Hey Rhain, hate to bother you...

... since it's been a long time since we've really properly crossed paths here on Wikipedia. I see you've been doing well helping develop the ''Grand Theft Auto VI ↗'' article, and hope you are eagerly awaiting more on ''Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet ↗'', where I hope to eventually aid you in developing content concerning the score by Trent Reznor ↗ and Atticus Ross ↗. And of course when ''The Last of Us'' season 3 ↗ draws close, I'll try to contribute to the material ↗ that Santaolalla ↗ and Fleming ↗ draw up. In the meanwhile though, I was hoping to get your input on an article I've just promoted to GA ↗ status, '''''Inferno''''' '''(Boards of Canada album)''' ↗, because it has profoundly confounded me.

For the life of me, I'm not seeing any tidbit written down that catches my eye as a prime contender for '''WP:DYK ↗'''. Maybe it's because my brain is fried from the heatwave ↗. Maybe it's because the band has done ''zero interviews'' in promotion for the album, which is where you'd expect to see content that would make for a good DYK hook. But I know you're a pro at DYK, so I thought, "y'know, of those on Wikipedia I'm familiar with, if anyone could find gold dust in a river of content, I bet it'd be Rhain". I would appreciate it if you'd take a gander at the article with your 'good eye-for DYK' if you find the time. With <s>warm</s> ''refreshingly chilly'' regards, '''B'''arnt'''T'''oust 17:47, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

:Good to hear from you! Never a bother at all—it's nice to see what you've been working on. I'm certainly not a master at DYK or anything, but there are a few things that immediately caught my eye:
:* ... that unsolicited VHS cassettes ↗ were mailed to past customers of a record label ↗ to promote '''''Inferno ↗'''''{{-?}}
:* ... that an '''''Inferno ↗''''' song references the Antichrist ↗ and Osama bin Laden ↗ before sampling ↗ a Christian televangelist ↗'s sermon ↗?
:* ... that a song from '''''Inferno ↗''''' featuring a woman describing embryo development ↗ was used at the end of ''Backrooms ↗''{{-?}}
:* ... that '''''Inferno ↗''''' samples ↗ buzzing flies ↗, an Islamic scholar ↗, Hare Krishna ↗, ''The Jesus Trip ↗'', and a woman describing embryo development ↗?
:* ... that the marketing for '''''Inferno ↗''''' was described as a "noisy anti-campaign"?
:* ... that reviewers could only listen to '''''Inferno ↗''''' three times?
:* ... that the White House ↗'s social media accounts posted a video incorporating a song from '''''Inferno ↗''''' without permission ↗?
:* ... that a reviewer thought '''an electronic album ↗''' served as an investigation of faith ↗, human biology ↗, and existential doubt ↗?
:Possibly not all usable, but hopefully a good place to start! Please never hesitate to drop a message if you ever need anything, even if it's just to share something you're working on—again, never a bother. Hope you're coping alright with the heat ↗! – '''''Rhain''''' ☔ {{su|p=he|b=him}} ↗ 23:12, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
::Whoa, thank you Rhain! I had figured the best contenders for DYK would likely come from the sampling content, and the three concerning that, they are definitely my favorite of the ones you've suggested here. I shouldn't complain about the AC being out at my building, since stronger souls (the greater part of Europe) deal with this sort of thing as just the norm, after all. Once again, I really appreciate your help with this one. I would keep in touch, it's always a pleasure crossing paths. Be seeing you around! '''B'''arnt'''T'''oust 01:12, 4 July 2026 (UTC)
