A barnstar for you!
[edit]

The Original Barnstar | |
| Thank you for your recent Olympics expansions, particularly on old athletes. They are greatly appreciated. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:27, 21 June 2025 (UTC) |
- @BeanieFan11 Omg! I'm so touched, thank you so much! I truly do appreciate it. :) Arconning (talk) 15:29, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
- Looking at a few of your expansions, I came across some decent potential DYKs – do you intend on nominating any of Mohamed Lazhari (... that Mohamed Lazhari was the first Algerian Olympian?), Ahmed Hamada (... that Ahmed Hamada was part of the first Bahrain Olympics team and later became the first Bahraini medalist at the Asian Games?), Sangay Tenzin (... that Sangay Tenzin was the first Olympic swimmer for Bhutan?), Golekane Mosveu (... that mine labourer Golekane Mosveu became an Olympic runner after someone noticed him for his fitness?), Verona Marjanović (could probably do something about her leaving to train while bullets were being fired), Charles Champaud (... that Swiss gymnast Charles Champaud also introduced football to the capital of Bulgaria?), Isoup Ganthy (... that Isoup Ganthy, part of Cambodia's first Olympic team, later died in prison after being accused of working to overthrow the country?), David Njitock (... that David Njitock was Cameroon's first Olympian?), William Taramai (... that William Taramai was the first Olympic flag bearer for the Cook Islands?) or Jorge Perry (... that Jorge Perry, the first Colombian Olympian, fainted during his participation?)? BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:54, 24 June 2025 (UTC)
- @BeanieFan11 Of course! Thank you so much for the potential hooks, I'm quite caught up on further editing so I'll probably nominate them later... Arconning (talk) 17:00, 24 June 2025 (UTC)
- I guess I am too late in giving you this barnstar :( The Knowledge Pirate (talk) 23:53, 24 June 2025 (UTC)
- @The Knowledge Pirate The thought still counts, thanks for the possible barnstar anyway. :) Arconning (talk) 03:31, 25 June 2025 (UTC)
- I’ve just read Howard Wing and wondered who had turned a Lugnuts stub into a useful bio. I wanted to express my appreciation and see that I have to join a queue. Well done! Schwede66 19:01, 25 June 2025 (UTC)

- Some other possible DYK hooks (I love when foreign Olympians appear on DYK
): ... that Frankenstein competed at the Olympics? / ... that Charles Winckler was selected to the Olympics in swimming, track and field, and won a gold medal in tug of war? / ... that Bernardo de la Guardia was Costa Rica's first Olympian? (while, like the message below said, "first" hooks are discouraged – if its clearly verifiable then it is usually acceptable) / ... that Alberto Torres was the Dominican Republic's first Olympian? / ... that Joseph M'Bouroukounda was Gabon's first Olympian? / ... that runner Alberto Jarrín once defeated a train? / if you get it to GA: ... that 1908 Olympian Louis Baillon remains the only person from the Falkland Islands to ever win a gold medal? / ... that Christina Næss is the only Paralympic gold medalist for the Faroe Islands? BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:42, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
- @BeanieFan11 Ooo tysm! I'll make sure to implement some of these. Arconning (talk) 08:33, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

"First" hooks
[edit]Hey there! Thanks for contributing to DYK. I've noticed that, recently, you have proposed several DYK hooks that involve a "first" claim (for example, Sangay Tenzin being Bhutan's first Olympic swimmer). Per recent changes to WP:DYKHOOK and recent discussions at DYK, superlative hooks such as "first" claims are now discouraged at DYK as they are hard to prove. While they are not outright prohibited, DYK now encourages other hook options whenever possible. With this in mind, will you be able to propose non-"first" hooks for your nominations such as Tenzin and Edness? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:49, 27 June 2025 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5 Of course, I'll fix 'em Arconning (talk) 10:34, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

[edit]On 27 June 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Frej Liewendahl, 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/Frej Liewendahl. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Frej Liewendahl), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.
