User talk:Cplakidas

Welcome to my talk page. Please adhere to the talk page guidelines and particularly the following:

Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page.
Please sign and date your entry by inserting "~~~~" at the end.
Please specify a descriptive "Subject/headline" for a new topic and separate subtopics by ===heading=== lines, if needed.
Please indent your posts with one more ":" than what you are replying to, i.e. begin with ":" if replying to an existing topic and "::" if replying to a reply.

I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or specifically let me know where you'd prefer the reply.

This user is busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries.

DYK for Hannibal von Degenfeld

On 9 August 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hannibal von Degenfeld, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Hannibal von Degenfeld (pictured) played the leading role in establishing the Bavarian Army in 1682, before leading it to the Battle of Vienna a year later? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hannibal von Degenfeld. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Hannibal von Degenfeld), 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.

TFA

Thank you today for Al-Musta'li, "about the ninth Fatimid caliph, whose rise to the throne in 1094 was due to the machinations of the powerful vizier al-Afdal Shahanshah, and caused a major rift in the Isma'ili branch of Shi'a Islam. Al-Musta'li remained under the thumb of his vizier for the duration of his relatively short caliphate, and his reign is mostly a record of al-Afdal's actions. The article is a pendant to Nizar ibn al-Mustansir, al-Musta'li's elder brother, who was likely the legitimate successor." -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:22, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
