It's hopefully a good sign that the subject-matter expert seems inclined to click through. 1brianm7 (talk) 01:14, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

Hey 1brianm7, I just wanted to check in and see how you were doing as that was quite a passionate response you made at WT:DYK earlier. I stand with you that what happened at DYK today should not have happened. I'm thankful I noticed it when I did because if it wasn't for the fact that I am also a fan of Kiara then I probably wouldn't have. I hope you didn't mind what I said in my beginning statement about me wanting to nominate the article in the future. It wasn't my intention to steal this from you.

For context, a couple of months ago, I was working on a Kiara article too and got a decent ways through it in a userpage of mine. However, because I have other priorities (on-site and IRL) and also one of the interviews of hers I couldn't get a hold of to read, I ended up losing steam on the article and went onto do other things, with the hope of being able to revive it in the future. I did have my own DYK hook in mind too. I was a bit disappointed someone got to it before I did but I was still thankful she got one at all and was written by someone who cared to make one for her in the first place. (I also planned on making a Korone article but I haven't started that yet.) I still do plan to do a revamp of Kiara at some point as well. That being said, I hope you are doing well and maybe we can hopefully work on vtuber projects together in the future. All the best, CaptainGalaxy 21:49, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the kind words. None of my anger is directed at you. I would be very willing to work on a Vtuber project with you at some point in the future. Sorry for grabbing it (somebody doing that with an article of mine is a huge fear, though that is luckily much less likely for a random member of the California Senate who died in 1908).

I would say more but I am really stressed out right now about this whole thing and am probably going to shut off of wiki for the day. Thank you 1brianm7 (talk) 22:11, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello again, 1brianm7. I hope you are feeling better today. I saw you have re-opened the Kiara DYK and was wondering if I could add an ALT hook with your permission? Even if the re-nomination gets shot down, I would like to at least help you in your case. All the best, CaptainGalaxy 21:32, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

Thank you. That would be completely fine with me. I remembered after reopening the nom that you had mentioned you had hook ideas and intended to send a talk page message, but I forgot. Cheers. 1brianm7 (talk) 21:46, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for the permission, I have gone ahead and added the hook. In addition I have improved the section that involved the hook on the article from the draft I made. Hope you like it, CaptainGalaxy 21:58, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

Great article and hook! ~Darth Stabro^{Talk • Contribs} 15:07, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you! 1brianm7 (talk) 18:49, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

One of the best stories I've seen at DYK in a while, in my opinion (probably because I also put way too much effort into finding information on one- or two-game sportspeople, although not anywhere near as much effort as that guy did). Thanks for writing it. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:28, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you! In the past, I've spent a few months trying to find info on obscure persons, and the satisfaction I felt after finding a drawing of a person made 25 years before their first photo was immense. I can't imagine how it feels after 30 years. 1brianm7 (talk) 23:52, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

Great job on the hook and article! It really did draw me in to reading the article :) RossEvans19 (talk) 16:01, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
