DYK nomination[edit]

Hi Alant1337, because you created the David Showell article, I listed you as one of the authors this DYK nomination: Template:Did you know nominations/The 1949 Sun Bowl Controversy, David Showell. I could only add a couple other editors because only a limited number could be listed. Cheers, I am One of Many (talk) 23:47, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for 1949 Sun Bowl controversy[edit]

On 22 May 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 1949 Sun Bowl controversy, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Sun Bowl Committee's decision to exclude David Showell from playing in the 1949 Sun Bowl based on his race led to demonstrations at Lafayette College against segregation? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), 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.
