On 8 January 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Spencer Cobb, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Spencer Cobb was a Kentucky senator for three and a half hours? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Spencer Cobb.

Re: Draft:John J. O'Hara (judge)
Just curious - are you planning to convert the bullet points to body text, or do you consider the bullet points to be the final form? BD2412 T 17:21, 16 July 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, I plan on converting them to body text! I apologize for the confusion. Using bullet points in drafts has become my personal style, and I didn't even think that might not be apparent to others. I can of course, move them to my userspace if that would be better practice. William R. Wilks II (talk) 17:24, 16 July 2026 (UTC)
