DYK & GA
Hello, AtunShei. I saw your fine expansion of Sudbury Fight (as well as your YT video on the topic); it's excellent work and well-sourced. It's too late now, but for future reference, if you either create a new article or do a 5x expansion of an article (generally by transforming a short, three sentence stub into a "real" article, like what happened for Sudbury Fight), it qualifies for Did you know, meaning that it can be shown on the front page of Wikipedia. Not a huge deal (Internet points!!1!), but still kinda cool. There is a strict 7-day limit since creation / expansion on nominations, though, which has since expired, so it's too late for Sudbury. I'm more mentioning it that if you find some other obscura bit of history that isn't well covered on Wikipedia, and create an article (or expand a stubby, tiny article) on that new topic, it's something to consider dropping a DYK nomination off for.

The other bit of Wikipedia inside-baseball to mention - there's two programs on Wikipedia for identifying quality articles, featured articles and good articles. I can't in good conscience recommend the featured article process to anyone but masochists, but good article nominations are a lot more lightweight, and I have to assume that the Sudbury Fight article would easily pass good article standards with flying colors. Good article nominations/Instructions contains the rules on how to nominate your article. Also, an article that has just been promoted to Good Article status is also eligible for a Did You Know nomination to appear on the front page, same as a new article. So getting the GA status is a way to get another bite at the apple of the article showing up on the front page.

Nice work, compliments again! SnowFire (talk) 15:20, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
