Red carpet fashion in XXXX
Hey! I'm doing some organizing work on the red carpet fashion cats/navboxes, and I was wondering how you'd feel about moving the "red carpet fashion in XXXX" articles to "XXXX in red carpet fashion". This would standardize the naming along the lines of stuff like 2000 in literature and similar, and would allow for the use of premade navboxes like Year nav topic. Since you're the creator for most, I figured I would start by checking in with you rather than do a formal move request :) &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 14:35, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
 * On the same topic, I've completed the navbox merge to Red carpet fashion - can you take a look and see if you think it looks ok? I tried to condense the formatting a bit but still make it clear. I'm considering adding a little superscript marker to denote Oscars/Grammys/other notable events, but not sure if that's necessary or just more clutter. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 16:27, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Also, just looked at the template and I think it looks a bit cryptic/peculiar just having the colour and designer and wearer with almost none of these identified as being a dress. Even though I know what the articles are about, I still find it very confusing and jarring and unclear - and people who don't know will probably be like "What am I looking at here?". The template is a great idea, but I kinda preferred the original wording as it was clearer - even if it was wordier. Mabalu (talk) 23:08, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello PMC! That sounds very reasonable to me, and also makes me feel bad that I just dropped out of doing those articles - other things just demanded my attention more and then I got side tracked....! So yes, go for it. Mabalu (talk) 22:51, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I've done the moves and added the year navbox to make them more navigable. I also tweaked the wording on the template to add "dress" back to the links. Thoughts? &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 02:47, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Maybe try this format:
 * Red Versace dress (Cindy Crawford, 1991) * Black Versace dress (Elizabeth Hurley, 1994) * Lavender Prada dress (Uma Thurman, 1995) * Am-Ex Gold credit card dress (Lizzy Gardiner, 1995) and so on?
 * Just a suggestion. :) Mabalu (talk) 09:00, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, yeah, I really like that actually. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 09:17, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Nomination
I nominated an article that you started for Did you know on the Wikipedia main page at Template:Did you know nominations/Ouigi Theodore. SL93 (talk) 05:56, 19 May 2022 (UTC)


 * This makes me VERY happy! Thank you! I was thinking about it, especially after finding such a good photo of him on Flickr, but wasn't sure I had the spoons for it. Mabalu (talk) 11:16, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. It makes me happy that you're happy about it. When I nominate other's articles for DYK, I normally try to make it be one of the creator's first DYKs. SL93 (talk) 19:00, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
 * To be fair, it's been a long time since I took an article to DYK - I can't even recall what the last one was!! So I'm pretty much a born-again newbie to DYK.... Mabalu (talk) 19:18, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
 * blimey, it looks like it may have been Hotpants back in 2017. Kind of amazed by that, I know I took a Wikibreak for a while but didn't realise how long it had been. Mabalu (talk) 19:19, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
 * This is a great tool for seeing an editor's old DYK nominations. It shows Template:Did you know nominations/Thea Tewi as being the most recent. SL93 (talk) 19:25, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh yes, also in 2017. That was a good one. Great tool!! Mabalu (talk) 19:45, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
 * The hook will appear on the main page on June 4 Wikipedia time. The promoter didn't choose the image, but there are only limited spots for images. SL93 (talk) 22:25, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Awesome, thanks! I saw that, but it gets the fun hook slot at the end, which is still good. Thank you again. Mabalu (talk) 23:11, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I added a cropped image of it for the DYK nomination. SL93 (talk) 19:07, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
