because you said it was not "notable". In actuality, this movie is very notable. It was a notable independent film and of great pride to the people of New Britain. You see, this city does contribute a lot of art, but never has a movie been conceptualized, filmed, edited, and produced within this city. The premiere was a big deal and was very notable. I saw that on Misplaced Pages there was not much about New Britain except its own article and there was nothing on ] except a stub.

Which I find very odd, since New Britain is an important city in Connecticut's history. So I created that article. You wanted sources so I have put the article back up this time with links at the bottom to its trailer, teaser, and official Myspace page. {{unsigned|Hardhittin'06}}

I noticed you dealing with the first of this pair &mdash; I'm suspicious about a possible connection between the two (possibly socks). Hpsander has "Wikipedians who like being thug" as a category on their page, in addition to the category "Wikipedians who hate being played like a sucker", which was also added to the userpage of Thugman123 by ] (see ]), which also raises the possibility of a connection there. The only three members of that category are Thugman123 (now removed), Frank Anchor, and Hpsander456. Also, Thugman123 and Hpsander456 seem similar in that their nicks end in the sequence of digits (123/456) and both have bizarre editing habits, with each having edits flippantly proclaiming their love of bagels and cake, respectively. I'm not sure what to do to officially raise the possibility of their being socks, and I'm also aware that sockpuppets are allowed so long as they aren't abused, so I don't want to do anything.

Reminder to participate in Misplaced Pages research

Hello,

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Misplaced Pages. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.

Take the survey here.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
