On 15 March 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Goat Canyon Trestle, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Goat Canyon Trestle (pictured) is the world's largest curved wooden trestle? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Goat Canyon Trestle. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, ), 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.

The 200 DYK Creation and Expansion Medal | |
Congratulations, Northamerica1000! From hors d'oeuvres such as prawn and walnut soup through rabbit stew and turkey ham with fruit ketchup on edible tableware à la zingara, all the way to the cherry ice cream, with occasional excursions to the Hotel Bora Bora or to Loggerhead Key to feast on coconut shrimps or shooter's sandwiches, you have now confected 200 DYK articles. Please consider celebrating this milestone in an alcohol-free bar if you are driving home. Moonraker (talk) 02:08, 7 March 2018 (UTC) |

Hi Northamerica1000 FYI I have been working on the article for Golden Lotus (musical) and found many sources, which I have added, that were not previously used in that article. The article is now up for review for reposting. A reviewer has suggested that the original deletion was unwarranted and has agreed that it now satisfies general notability.John99Wick (talk) 13:25, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Policybazaar's Wikipedia page was deleted recently from Wikipedia with reasons - notability. However, the organization is a reputed firm in India with several mentions in notable news/media sources. It was once nominated for deletion, however It was closen not to be deleted owing to its reputation as a known Indian organization. Saumyaraghav (talk) 07:22, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
I am a consumer of Policybazaar since 2014 and have bought two wheeler and car insurance through them every year. I guess the company must have a wiki page. It is a reputed insurance aggregator in India. I just started talk on my too.. Truthiswinner (talk) 07:46, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
I've bought a health insurance policy from Policybazaar and I'm really very happy with their aftersales services and it's a well-known insurance aggregator in India. It has a large chunk of customers, hence it should have a wiki page so that people come to know more about it and its services. It has a good brand value in the Indian market. A large chunk of Indian population is associated with this brand and availing its services. It's a popular brand in India. Nidhi2989 (talk) 08:38, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
Hello @Northamerica1000:,
My name is Sinead Noble and I work in the communications team at Nomad Foods.
I'm seeking to correct a number of inaccuracies about Nomad Foods on its Wikipedia page. In adherence to Wikipedia's best practice guidelines, and due to my conflict of interest, I am not making these edits directly and hoping that either you or someone you recommend from the Wikipedia community can make them on my behalf. These are as follows:
1. Nomad Foods is not a British Virgin Islands-based food company (paragraph one, line one) and our headquarters are not “Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands” (box out, right hand side). Nomad Foods is a “UK-headquartered European frozen food company” (paragraph one, line one). Please refer to our 2016 annual filing with the Securities Exchange Commission, https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1651717/000165171718000011/nomd-20171231x20f.htm which confirms that our HQ address is “No. 1 New Square, Bedfont Lakes Business Park, Feltham, Middlesex TW14 8HA” (box out, right hand side).
2. It is not correct that 85% of Nomad Foods’ revenues are “comprised of Germany, Austria, Italy and the UK” (paragraph one, line two). It is accurate to say that “Nomad Foods’ five largest countries – UK, Italy, Germany, France and Sweden – accounted for a combined 75% of total sales in 2016.” (paragraph one, line two). Please refer to page F-23 of our annual filing with the Securities Exchange Commission https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1651717/000119312517103513/d255179d20f.htm which provides detailed revenue information by country for the full year 2016. Page F-23 can be found two-thirds of the way down the webpage.
3. Nomad Foods was not founded on 1 April 2014 (box out, right hand side) Nomad Foods was formed on “1 June 2015” (box out, right hand side) following the completion of the acquisition of Iglo Food Holdings. Please refer to the announcement press release which you will see is dated 1 June 2015 https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1651717/000119312517103513/d255179d20f.htm.
4. The page states that “Nomad subsequently purchased the Findus Group, excluding its operations in the United Kingdom, in November 2015” (paragraph three, line one). This is not correct. The acquisition included the Findus brand in the UK. Please refer to the Daily Mirror (https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/business/findus-crispy-pancakes-been-saved-7634162) regarding the Findus Crispy Pancake product, confirming that the Findus brand in the UK is part of Nomad Group. My suggested edit is that the clause “excluding its operations in the United Kingdom” is deleted and that the rest of the sentence is retained.
5. The financial information is from 2014 and therefore outdated (box out, right hand side) The latest financial results can be found in our 2017 annual filing with the SEC (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1651717/000165171718000013/ex991pressrelease20171231.htm). As noted, Nomad Foods’ 2017 revenues were “EUR 1.957 billion”, operating income was “EUR 243 million”, total equity was “EUR 1.853 billion” euro and number of employees is “3,875 (31 December 2017)”.
Thank you in advance your help - if you have any questions, or require any more information, please don't hesitate to get in touch via my Talk page. There might be a few more requests in the future; if this is the case I will always be open, transparent, and provide verifiable third-party sources for any requests.

