DYK for Parachuting animals[edit]
On 8 April 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Parachuting animals, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that beavers, mules, and dogs have been parachuted from airplanes? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Parachuting animals. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Parachuting animals), 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.
- This is an excellent article - great work. I've added a section on air-dropping fish, which I hope is in scope. Please remove it if you think that it's not. Regards, Nick-D (talk) 11:32, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.
Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.
Useful links:

Why?[edit]
Hello dearest editor,
I probably believe something is wrong somewhere especially with your mots recent edit on the article, Draft:Gerald F. Seib. Firstly, you tagged it per copyvio (close paraphrasing) of a detector which was cited from another source. Common, the article was created by a new editor as I can see and may not know all these things, the best option is to help. Optionally, the article in question meets out general notability guidelines for WP:JOURNALIST and WP:GNG and mostly, even if it goes to AFD, it will possibly survive. That's the goal of AFC and not otherwise. Now, my major interest is why this revert. It seems good to me and as a matter of fact, can be copyedited (there are many articles needing copywdit on same encyclopedia). I just saw this reversion and decide to demand the reason when you could have deleted the copied ones and revdel. Besides, we know the rile there is that it should be deleted when nothing is left after removing the copied ones. — Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 15:15, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
