New mosque article(s)

Hey, I thought I'd let you know I created an article for Al-Mohammadi Mosque, a mosque in Casablanca that seemed noteworthy enough to merit it, in case you're interested. My sources were a little limited though, so I figured you might also be able to help add more to it in the future, if you happen to know any useful references. Any improvements/corrections are welcome. (PS: Feel free to have a look also at the curious Mosque of the Cat in Marrakesh, which I also started recently and which might benefit from additional local sources, if you come across any.) Cheers, R Prazeres (talk) 03:35, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

R Prazeres, sorry for the delayed response. Fantastic as usualǃ I'll try to look into them more. I didn't know about the Mosque of the Cat—delightfulǃ Thanks for the article. إيان (talk) 08:16, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Nasser Zefzafi

Hey @إيان! I really admire and appreciate all the work you do for Morocco-related articles. The article on Nasser Zefzafi is in terrible shape. Would you like to tag team improving it a bit? Mooonswimmer 00:53, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

Mooonswimmer, thank you for your kind words. Collaborating for the improvement of the encyclopedia is one of my favorite things about editing Wikipedia, so thank you for the invitation. What kinds of improvements do you have in mind? إيان (talk) 08:12, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

DYK for Censorship under the military dictatorship in Brazil

On 21 April 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Censorship under the military dictatorship in Brazil, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that newspapers in Brazil printed cake recipes and 16th-century poetry to cover material censored by the military dictatorship? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Censorship under the military dictatorship in Brazil. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Censorship under the military dictatorship in Brazil), 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.

The Signpost: 26 April 2023

Thanks for the update to The 1619 Project

Good job here [1]. (There's no thank link for some reason). I checked it out and thought you had only removed the paragraph about Florida, so I reverted. WHELP. I should have scrolled and looked more carefully. Thankfully, MrOllie saw the mistake in only a few minutes and put it all back. Happy editing. 66.207.202.66 (talk) 19:52, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
