DYK for Lobster emoji

[edit]

On 19 December 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Lobster emoji, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a U.S. senator advocated for the lobster emoji (pictured)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Lobster emoji. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Lobster emoji), 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.

Wishing you and yours a fantastic Christmas (or holiday season for those who don’t celebrate) and all the best for 2026. 🎄 ❄️☃️

Here’s to a collaborative, constructive year ahead — with good faith, good edits, and just enough discussion to get things done!

Thank you for improving article quality in December! - Today's 1715 Advent Bach cantata translates to "Prepare the ways", - listen to quite stunning music if you haven't ;) - "places" take you to Copenhagen. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:02, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Happy holidays!

Happy holidays and a prosperous 2026!

Yikes it's that time of year... where did 2025 go? leeky, I've done my best to be brief here, but as with most of our plans (looking at you, 1910 revolt), they have gone awry. This is my attempt. Growing closer this past year has, to state the obvious, been an absolute pleasure. Your talent for making people feel at ease, your kindness, your empathy, your diverse skillset—it's all a bit magical. Thank you for all the help you have given me, thank you for being there for me, thank you for your advice, thank you for the letter you wrote at WCNA, thank you for listening to my deranged takes on various things; most of all, thank you for being the incredible person that you are. An absolute honor to call you a friend. I am thrilled that we'll get to serve together on ArbCom! You are the best 💜, and have an awesome 2026.

Infinite Possibilities
Is this real life? Yes! Is this going to be forever? No! Elvis is getting ready to leave the building and 2026 is about to be born, kicking and screaming. They say nothing gold can stay, but I say, don't listen to them, stay golden all the same. Here's to a new year of infinite diversity and beautiful combinations!

Happy holidays!!!!!

leek, thanks for being a fun person to talk to offwiki as well as an excellent admin and arbitrator - I look forward to another year of us working together on arbcom matters as a clerk :D Thank you for all the content work and arbitration work you do on Wikipedia (seriously, as a primarily maintenance kinda person I can't imagine writing so many high-quality DYKs like you do......), and happy holidays to you and yours ~delta {talkcont🇰🇷🎢} 00:36, 26 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
