This is a damn good draft[edit]

I don't think I've seen a draftspace article get quite so thorough in covering the good, the bad, and how the fuck it got that way so thoroughly. ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 19:17, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks! I had to wade in deep for this one and believe me, I did not enjoy sifting through those Twitter accounts. It was a special interest of mine to look up this account because I had seen An Open Secret float around when Harvey Weinstein was outed and my initial thought was "Wow." I started to wonder why it wasn't getting more attention until I looked at their feed and noticed what kind of activity was going on. I noticed no one else but a Little Green Footballs article had pointed it out and I figured I'd start somewhere else, even if it's only a draft. --CommanderTruthSeeker (talk) 19:21, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
While this is from Little Green Footballs, this article does have some interesting gems in it. --CommanderTruthSeeker (talk) 19:32, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
Now that you mention it, it does over-rely on twitter for sources. ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 19:35, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
There was the issue of that. I found there is a problem in how the latest coverage on the documentary is from 2017 when it went public, so I fully acknowledge that downside. However, the stuff the account has tweeted will help in the short run, although I am glad I found the articles on the troubled production and the threats to the victims. I do think this will be a draft and not a page for quite a while because there has been no real news stories since about the doc. When I've searched An Open Secret, it usually pulls up articles that uses those words, not stuff about the documentary. --CommanderTruthSeeker (talk) 19:42, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

On Expanding this Draft[edit]

I have this draft open to expansion and am interested in help if possible. While I do have sources, the fact that there are very few good articles on the documentary in recent years makes it difficult to substantiate it beyond going through the Tweets of the official account and the producers. Any help would be appreciated.— Unsigned, by: CommanderTruthSeeker / talk / contribs
