Thanks, I will try. IMDB don't seem to check new DOB subs, only changed ones. I did try to change it a while ago, using a link to Jai's official site, but they said they don't accept official sites as proof for changed DOBs because so many celebrities lie about their ages. It's just ridiculous because Jai has been in the public eye (giving interviews) since he first landed the role in 'Rent,' and he was only 17 and in high school then. I doubt he was lying his age down as a teen, especially given he was playing older. Bu yeah, I'll dig out some of his teenage interviews and try submitting with those. Thanks. -- [[User:Queer Scout|Queer Scout]] |

Hi. I hope you don't mind that I added the filmography chart to Holly's article. I figured it might look a little cleaner with the chart and deter people from adding random credits. Plus, I was really bored. Great job reverting all the unsourced garbage/vandalism too! I seriously thought I was going to have to get that thing protected.

;'''''Wake up!''''' |
|||
I say this to myself as much as I say it to all of us. I work a lot by myself or with individual editors who spend time at [[WP:FAC|Featured Article Candidates]]. It seems on November 5 a fog was lifted off my brain that helped me realize that we have massive potential in this project to get things done. Take this allegory, for instance: ''On Wednesday, Nov. 5, 1980, my 10th-grade American history teacher started class by unfurling The New York Times. She pointed to its triple banner headline: “Reagan Easily Beats Carter; Republicans Gain in Congress; D’Amato and Dodd are Victors.” “Save this paper,” she told us. “This is the start of a whole new era.”'' [http://warner.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/11/06/title/ Judith Warner from The New York Times] |
|||
It definitely seems a start to a whole new era now. If planets align correctly to remind us that whatever advances we may have made in electing what appears to be an [[Barack Obama|extraordinary president]] in the US, the moons that revolve around those planets also serve to illustrate it's not that simple. Florida, Arizona, and California all appear to have banned [[same sex marriage]]. As someone who was married in California and lives in Florida, this is particularly poignant. We seem to be at the juncture of two converging paths. If we maximize our efforts and take the right ones, we might just be able to affect some change for ourselves. |
|||
;'''The power of Wikipedia and [[California Proposition 8 (2008)]]''' |
|||
Though what we do is an interesting hobby for some, we have the power to make a difference. California's ballot initiative to ban gay marriage was a fierce fight. It's being challenged right now, but just look at how Wikipedia played a role in that: in October 2008, 360,238 people read its article. On November 5, an astounding [http://stats.grok.se/en/200811/California_Proposition_8_(2008) 467,000 people read it]. I commend the editors who work on that article—both those who support and oppose it. A look at the talk page shows a concerted effort to keep it civil and accurate. |
|||
;'''What can we do?''' |
|||
How do you fight ignorance? With information. That's what Wikipedia is for. This project is overwhelming with '''8,576 articles''' in its scope. We can continue to work piecemeal as we have in the past, or we can focus on goals. These are examples of areas we can concentrate on. |

