Newspapers.com links
[edit]Good work on Diamond Lake, Illinois. I noticed that you used a Newspapers.com citation but did not link to a clipping but rather the newspage, which is locked behind the paywall. In the future, please use the clipping function and link to the generated clip per the instructions at Wikipedia:Newspapers.com. SounderBruce 02:15, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- I will fix this. sorry. SeymourHolcomb (talk) 21:45, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for doing my job haha. Clipping is really tedious, so dropped the ball. (P.S. do DYKs usually take this long?)
(P.S.S. do you know of any good resources for the economies of towns, as an American geography Wikipedian? I found that anything talking about Mundelein's economy was mostly puffery.) SeymourHolcomb (talk) 22:04, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
DYK for Diamond Lake, Illinois
[edit]
On 29 July 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Diamond Lake, Illinois, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that future American presidential candidate George McGovern was a student pastor at a church in Diamond Lake, Illinois? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Diamond Lake, Illinois. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Diamond Lake, Illinois), 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.
