Quick question about piping
[edit]Looking at the other McQueen articles, the local norm for piping Alexander McQueen (brand) in the leads is "his eponymous [[Alexander McQueen (brand)|fashion house]]". However, I'm worried this has an WP:EASTEREGG effect, as I clicked on "fashion house" expecting to go to an article on fashion houses more generally. A possible solution is " [[Alexander McQueen (brand)|his eponymous fashion house]]". I get this is an extremely minor matter to make a discussion section about, but considering this specific pipe is on a few FAs that PMC has worked extremely hard on, I didn't want to go and make a change without at least mentioning it first. ~ Pbritti (talk) 01:10, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- I was doing "eponymous fashion house" for awhile, but it occasionally gets changed at FA because people don't like it no matter which way it's done. If you wanna make them all consistent to "eponymous fashion house", I'm fine with that. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 01:29, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Ah, I had a feeling it was an FAC thing. Thanks for the explanation! Great article, might drop in to lend my two cents if/when it stands at FAC. ~ Pbritti (talk) 04:41, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oop, I misspoke, I meant to say TFA. People make changes to things like that without trying to be consistent with the rest of the series so I wind up with this goofy blend of whatever someone did last. Maybe when the whole set is done I'll go back and do one thing, lol. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 06:34, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Name of collection
[edit]"Horn of Plenty" seems like a fairly transparent reference to the cornucopia, a classical symbol of wealth and abundance. Does this need a citation or could it be added under BLUESKY? Orchastrattor (talk) 05:37, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- It's actually named for the pub where Jack the Ripper's last victim was seen drinking before her death. None of the sources mention any allusion to the cornucopia, so I would consider mentioning it to be original research. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 06:32, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
