Talk:Fort Wetherill State Park

Adding an "in popular culture" to the Fort Wetherill State Park page

Hello, I want to first disclose that while I am new to Wikipedia editing, I am interested in contributing to the collaborative community in a constructive way, and I am fully committed to adhering to Wikipedia's standards as articulated by the Five Pillars. I noticed there is no mention of the fact that Moonrise Kingdom's iconic beach scene was filmed at one of Fort Wetherill's beaches. Evidence of this fact is found in an article published by Atlas Obscura, and is also verified by the Moonrise Kingdom Wikipedia page. Other pages of towns and landmarks like Fort Wetherill State Park contain a "in popular culture" section. For example, the Narragansett, Rhode Island page has an "in popular culture" section that details the books, television shows, and movies that either reference the town or were filmed in Narragansett. I would love to receive feedback from fellow Wikipedians regarding my proposed edit. HannahRandolph (talk) 03:21, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

@HannahRandolph: Seems reasonable enough. Some people argue that "in popular culture" sections tend to sprawl into low quality trivia, and take away from the more "encyclopedic" content, but this looks fine to me. Thanks for adding a source with it -- that's the most important thing. I went ahead and tweaked the language/formatting a bit and added another citation.
