'''Monthly Challenge''': Find 5 editors to LGBT articles and invite them to the [[WP:LGBT|project]]! Check out our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_LGBT_studies/Community#Recruitment|recruitment tips]] if you need them. Good luck!

; Project News
* With such rapid development of the project, it was decided that a Coordinator was needed to ensure all the fiddly maintenence was kept up. Elections were held and {{User|Dev920}} has been elected [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Coordinator|Coordinator]] for the next three months. She said "I am honoured and proud to be at the helm of such a fantastic WikiProject and look forward to our future". Congratulations Dev!
* The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies#Assessment|assessment]] system continues to be a great success, we have tagged over 5200 articles! Please tag any LGBT related articles you come across by adding <nowiki>{{LGBTProject | class=}}</nowiki> to the talkpage. Please see the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Assessment|Assessment]] Department for how to assess an article according to the grading system.
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Jumpaclass|Jumpaclass]] is proving to be quite successful! The winner at the end of the year gets to pick the January collaboration, so sign up and get going! Or challenge another user to see how far you can jump a stub!
* A new [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Community|Community department]] has been set up to foster community amongst our members. It mostly acts as other WikiProjects' Outreach department, but also has a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Quilt|Quilt]] to which every member is entitled to add a square containing anything of their choice.
* The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Peer review|peer review]] is not getting much custom - please notice you can cross-list other peer reviews from different projects that also fall within our scope.
* Many people still seem to be unaware that the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Sexuality and gender|Deletion sorting]] subpage exists for XfDs to be listed: please use and watch that page instead of issuing "alerts" for ordinary AfDs on the project talkpage.
* [[WP:FILM]] has a current drive to give every film article an infobox. [[WP:LGBT]] successfully gave all 105 LGBT infoboxless films infoboxes, so a big thank you to everyone who participated.
* A new template, [[Template:LGBT|LGBT]], has been created for articles which are becoming to cluttered with infoboxes. Thanks to [[User:WJBscribe|WJBscribe]] and [[User:SatyrTN|SatyrTN]] for creating it.
* A very basic [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Resources|resources page]] has been started. Please add to it as you come across useful sites.
* A promotional poster for the project has been created: http://wplgbt.tripod.com/Wikipedianeedsyou.doc (you have to directly cut and paste the url, or it won't let you download it). Please distribute anywhere and everywhere you desire, such as gay libraries, cybercafes, community centres and so on. Also, please let [[User:Dev920|Dev920]] know where you have put it up, so she can keep track of our coverage.
* An LGBT Publications Taskforce has been proposed. Please sign up [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_LGBT_studies#Proposed_taskforces|here]] if you are interested in being involved.
* An LGBT WikiProject has been set up on the [[:es:Wikiproyecto:LGBT| Spanish]] Wikipedia! Set up by [[User:Raystorm|Raystorm]], it has already gained six members and is developing an assessment system. If you speak any Spanish, please consider going up and lending a hand if you can!

;Article News
* An LGBT article, [[Homosexual readings of Jesus and John]], made it onto the main page as a [[WP:DYK|DYK]] this month. Congratulations to [[User:Haiduc|Haiduc]], who wrote the article.
* Another article, [[Same-sex marriage in Italy]], also made it onto the main page as a [[WP:DYK|DYK]] this month. Congratulations to [[User:Raystorm|Raystorm]], who wrote the article.
* And another article, [[George Cecil Ives]], made it to the front page DYKs this month. Congratulations to [[User:Zefrog|Zefrog]], who wrote the article.

'''Monthly Challenge''':

;Article News
* Three articles were promoted to [[WP:FA|Featured Article]] status this month: [[Homer's Phobia]] ([[2007-03-26]]), [[Trembling Before G-d]] ([[2007-03-15]]) and [[Andrew Van De Kamp]] ([[2007-03-30]]). Congratulations to [[User:Gran2|Gran2]] and [[User:Dev920|Dev920]] (twice!) respectively for all their hard work!
* Three new articles appeared on the [[Main Page]] as [[Wikipedia:Did you know|Did you know?]] items: [[Classification of transsexuals]] ([[2007-03-02]]), [[Steve Stanton]] ([[2007-03-08]]) and [[Melbourne Gay and Lesbian Chorus]] ([[2007-03-23]]), started by [[User:Lwollert|Lwollert]], [[User:Yksin|Yksin]] and [[User:MusicMen|MusicMen]], respectively.
* [[User:DavidShankBone|DavidShankBone]] deserves kudos for his current drive to provide quality LGBT photos from the [[NYC]] area. One of the more recent photos is posted on [[Michael Musto]], and you can check out the gallery on [[User:DavidShankBone#PORTRAITS|David's user page]].

