DYK for Eastern shovelnose ray

On 15 July 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Eastern shovelnose ray, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Latin meaning of rostrata is 'beaked', suggesting that the eastern shovelnose ray was named after its triangular snout? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/eastern shovelnose ray. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Eastern shovelnose ray), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

Lovely work, Belle! - Sharing the Main page with Bill Lovelady and Esther. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:49, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

It's not mine though. Random. Belle (talk) 22:38, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Not entirely random, you made 6 or 7 edits on the 7 July. Its not a great deal, but its those small edits that improve our articles. I think that people who help should be credited too. So sorry if you feel unworthy (I saw your edit at @SL93:), feel free to delete it if it concerns you. Victuallers (talk) 08:09, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. It was just unexpected so my first thought was "mistake" naturally; "Never attribute to kindness what can be explained by error" – Cynical Belle's Stupid Aphorisms #248 Belle (talk) 08:24, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

More music: 2 songs, the morning song - about rising from being down, in more than one sense - is a GA, - there should be more given my initials, but I also want to care for articles of those who recently died (now Esther Béjarano), and psalms in memory of Yoninah, - more missing than there. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:32, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Did you know that Vivaldi composed cello sonatas? I didn't until I took the pic. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:27, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
