DYK for Louis Abramson

On 20 December 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Louis Abramson, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Louis Abramson worked on the renovation of a building that he designed 57 years earlier? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Louis Abramson. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Louis Abramson), 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.

I'm sorry my hook caused so many problems. It sounds like a game of Jenga gone awry. Viriditas (talk) 21:39, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Don't worry about it. Like so many things, it was a series of small problems that fed on each other. Sounds like we've got it sorted out now. RoySmith (talk) 21:44, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
