DYK for Stefano Manetti
On 29 July 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Stefano Manetti, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Stefano Manetti was co-consecrated a bishop by the same man who ordained him a priest 30 years earlier? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Stefano Manetti. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Stefano Manetti), 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 suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
