In the second paragraph of the "Early Life" section there is the sentence "He also participated in underground cinema, helping create the low-budget film Star Bootyand an album by the same name.", with no space between "Booty" and "and".  Preceding unsigned comment added by Dayman773 (talkcontribs) 02:13, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Expanding Cultural Impact Section

edit

Hello! As a queer activist and drag fan I would like to suggest an update that i think would make a great edit to the article, specifically in the “Cultural Impact” and “Early Life” sections. I suggest these two reliable sources that I believe add valuable information about RuPaul Andre Charles's influence, that will benefit the article in my opinion.

1. Early Life Update:

  • Entertainment Weekly noted that RuPaul’s upcoming memoir, The House of Hidden Meanings, will detail his early life before fame.
  • Source: Entertainment Weekly article

2. Cultural Impact Update:

  • The book The Cultural Impact of RuPaul’s Drag Race discusses how the show transformed drag from an underground "cub kids" culture to a true mainstream profession.
  • Source: Intellect Books

That transparently looks like a suggestion to advertise his books. 81.147.91.124 (talk) 21:24, 26 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Roux

edit

"from roux, the French term for the base of gumbo and other creole stews and soups".

This sounds at if gumbo and Creole stew are the main purpose for a roux. A roux is the base for a number of classic French sauces. That it was subsequently used in two US dishes is incidental and misleading when used to describe what a roux is. 81.147.91.124 (talk) 21:30, 26 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
