DYK for Birka female Viking warrior
On 9 October 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Birka female Viking warrior, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Birka female Viking warrior has been described as a shield-maiden similar to Brienne of Tarth from Game of Thrones? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Birka female Viking warrior. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Birka female Viking warrior), 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.
Hi
Just wanted to say "hi" and say that your editing at Meg Patterson has been stellar, in my view. So nice to encounter somebody so competent, who I never met before! Thanks for your work there. Jytdog (talk) 06:39, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
- @Jytdog: I appreciate your kind words. I just built upon the article you already had developed, and tidied the structure a bit. I also wanted to beef up the biographical details while preserving the emphasis on ineffectiveness of the NET procedure. There was one blog with some good details about her family and religion, but not a WP:RS, so unusable. I spent more time than I'd like to admit researching those details to find better sources... may come back to it another time. Cheers! — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 19:20, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

Riva Golan Ritvo
You recently reverted an edit on Max Ritvo, asking for a source that his mother went by "Riva Golan Ritvo" at the time of his birth. As there are no birth records for Max Ritvo publicly available (to my knowledge), this cannot be verified. However, "Ariella" is a pseudonym—it does not appear in any government documents—and there is no record of Riva Ritvo using it before she was exposed for providing false educational credentials to the New York Times. There is good reason to be skeptical regarding the information this person has published about herself and precise about the nature of her credentials. Thank you for your work on the page.
