Looking for thoughts

I am working on User:SL93/Iowa's Best Burger contest for DYK was I wondering if any of what I have so far sounds promotional. I haven't been to any of the restaurants listed, and I don't want to add anything that could come across as promoting them. I came across the subject in a book that has a chapter dedicated to it. SL93 (talk) 03:41, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

@SL93: Hey! The "Winners" section strikes me as slightly promotional. Perhaps it could be condensed to a simple table? On a broader note, at some point I should really get around to writing Wikipedia:Cobbled sources make cobbled articles. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 04:38, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

I meant to do a table, but I’m not sure how to do it. SL93 (talk) 04:42, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you today for Capri-Sun, written together, introduced: "Capri-Sun debuted in West Germany in 1969. Since then, it has become a global brand, one made distinctive by its stand-up Doy-N-Pack pouch. Growing up, you could find a Capri-Sun in the lunchbox of that kid you hated. These days you can find them center-stage in French hip-hop culture as "the new ostentatious elixir of French rappers and gangsters". In the United States, Capri Sun is associated with wholesome things like picnics, soccer practice, and having for 16 years been licensed to one of the world's largest tobacco companies, which applied its expertise at both selling products to children and misleading the public about products' health effects, in a marketing strategy so effective that you're probably still thinking about that kid from two sentences ago. Childhood consumption of sugary beverages increased, and so did childhood obesity, but admittedly Pacific Cooler does taste great. - Initially, Tamzin and I thought this was gonna be a quick adventure – we thought we'd quickly flip a good number of soft drink articles, maybe even get a good topic. Capri-Sun quickly proved to be no insignificant task, though – it's the longest article either of us can put our names on, with every word of prose written from scratch. To our knowledge, this is the most comprehensive independent work on Capri-Sun in existence. We got it to GA in early 2023 after a couple months' work, making it one of two GAs on a soft drink and the only one on a juice beverage. Then, it just sat for a while. But after dusting off the ol' thing and giving it the last few bits it was missing, it is with much pride and added sugar that we finally push this towards the finish line. :)"! - June thanks for improving article quality ;) -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:28, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

I am sorry about no qpq for Katja Paryla. I had company for days, was out all day yesterday, and when I returned had to look for more sources to not let Jodie Devos without RD notice and worked until exhausted. I am happy it was sufficient. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:33, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

		I stated in the discussion below the vote that I felt quite bad for whichever poor admin got tasked with closing the ADL RfC - props for being one of the ones to do so! The Kip (contribs) 21:39, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

JuniperChills DYK work

Hi theleekycauldron, what do you think of my DYK nominations and reviews located at User:JuniperChill/DYK work. As I only have 1000 edits and started editing on Dec 2023, this may be fun to see. I also note that you introduced me to DYK after reading your RfA (also stated at my DYK page). My DYK work is definitely interesting for a few reasons I can think of at that page.

DYK for Fedorenko v. United States

On 28 June 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Fedorenko v. United States, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a man was denaturalized and deported from the United States for working at a Nazi death camp, despite the courts never holding that he did it willingly? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Fedorenko v. United States. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Fedorenko v. United States), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.

		Hook update
