DYK for Religion in South Ossetia
On 9 April 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Religion in South Ossetia, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the capital of South Ossetia once had more Jews than Ossetians? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Religion in South Ossetia. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Religion in South Ossetia), 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.