|||
There are more than 8,000 articles to work on. Can we build a list of priorities? Can we build enough enthusiasm to work on these? What if we had editors who oversaw progress in these areas and reported to the talk page or in the newsletter? Surely someone here wants to report on the progress of sex articles. |
|||
Tony Perkins ([[Anthony Perkins|irony]]) from the conservative '''[[Family Research Council]]''' [http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/07/conservatives.election/index.html was heartened by the recent passages of gay marriage bans.] The Republican Party is without direction. What's going to take the place of a moderate voice will not be pleasant to our ears. Watching and improving articles of subjects that have opposed gay rights in the past will be of vital importance very soon, I predict. |
|||
;'''But WP:LGBT is not a very active project''' |
|||
All we can do is start somewhere. The first step is answering this newsletter on the project talk page. Join in the discussion. |
|||
;'''More things we can do''' |
|||
* Give out more '''[[WP:Barnstar|barnstar]]s''', and let each other know that what they're doing is valued. |
|||
* Create a guide to '''stave off burnout''', because editors in this project get burned out faster than others. There are many hills to climb. |
|||
* Bring back the '''monthly collaboration project'''. |
|||
* Participate in LGBT '''Peer reviews'''. |
|||
* Get familiar with the characteristics of '''Good Articles''' and get our top priority articles to [[WP:GA]]. |
|||
* Keep our [[WP:LGBT|project page]] and [[Template:LGBT_open_tasks|open tasks template]] '''updated'''. |
|||
* Use the Newsletter, Moni3! You can suggest what to send out in the newsletter, too! |
|||
* Offer research materials, copy editing, ideas, and '''support''' to '''your fellow editors'''. |
|||
* Keep the '''[[WT:LGBT|project talk page]] informed of problems''' and discussions we should know about. |
|||
;'''Proposal: Put Importance Levels on articles''' |
|||
If this was decided long before I was a member, maybe it's time to revisit it. Other WikiProjects, such as [[WP:Novels]] determine that some subjects have an importance category: Top, High, Mid, Low, or None (undetermined). If we decide that our most core articles, it might help to organize which articles to address first. Top importance, for example, would be [[Gay]], [[Homosexual]], [[Lesbian]], [[Bisexual]], [[Transgender]], [[Sappho]], [[Oscar Wilde]], [[Stonewall riots]], for example. High importance would be [[Homosexuality and psychology]], [[Harvey Milk]], [[Mattachine Society]], [[Harry Hay]], or [[Daughters of Bilitis]], and so on. This can be a matter of discussion, or perhaps we could have someone in charge of determining these levels for all the articles we have tagged. |
|||
;'''So, like [[Slim Whitman]], [[Mars Attacks!|"I'm Calling You"]]''' |
|||
The editors I have admired in the past, who have done great things alone, and who I think can help us all do extraordinary things now: [[User:SatyrTN|SatyrTN]], [[User:Dev920|Dev920]], [[User:Aleta|Aleta]], [[User:Becksguy|Becksguy]], [[User:Otto4711|Otto4711]], [[User:Belovedfreak|BelovedFreak]], [[User:Benjiboi|Benjiboi]], [[User:Bookkeeperoftheoccult|Bookkeeper of the Occult]], [[User:Queerudite|Queerudite]], [[User:FisherQueen|FisherQueen]] (I ''will'' marry you), [[User:Paul_Barlow|PaulB]], [[User:AgnosticPreachersKid|APK]], [[User:Zigzig20s|ZigZig20s]], [[User:Allstarecho|AllStarEcho]] (I know you're out there), [[User:Raystorm|Raystorm]], and my very [[WP:OWN|own]] copy editor, [[User:Dank55|Dank55]]. |
|||
These are the editors I've seen working (and I know I'm forgetting a few). There's more of you out there I haven't seen. Some of you are new. We need all of you. Please help. |

Miami, January 18, 1977 after the gay rights ordinance was passed: ''While [[Anita Bryant|Bryant]] and the others were creating the beginnings of the repeal effort, (gay activists) Basker, Campbell, Kunst, and the other (gay rights) ordinance supporters congratulated themselves on their success and then quickly disbanded... There was no organized recognition or celebration of the victory. As one activist remembered, "We just went home." They had little idea of the battle that was before them.'' - Fred Fejes in ''Gay Rights and Moral Panic'', 2008 |

:You're getting near to violating the 3-revert rule. I request that you please stick to discussing this on the talk page. As this is not in my opinion OR, as it is reliably sourced, it shouldn't be removed from the article outright because you think it is. You may very well do a [[WP:RfC|request for comment]] for the article and seek outside opinion (which may be good to do anyway), and see if other neutral parties believe this statement is either OR or should just be removed.

::[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Ianto_Jones&curid=7572270&action=history Check the history please]. I see your name up there 3 times. I give the first time your "original edit". The next two aren't original edits, you're removing the same material again (that constitutes a revert). As for invading your page to leave rude messages, I thought I was being quite polite by asking nicely. I didn't snap at you. I didn't do anything but politely request that you go to the talk page because a discussion had already been started there. When you reverted a second time I just felt that I would warn you that you were getting close so that you didn't waste your last revert to the page on some petty content dispute. That was actually me looking out for you. But since you seem to be in this idea that I'm actually attacking you, I'll remember to keep my courtesies to myself (at least with you) in the future, should we cross paths again.

:::Please read the history carefully. An IP (which I am not saying that it was you) removed the SW portion of the sentence. Then you removed the rest. I initially assumed that you were removing something that was not sourced. When I replaced the original statement, which had the context needed to show why the bit you removed was necessary, you returned and removed everything (your original bit, plus the stuff I restored that was already there). That was your first revert (it doesn't matter that you removed additional stuff, because you still removed the same information as before). You reverted again after Paul restored the comment, which was your second revert. I came to your page after your first official revert to inform you that there was a discussion. Subsequently, 5 minutes later you went to the talk page and left a comment, and ''then'' you went back to the article and reverted for a second time. ''That'' was why I came to your talk page again and alerted you to the fact that you were getting close to your third revert, and asked you to stay on the talk page. Yes, I did revert as well, which is somewhat hypocritical of me, but IMO it felt more like you were coming in and asserting your opinion as the supreme one (which I based on the fact that you left a comment and then immediately reverted the page). [[WP:AGF|Possibly poor assumption]] on my part, but nevertheless, that was why I reverted you and asked you to stay on the talk page to hash this out completely. But, for some reason you're taking everything I do toward you as hostile (at least that is my impression), so I'll just leave you be completely then. Good day.

