A barnstar for you![edit]

		The Excellent New Editor's Barnstar A new editor on the right path
		For your work on Black soup. You obviously went well beyond expectations, adding myriad sources and thousands of words to the article. In doing so, you likely created the Web's most thorough explanation of this topic. Allow me to express my hope that you will continue to edit well after the end of your class.

DYK for Black soup[edit]

On 26 May 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Black soup, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that ancient Spartans ate black soup? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Black soup. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Black soup), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 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.
