Thank you!

Hello, Danw73! I want to thank you for starting the article Denise Mueller-Korenek, about the woman who set the world record for bicycle land speed. I found that to be such a great and feel-good story that I expanded it a lot. It has been approved to go on the Wikipedia front page in the "Did you know..?" section one of these days. You can see the nomination here: Template:Did you know nominations/Denise Mueller-Korenek.

I suggested two possible "hooks" and I don't know which one they will use: "Did you know... that the current world record for bicycle land speed was set in September 2018 by a 45-year-old woman?" or "Did you know ... that Denise Mueller-Korenek is the first and only woman to hold the world record for bicycle land speed - a record that was established in 1899?" Anyhow, thanks for getting this started, and enjoy the DYK when it happens! --MelanieN (talk) 01:22, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
