I hope you do not mind that I have done more than several edits to the article you created. As a creator of an article, you can submit a "Did You Know" item to that feature that appears on the mainpage every day. You have seven days from the article being accepted (4-19) to make that submittal.

How do I submit a "Did You Know" item? Halsey1237 (talk) 16:12, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

See partway down page at Template talk:Did you know. Briefly, you have to set it up and then submit it (separate actions). Ask me on my Talk if you get stuck. David notMD (talk) 21:45, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

a possible DYK: ...that Edward J. O'Donnell (military) was Commander of Guantanamo Bay Naval Base during the 1963 Cuban missile crisis? David notMD (talk) 15:03, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

I see you created a DYK, but it is not showing up as submitted. David notMD (talk) 18:18, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Step III at Template talk:Did you know explains how to add the DYK you created to the nominations queue. After, that, as an option, you can add the fact that a DYK has been proposed to the Talk page of the nominated article. When I create a DYK, I don't bother with that. A proposed DYK stays in the nominations list until a reviewer takes it up, and then either approves or asks the nominator to make changes. You can look at DYKs in the list to see the types of discussions go on. David notMD (talk) 18:54, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

The DYK Review requirement is not that you review an existing article, it is that you completed a review on a DYK nomination. Your first five DYK nominations do not require performing a review, but after that required. See my Talk page for how I keep track. David notMD (talk) 23:12, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

I see that you succeed in submitting the DYK. Can be weeks before a DYK reviewer takes it up. And while you submitted an image, it may end up being used without the image, as for each day's set of DYKs, only one has an image. At Template talk:Did you know, progress is from submitted to approved to Preps to Queues. These can be accessed via the right side menu. Each ends up on the main page for one day. At the article, View history, and then Page Views will show how many people per day (or per month) view the article. DYKs get a one-day bump into the thousands.

Children's names, colleges and careers should not be in articles unless they are subjects of Wikipedia articles themselves. David notMD (talk) 21:49, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

LinkedIn not an acceptable ref. See if you can find a ref to replace. David notMD (talk) 21:53, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Good. David notMD (talk) 02:09, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Edward J. O’Donnell (military)

Hello! Your submission of Edward J. O’Donnell (military) at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:17, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

I left a note at your DYK that you are exempt from doing a QPQ because you have nominated and completed fewer than five DYKs. However, if you want to do the one you identified as your intended review, more power to you. David notMD (talk) 21:24, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Your DYK is on hold until the two 'citation needed' tags added to the article are addressed. David notMD (talk) 15:17, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Andover, Massachusetts

Please don't add red links to articles that are not likely to ever be created. Very few middle schools are notable enough to warrant an article. Meters (talk) 05:10, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Brian E. Winski

I tagged the article with needs references. I also deleted the high school photo, as I suspect it is a copyright issue. Finding a photo on the internet does not mean it can be used. Also, section titles are bracketed with two = on each side, not one. You are over-linking. Once a word or phrase is Wikilinked in an article (Major General) there is no need to repeat the linking every time it is used again. David notMD (talk) 15:28, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Doherty Middle School

Middle schools rarely qualify for articles unless there is published historic or newsworthy content about the school. Local newspaper citations about the school are not sufficient to convey notability. Notable alumni are not sufficient either. If you submit this draft to Articles for Creation it will likely be declined. If you bypass AfC and move it to mainspace it will likely be nominated for Articles for Deletion. I recommend you abandon the draft or else request that it be deleted by an administrator. David notMD (talk) 15:42, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Nomination of Scott E. Langum for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Scott E. Langum is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scott E. Langum until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Gbawden (talk) 12:08, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Still with us?

Concerned, because you have stopped editing, leaving some things unfinished. David notMD (talk) 15:25, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

I’m still here. Halsey1237 (talk) 16:32, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Your DYK is stalled until you addresss the comments left by the reviewer. David notMD (talk) 20:42, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello! Your submission of Edward J. O’Donnell (military) at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Yoninah (talk) 16:52, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

DYK for Edward J. O'Donnell (military)

On 15 July 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Edward J. O'Donnell (military), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that U.S. admiral Edward Joseph O'Donnell passed responsibility for Guantanamo Bay Naval Base to its new commander on a golf course? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Edward J. O'Donnell (military)), 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.
