Today's TFA, Felix M. Warburg House, was written by Vami_IV and Epicgenius, introduced: "This article is about another of the great houses that once lined Fifth Avenue in New York. Specifically, this is the mansion of Felix M. Warburg, a Jewish financier who ignored fears of anti-Semitic reprisal to his decided to build himself a big Gothic manor in the middle of New York City. Although the Warburgs no longer remain, their legacy does: the museum is now the home of the Jewish Museum (Manhattan) and the building largely survives as they left it. It's a beautiful building and I hope you will all enjoy it."! - in memory -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:41, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- IIRC someone tried getting this on the Main Page on Vami's birthday, but unfortunately it was already booked. Missing him loads. Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI (talk to me!/my edits) 16:32, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- I believe it was good as it was, and only few would be aware of the connection. My stories are on birthdays a lot, but today's is just on the 5th virthday of the DYK. The recent pics of places show 2 orange tip butterflies. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:29, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- Today's story mentions a concert I loved to hear and a piece I loved to sing in choir, 150 years old OTD. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:53, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Myanmar article[edit]
The DYK nominator of Yazathingyan (14th-century minister) hasn't edited in a while, and a question about the correct name that should be used to refer to the subject was brought up at Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Queue 5. I saw your post on the Myanmar Wikiproject talk page so I thought that you might know the answer or know an editor who does. Thanks in advance either way. SL93 (talk) 20:27, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- @SL93: I've commented, but I'm not well-versed in Myanmar-related issues, sorry. I don't really know much about the Wikiproject itself either, but I note that Htanaungg may be well-versed in this issue.
- @Htanaungg: Can you help out in the discussion linked above? Kind regards, Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI (talk to me!/my edits) 07:34, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