;<u>[[Stonewall riots]]</u> |
|||
;How do you change the world? You can start by writing an incredible article for the world's encyclopedia. Moni3 kicks it old school again with [[Stonewall riots]] - ''a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969 at the [[Stonewall Inn]]. [...] [T]hey have become the defining event that marked the start of the [[gay rights movement]] in the United States and around the world.'' It's a featured article hitting the mainpage this Sunday to mark the 40th anniversary of the events. So first off, wow! Clever and cool. Moni3 has been recently named hottest delegate to Obama's bookclub but that may not be official yet. (Shhh!) |
|||
Otto4711 mentioned that gee we really should swamp the DYK section with LGBT-related articles for use on the 28th as well. We have eight or so in the [[T:TDYK#Articles created.2Fexpanded for the anniversary of the Stonewall riots .28June 28.29|holding area]] and if you push yourself to get an article together you might be able to get in on the fun. <big>'''Do this now!'''</big> |
|||
The official rules for DYKs can be found [[Wikipedia:Did you know#DYK rules |here]]. Once you have expanded an article 5-fold or created an article with at least 1,500 characters of prose, place your DYK thread [[Template talk:Did you know#Articles created.2Fexpanded for the anniversary of the Stonewall riots .28June_28.29 |here]]. Use [http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/charcount.shtml this] handy tool to count your 1,500 characters. As a suggestion, when you add your potential hook, include the character count and a link to the source(s) that confirm the hook. These will be confirmed anyway but may help. |
|||
;<u>Trans quotes needed for [[Portal:Transgender]]</u> |
|||
The layout for the individual quotes is [[Portal:Transgender/Random quote/Layout|here]] (just copy/paste into one of the red links on [[Portal:Transgender/Random quote]]). Then [[Portal:Transgender/Random quote/Number of quotes|this counter]] has to be upped to match the new # of total quotes (not counting quote zero). |
|||
;<u>Obama proclamation</u> |
|||
On June 1, [http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Presidential-Proclamation-LGBT-Pride-Month/ President Barack Obama declared] June 2009 Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month, citing the riots as a reason to "commit to achieving equal justice under law for LGBT Americans". Excerpts at the bottom. |
|||
;<u>F*ck me I'm famous</u> |
|||
I was interviewed by ''Wikipedia Signpost'', the weekly in-house newsletter, for the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2009-05-25/WikiProject report|WikiProject report]]. The ''Signpost'' has nearly 1,000 Wikipedian subscribers and arguably many of those folks actually read it. It came about rather quickly and my worst fears - that it was an elaborate hoax by a troll - were apparently unfounded. I hope y'all feel I did fine by the project, I did my best to avoid the phrase "[[User:AgnosticPreachersKid|man-humping, cock-sucking, doggy-style loving queer]]" but otherwise did ok. |
|||
;<u>Free image appeal</u> |
|||
A friendly reminder to consider taking photos while you're [[Sex and the City|out and about]] at various [[Dyke march]]es and [[Pride parade]]s. Consider donating them to the world at [[Wikicommons]]. I'm sooo totally over having to deal with lovely images being deleted and argued about. If they are just free they are then also freely usable worldwide. And no, they don't need photos of your [[vagina|cha-cha]] or [[penis|hoo-hoo-dilly]]. |
|||
;<u>[[Chaz Bono]]</u> |
|||
[[Sonny and Cher]]'s daughter was a famous lesbian and now he's a famous [[transman]], possibly the most famous in the world. This also serves as a friendly reminder that we recently updated [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Guidelines]] - it's not perfect but should help inform on those gnip-gnop battles that do seem to drag on, and not in the [[drag queen|good way]]. |
|||

As part of the redecorating at [[WT:LGBT|our talkpage]], the article alerts and keyword search alerts are handily located at the top of the page. Always fascinating to see what's up. All help appreciated on those. |

