AC/DC[edit]

Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Recent contested move reverted. JHunterJ (talk) 17:13, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bon Appétit (magazine) → Bon Appétit — (and Bon Appétit to Bon Appétit (disambiguation)) The magazine article was moved without discussion, and I believe it should be returned to the plain title as the primary topic for this term. It is far better known than the other three topics listed on the disambiguation page, receives far more traffic than those articles put together (even though two were/are available through a hatnote on this article), and the overwhelming majority of the incoming links for Bon Appétit are for the magazine. --ShelfSkewed Talk 05:22, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Requested move 2[edit]

There is a proposal to move this article at Talk:Bon Appétit (disambiguation)#Requested move. Please discuss at that page. Station1 (talk) 23:15, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Main image change?[edit]

Is it possible to update this photo? The magazine looks completely different today. Sailingfanblues (talk) 18:12, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Per the above, I scanned/uploaded a new cover and then replaced the 1981 one. Sailingfanblues (talk) 20:34, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Youtube channel?[edit]

Should this article not mention the Bon Appetit youtube channel? It's getting pretty big with 1,7 million subscribers and series like Pastry chef attemps to make gourmet... and It's Alive with Brad are getting hundreds of thousands or even millions of views. I'm not sure how to add it myself though honestly as normally I'd look at other similar situations on wikipedia and see how they did it, but I'm not sure there's ever been a magazine with a succesful youtube channel. Any advice is welcome or if anyone would like to add it themselves! Romeowth (talk) 12:26, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As of today (2019-05-27), the YouTube channel has over 3.8 million subscribers and over 500 million total views according to SocialBlade. The magazine's website also seems relevant, with an estimated 9.5 million visits in April 2019 according to SimilarWeb. Desoja (talk) 15:47, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have started the Youtube channel section, feel free to expand on it! Cerebral726 (talk) 14:41, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Associated Acts[edit]

Should the following people/groups be added to associated acts? Macktheknifeau has been arguing they are not associated acts, so I would like to reach a consensus. Here is my compilation of collaborations and appearances. All these people had made multiple appearances on Bon Appetit's Youtube channel, and most have had BA members on their channel.

Binging with Babish: [1][2][3][4]. Additionally, the former cameraman/sidekick of "It's Alive", Vincent Cross, is a member of Binging with Babish.
First We Feast:[5] [6][7][8][9]
Matty Matheson: [10][11][12]
Elias Cairo: [13][14][15]

Cerebral726 (talk) 15:59, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally pinging Morgan695 who has done a lot of article creation on Bon Appétit personalities. Cerebral726 (talk) 16:07, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be appropriate for cases where there have been multiple appearances and cross-appearances (i.e., BA personalities have appeared on First We Feast multiple times, and First We Feast personalities have appeared on BA multiple times). In cases where the person has simply made a guest appearance or even multiple guest appearances, (for example, Miz Cracker), I wouldn't include them. Morgan695 (talk) 16:16, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Backing up what you said, I've been digging around for some sort of policy on what should be put under "associated acts" but Template:Infobox YouTube personality does not define the requirements. The best I could find is the description given for Template:Infobox musical artist.:

This field is for professional relationships with other musicians or bands that are significant and notable to this artist's career. This field can include, for example, any of the following: Acts with which this act has collaborated on multiple occasions, or on an album, or toured with as a single collaboration act playing together

I believe the 4 mentioned above (especially First We Feast and BwB) are the closest possible equivalent of the description given (collaborated on multiple occasions), significantly more so than any of the people who have appeared only once on the channel such as Natalie Portman or Markiplier. Cerebral726 (talk) 16:24, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Guest appearances, cameos or off-screen technicians moving between otherwise un-connected channels does not make an "associated act". An associated act in my mind is one that has a direct connection between the main on-camera talent on both channels or common ownership (eg, GQ's youtube channel might be considered "associated" since BA & GQ are owned by Conde Nast & Adam Rapoport was/is an on-screen talent on both channels). "Associated" implies a connection beyond merely appearing on the channel. It may be better to leave such collaborations & guest appearances (eg Gordon Ramsey, Jacques Pepin doing half a dozen videos, and the other youtubers listed above) to a specific paragraph in the body of the article rather then attempt to directly associate them in the infobox. Without a direct connection it will end up with a gigantic list of anyone who has their own wikipedia page being added as an "associated act" or leaving "associated acts" as an incomplete & arbitrary list of whatever guest appearances editors like enough to include. Macktheknifeau (talk) 02:51, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

While I don't necessarily agree that "associated act" has such a (what I consider) narrow definition, I agree that the associated acts I mention would be better served by a a paragraph in the body of the article, as it is significantly less vague and open to interpretation. I've gone ahead and added that paragraph, and left the associated acts just for now in case you, Morgan695, or anyone else has any further objections to removing them altogether.

Rapoport Racism controversy[edit]

How granular should these new details go? Obviously the big June 8-10 events are worth covering such as the pay disparity and treatment of POC employees, but is Alex Delaney's history relevant enough to include? Correct me if I'm off base here as I'm relatively new.Triscuitdau (talk) 22:31, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For now, I have removed the content on Alex. I believe going into incidents involving individual staffers is a rabbit hole we don't want to go down quite yet, at least in the Bon Appetit article. If Delany gets an article of his own, it will obviously be included, but to keep the section from ballooning, I propose we keep it to a brief summary of the toxic environment that has been exposed, members of the company who resign or are ousted, and statements from the company.

Lead image (2022)[edit]

Considering contextual significance, I thought about replacing the April 2019 issue with the October 2006 (50th Anniversary) issue cover. Then I thought about opting for the no-cover option unless anyone here opposes it. --George Ho (talk) 22:42, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
