Thank you! This is a slow learning process for me, apologies for my missteps so far, as I'm nearly sure that I've made some. Will dig more for how to do this correctly. Basically just trying to create a page for "Christploitation" b/c that genre name is just spot on, in that it is exploitation content. Though I do not support the producer's views, in full transparency, I (and many others simply needing work) have indeed worked on "Unplanned," so I'm not rightly sure I Should be doing this page creation. Perhaps it's best to leave it up to you the group to make that happen. But within the field, I have not see this genre name used, so is was exciting to read. I think the genre name, if more broadly used, best informs audiences of what they're going in for. Lrayd (talk) 21:18, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Hey Lyrad, this is home! Long before you hopped in, we've made mistakes too. You might be having something we call Conflict of Interest while trying to "create a page for Christploitation". Though it's spot on to you, Wikipedia has a set Notabitity guidelines that the subject has not met. Till then, keep doing so much more like edit, copy edit, categorize images and a lot more. I could also adopt you if you'll want me to. <winks> Danidamiobi (talk) 22:09, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

I'd gladly take the guidance! The roulette 'do you know this?' thing that showed up on the get-started-editing page is interesting, though I have no idea if I'd be of any help. Where did you fall in, or do you have recommendations?

Thanks very much also for the relevant guidelines, that's very helpful. Lrayd (talk) 22:29, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

I think I *may* have made some article descriptions. Not sure, though, seem to be slow to show in # of contributions, is that an approval thing? Lrayd (talk) 22:58, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
