User:Dhtwiki, Does GOCE used T:AH anymore?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:05, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am just going to add it.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:02, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@TonyTheTiger: That's not a template that I've ever used, although I'm vaguely aware of its existence. Its alternative use was once suggested by people who felt our regular GOCE template was too verbose, garish, or intrusive (feelings since mollified somewhat by our trimming it considerably). I'm glad you've let our template stand, while adding a mention of the copy edit to the article history template, as I seek the former out when I return to pages on my watchlist when I'm unsure of my copy editing involvement.

Do the characters in the phrase "(pictured)" count toward the character limit?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:50, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would suggest not running this until at least February and maybe March or April since Campbell's Soup I ran in October and Campbell's Soup Cans II ran last week.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:07, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- There is a bit of controversy surrounding the better (unobstructed) image.

ALT 4 ... that Campbell Soup promoted a Campbell's Soup Cans themed dress that could be purchased for $1 in 1967?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:02, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Promoted to GA within 7 days of nomination. Good article about an important work, plenty long enough, neutral, and well-cited. Earwig bitches about potential copyright violations but flags only some long quotes that are necessary to establish necessary context over the work's provenance, so I'm choosing to ignore it. ALT2 is the most interesting of the bunch IMO; I have access to ProQuest and the fact checks out. ALT4 is technically incorrect as the dress required proof of purchase of two cans in addition to the $1. ALT0 and ALT1 should be struck; I think everyone and their grandmother associates Warhold with the cans at this point. I have also gone ahead and italicized all instances of Campbell's Soup Cans in the hooks, as it is the title of a creative work. DigitalIceAge (talk) 18:51, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
