DYK for Peter Badcoe

On 8 July 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Peter Badcoe, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Australian Army major Peter Badcoe (pictured) was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross for displaying "conspicuous gallantry and leadership" on three occasions? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Peter Badcoe. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Peter Badcoe), 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.

TFA

Thank you for Yugoslav monitor Vardar, "an Austro-Hungarian river monitor that served under two names in the Danube Flotilla during World War I, during which she fought the the Serbian Army, the Romanian Navy and Army, and the French Army. After the war she was transferred to the the newly created Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia), and renamed. During the German-led Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941, she laid mines in the Danube near the Romanian border, and fought off several attacks by the Luftwaffe, but was forced to withdraw to Belgrade. Due to high river levels and low bridges, her navigation was difficult, and she was scuttled by her crew on 11 April."! Wish you stats like Kafka had, a few days ago ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:45, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Gerda. I seriously doubt it, but here's hoping! Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:29, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You are probably right, - for some reason, Kafka is exceptional. Too bad the description of organisational failure (click to open the book) is so precise. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:11, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Managed half of that... But not bad for an article about an old river gunboat. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:54, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Greater Serbia

Can I just extend my thanks for having cleaned up the contentious Serbia/Kosovo matter. I did try, and no matter what you do this is one you just cannot demonstrate parity unless you churn out an entire screed. I did say I'd welcome improvements and what I see is a prominent effort. I may write pretty well but to hear me speak you'll know English isn't my native tongue. So once again, thanks. --Juicy Oranges (talk) 13:57, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to help, but let's just see if it sticks. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 00:38, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
