 * Uh, spoilers spoilers spoilers, there are three character pages related to a certain VNA that could be linked on the day a certain episode from the new series airs. One beginning with J, one with H, and one with M. I hope this is both suitably oblique and yet is obvious to everyone who keeps up with rumors. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 06:59, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * [[Anime City]] / [[Crooked World]] stuff more generally. - September 15th, that's the anniversary of Undertale. (smh @ no DWU reference to Undertale) Easy to just go "Did you know in the DWU anime is real?". [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 01:34, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
+**smh, the entire point was Undertale. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:14, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * [[David Hilbert]] / maybe [[Hilberta's Hostel]] - January 23rd, Hilbert's Birthday. Might be the FP thing for the month, if you emphasize the latter article. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:54, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
 * [[Telenovela]] / [[Mexico City]] / [[Luchador]] / whatever Mexican culture stuff you can think of - May 5th, Cinco de Mayo. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 01:24, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
 * [[McAllister Park]] / [[HEB]] / [[Jim's]] - It'll be a year before this comes around again, but March 2nd, Texas Independence Day. (Or maybe another Texas relevant date if one is sooner, idk, I just googled.) All from an FP novel, sure. But there's aspects of every day life shown in the DWU even if you're not in Britain. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 01:24, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
 * [[President of the United States]] has a bunch of fun stuff and would be timely around 5 November 2024. [[User:WarDocFan12|WarDocFan12]] [[User talk:WarDocFan12|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:39, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
+* [[May Day]] - May 1st, duh. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 04:23, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
+* [[Iraq War]] - Also could work for May 1, as this was the day Bush held the infamous "Mission Accomplished" speech. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 04:23, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
+* [[Washington DC]] - May 3rd, when it was officially incorporated as a city. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 04:23, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
+* [[Nelson Mandela]] - May 10, when he was inaugurated president. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 04:23, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
+* [[Vietnam War]], maybe, it's a bit rough - (Sometime after a certain episode airs, minor spoilers to explain why.) While it hasn't yet been stated to be the case in the DWU, a little known fact is that during the First Battle of Saigon, in order to prevent a message from Ho Chi Minh from being broadcast over the radio, they played Beatles songs over it. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 06:01, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
+* [[Richard Nixon]] - August 9th, fiftieth anniversary of his resignation. Only POTUS to travel in the TARDIS, and probably the most detailed portrayal of all US presidents in the DWU. [[User:BlueSupergiant|BlueSupergiant]] [[User talk:BlueSupergiant|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 12:18, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
+* [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom]] - Similar to the POTUS link above. Whenever the next general election is called, or maybe for the local elections on May 2nd. [[User:BlueSupergiant|BlueSupergiant]] [[User talk:BlueSupergiant|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 12:18, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
+* [[Scarecrow]] - July 7th, Build a Scarecrow Day. [[User:66 Seconds|66 Seconds]] [[User talk:66 Seconds|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 13:08, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
+* [[Pirate]] / [[Henry Avery]] / [[Zheng Yi Sao]] / [[The Captain]] - September 19th, International Talk Like a Pirate Day, so something pirate related. [[User:66 Seconds|66 Seconds]] [[User talk:66 Seconds|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 13:08, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
+* [[Blackpool Tower]] - May 14th. The date the Blackpool Tower first opened to the public in 1894. This year will be the 130th anniversary. A ''Doctor Who'' fact could be that it had a blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearance in ''Blink'', where it appeared on the postcard used for the Timey-Wimey Detector. [[User:66 Seconds|66 Seconds]] [[User talk:66 Seconds|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 13:08, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
+* [[Stonehenge]] - June 20th, date of the summer solstice. Stonehenge was built to align with the sun on the solstices. [[User:66 Seconds|66 Seconds]] [[User talk:66 Seconds|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 13:08, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
+* [[Sonic the Hedgehog (franchise)]] - Out of all the pages I've ever made, this is the only one I'd go as far to call a real passion project. Potential dates include Sonic's anniversary (June 23rd), the release of the third Sonic movie (December 20th), or whatever the release date of ''Sonic X Shadow Generations'' ends up being.

 * [[Aztec calendar]] - For my sins. Maybe a little too Faction Paradox-y, but you can reconstruct almost all of the Aztec Calendar from IU sources. And I did my best to do so. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:24, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * [[Observer Effect]], though von Neumann Wigner is very very fringe as an actual interpretation of QM. Almost maybe [[Mentor (unproduced novel)]]. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:28, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

+* [[Sooty]] might be something, idk. People can feel free to remove this and the last one, they're not pages I'm involved with in any way, but they seemed to be hits when we tried them out this week. iykyk.

+Does the page always have to be in-universe, or are out-of-universe pages eligible too? [[User:WaltK|WaltK]] [[User talk:WaltK|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 16:48, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

+Okay, a few months later, I didn't really maintain this forum's side of things at all. The enthusiasm here is appreciated, and I apologize that it has not always been followed. In the end, the posts have mostly just been me shooting from the hip and doing whatever, cuz its not really a serious job. Haven't been overthinking it, or really thinking it much at all. The website's frankly silly, and its the simple stuff that does well.
+The twitter recently crossed 1,000 followers, about double what it had when I started, and this feels like a good place for me to step off (especially since it was Skaro New Year a couple days ago). It was a game, and I feel like [[Super Mario]] <s>figuring out what's going on and deleting himself from the game because he's sick of dying</s><!--- This is just an Extremis joke, not a statement on mental health.---> getting to a castle and deciding that's a good enough place to quit. It's been educational for me in the ways of social media, and I think I've helped the wider promotion of this site such that the socials are in a healthy place for however they'll continue. I was not elected, just sorta wormed my way in, so I dunno, maybe there's some other interested worm out there. In the end, daily socials aren't the most important cuz we're all doing this for fun.

+:Thank you for the work you've put into the account! It has grown massively and you've done a much better job than I was doing beforehand. If anybody else (that is a trustworthy editor) wants to take over, let me know and I can give you the login credentials (I will need a way to contact you off-wiki).
