DYK for Sidney Hill

[edit]

On 20 February 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sidney Hill, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that philanthropist Sidney Hill began a new life in England as a gentleman farmer, adding stables to the estate, a dairy and Langford Bullock Palaces for his prized shorthorn cattle? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sidney Hill. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Sidney Hill), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

The Bio-star
Gricharduk, Thank you for the article about Jane Ingham. Not only did it hone my review skills, I learned about a fascinating woman biologist and got to work with a responsive and intelligent nominator. You took this article from non-existent to GA this year, which is an amazing feat! Great job, and I hope we get to work together again. Eewilson (talk) 07:27, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Eewilson, Thank you very much and what a lovely person you are. None of the above would have been possible without your thorough review, editing, advice, and hard work. I consider you joint author of the article as you improved it so much during the review. It has been a joy to work with you and you have taught me so much over the last week. Wikipedia is very lucky to have you. Have a great day, Gricharduk (talk) 08:41, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Grichard, Thank you! I will take a bit of credit, but you have been the one who took on this project and ran with it. You are now the Tupper-Carey expert. I only know the bare minimum! Eewilson (talk) 08:45, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Topicons"

[edit]

Hi, Gricharduk! Did you know that you can put a topicon on your userpage for each of your good articles, DYKs, and featured articles? Just a nice little way to reward yourself and brag a bit. See Template:GA user topicon, Template:DYK user topicon, and Template:FA user topicon. —Eewilson (talk) 07:39, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Eewilson Thank you very much. No, I did not know about this template (there is so much I don't know) so I am going to add this to my userpage. Gricharduk (talk) 08:36, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

TFA blurb quick review

[edit]

Hi, Gricharduk! Symphyotrichum lateriflorum has achieved FA status, and I have nominated it to be on the main page in a Today's Featured Article. A few people need to read the blurb and make suggestions if needed, and Support or Oppose, whichever applies. Would you be willing to take a look at the blurb, make any suggestions, comment if you have any, etc.? It is at this link: Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/Symphyotrichum lateriflorum. Eewilson (talk) 05:27, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Morning Eewilson, of course! I will take a look now (it's a fantastic article). Sorry for my recent lack of communication, my current work project is getting in the way of what I love most - editing here :) I hope you are well, Gricharduk (talk) 05:45, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! Internet outages are affecting me. Random cable modem/router reboots that began on Tuesday when Comcast, our ISP, had an outage in various areas across the nation. I suspect they are sending out packets that my "older" modem doesn't like. It's very annoying. :) Eewilson (talk) 07:35, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Articles expanded

[edit]

Hello. I was wondering if you could help with a quick query regarding one of your expanded articles for Leslie Hood what source(s)/confirmation do you have that he is the same L Hood who took part at the Olympics? There is lots of detail in his biography, but I can't seem to locate anything that confirms they are one and the same. Thank you. 2A00:23C8:3091:9000:A78C:CDF8:BE2A:387F (talk) 18:50, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the 3 November 1900 edition of the Kenilworth Advertiser, Hood is named as one of the quarter backs in the Olympic squad. In that same report, his current team is stated as Rosslyn Park. Hoyer-Millar's book, Fifty years of Rosslyn Park (1929), also gives some biographical details on Hood (in the chapter 1896-1900), and various London newspapers (see the West London Obeserver), give his full name on some match reports.
