DYK for Football (Disorder) Act 2000
On 1 August 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Football (Disorder) Act 2000, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Football (Disorder) Act 2000 was pushed through Parliament in the United Kingdom in a month following hooliganism during Euro 2000? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Football (Disorder) Act 2000. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Football (Disorder) Act 2000), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.
Disambiguation link notification for August 1
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nick van der Velden, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Willem II. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
