On 15 April 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Henry II, Count of Champagne, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that medieval sources disagree on exactly how Count HenryII of Champagne died in a fall, variously blaming a broken window bar, a carpet, or even a falling dwarf? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Henry II, Count of Champagne. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Henry II, Count of Champagne), 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 nominate it.
You are invited to participate in the Destubathon of the Americas, a contest/editathon which will run from May 1 to May 31. The goal is to destub as many of our 475,000+ stubs for the Americas (from Alaska down to Chile) as possible. A good chance to have fun in expanding many of our old stale stubs and win up to £2000 ($2680) in Amazon vouchers for expanding stub articles. Sign up in the Contestants/participants section on the contest page if interested. Even if not interested in prizes you are still warmly welcome to participate in it as an editathon! Hopefully we can achieve something significant in the month of May together! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:36, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
Could you please clarify what counts as a "stub for the Americas"? Is it articles in certain categories, e.g. Category:Mexico stubs? Or any topic that is related to the Americas, e.g. Xiphophorus nezahualcoyotl? Surtsicna (talk) 18:03, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
I'm not not going to undo your reversion (Special:Diff/1350759607), but I seem to recall it being common to link e.g. Queen Elizabeth II in certain articles, which is why I thought that "King HenryI of Castile" seems a little more stylistically supportable. I don't really mind either way, though. — RAVENPVFF·talk· 21:24, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
Just thought I should explain this edit in a bit more detail: I think it looks much cleaner to link "Prince Ramón" (the full noun phrase here) instead of just "Prince Ramón", even though I appreciate that "Prince" is a title, not a name. — RAVENPVFF·talk· 14:01, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
I sort of agree. In two-word title/name combos, linking both looks good: Queen Victoria, President Carter, Princess Grace. Anything more than two words and linking the title looks excessive: President George W. Bush, King George VI, Prince Albert II of Monaco. And yet there are exceptions: Emperor Naruhito, Prince Louis of Wales. I suppose it has to do with whether the name is ambiguous on its own (Victoria, Carter, Grace) or unambiguous (George W. Bush, George VI, Albert II of Monaco). Surtsicna (talk) 19:29, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
