DYK for Jack Brooksbank

On 8 December 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jack Brooksbank, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Jack Brooksbank, husband of Princess Eugenie of York, was not given a peerage following his marriage, as there is no general precedent in Britain for a commoner to be given one on marrying a princess? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jack Brooksbank. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Jack Brooksbank), 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.

Wedding of Princess Margaret

Hi Walco1. I was wondering if you were interested in creating a separate article about the wedding of Princess Margaret. You had done a wonderful job in creating similar articles about the weddings of Prince Edward and Princess Alexandra, and since you're interested in topics related to royalty I thought maybe I should bring this into your attention. Let me know what your response it. Stay safe :) Keivan.f^Talk 06:36, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Keivan.f. Thank you for your kind remarks about my wedding articles! I have just finished Princess Margaret's and will be publishing it now. Thanks again and stay safe:) Walco1 (talk) 20:02, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Ways to improve Trinity United Church (Peterborough, Ontario)

Hello, Walco1,

Thank you for creating Trinity United Church (Peterborough, Ontario).

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

The first three references in this article go to a wikipedia article. So notability - and the history of this church - are not established. Only the proposed merger and calling off of the merger are noted in references. So I now have to direct you to WP:SIGCOV - to satisfy this or the article may not merit inclusion. Kindly do the needful.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Whiteguru}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Whiteguru (talk) 08:40, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

@Whiteguru: The first three references are not to The Peterborough Examiner Wikipedia article but to articles published in the Examiner. I will remove the Wikilinks in the citations if that will make this clear. Walco1 (talk) 15:16, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi, there. I just want to apologise for my reverts to your edits on Wedding of Hussein, Crown Prince of Jordan, and Rajwa Al Saif and List of guests at the coronation of Charles III and Camilla, where you changed the links of Frederik X and Queen Mary. As I said to User:Keivan.f, I did not realise that you were changing the link, I thought you were changing the actual text, so I'm sorry about that. I hope you have a great day! My apologies again.
