Work stops at sunset. Darkness falls over the building site. The sky is filled with stars. "There is the blueprint," they say.

On 5 August 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Aniya Holder, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Aniya Holder secured a spot at the 2024 Summer Olympics by winning a speed climbing competition, for which she had started training without even knowing that it was an Olympics qualifier? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Aniya Holder. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Aniya Holder), 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. ~ theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 00:04, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Another styletip ...

Ampersand

The ampersand (&) substitutes for the word and. In normal text, and should be used instead: January 1 and 2, not January 1 & 2. Retain ampersands in titles of works or organizations, such as The Tom & Jerry Show or AT&T. Ampersands may be used with consistency and discretion in tables, infoboxes, and similar contexts where space is limited.
