User:HeartGlow30797, I have added a new date to the January 26th On this Day blurb, I would love for you to check it out.

On your Reward Board Bulletin, you stated that I should ping you upon completion. Usually, I would just use your talk, which would ping you, but from your Talk Page system and how you said it, I assumed you wanted to be pinged outside of that, was that a correct assumption? I am relatively new to Wikipedia Editing.
