Disambiguation link notification for November 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sharon Begley, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Masthead. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

DYK for Mysterious New Mexico

On 10 April 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Mysterious New Mexico, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in his book Mysterious New Mexico, Ben Radford describes the use of scientific techniques to investigate thirteen cases of purported paranormal phenomena? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mysterious New Mexico. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, daily totals), 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.