;<u>Our own little IRC home</u> |
|||
The LGBT studies project does have its own free [[Internet Relay Chat]] channel, {{IRC|wikipedia-en-lgbt}}, for coordination, collaboration and socializing. This channel is hosted on [[Freenode]] and can be accessed in one of two ways: If you already have an [[Internet Relay Chat#Clients|IRC client]], click the link to the left. If you do not have an IRC client, you'll need to get one installed on your computer first. Once you've done this, then click on the link to the left. |
|||
For more general information on IRC and a listing of other useful Wikipedia-related channels, see [[Wikipedia:IRC channels]]. |
|||
The project had at one point another channel at {{IRC|LGBTproject}} but as the original people associated with the setting up and administration of that channel have seemed to have disappeared, this new channel has been set up. Plus the new channel is inline with required naming conventions for Wikipedia related IRC channels. So, feel free to use this channel. Such a channel gives opportunity to discuss the latest happening on articles, the LGBT project itself, latest happening in your life with "wiki-friends" here, etc.. You can say things on there you normally wouldn't here on Wikipedia (keeping it civil of course) like talk about the latest hot guy/girl or tell a joke.. you get the point. Anyway, see you there - eventually! |

Afternoon, |

<br>U need a DIRECT link '''IN THE ARTICLE''' not on the talk page. |

<br>Plus when u click on the 1st link 1 is taken 2 a page where 1 must make a choice; how does 1 know whether or not 2 choose m/c/p/r or w? |
|||
<br>Maybe if u know how 2 access the info, take a screenshot & upload it to the web, then link that. |

Jai's age
[edit]Thanks, I will try. IMDB don't seem to check new DOB subs, only changed ones. I did try to change it a while ago, using a link to Jai's official site, but they said they don't accept official sites as proof for changed DOBs because so many celebrities lie about their ages. It's just ridiculous because Jai has been in the public eye (giving interviews) since he first landed the role in 'Rent,' and he was only 17 and in high school then. I doubt he was lying his age down as a teen, especially given he was playing older. Bu yeah, I'll dig out some of his teenage interviews and try submitting with those. Thanks. -- Queer Scout
- Find his high school graduation year then.--Fallout boy 23:49, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
If you're sure about him having been born in 1979, I'd suggest putting together some evidence and submitting it to imdb for consideration.--Fallout boy 14:51, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit]Hi. I hope you don't mind that I added the filmography chart to Holly's article. I figured it might look a little cleaner with the chart and deter people from adding random credits.

[edit]Before the edit war is engaged any further, you may want to check out the talk page where the discussion of Stephen Walker's comments has been underway. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 12:46, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
- You're getting near to violating the 3-revert rule. I request that you please stick to discussing this on the talk page. As this is not in my opinion OR, as it is reliably sourced, it shouldn't be removed from the article outright because you think it is. You may very well do a request for comment for the article and seek outside opinion (which may be good to do anyway), and see if other neutral parties believe this statement is either OR or should just be removed. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 12:59, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
- Check the history please. I see your name up there 3 times. I give the first time your "original edit". The next two aren't original edits, you're removing the same material again (that constitutes a revert). As for invading your page to leave rude messages, I thought I was being quite polite by asking nicely. I didn't snap at you. I didn't do anything but politely request that you go to the talk page because a discussion had already been started there. When you reverted a second time I just felt that I would warn you that you were getting close so that you didn't waste your last revert to the page on some petty content dispute. That was actually me looking out for you. But since you seem to be in this idea that I'm actually attacking you, I'll remember to keep my courtesies to myself (at least with you) in the future, should we cross paths again. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 13:29, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
- Please read the history carefully. An IP (which I am not saying that it was you) removed the SW portion of the sentence. Then you removed the rest. I initially assumed that you were removing something that was not sourced. When I replaced the original statement, which had the context needed to show why the bit you removed was necessary, you returned and removed everything (your original bit, plus the stuff I restored that was already there). That was your first revert (it doesn't matter that you removed additional stuff, because you still removed the same information as before). You reverted again after Paul restored the comment, which was your second revert. I came to your page after your first official revert to inform you that there was a discussion. Subsequently, 5 minutes later you went to the talk page and left a comment, and then you went back to the article and reverted for a second time. That was why I came to your talk page again and alerted you to the fact that you were getting close to your third revert, and asked you to stay on the talk page. Yes, I did revert as well, which is somewhat hypocritical of me, but IMO it felt more like you were coming in and asserting your opinion as the supreme one (which I based on the fact that you left a comment and then immediately reverted the page). Possibly poor assumption on my part, but nevertheless, that was why I reverted you and asked you to stay on the talk page to hash this out completely. But, for some reason you're taking everything I do toward you as hostile (at least that is my impression), so I'll just leave you be completely then. Good day.

The article Blair Boone has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Liz Read! Talk! 18:39, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
