- Comment: In May 2022, this began life as my second-ever page creation at AFC (arriving just a day after my work on the Carib Theatre, a venerable landmark of Kingston, Jamaica). Sadly, due to space limitations on my old Galaxy Tab, and lack of time/commitments, the traction trailed off and G13 took hold. Fast forward to late June two years later, when I requested it back after beginning to revive my fortunes at this project. (There's a reason I set up that certain queue to begin with.) After a days-long expansion stint with The Book of Virtues (itself a DYK candidate at this writing), I decided to fulfill my article-ETA and last-DYKN-before-end-of-August promises--and here we finally are. (Despite me coming down with a cold a couple of days before this writing [due to spending so many hours awake], and still feeling the effects as I type here.)
- To say this topic's title sounds highly reminiscent of the Bell Dramatic Serial soaps...but that's besides the point here.
- For those keeping track on XTools (at least for the next couple of hours), this nomination officially marks my 20,000th edit on the English Wikipedia--14 years after my last milestone. (Helped a lot--and then some--by my ongoing backlog-clearance drive of AFC's unassessed list, whose near-conclusion my pitch also coincides with.) Many thanks to those I've met on this edition ever since February 2005--whether they're still editing or not.
- Seriously, WP needs more coverage on audiovisual media from the Commonwealth Caribbean--and we've only just started by now. A special shout-out to Trinidadian stalwart Guettarda (talk · contribs · count), and CaribDigita (talk · contribs · count) of Barbados; as an occasional reminder, I'm a Commonwealth of Dominica expatriate. Guettarda's recent essay, "Decolonizing Wikipedia" (which I discovered several hours before press time), is recommended reading for future Caribbean-based editors. Here's hoping more from my own native homeland take up the mantle from here.
- As always, stay tuned for several more candidates of mine in the months to come. Take care--and I'll see you back!
- P.S. Reddit's loss had better be this community's gain--and I know it as a veteran of both platforms. (It'll be Digg all over again when reports of the userbase's vitriol this week over an extremely loathed, uncalled-for UI revamp hit the wires of The New York Times et al....if they ever do--and they should.)

Overall: Looks mostly good. Have to AGF on the paywalled source. As for the hook, the article seems a bit unclear: the hook says one of the first two in Trinidad, but all I see in the prose of the article is 1970's The Right and the Wrong and The Caribbean Fox, both directed by Harbance Kumar, were the first English-speaking films to be produced natively in the West Indies.
Could you clarify in the article that it is one of the first two Trinidad films if that is the case? Also, would it be better to say it is one of the first two films produced in Trinidad, rather than by Trinidad? BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:17, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
