Thank you for creating the article Isabel Ashdown. I have expanded it and added some references. Please give it a look to make sure that I haven't introduced any errors, when you have a chance. It is very important that Wikipedia articles cite references using reliable sources. DES ^(talk) 18:04, 3 February 2010 (UTC) reply

On February 14, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Isabel Ashdown, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
