== LGBT Project == |
|||
Hi, Samsonite07! |
|||
I see from your edits that you might be interested in the [[WP:LGBT|LGBT WikiProject]]. Take a look around, and if you ''are'' interested, [[WP:LGBT/M|sign up]]. |
|||
As a cautionary note, I've removed the project banner from most of the articles you added it to. |
|||
* [[Hadrian]] was a Greek pederast. Ancient Greek pederasty is totally different from LGBT culture today, so we usually refrain from adding the banner to those articles. |
|||
* [[Madonna]] may be bisexual, but it's not a big part of her, her work, or her article. |
|||
* [[Tom Byron]] is ''rumored'' to have done some gay porn, but without citations, it's just rumor. |
|||
I left the banner on [[Peter North (pornographic actor)]], since there are cited examples of his gay porn. |
|||
Before tagging any more articles, you might want to drop by the project and read through our scope. Feel free to drop a note on the [[WT:LGBT|project talk page]] if you want any clarification. Thanks - and happy editing!! -- <span style="background-color: #EECCFF;">[[User:SatyrTN|SatyrTN]]<span style="font-size: smaller;"> ([[User talk:SatyrTN|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SatyrTN|contribs]])</span></span> 04:33, 14 April 2007 (UTC) |

==Mistaken talk page warning== |
|||
Please accept my apologies for adding a vandalism warning to your talk page, I reviewed your edit and saw that the offending text was actually part of the URL, not text that you had posted. [[User:Neil916|Neil916]] ([[User Talk:Neil916|Talk]]) 07:19, 14 April 2007 (UTC) |

== Edit summaries == |
|||
Hello. When adding articles to categories, it's a good idea to state what you're doing in the edit summary. When adding [[Eleanor Roosevelt]], [[Alexander the Great]] and [[Tiberius]] to various LGBT categories, you simply summarised the edits as "alphabetise categories", which risks misleading people into thinking that the categories in which an article is included haven't been changed.
