- In June 2011, I made my first DYK nomination for an article (Herlinatiens).
DYK for Herlinatiens
On 6 July 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Herlinatiens, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Herlinatiens' first novel about lesbian relationships is considered the "coming out" for Indonesian writings about gays and lesbians? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
