Welcome!

Hello, Lilyguralnik, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Notes

Hi! I wanted to drop a couple of quick notes:

• Make sure that everything you add is sourced to reliable sources.

• The claim about Tyler Wallace's video being responsible for the brand's surge in popularity isn't backed up in the source. It says that the video is popular and has a "robust social media presence", then lists the YouTube video as an example. The source can thus only be used to back up a claim about the video being an example of the brand's popularity in social media. We could maybe state that the video helped to popularize the brand, but that could be seen as stretching the claim in the source. What's needed here is a source that explicitly makes this claim. There's a really careful dance that needs to be made around claims like this, however, so the source would need to be fairly reliable and it would be best to have more than one source that states this.

I did some digging and it looks like it definitely contributed to the brand's popularity via a meme (at least as far as what's stated in places Wikipedia would see as reliable), so we can at least have that. Something else I noted was that there was a Natty Light commercial that was launched as a response to the meme, so that could be mentioned in the article.

I hope that this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:01, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
