DYK for Dreamer Isioma
On 9 January 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Dreamer Isioma, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Dreamer Isioma began learning music theory at the age of three? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Dreamer Isioma. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Dreamer Isioma), 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.

Question from Userjillroberts (13:54, 15 January 2023)
how do you fins 2 percent of a number --Userjillroberts (talk) 13:54, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
- Userjillroberts, you can multiply the number by 0.02 (2 hundredths or 2%), or divide it by 50 (dividing by 100 would give you 1%, so dividing by 50 gives you 2%). More information on percentages can be found at percentage. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 20:26, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of Margot Heuman
The article Margot Heuman you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Margot Heuman for comments about the article, and Talk:Margot Heuman/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Contentious topics procedure now in effect
You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to updates on the Arbitration Committee's contentious topics procedure revision process.
In December, the Arbitration Committee adopted the contentious topics procedure, which replaces the former discretionary sanctions system. The contentious topics procedure is now in effect following an initial implementation period.
- For a detailed summary of the changes from the discretionary sanctions system, see WP:DSVSCT.
- A brief guide for administrators may be found at Wikipedia:Contentious topics/Administrator instructions.
- Updated templates may be found at Template:Contentious topics.
- Suggestions and concerns may be directed to the arbitration clerk team at WT:AC/C.
The drafting arbitrators warmly thank all those who have worked to implement the new procedure during this implementation period and beyond. KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 19:44, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Question from MafQ2S (14:07, 28 January 2023)
I am trying to edit the page you have for the film "The Great Rock N Roll Swindle, as currently you have incorrect information about the actor who played the part Sue (or Soo) Catwoman. Someone named Judy Croll has been impersonating me for years, and has a facebook page also saying she played this part, when it was myself who played this part. I was in this film at aged just 15 in July-August 1978. I can prove this part was played by myself. On some actor websites for this film I am wrongly put on the site as playing the part of a secretary, which I did not play this part. There is no secretary part in this film as such and I could be seen as playing Mc Claren's sidekick. But I definitely played the part of Sue Catwoman. It is quite obvious also that I am not the real Sue Catwoman as she was much older at the time I was in this film, and looks completely different. I can supply proof to verify this information. I tried to edit the page but was not able to as I was blocked. I have recently corrected and supplied some proof to the Image database site, with this information. Please can you correct the information on my behalf? I use wifi connection on my home computer and cannot edit the page as I was blocked even when I turned off my VPN. I am very annoyed about Judy Croll impersonating me and would also like to know who supplied the information you have saying Judy Croll played this part.? Could you also allow me to edit the page or correct it for me? On the film credits it says introducing Faye Hart, some of my scenes, the main speaking part was removed due to underage nudity, some nude parts were left in unfortunately and were partially censored, but not on the CD or album cover. I do not want any unwanted attention as a result of my part in this film, neither do I want someone impersonating me. This person J. Croll, has been impersonating me and falsely saying she played this part for many years now. Judy Croll was not on film credits. Thank you, Faye Hart. --MafQ2S (talk) 14:07, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