;Project News
* There is now the beginning of a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Core topics|list of core topics]] to possibly be included in the [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team|Wikipedia 1.0 release]]. Your suggestions are welcome; there may be many core LGBT topics still missing.
* We have a [[Wikipedia:List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people/To be sorted|list of people categorized as LGBT]] whose articles need to be checked for [[Wikipedia:Attribution#Reliable sources|reliable sourcing]]. This effort is necessary and urgent, to comply with Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|policy on living persons]]. Please take a few moments to source one article; if you've got time, do another.
* [[User:SatyrTN|SatyrTN]] identified all the articles that were in subcategories of [[:Category:LGBT]] but not yet tagged with [[Template:LGBTProject|the project's banner]], about 1,400 articles. These have been completed, though [[User:SatyrBot|SatyrBot]] will make periodic runs through the cats to find any new entries. Thanks Satyr!
* The number of articles within our project's spectrum (6,667 currently) should now be relatively stable and only grow with article creation. However, if you find a category that should be included, please let [[User:SatyrTN|SatyrTN]] know so it can be included in the bots runs.
* Work is underway to improve the [[Portal:LGBT|LGBT Portal]]. Please add any good quality (free) photos you come across on LGBT articles to the gallery [[User:WJBscribe/Drafts/2|here]]. Also if anyone would like to volunteer to help in maintaining the portal, please make yourselves known on the Portal's [[Portal talk:LGBT|talkpage]].
* If you see any [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] or any other [[Wikipedia:Deletion debates|deletion discussions]] related to LGBT topics, please remember to add them to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Sexuality and gender|deletion sorting board]]. Thanks!

XY-chromosome intersex individuals who have given birth

[edit]

Hello. Can you provide a cited example of your comment here that states that XY-chromosome intersex people can bear/have borne children? Thank you. -- User:RyanFreisling @ 00:37, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article you linked to does not mention pregnancy at all, as far as I could tell, and thus does not substantiate your assertion that XY females can bear children - do you have any specific proof of this assertion? One book in Dutch doesn't really serve as proof here on wiki-en. Also, Jamie Lee Curtis (whom you mention in passing) adopted her children along with her husband. -- User:RyanFreisling @

Welcome!

[edit]

Hi, Artgoyle, welcome to WikiProject LGBT Studies!

We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying, categorizing, and improving articles of interest to the LGBT community. Some points that may be helpful:

  • Our main aim is to help improve LGBT-related articles, so if someone asks for help with an article, please try your hardest to help them if you are able.
  • Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
  • The project has several ongoing and developing activities, such as article quality assessment, and a project-wide article collaboration, both of which you are welcome to take part in. We also have a unique program to improve our lower quality articles, Jumpaclass, so please consider signing up there.
  • If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to our translation section, to help us improve our foreign LGBT topics.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you.

And once again - Welcome!

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter!
Issue III - February 1, 2007

Announcement: If someone requests help or feedback on an article, please try your hardest to help them out if you are able. Thank you.

Project News
  • The LGBT Portal has once again been revamped and a work rota started. Efforts towards Featured Portal status are slowly coming together.
  • The assessment system has been a great success, we have tagged over 4000 articles! Please tag any LGBT related articles you come across by adding {{LGBTProject | class=}} to the talkpage. Please see the Assessment Department for how to assess an article according to the grading system.
  • The Translation department has changed its focus, to LGBT articles about non-English topics and people on which there may be more information on the relevant foreign Wikipedia. Please add your name if you are fluent in any language other than English.
  • Jumpaclass is picking up slowly, with nine people having entered. With over 2000 stubs we need to improve our article quality. Please sign up and get it going! Challenge another user to see how far you can jump a stub!
  • There is an ongoing discussion about the current LGBT categorisation system here, here, and a little bit here. A special page has now been set up here to deal with this.
  • A Watchlist has been set up to monitor controversial and/or highly vandalised articles. It can also be used for article disputes, just add a note explaining the nature of the dispute.
  • With the influx of so many active members, there is now enough support for a LGBT studies peer review, which may be found here. It's in the beta phase at the moment, so bear with us if we make any mistakes. Feel free to peer review any articles you have been working on.
  • It was agreed this month to start reducing the uses of the Notice board, as many members felt that it was not effective. An open tasks template has been created, bringing together important announcements, FAC/FARs, Peer reviews, XfDs, the COTM, and requested articles. You may desire to watchlist it. A Deletion sorting subpage is also now working to bring together XfDs - this should be bot-driven, but we have not currently tagged enough articles to make this fully automated, so please update the list with any LGBT-related XfDs you come across.

This campaign is supported by the Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group, an officially recognized affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation. The group's mission is to develop LGBT-related content across all Wikimedia projects, in all languages. Visit the affiliate's page at Meta-Wiki for more information, or follow Wikimedia LGBT+ on Facebook. Remember, Wiki Loves Pride is about creating and improving LGBT-related content at Wikimedia projects, and content should have a neutral point of view. One does not need to identify as LGBT or any other gender or sexual minority to participate. This campaign is about adding accurate, reliable information to Wikipedia, plain and simple, and all are welcome! If you have any questions, please leave a message on the campaign's talk page.
