On 21 June 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Vaal Reefs mining disaster, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that 104 miners were killed in the 1995 Vaal Reefs mining disaster when a locomotive fell on an elevator, making it history's deadliest elevator disaster?

Sock

Thanks - I blocked the sock. In future, probably best to post stuff like that to my talk page, or to raise an SPI report, rather than post on the master's talk page - easier to miss there (I get a lot of pings...). Cheers Girth Summit _(blether) 09:45, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that's fair. Maybe I'm being overcautious with trying to AGF and inviting this user to engage and improve. Zaian (talk) 09:49, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
