DYK for Ortez Alderson[edit]

On 22 January 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ortez Alderson, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the cremated remains of AIDS activist Ortez Alderson were thrown onto the South Lawn of the White House in the ACT UP Ashes Action of 1992? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ortez Alderson. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Ortez Alderson), 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.
