- Since July, I've turned off my mentions to avoid being pinged. It's not because I don't like it, but there's an annoying LTA who keeps pinging me and several other editors with his extremely immature bullshit he posts on every page he can think of with a load of proxies, and I don't think it's going to stop for a year at the most, or even worse, at the least.

DYK for Interstate 59 in Alabama
edit
On 22 November 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Interstate 59 in Alabama, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Malfunction Junction in Birmingham, Alabama, carried 160,000 vehicles in 2018, instead of 80,000 as it was intended to hold? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Interstate 59 in Alabama. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Interstate 59 in Alabama), 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.
