A fact from John Chweya appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 29 August2026(check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Kenyan waste picker John Chweya rose to represent waste pickers at UN conferences?
Whoops I made a mistake with the article date - this was created on July 7, not July 10. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jishara (talk • contribs) 17:49, 10 July 2026 (UTC)
Overall: Overall, the article is well written. Jishara, can you confirm Chweya's birth year I added? I think birth year is an important part of a biography. Other than that, the article is good to go. KimYubin (talk) 03:07, 13 July 2026 (UTC)
@KimYubin: I can't find any sources confirming his birth year, so tweaked to what can be confirmed (he has to have been born in either 1990 or 1991 if he was 32 in 2023), let me know if anything else is needed. Jishara (talk) 03:12, 13 July 2026 (UTC)
Okay. Another small suggestion is to make it more clear in the article that the Intergovernmental Negotiation Committee on Plastic Pollution is a type of UN conference. KimYubin (talk) 11:33, 13 July 2026 (UTC)
@Jishara: before this gets promoted you need to implement @KimYubin's suggestion of making it clear in the article that the Intergovernmental Negotiation Committee on Plastic Pollution is a type of UN conference. TarnishedPathtalk 04:05, 23 August 2026 (UTC)
