DYK for Berenice Olmedo
[edit]
On 9 November 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Berenice Olmedo, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Berenice Olmedo once sold products made from dog carcasses at a flea market? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Berenice Olmedo. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Berenice Olmedo), 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 nominate it.

- Thank you, and for support in November! - On St. Cecilia's Day - patron saint of music - I remember a composition by Benjamin Britten, and have a woman on the main page who illustrated songs, with a sense of humour. My places take you to Milan, my first visit to La Scala, and music features our latest choral Abendlob, with English music. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:27, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

[edit]
Hello Netherzone:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in December!

Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 December 2025 through 31 December 2025.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 3000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:07, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
- If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page.
