Matchstick models at the museum
- ... that the Matchstick Marvels Museum in Iowa has large models (video clip featured) created out of thousands of matchsticks which are glued one at a time?
- Reviewed: Misogynist terrorism
- Comment: One of the books is self-published by a company named Colorfx, but the author is an expert in things that have to do with Iowa, his books have some reliable coverage such as this one, and the book is held in libraries (I even checked my copy out from a library).

- I’m not sure what to use in place of (pictured) or if I still use it with a video. I did ask another DYK contributor on their talk page, but I never received a response for some reason. I’m hoping that it was just looked over on accident, but as someone with high functioning autism, I get highly frustrated when it appears that I’m being ignored for no good reason (story of life in school and sometimes now in real life).

- SL93, sorry for the delay, I'm having trouble with the inbox on a new laptop. I think you just mean do we use something besides (picture)? I think video clip featured sound good...we've used a couple of video clips in the past couple months, let me check what we used on them. —valereee (talk) 12:47, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
- The DYK for kitchen hack just said "example pictured". So I don't think there's a standard convention, just whatever makes most sense. —valereee (talk) 12:52, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for checking. To be clear to others, my comment about a DYK contributor was referring to someone else. SL93 (talk) 15:51, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
- SL93, if the "someone else" you attempted to contact was in this edit, please note that attempted pings such as that do not work. A successful ping requires that you mention a user and leave your signature all in the same edit. So she wasn't ignoring you, because she never received a ping. (And the other user may have thought that you were just asking the attempted pingee rather than him.) MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 22:56, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
