History
[edit]- Charlie, who was 15 or 16 at the time, got the idea from a friend who came up with it after school. The two initially had the idea of a subreddit for "whole wheat bread stapled to trees", but changed it to be more less specific. â Charlie, who was 15 or 16 at the time, got the idea from a friend who came up with it after school; the two initially had the idea of a subreddit for "whole wheat bread stapled to trees", but changed it to be more less specific.

- In 2019, the subreddit was covered in Esquire, which called it a "baffling new meme", and Yahoo News, which called it a "bizarre trend". The subreddit surged in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic as an outdoor activity people could do while staying at home. In 2022, the subreddit had 315,000 members and three moderators. â The subreddit was covered by Esquire, which called it a "baffling new meme", while Yahoo News described it as a "bizarre trend".

- Not done, I think it should specify "in 2019" since the quotes refer to it as "new" and a "trend", which are both time-based qualifiers.
- In May 2019, a member of a Facebook group for Redcliffe Peninsula residents posted a photograph of bread stapled to a tree. Other users responded by linking to the subreddit. In July 2019, the trend gained attention in Sheffield, England, after a resident posted a photo and wrote, "There is a curious development in Brincliffe Gardens... Is this part of some weird new cult?" â A member of a Facebook group for Redcliffe Peninsula residents posted a photograph of bread stapled to a tree in 2019; users responded by linking to the subreddit. The trend gained attention in Sheffield, England the same year, after a resident posted a photo and wrote, "There is a curious development in Brincliffe Gardens... Is this part of some weird new cult?"

Content
[edit]- The "acceptable bread list" specifies what is allowed to be stapled, including dough-based foods besides bread. Alternative subreddits exist for fastening methods other than staples. To ensure trees are not damaged, it is banned to use more than three slices of bread, or to use bonsai, cacti, or young trees. It is recommended to remove staples after photographing them to prevent animals from eating them. â The "acceptable bread list" specifies what is allowed to be stapled, including dough-based foods besides bread; alternative subreddits exist for fastening methods other than staples.

- The moderators remove posts that do not actually contain bread stapled to trees, but may make exceptions for creativity. Moderator Bob Anderson told Bon AppĂŠtit, "We want people to actually be creative, actually go outside and staple bread to trees. We donât want someone to just be lazy with it." â Posts that do not actually contain bread stapled to trees are removed, but exceptions may be made for creativity; moderator Bob Anderson told Bon AppĂŠtit, "We want people to actually be creative, actually go outside and staple bread to trees.

- Pipe the WL to Internet_forum#Moderators.
- Not done, I think "Reddit moderator" is a valid red link as the concept of Reddit moderators could be an article.
- Users come up with creative variations on the subreddit's simple concept. Users post photos with titles describing their combinations of breads and trees, such as "Dempster's White on Canadian Oak". Some staple bread as a social activity. Some have posted bread they found stapled by others. Users have posted prom and homecoming proposals that consist of bread stapled to trees. Comments on the subreddit give compliments or art criticism about posts. User Andy Chamberlain, known as u/I_Say_Fool_Of_A_Took, created a music video about the subreddit. â Users come up with creative variations on the subreddit's simple concept; they post photos with titles describing their combinations of breads and trees, such as "Dempster's White on Canadian Oak".

- User Andy Chamberlain, known as u/I_Say_Fool_Of_A_Took, created a music video about the subreddit. Please remove this sentence, as it is irrelevant.
- Done, I was unsure about that.
- The subreddit is popular for its absurdity and for being a friendly, constructive community. A paper by social media analyst Kim Cousins says, "Although focused around an absurd topic, [it] is an example of a strong virtual community and displays many characteristics of a traditional offline community including weak ties and strong social identity." â The subreddit is popular for its absurdity and for being a friendly, constructive community; a paper by social media analyst Kim Cousins says, "Although focused around an absurd topic, [it] is an example of a strong virtual community and displays many characteristics of a traditional offline community including weak ties and strong social identity."

NPOV
[edit]No issue, pass.
Spotcheck
[edit][1]: 
Source is owned by CondḠNast and author has prior experience at NYT. 1c and 1g are OR.
- I don't see how 1c is OR. The quote from the source, "the subreddit saw a 'huge influx' of posts over the course of the pandemic, as more people were working from home and looking for fun, affordable ways to socialize outdoors," supports my statement about the pandemic.
- Changed 1g to The subreddit's users provide friendly, constructive comments.
[2]:
- 2b is unreliable, see WP:HEADLINE
- I wasn't sure if that part counted as a headline here, but you're right. I have rewritten the sentence with a source more clearly fitting it.
- 2c is OR
- Changed to The trend appeared in [...]
[3]:
- Should be fine as [1] verifies the date of publication.
- 3f and 3g are OR
- Removed 3f.
- 3g is not OR as I am summarizing the subject's reception with opinions of RSes. I think this is the same as, for example, citing two movie reviews and saying they both praised someone's acting.
