Hello.... How does editing work? Apparently my nitwit of a brother got himself banned indefinitely last night, according to what he told me, which wasn't much, he was merely telling the truth(although, I do know he can be rather aggressive in telling or describing) on a topic that needed "serious revision and rectification," and that he wasn't being heard or taken seriously.... Quite the contrary in my astute opinion. So, back to my question, how does editing work, as I'd love to be a contribution to what I call the earthly version of "encyclopedia Galactica." -- Aphestus ( talk) 07:48, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
On 25 May 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Boot Monument, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a boot is the only monument in the United States dedicated to the traitor Benedict Arnold because it "was the only part of Arnold not to later turn traitor"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Boot Monument. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Boot Monument), 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.

Belko05 ( talk) 00:07, 13 June 2024 (UTC) Hello Relativity, I'm the guy that made the edit on Pedro Miguel Arce about his cause of death. It stated on the second citation (with is from Bloody Disgusting), that Arce died from cancer. I was just adding something that technically was already there. It also included an Instagram post which stated that, "After a brief battle with cancer, Pedro passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family"
Also on an unrelated note, are we allowed to give the name of the Belgrade school shooter here because many news sites gave his name as Kosta Kecmanovic.
