abbey and was personal chaplain to Sir Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury, principal Secretary of State to Elizabeth I and James I. He was the chief promoter of a petition to James I for letters patent to colonize Virginia, which were granted to the London Company and Plymouth Company (referred to collectively as the Virginia Company) in 1606.

		You have written over twice as many Singapore-related GAs as me and have even inspired other writers. Thanks for using Factiva to help me find sources for my GAs! The Singaporean Wikipedian community needs more oustanding contributors like you! J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 10:26, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
