Google Doodle task force

Since Google Doodles is followed by a spike of interest in the subject that they feature, there is now a Google Doodle task force focusing on current and previous Google Doodles. All interested editors may join. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 15:30, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

international?

Are GDs international, appearing the same world-wide? Localized? Blocked/censored in some countries? The article should explain this aspect, in some detail.-71.174.175.150 (talk) 19:52, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

one day per doodle?

They generally appear for "one day"? The lede should say so! But what exactly is "one day" -- what about time zones etc? Does the GD advance to the next one locally in each time zone as midnight passes?-71.174.175.150 (talk) 19:54, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Point of the page listing the doodles without showing anything?

What is the point of the page (list of Google Doodle 2016)? It's useless if it doesn't show the Doodles!

Pages from deleted category

On 2021 September 12, Category:Google Doodles was nominated for deletion at WP:CFD, and the discussion was closed as "delete" on September 19. It was queued for listification, but this never happened; as of 2022 April 21, the category still contained 46 pages (many of which were not listed in the main article). Since this task has remained outstanding for over a year, it seems unlikely that the category will remain in its current state indefinitely, so I will reproduce the list here in order to preserve it for anyone who wishes to include the information in this article. Here are all members of the category:

• Google Doodle

• Annie Besant
• Louis Braille
• Constantin Brâncuși
• The Cyberiad
• Dolphy

I remember an interactive doodle about slicing pizza which is not mentioned in the article

At some point in 2021 or 2022, I remember encountering a Google Doodle with a play button, leading to a game where you had to slice pizza in a way that different slices had or lacked different ingredients.

Example level

The pizza has onions, pepperoni and chili on it. You have to slice the pizza in a way that you get:

• one slice with just onions
• one slice with just chili
• two slices with pepperoni and chili
• one slice with all three ingredients

first animated doodle is 2000 halloween

the page says that the first animated doodle celebrated sir isaac newton, however, in the official google doodle website, the first animated doodle is for halloween in the year 2000 (https://doodles.google/about/) 110.138.95.183 (talk) 06:07, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Format of notable Doodles list

The list is very long and quite hard to scan with the eye, partly because so many entries begin On [Month day, year], Google celebrated X with a Doodle which . . . . The actual subject of the Doodle is buried some way into the entry.

Since being able to scan by date is still important, the subject of the Doodle can't go right at the beginning, but I think a better format would be The [Month day, year] Doodle celebrated X . . . This is less wordy and mentions the featured person sooner.

Or possibly even [Month day, year]: X was celebrated so all Doodle subjects are mentioned directly after the date.

If nobody objects or comes up with a better one, I'll start editing entries into one of these formats. Musiconeologist (talk) 18:22, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Or maybe The [Month day, year] Doodle, for X, [did Y]. It's unlikely that an identical format will fit everything. Musiconeologist (talk) 18:31, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Swiss National Day

In the Common Themes section, the dates for this (in the original format) were "2001–2015; 2016–present". Either that's a typo, or the event happens more than once a year, or it's a single time period. I took the last of those to be correct. Musiconeologist (talk) 22:53, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Article style sheet

This is experimental and meant to fulfil the same function as in traditional copy-editing: a working list of style choices made or encountered, for reference while working and as a note for others of what's been done.

It's not meant to impose any particular style, simply keep track of what's currently in use. Hopefully it can be kept simply as a list of style points, with any discussion put in another section.

For now, I've a tiny handful of things to list.

• Doodle: capitalised (proper noun; also not doodles in the usual sense, so wrong word if lowercase). Google omitted where possible.
• Doodler: capitalised (proper noun). No quote marks even though they're not strictly doodling (already handled by the capitalisation).
• date ranges for annual Doodles: whichever parts are needed of (YYYY; YYYY–YYYY; YYYY onwards).