Hello, my old friend. How are things?
I notice we do not have an article on warmers. I'm think of starting it. Examples include the chafing dish, steam table, and that sort of thing. Any thoughts on a name, or section name within an article?

This article, whose most recent afd you closed, is currently at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2018 April 11, and this is your pro-forma notification. Looks like the user was trying to renominate for deletion rather than review the old discussion, though. —Cryptic 18:43, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
Long story short, I tried to clean up some NPOV issues in this article, but my edits keep getting reverted by Pahlevun (who seems to be heavily involved in all Iran Regime-related pages and their oppositions). Tried to take it to the article's Talk page (and asked for others to contribute) to no avail. Recently came across this AfD nomination, and wonder if E.M.Gregory's suggestion would also be viable for this article? The article has a long history of attacks and COI edits, so reverting to an earlier (more neutral) time and protecting the page may a good solution. Thanks for the feedback! London Hall (talk) 19:38, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for joining the Portals WikiProject.
Here's our first project-wide update. I hope you enjoy it...
The WikiProject reboot has been a success: the new re-envisioned project is up and running, with new members, ongoing discussions about automation, design, and upkeep; maintained task queques; and updates to members, like this, the very first one!
As you know, there's a proposal to delete all portals. It started out looking pretty dismal for portals, with primarily posts supporting their demise. It turned out that the proposer didn't post a deletion notice on the very pages being nominated for deletion (a requirement for all deletion discussions). Once that was done, a flood of opposition came in and has apparently turned the tide.
RfCs generally run for 30 days. It started April 8th, and so it has about 14 more days to run its course.
The more work we can do during that time on the portals, the stronger the reasons for keeping them will be. And the more prepared we will be for any MfDs that follow the closing of the RfC.
You may be wondering why we asked for AWB experience in the member-sign-up list.
We are gearing up to do maintenance runs on the entire set of portals, and the more people we have who can use AWB, the better.
But we're not quite ready to start this yet.
To be able to use AWB on the portals, we first need to know what the end result needs to be. Like on the news sections, do we comment out the out-of-date ones, or do we place the code to activate the newsbot on those pages? That would require an assessment of WikiNews and its news generating performance (areas covered, volume in each area), etc.
You can help us figure this out at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Portals#Discussions about news sections.
Another area we're gearing up for, to do passes with AWB, are upgrades to the intro sections of portals. Many of these have static (copied/pasted) excerpts that go stale over time.
We're trying to figure out how to make self-updating excerpts to replace the existing static excerpts that are on many portals, and once this is done, AWB will be used to place the new code. See the discussion on this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Portals#Discussions about selective transclusion in intros.
There are 3 major areas of activity right now:
There are a few hundred existing portals that are missing from this list.
The list of missing entries, and instructions on what to do, can be found at Portal talk:Contents/Portals#These are not listed yet.
We need everybody's help on this. It's a big chore for one persons. But, many hands make light work. Please help chip away at this chore as much as you can. A little each day, form all of us, will get this done pretty quick.
In addition to browsing the portals in the 2 lists mentioned in the section above, you should take a look at the portal name space itself and what is in it.
That can be done at Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals#Watchlist.
There are discussions on many aspects of the WikiProject's operations, with more to come.
Such as about the purposes and functions of portals, design discussions, and so on.
There's even a automated design discussion over at Village Pump Technical, on selective transclusion.
I hope to see you on the talk page.
In addition to the automation efforts mentioned above, we will be looking into how to automate the selection and display of alternating excerpts, and alternating pictures, for the various portal sections.
Watch for these discussions on the Wikiproject's talk page.
Get ready, get set, go! — The Transhumanist 22:54, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
P.S.: The main example given at the RfC of the problems of portals was Portal:Cricket. Therefore, it's the top priority portal to update. Please lend a hand. - TT
