English is not my first language, and I keep learning. Please explain how humble in quotation marks solves anything when no word meaning humble appears in the German original. Demut is (unfortunately) untranslatable, and humbleness and humility come closest, while the Magnificat usually has lowliness. Similarly for Hochmut = thinking too high of oneself. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 13:33, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
On 1 January 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Freedom of Information Act (Illinois), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after Illinois overhauled its Freedom of Information Act on January 1, 2010, the law became regarded as one of the most liberal public-records statutes in the United States? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Freedom of Information Act (Illinois). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Freedom of Information Act (Illinois)), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

Obviously being from Chicago you know what that is. I lived about a block from there in 1964 and 1965. I went to DeVry Technical Institute on Belmont Avenue to learn to become an electronics's technician. Turned out to be a very good career. I was in the aerospace industry for awhile and later repaired computers (hardware). DeVry was the time of tube technology. Transistors were just coming out.-- Doug Coldwell ( talk) 15:58, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
I created this article back in 2010. Notice the resemblance to today's Haz-Mat suits that the doctors and nurses are wearing to protect themselves against the coronavirus. Even right down to the white face mask over the mouth and nose for protection against miasma = believed to be a noxious form of "bad air". Where have i heard this before? Miasma theory is typically associated with the spread of contagious diseases. I think I heard something to this effect more recently, something about a "new variant" and the like. I believe it has been in Michigan since October (or before as this sudden uptick chart shows) and told my wife then that I thought the virus mutated. Perhaps I was not that far off. They have yet to officially announce it for our state that it is this state also as in California, Arizona, and Colorado. My wife and I have an appointment for Monday 1/11/2021 to get our first vaccination shot. I think then the second shot is a month away (or thereabouts) for the 95% protection. We are senior citizens, so came in the queue after the health workers and the old people in nursing homes. -- Doug Coldwell ( talk) 20:28, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi. I've reviewed your article City of Champaign v. Madigan for DYK and it looks good to me. I thought I remembered some template for telling you this but now it looks this is only if articles are not fully approved. And I don't like talking templatese anyway. I've raised a side issue about copying your own text but I don't think that impinges on DYK. Belatedly I see you have nominated the article for WP:GA. I tried this once and nothing happened at all for months so I withdrew it, never to try again. So I hope you have better luck. Best wishes. Thincat ( talk) 21:00, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
Take a closer look at the 1868 bird's eye view of the Columbus image. It is 98 mb so might take a little time for it to load in your viewer( ~60 seconds +/-). You can zoom in real good once loaded because of the very high resolution. Notice the one horse buggy on Main St between Harrison St and Prairie St. When you zoom way in you can notice the driver's eye's are blue. -- Doug Coldwell ( talk)
Dear Edge3, I notice that you've removed several tags at the article In Praise of Blood. This is premature. The article has multiple issues: sources that are not RS according to WP:RS; anonymous sources; questionable sources; misrepresented material; POV; factual errors; OR; undue weight; and so on. It needs guidance/input from neutral editors. Thank you. Saflieni ( talk) 21:41, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
On 18 January 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article City of Champaign v. Madigan, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that City of Champaign v. Madigan was the first decision by an Illinois court addressing whether the private emails of government officials are subject to public disclosure? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/City of Champaign v. Madigan. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, City of Champaign v.

Immensely sorry -- we were editing DYK prep 1 at the same time, and I got caught in the edit conflict. Would you like me to move the two I just added to a different prep? Vaticidalprophet ( talk) 01:27, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Hey, when Prep 5 opens, is it cool with you to move the NASCAR hooks you promoted there? I ask because Prep 4 will run on March 8th (International Women's Day), and an oddly high number of the hooks we have saved for then are sports-related. (I forgot to promote some day-related hooks myself, so you won't be the only one needing to move hooks to Prep 5 soon.) Vaticidalprophet ( talk) 01:22, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
I started the GA review for this article, but I just realized that you left a note that you would be willing to review the second nomination. If you have time, I feel like it would be easier for both of us if you took over the GA review from me. Please let me know what you think. Bait30 Talk 2 me pls? 04:06, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
On 7 March 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Brian Sicknick, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Your DYK hook about US Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick drew 15,871 adjusted page views (1,323 per hour) while on the Main Page.

It appears that you have been
canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While
friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a
neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are
indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain
point of view or side of a debate, or which are
selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of
consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you.
