Fearless Girl inspirations
This past May, there was an article in Adweek. It was about a young woman named Jade Delaney, an aspiring copywriter and a University of Gloucestershire graduate. She showed up dressed as Fearless Girl outside of McCann Worldgroup for her dream job as she wanted to land an advertisement role. It all happened in Bristol. This last month, South Africa got their own version of Fearless Girl on the Sandton campus of First National Bank (South Africa). Shouldn't this be in the article about Fearless Girl?142.255.69.73 (talk) 03:56, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is the encyclopedia that anyone can edit, including you. By all means add this to the article (citing a reliable source) or discuss it on the article's talk page, though in my opinion this is a minor news story and only incidental to the Fearless Girl article.--Shantavira|feed me 13:57, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

Does this Sumerian god exist?
I've just declined a draft at Draft:Yehris. The article claims this is a Sumerian god -- is this true? It seems like it could be a hoax to me. Thanks. programming Geek (talk, contribs) 16:24, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I can't find anything on it that doesn't lead back to that draft. Someone tried to upload a photo for the article but it was a picture of Nergal. Ian.thomson (talk) 16:33, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
 * But User:ProgrammingGeek, there is a popular beat combo called Yehris, albeit not a very prolific one. One might suspect a publicity stunt perhaps. Alansplodge (talk) 10:05, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

List of noisiest cities
I'd like to create it, if it doesn't already exist.

Could anyone recommend good sources and a good name for the article?

Many thanks,

Never mind. It looks like sources just don't exist. Thanks anyhow. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:07, 9 December 2018 (UTC)


 * One study by Sintef, a Norwegian company, is reported here. It ranked the five noisiest as Guangzhou (China), Cairo, Paris, Beijing, and Delhi. I tried searching for the full study by Sintef, but didn't get any quick results. You might have better success by spending a bit more time. I did see some of the company's reports with charts and stuff that look pretty comprehensive, and there's no doubt anything you found by them would be RS. Akld guy (talk) 06:49, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
