It was a leek. Leeks happen. They've happened since the beginning of time.

— C. J. Cregg (Allison Janney), from The West Wing's "Bad Moon Rising" (2001)

Hi there, I'm theleekycauldron! Some people like to call me leek or leeky, which is fine by me :) (as long as you write in lowercase!) I became a Wikipedian in the summer of 2020, starting out as a minor; I firmly believe in the ability of younger editors to be positive and productive contributors to this project. My talk page is always open to questions, comments, complaints, and requests for help – don't hesitate to reach out!

Etymology

theleekycauldron is a rough portmanteau of leek, a root vegetable I identify with due to an inside joke, and The Leaky Cauldron, a pub in the Harry Potter universe.^[1]

Contributions

I've tried to maintain a single niche since starting out, but my interests shift a little too quickly for that; as a result, my work spans the fields of U.S. politics, Judaism, American serial political drama The West Wing, internet culture, American variety talk show Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, random things I find funny or interesting, and people named Claudia. I also spend lots of time over at Did you know, where I help build prep sets, review nominations, and generally keep the train a-chuggin'. An icon to the right of a name indicates its pre-expansion class, if I didn't create the article. Cheers!

Do any of these work? ... not really, no. But I sure did put a bunch of time into 'em!

Essays

For the half-baked thoughts I'm intending to finish.

Did you know ...

This is a random selection of my silliest hooks :P

... that it's pronounced "gif", not "gif"?
... that while Alexander Hamilton may not have broken the tie in the election of 1800, he did break the tie in "The Election of 1800"?
... that Demi Lovato started an Internet feud with a frozen yogurt shop—and lost?
... that John Oliver was sued for defamation after a man in a squirrel costume told a coal industry CEO to "eat shit" on his show?
... that Canadian politician Above Znoneofthe chose his name so as to be placed last on alphabetical ballots?

A full list of hooks can be found here.

From	Date	Title	Kind note :D
Amakuru	2021 September 3	The DYK Barnstar	Hi Theleekycauldron, a little appreciation of all the hard work you've put into the DYK space in the past few weeks. There is often a shortage of people willing to build prep sets and take part in the other grunt work, and thanks in part to your efforts the large backlog has now been reduced. Keep up the good work!
ezlev	2021 September 30	The Barnstar of Good Humor	For a basket of puns and related wordplay in your DYK nomination. Thanks for making me laugh!
Beccaynr	2021 October 10	The Purple Star	For your kindness and grace with the Erynn Chambers article and AfD.
Victuallers	2021 November 23	The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar	Really appreciating the Hook updates. Thank you. Please have this barnstar.
Ktin	2021 November 24	The Tireless Contributor Barnstar	Hello there! Thanks so much for the energy that you bring to the WP:DYK project!!! Editors like you are the reason this place is so beautiful! Thanks and stay awesome!
Kingsif	2021 December 30	The Good Heart Barnstar	As we come to the end of another terrifying year, I must express my gratitude for you on Wikipedia. Be it quick responses, prepbuilding like nobody has before (and we've tried!), or just putting up with all my DYK talk messages, requests, and getting lost. Thank you, happy new year.
Bruxton	2022 January 7	The DYK Barnstar	For your tremendous contributions to the DYK process.
The Most Comfortable Chair	2022 January 29	The Barnstar of Integrity	For your honest introspection in response to question 20. The ability to realize your mistakes, straight-up admit that you were wrong without making excuses, and reflect on how it helped you grow shows true character and a level of maturity which a lot of us never reach — this makes you eminently worthy of administratorship in my book.
🐔dat	2022 January 29	The Barnstar of Good Humor	Per the most recent diff of this page. The one involving picking at your face.
Maile	2022 January 29	The Tireless Contributor Barnstar	You gave it your best efforts. There is always tomorrow, and another chance somewhere down the line. In the meantime, keep on with the good work you do for all of us
Jeromi Mikhael	2022 January 29	The Original Barnstar	Really sorry for forgetting to attend your RfA. I'm busy in my home wiki and real life, so I forgot to look after enwiki. I've seen the answers to the RfA, and none of this is immature. Those who doubt you think that people can't change in a matter of months, but who I am talking to now clearly disproves that statement. Some other people have warned you to wait for several months for the RfA, but you pushed forward regardless. You might have lost the battle, but you won the war. Prove to them that you are not the 16-year-old they might think about.
HouseOfChange	2022 February 28	The Barnstar of Good Humor	Your kindness and energy are a bright spot at DYK and elsewhere. Thank you!
Bilorv	2022 March 24	The Surreal Barnstar	Congrats on winning Wall-to-wall coverage, which I continue to think is one of the hardest Challenges despite the number of people who have proved me wrong! And on your first TFA as well, I believe. I know a lot of your work focuses on the Main Page, so I shouldn't be so surprised, but well done. :)
evrik	2022 April 13	The DYK Barnstar	In appreciation of your hard work.
Reidgreg	2022 May 10	The Teamwork Barnstar	Awarded jointly and severally to Spidey104. PCN02WPS, Evrik, and Theleekycauldron, for all of your timely help with Free Comic Book Day for the event's 20th anniversary: expanding the article, cleaning it up, offering advice, reviewing it at GAN and DYK, and promoting its late entry into the queue. It has been greatly appreciated.
Rlink2	2022 May 15	The DYK Barnstar	Keep up the good work. I am still trying to ramp up to my previous levels of Wiki activity, which includes promoting hooks.
Paradise Chronicle	2022 June 19	The Galactic Barnstar	For your resilience and persistence in improving the DYK process. What would DYK look like without you?

building prep sets

Thank you for quality articles such as SLAPP Suits, A West Wing Special to Benefit When We All Vote and Julie Schmit-Albin, for building prep sets for DYK with a keen eye on diversity of topics, such as on 9/11, and an open ear for my complaints, and uplifting replies, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!
