Ijeoma Oluo has been nominated for Did You Know

Hello, Lonehexagon. Ijeoma Oluo, an article you either created or to which you significantly contributed,has been nominated to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page as part of Did you know. You can see the hook and the discussion here. You are welcome to participate! Thank you. APersonBot (talk!) 12:04, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

DYK for Ijeoma Oluo

On 24 February 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ijeoma Oluo, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after the shooting of Trayvon Martin, Seattle author Ijeoma Oluo started writing about her social concerns on a blog that she had previously devoted to food? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ijeoma Oluo. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Ijeoma Oluo), 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.

Peace Dove

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, peoples rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. ―Buster7 ☎ 14:48, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Demographics of the United States

You said "The source code of the page has many "nbsp" (non-breaking spaces) or html codes that should be just a space. "

I suppose that's a matter of opinion. They are there to not break up with line breaks stuff that should be together. Removing them just makes readability harder. Twopower332.1938 (talk) 18:39, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

@Twopower332.1938: Thank you for taking the time to explain. I understand now that they are used to keep numbers together in case someone is on a narrow screen. I undid my own revision. Take care, Lonehexagon (talk) 19:20, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
