Outstanding American by Choice
User:Gerda Arendt, User:Yoninah, User:Cwmhiraeth: I don't want to be accused of spreading American propaganda [this is a joke] on our international website, but I created Outstanding American by Choice a while back and I think it could be interesting to a "wide audience." I was wondering what it would take to turn it into a successful DYK. Would I need to add more referenced content to the paragraph at the top? Or flesh out the bios of each recipient?Zigzig20s (talk) 14:44, 20 July 2018 (UTC)


 * As you know, you will need about twice as much prose as you currently have (lists don't count), and every item sourced. Shouldn't be too hard, expanding example bios in the lead. Women Disobey ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:51, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
 * As far as I can see, it was created on June 21st so would not qualify under the newness rule. It is currently 753 B in length, and that would have to be expanded fivefold for it to qualify under the expansion rule. Only the current lead paragraph is counted for this purpose as bullet points don't count. It's up to you whether you think this achievable. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:42, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Re "interesting to a broad audience"—this is referring to the hook, not the article. Catchy hooks are what you're aiming for. Yoninah (talk) 18:43, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
 * User:Yoninah: Good point. I think I would highlight their diversity of origin and occupation in the hook, and the fact that for some reason, they were able to get visas/green cards, remain in the US and become citizens. None of them were/are gay though. Zigzig20s (talk) 14:54, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Workplace bullying in academia
I would like to expand Workplace bullying in academia, ideally with more content from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBT studies.Zigzig20s (talk) 02:10, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
 * We could add a subsection about homophobic/lesbophobic/biphobic/transphobic workplace bullying in academia. For example, if homophobic professors harass/bully another professor because they are LGBTQ. I have only found these RS so far:


 * This is related to the It Gets Better Project but somewhat different. The It Gets Better project focuses on students, not professors. The lines may be blurred in the case of graduate student instructors, e.g. if homophobic professors harass and torment an LGBTQ GSI.Zigzig20s (talk) 19:25, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

David Burritt's Wikipedia article
Hello Zigzig20s, I noticed you worked on the David Burritt's Wikipedia article. I also saw a few minor details on the article that could use updates. Would you be open to taking a look at a few improvements suggested on the talk page? I do have a COI with David Burritt, so I won’t edit the article, but I want to be helpful to improve the article further.--Chefmikesf (talk) 19:45, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Cather work
I see you in the history of a lot of Willa Cather-related articles (novels, stories)... I am very appreciative. One of the articles I created about her short story, The Best Years (story), was on DYK and got the Cather article to get something like 5x its usual daily pageviews ... and there's at least one more DYK in the queue, Hard Punishments. And I wanted to say before but forgot - I pass by Mueller Tower almost every day, so seeing you nominate it for DYK was very cool. With thanks, Urve (talk) 05:04, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
