DYK for Gerald McGinnis

Latest comment: 7 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

On 10 April 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Gerald McGinnis, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Gerald McGinnis founded his first medical device company from his own home, working at night and using his kitchen oven as a kiln? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Gerald McGinnis. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Gerald McGinnis), 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.
