  • Comment - I'll review this. Be right back shortly. Mabalu (talk)
      Length of article is sufficient at just under 1,700 characters. Tone is neutral and appropriate to Wikipedia, and I did not notice any copyvio. Sources are correctly cited, accepting the single cite to Colorado Springs in good faith as it is blocked outside of the USA, and everything else is appropriately cited so I have no reason to assume that the single cite I can't verify is suspect. I do have a concern that most of the sources are from 2018 and then a couple from 2022 - has there been no coverage in between? If that is the case, I can see people challenging this for notability and claiming it was a flash in the pan/practically single-event or at best, maybe claiming WP:TOOSOON (personally, I don't think it is too soon, but then I'm biased, being LGBTQ+ myself). Also, this needs to be linked to from other articles. Perhaps it can be added to a navbox or template such as Template:LGBT? The main issue for me before I accept it (and I would like to) is that notability may not be sufficiently demonstrated through the sources, so I would like to see some coverage of Wrath Month in between 2018 and 2022 to demonstrate that ongoing attention has been given. I also think maybe the hook could be a bit more in-your-face, perhaps even more "wrathful" to fit the theme, as both suggestions seem a little demure for what they're about.

    Thanks for the review, Mabalu! What I'll tell you is that the Colorado Springs Indy source is from 2020, and has a tone set around the Black Lives Matter Movement – as does this councilmember who got in hot water for declaring Wrath Month. Also, per WP:DYKSG#D6, orphaned articles are explicitly permitted, so I don't think we'll have a problem there. I think the notability looks solid enough – not as much post-2018 coverage as I would like, but it's there over the years. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/they) 21:18, 10 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
    Great! I thought being orphaned was a negative - the hatnote for it definitely makes being standalone seem like something *appalling* for an article to be. Good to know about the 2020 source, that makes me feel better about the breadth of coverage. I wonder if there is a snappier (literally) way to word the hook that combines overall neutrality while also helping illustrate why gay wrath would be a thing?

  • Sure thing!
  • Oh, and I should probably formally request a special occasion for this to run inside Wrath Month (usually thought to be July). theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/they) 21:52, 10 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
    Comment - Not sure about this, but here is my own attempt at a third hook. If anyone can do better, please do try. I think we need to make sure to mention LGBTQ for visibility, or that might well be yet another reason for Wrath Month! Also, yes, this should definitely go up during July.

Suggested additional content

edit

The article refers to the "observation" of this commemoration, but most of the actual content seems to be about debates about whether it does or should exist. The lede is particularly scant. While one section focuses on LGBTQ+ issues, the first couple of paragraphs seems to suggest that it is a celebration (?) of one of the seven deadly sins, which seems to suggest a Christian theological background. What are the actual observances? Do people participate in wrathful activities? Where in the world (or the internet) is it actually observed? Is it LGBTQ+ specific or is it a Christian (or anti-Christian) thing? Is there a parade? 49.255.223.3 (talk) 04:50, 22 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

It's not really a thing, you see. It's little more than a meme created by a few Twitter malcontents. There's really nothing to talk about other than its neologistic qualities as a meme. Frankly I'm not sure this could survive AFD, per GNG. Elizium23 (talk) 04:53, 22 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Indeed, the article should not have mentioned that, and unfortunately it was vandalized about 2/3 into its time on the Main Page. The erroneous claims were added by the above user. Vermont 🐿️ (talk) 21:05, 22 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Vermont, are you calling me a vandal? Elizium23 (talk) 21:15, 22 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
You edited this article to make it say it's an observed holiday (against the sources and content of the article) then AfD'd it on the basis that it isn't an observed holiday. You tried to create your own evidence for an AfD on a topic you seem to be biased on. As for whether it meets the specific definition of "vandalism" on this project, that can be discussed, but your edits to this article were clearly disruptive.

And yet you persist in accusing me of WP:DE, second-guessing my state of mind and knowledge, my motivations. Please retract your accusations, because this is all too personal, it is not WP:CIVIL, and you fail to WP:AGF. Elizium23 (talk) 00:18, 23 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Perhaps "vandalism" is a joke for you, to be ridiculed with tongue-in-cheek edit summaries with your collaborating editors, but no, vandalism does have a specific definition here. Perhaps you could study that along with WP:AGF. Elizium23 (talk) 00:21, 23 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Your edits were disruptive. That is not a comment on your character. It is not uncivil to inform someone that their edits were disruptive, especially when a legitimate rationale is provided, as I have done here. Vandalism is not a joke for me. Vermont 🐿️ (talk) 00:29, 23 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
