Thank you today for Rosa Parks, about "the civil rights activist. Her famous refusal to move probably needs no introduction, but she was also a committed activist throughout her life, not just as part of the civil rights movement, but as part of the broader Black freedom struggle as well"! Thank you for more quality content, including a new FA! Enjoy your first TFA day. - I had Jubilant Sykes on the main page yesterday, DYK? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:39, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for quality articles about Rosa Parks, Luisa Capetillo, Rita Cetina Gutiérrez and Argelia Laya, among many others, for Love, Anger, Madness, for explaining in detail why "it makes sense to treat "Black" as both a racial and ethnic identifier", - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

You are recipient no. 3018 of Precious, a prize of QAI. Looking forward to your second TFA day on IWD! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:04, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi! Thank you so much for this and the previous message. I am just beginning to recover from an illness and had to take some time off of doing most stuff on Wikipedia, but this is really lovely. Happy you liked the articles! Spookyaki (talk) 22:54, 8 February 2026 (UTC)

Saw you're in Texas, which I'm vaguely aware is a pretty big place, but perhaps you might like to join this: Event:Wikicurious – The History of Austin, Texas. Pharos (talk) 21:33, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

Unfortunately pretty far away, but thanks for letting me know! Spookyaki (talk) 22:55, 8 February 2026 (UTC)

On 17 February 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Argelia Laya, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Argelia Laya went from being a teacher to a communist guerrilla fighter? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Argelia Laya. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Argelia Laya), 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.

Thank you today for Luisa Capetillo, about "Puerto Rican anarchist and feminist. She is a major figure in Puerto Rican working-class and women's history and an interesting example of a late-19th and early-20th century phenomenon: the cigar factory reader."! - I have Ruth Wagner and Käthe Menzel-Jordan on the same page. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:48, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

Thanks! It's a really interesting phenomenon. Those seem like neat articles! I'll be sure to take a look. Spookyaki (talk) 22:47, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you! - Of the four topics I helped to bring to the main page, I'm most proud of a woman's work, so made it my story. As it happens, last year's story OTD was about the woman. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:40, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

Happy editing! Oscar_. (talk) 16:48, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
