  "No one knows if a bird in flight has an egg in its stomach." African proverb

I have always loved that proverb and I am sure it has many meanings. I hope it has some meaning for you.

Hello, and welcome to the July DYK wrap up. Our DYK warrior Leeky, has taken some personal R&R so it falls on others to pick up slack. It fell on me to do the wrap! Thank you all for being good to one another and for encouraging participants... and for tweaking, reviewing, proposing, discussing, fussing ...well - you get the idea. I went back and looked at all number one hooks of each month this year. The sum total of all views on every number one hook from January to June 2022 was 252,306. July's hook got an eye popping 287,463 views! Our best performing hooks of July:

Flying Ballon Girl on the West Bank wall (18,583 views in 24 hours)

I just like this West Bank Wall graffiti art article for the hopeful beautiful image.

  • And, a shout out... on only their second hook, ArcticSeeress had a July top 10 hook!
  • ... that a Florida resident was arrested after posting on RateMyCop.com? by ArcticSeeress and reviewed by Urve 12,802 views in 12 hours

Thank you BlueMoonset for helping us find the hooks that need attention. You are also on point at all times. @Narutolovehinata5, Kusma, EEng, Schwede66, Amakuru, SL93, Z1720, Gerda Arendt, Mandarax, Theleekycauldron, Wugapodes, Maile66, Maury Markowitz, Gatoclass, Sammi Brie, and TSventon: all kept our little corner of the front page working. We all missed Leeky for a few weeks and I thought of them when I saw some hand wringing over the lack of prep builders. Luckily Z1720 was available to help! Thanks to Valereee for providing helpful guidance in these endeavors. I have been proud to work with this fine group of editors, and I am energized by the thought of us helping one another and making learning fun! In DYK we forgive mistakes easily and we pitch in when work backs up. DYK may be the most accessible section of the front page and it is because of you.

Thank you all so much for your hard work and attention to detail! And of course, I need Leeky to show me how to add this to the wrapped section. Grrr. "You're killin' me, Smalls!" Bruxton (talk) 03:13, 2 August 2022 (UTC) Bruxton (talk) 03:13, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
