A barnstar for you!

Thanks for all your years of work... Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:34, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
Thank you, Doc. Although the primary reason for my retirement is my lack of substantial activity of late, I won't deny that this current fiasco has been the proverbial straw. Hopefully someday I will be back. And thank you for representing our community so well. MikeLynch (talk) 07:27, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

DYK for Ranga Yogeshwar

On 4 August 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ranga Yogeshwar, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that at a young age, German TV personality Ranga Yogeshwar learned Kannada, Hindi, and Malayalam in order to communicate with his housekeeper, teacher, and gardener, respectively? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ranga Yogeshwar. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Ranga Yogeshwar), 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.
