DYK for Benjamin Rathbun edit

On 13 July 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Benjamin Rathbun, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Benjamin Rathbun constructed more than one hundred buildings in Buffalo, New York in the 19th century, and was later jailed for forged endorsements? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Benjamin Rathbun. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Benjamin Rathbun), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

Coal merchant edit

Hi, fair enough on removing the link. I'm not dogmatic about limiting the coal merchant article to the UK, it focuses on the UK because it's what I know and what I was able to find sourcing on.

For what was once a major class of business it's really surprising how little there is I can find that discusses the history of the job, almost all mentions are "her dad was a coal merchant" or stuff like that. I think people have seen the job as pretty self-explanatory and not worth writing about. Adele Emm's article on what the job did and meant is really the only really excellent modern outline of it I know. Blythwood (talk) 23:26, 28 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
