DYK for Isabel Leighton
On 7 February 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Isabel Leighton, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Isabel Leighton (pictured), an actress and writer, created a chair in hematology at Yale University in honor of her husband? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Isabel Leighton. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Isabel Leighton), 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.

I have sent you a note about a page you started
Hello, Whitsunderland
Thank you for creating List of recipients of the Sagamore of the Wabash Award.
User:Scope creep, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:
I'm a bit confused. The sections have links which is not a good idea, re: WP:MOS. It might be worth putting in an intro into each section that gives some kind of date range when they were governors. It is not immediately clear what is being presented.
To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Scope creep}}. Please remember to sign your reply with ~~~~ .
(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Brass bands
Hi! I found your proposal for creating a brass band WikiProject (under your previous username), and wondered if you'd had any further thoughts on that? Trying to revive and broaden Wikipedia:WikiProject Marching band seems possibly worth a go? (It might also help bring a more international perspective on some of the marching band content too.)
The quality of brass band coverage on Wikipedia is really atrocious - for example, John Iles (founder of the National Brass Band Championships, owner of British Bandsman, and an extremely minor county cricketer) was until a few days ago mentioned on Wikipedia *solely* for his cricketing record; and Draft:James Shepherd (musician) failed to make it to article space for not having demonstrated that he was notable. Even British brass band isn't great. It would be useful to at least have somewhere to highlight articles that would benefit from attention.
(Incidentally, in the absence of anywhere else to highlight this, I've done a fairly big rewrite on that James Shepherd draft and resubmitted it for review, if you had a moment to take a look at it.) TSP (talk) 21:40, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
