A fact from Brad Olsen appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 30 September 2023 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that as a child, New Zealand economist Brad Olsen would write notes about stock market trends while watching the evening news?

Overall: Appears to meet all the criteria. Hook is interesting (note that I removed "the" from the part "that as a child, the New Zealand economist Brad Olson..."). BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:50, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In the sententence about the Problem solving competition in America the sub-sentance "... who won." does not explain anything. Was it his team that won? Or did America win?
The "who" is referring to the team Olsen took part in. It could be made more clear, but I'm not sure how myself. —Panamitsu(talk) 07:49, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That did confuse me initially before I realized it was a reference to his team. I've changed it to "; his team won". Heavy Water (talk • contribs) 22:46, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
