On 12 October 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Heya (sumo), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that professional sumo fighting stables are often housed in Shinto shrines when they travel outside of Tokyo? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Heya (sumo). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Heya (sumo)), 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 nominate it.

Hi @OtharLuin, do you speak Japanese? If so, I would really appreciate if you could help me spot check and evaluate the reliability of some Japanese sources in a GA review I am doing. IAWW (talk) 14:45, 16 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi IAWW, unfortunately no, I don't speak Japanese. That's one of the problems with what I'm doing here. To compensate, I rely heavily on Deepl or on Japanese speakers on the various Discord servers I frequent. However, you can send me the link to the GA review you're doing, and I can try to help. - OtharLuin (talk) 10:17, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, thanks for responding. The review is Talk:Yūichirō Miura/GA1. I haven't finished the prose review yet, but if you have any comments on the sources feel absolutely free to weigh in. IAWW (talk) 10:49, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
