DYK for Murad Al-Katib
[edit]On 1 January 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Murad Al-Katib, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Murad Al-Katib provided 700 million meals of Saskatchewan-grown chickpeas, lentils and wheat to a United Nations program for Syrian refugees? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Murad Al-Katib. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Murad Al-Katib), 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.

Misinformation Template Updates
[edit]I have published some changes in my sandbox for your feedback. There are variations of the Who's Who section for you to pick. Additionally, let me know when you'd be happy for the changes to go live. I'll make the initial update to the existing template to ensure everything appears right on the pages. Afterwards, I'm sure you'll be comfortable to tinker and maintain the titles. Thanks for this collaboration! Matthew Yeager (talk) 07:30, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
