DYK for Mariann Budde
[edit]On 27 February 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Mariann Budde, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that US congressman Mike Collins called for Bishop Mariann Budde (pictured) to be "added to the deportation list" after she urged President Donald Trump to "have mercy"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mariann Budde. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Mariann Budde), 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.

Cupcakes! | |||
|
I baked you a sweet cupcake to share a little WikiLove! I truly appreciate how you stood up for us newcomers, offered helpful resources and approached the discussion with genuine generosity of spirit. The internet, and even Wikipedia at times, can be a challenging space but you modeled the kind of patience, kindness and collaborative energy I really want to emulate as I continue learning the ropes here. Thank you sincerely for making this corner of Wikipedia a bit kinder. |
