DYK for Senate Avenue YMCA
editOn 24 April 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Senate Avenue YMCA, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Indianapolis African-American community raised $100,000 in just ten days in 1911 to establish the Senate Avenue YMCA? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Senate Avenue YMCA. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Senate Avenue YMCA), 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.

Historical state markers by county
editHey, I wanted to let you know that it seems unlikely that many of the county-level state historical marker articles meet WP:LISTN. The set of Indiana state historical markers as a whole almost certainly does meet that criterion. I'm not sure it's really worth the effort of restructuring all of the pages, but it's something worth keeping in mind if you're ever thinking of starting similar new sets lists. signed, Rosguill talk 18:47, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
