Your help desk response

You linked to two different pages, where one seemed to have the same content as the other, though the second one was a red link. Could you look here to see if the redirect I created is what you intended to link to?— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 19:59, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Good pick

Sometimes, we all pick somebody who really has a stellar future. This bio that you started is one of those. Well done! Schwede66 20:04, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, one of 4 medallists (so far) that I created articles for. But that one definitely has the most views. Joseph2302 (talk) 07:59, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
Schwede66 looks like she got 528k views in one day on the day she won a medal last week. Crazy. First time an article I've created has been in the top 25 most viewed articles in the week (it was 14th most viewed article last week). Joseph2302 (talk) 10:57, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
Wow. Quite an achievement for a 13 year old to win an Olympic medal. Good pick of yours! Schwede66 18:18, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
