DYK for North Woods and North Meadow

On 4 June 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article North Woods and North Meadow, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that North Woods in New York City's Central Park contains a bridge (pictured) made of boulders, some weighing nearly 100 short tons (89 long tons), which are held together by gravity? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/North Woods and North Meadow. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, North Woods and North Meadow), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ellis Island, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Samuel Ellis (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
