Thanks Andrew Davidson! I've been editing Wikipedia for a few years (did we meet at the first Classics Editathon?) but I think I need to brush up on a few technical skills... I'll have a look through the links you posted! Best wishes, JoOaktabby (talk) 11:16, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Dorothy Tarrant

On 19 March 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Dorothy Tarrant, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the first female British professor of Greek, Dorothy Tarrant, analysed Plato's style to conclude that he did not write the Socratic dialogue on beauty? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Dorothy Tarrant. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Dorothy Tarrant), 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.

Disambiguation link notification for January 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Anne Pippin Burnett, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Alcaeus and Hachette (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
