DYK for Dirt Candy

On 6 March 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Dirt Candy, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Manhattan vegetarian restaurant Dirt Candy is "waging war on the 'eat your vegetables' mind-set"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Dirt Candy. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Dirt Candy), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

100% RT

The list isn't just films with a Critic Consensus though. It's films with that OR with 20 or more reviews. You can still have films with no Critic Consensus as long as they have 20 or more reviews, I believe. Only if a film has less than 20 reviews and no Critic Consensus will they not be added. I've been making sure the films I add are 20 or more reviews.

@KidsAndTheirGadgets: I know there was talk of number of reviews and critics' consensus as ways to restrict the list, but I do see that in this section, Talk:List_of_films_with_a_100%_rating_on_Rotten_Tomatoes#After_third_AfD, the top line/closing statement seems pretty unequivocal about the critics consensus being required (presumably because CC presumes some minimum number of reviews?). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 16:50, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

More Cambodian Rock Stuff

Hey, you might be interested in some more developments in our coverage of Cambodian rock. ------ Today I created the new article Drakkar (band). They're the hard rock group near the end of the story in Don't Think I've Forgotten. I decided to seek their tunes online and found that their long-lost 1974 album has been unearthed and rereleased, and the band has reformed for some concerts. That in turn inspired some news coverage that gave me material to create a WP article. Please check it out! ------ Also, I recently did a massive overhaul of the Sinn Sisamouth article, which had been an unsourced and unverifiable disaster for many years. I have grown fatigued from rereading my own work again and again, so the article might need a typo check if you're so inclined. Thanks! ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 22:07, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

DYK for Gowanus Batcave

On 1 April 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Gowanus Batcave, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after many years battling the forces of darkness, the Batcave became a popular venue for underground parties and concerts? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Gowanus Batcave. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Gowanus Batcave), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Survey Invite

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9S3JByWf57fXEkR?Q_DL=56np5HpEZWkMlr7_9S3JByWf57fXEkR_MLRP_6FOEwDKP5vjULLT&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 22:58, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

List of cryptids

If you're interested in this topic, please weigh in over at Wikipedia:Fringe_theories/Noticeboard#What_to_do_about_List_of_cryptids?. As I see it, this article has no scope, cannot be referenced with anything resembling a reliable source, and serves as nothing more than a magnet for fringe additions. I'd like to know if I'm somehow wrong. :bloodofox: (talk) 23:15, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

@Bloodofox: Done. Though not in the sense I think you're looking for. You sent this page to AfD. It was closed snow keep. You've been trying to remove the content for years, sometimes with pushback, and sometimes with consensus (or at least consent) -- and sometimes for very good reason -- but now you're claiming that because of a discussion on WP:FTN you have consensus to redirect it, without even posting so much as a notice on the article's talk page ... and then you edit war to restore that redirect??? That's just disruptive. Take it to the talk page. I don't see a point in getting into more subject-specific discussions anywhere else. — Rhododendrites talk \\

Invitation to join Women in Red

Thank you for creating several articles on women and their works over the past few weeks. We have become aware of your contributions thanks to research undertaken by Bobo.03 at the University of Minnesota.
We think you might be interested in becoming a member of our WikiProject Women in Red where we are actively trying to reduce Wikipedia's content gender gap.
You can join by using the box at the top of the WiR page. But if you would like to receive news of our activities without becoming a member, you can simply add your name to our mailing list. In any case, thank you for actively contributing to the coverage of women (currently, 17.55% of English Wikipedia's biographies).

Our priorities for April:

April+Further with Art+Feminism Archaeology Military history (contest) Geofocus: Indian subcontinent

Continuing: #1day1woman Global Initiative

List of YouTubers

The List of YouTubers is being nominated for deletion again. I don't know why. It's been nominated so many damn times. Take a look here. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 00:05, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

@Fishhead2100: Thanks. I commented on this since I would have anyway, being on my watchlist, but for the future you'll probably want to take care to word notices like this a bit more neutrally (otherwise those you leave messages for could have their opinions colored by WP:CANVAS). I.e. "The List of YouTubers is being nominated for deletion again. Leaving this message for you as you participated in the previous AfD." FWIW — Rhododendrites talk \\ 01:00, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
Fair enough. I usually do. Sometimes it gets the best of us. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 01:10, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
