He was one of the first African-American chief petty officers in the U.S. Navy, becoming a chief gunner's mate on the cruiser Marblehead in 1917. He was transferred to the Fleet Reserve in 1919 and retired in 1925.

POTD Test Code

[edit]
  • TEST 01: The code {{POTD/{{#time:Y-m-d}}|image}} just displays the file name without a hyperlink:
    John Henry_Turpin,_Chief_Gunner's_Mate,_U.S._Navy,_circa_in_the_1940s_(NH_89471).jpg
  • TEST 02: This extended code (derived from TEST 01) does not work at all:
    {{POTD/{{#time:CURRENTYEAR-CURRENTMONTH-CURRENTDAY}}|image}}
  • TEST 03: The code within this template extracted from Wiki Commons does not work as planned within the English Wikipedia:
    {{picture of the day|year=2015|month=02|day=07}}
  • This is the Wikipedia code variant (displayed below):
    {{Pic of the day|date=2019-08-13}}

BMW S1000RR
The BMW S1000RR is a sport bike made by BMW Motorrad. It was introduced in 2008, initially for competition in the 2009 Superbike World Championship, and has been in commercial production since then. Powered by a 999 cc (61.0 cu in) four-cylinder engine, redlined at 14,200 rpm, it delivers 133.6 kW (179.2 hp; 181.6 PS) to the rear wheel, making it the most powerful motorcycle in the class. Rubén Xaus and Troy Corser rode the bike for its inaugural Superbike World Championship in 2009, gaining highest finishes of fifth and seventh respectively, but it achieved greater success in the 2010 FIM Superstock 1000 championship season, with rider Ayrton Badovini winning every single race but one on the S1000RR.Photograph credit: Stefan Krause

My first Wikipedia article

[edit]
  • Retrieved from User talk:Franz van Duns on 2023-12-03.
  • As I in the meantime have fulfilled a sufficient number of edits within Wikipedia I am now classed as "autoconfirmed", which entitles me to create articles myself without posting a request.
  • I surmise that I should continue to first create a "draft article", which, when enriched with sufficient content, I may then convert into a regular Wikipedia article.
Fujifilm GFX100 II, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.
