Thank you for the review @Viriditas: I will look at the cancer material later. Originally the article was only about the funeral but another editor added to the scope by including death. I appreciate the review, I will see if I can look for articles of yours to review. I enjoyed Pillar Point Bluff. Bruxton (talk) 00:29, 2 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

DYK for Jumu'atul-Wida edit

On 9 April 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jumu'atul-Wida, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jumu'atul-Wida. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Jumu'atul-Wida), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

George W. Munroe edit

Any way we could feature the pic that went with this hook? I thought it was entertaining and would bring smiles to those viewing the main page. We don't often feature funny pics and should when we can.4meter4 (talk) 01:16, 9 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

4meter4 I needed the hook to fill a slot, if you want to ask at DYK another promotor may decide to move it to an image slot. Bruxton (talk) 01:23, 9 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Draft:David Goodman (DGG) edit

Hello, Bruxton,

I thought I'd let you know that this draft came up for CSD G13 deletion and I did a minor edit to postpone deletion for another 6 months. It would be cool if it could eventually get into main space. Liz Read! Talk! 02:25, 20 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
