Thank you! - Today is Erntedank in Germany, thanksgiving, and we celebrated our village's 650th anniversary, and had the dress rehearsal for Verdi's Requiem with an interesting band of marimba, piano, horn, bass, timpani and drum, - concert tomorrow, our national holiday. Seeing a pic I took on the Main page was also a nice harvest. -- (never signed, 2 Sep)
I just added the stats for British logistics in the Western Allied invasion of Germany to the German DYK, - I don't know if your method accounts for an article having been moved during appearance (which I tried to prevent ...). Made the stats, in my book. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:54, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi! I was busy IRL and was off-wiki for a few days, but now I'm trying to get back to prep building. I just filled prep 2 and 3. Since it has been over a month, would you mind going through those preps and let me know if everything seems fine? I was finding it difficult to find quirky hooks, but then I read this. Hope you are doing good!! – Kavyansh.Singh ( talk) 20:46, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
I was looking at prep 1 and saw no biographies in the set. I'm guessing that is an issue. Plus the two music hooks. SL93 ( talk) 00:32, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
The same I thought :), maybe this is why they didn't what a hook on Cunard, very deceitful... but joke aside, even if they were related with the Cunards, they'd deserve a barnstorm (spelling mistake, Freudian slip?)for it. Actually I just thought of a good one. Paradise Chronicle ( talk) 06:46, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

I'm wondering what your thoughts are of the ethicality of a recent DYK practice of mine. A couple recent creations of mine I've run through DYK for the sole purpose of having my bases covered if I ever get them to FAC so they'll be WP:FOUR eligible: 9th Missouri Sharpshooter Battalion and Fort Curtis (Arkansas). Frankly, I imagine the fort is pretty non-interesting to most, and the sharpshooters weren't much better. I can't shake the feeling that dumping boring articles on the DYK process for the sake of having a DYK in the future is not an ethically good thing, but I think a second opinion would be nice.

Hi, I just ran across Template:Did you know nominations/Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which was recently promoted as a "moved to mainspace" article, which I thought was strange since I thought that article was years old. I would know--- I merged it myself! It turns out that the article only appears to be new because the old history was sequestered away at a different article title. The new article does indeed appear to have all-new prose. It's just a little strange to see an article for a five-year old video game qualify for "new article DYK" on a technicality, solely because the old article history was moved out by a WP:RM/TR. If it was developed in article-space like it probably should have, it would not qualify. Axem Titanium ( talk) 08:43, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
