Whilst your enthusiasm for tagging wih {{
photo requested}} is to be commended, might I gently ask you to understand how the system works before you tag any more? It relies on articles being placed in a category that actually exists, and before tagging with {{photo requested|Scientists}} you should have checked that the corresponding category of
Category:Wikipedia requested images of Scientists actually existed. Which it doesn't, because most categories use normal "sentence" capitalisation so you should have used a lower-case "scientists", and you would have found that
Category:Wikipedia requested images of scientists is a redirect to
Category:Wikipedia requested images of scientists and academics. Which has full instructions on how to add articles to it - notably you can add via | needs-photo = yes | s&a-work-group = yes
on the WPBio template. Several of the articles you tagged had | needs-photo = y
(which doesn't work) rather than | needs-photo = yes
.

On 12 January 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Eleanor Vadala, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Eleanor Vadala (pictured), the third woman in the U.S. to receive FAA certification as a balloon pilot, also studied and repaired balloons, and drove chase cars after them? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Eleanor Vadala. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Eleanor Vadala), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.

Mary Mark Ockerbloom, since Achaea has not edited on Wikipedia since April 4, someone else will be needed to shepherd this nomination through. You have already worked on the article in the course of its DYK review; might you be willing to do more? If not, I'm afraid that we're going to end up having to close the nomination, which is well over two months old at this point. Please let me know as soon as you're back to editing. Many thanks.
