It's licensed correct. And without my knowing of your position, the image couldn't have been appropriately tagged. But, since you included the information on the talk page, I'm fine with it. I'll withdraw the PUIdisputed tag and nomination. Thanks for helping clear this up. Lastly, since you seem to be editing the article about this group for which you are affiliated, you will want to read the conflict of interest policy. Thanks again. --MECU≈talk 13:39, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hi, MusicMen, 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, peer review and a project-wide article collaboration, all 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're planning to stay, have a square in our quilt! You can put anything you want in it. 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!

SFGMC

Thank you for the excellent updates and new block on the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus article. It seems you have culled some facts from the SFGMC website (and from GMCLA's website as Bruce Mayhall is their conductor, not SFGMC's). SFGMC's website is out-of-date, hence my revisions. FYI, SFGMC's new website will be launched in March. Thanks again, MusicMen 01:15, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I would be grateful if you would clarify the tag you added today. You tagged the article for "external links clean up". Each of the eight referenced links in the article relate specifically to the content, so I'm confused about the reason for the tag. However, if the tag is related to the "References" list at the end of the article (which are not linked to the article), that would make sense. I will remove many of these as they relate to content that has since been deleted from the article. MusicMen 19:24, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

yes...it's the list of links following the tag. i started going through them myself, but i didn't want to lose really some of the better links that might be integrated into the article--emerson7 | Talk 19:32, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

great, thanks. i'm going through them myself. i've removed some of the less relevant items and will investigate adding some detail to the article in due course. Is the tag still necessary? MusicMen 19:56, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

wow! i see you've been quit busy today! the only problem is with the image, which should be in the infobox. the only reason the other gay choruses have a logos only in their article, is logo images are free.

you left me a note about images, which i don't fully understand. sorry if i'm being daft, but could please explain further? thanks for your help. MusicMen 05:25, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

the image in the infobox is supposed to be that of the subject. in the infobox for some of the other gay men's choruses, i used the the fair use license for logos, because it was the only image available.

okay - fair enough. thanks - I'm still new to this. MusicMen 20:43, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Jump-a-class

Hi, MusicMen! I noticed you'd put San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus on the Jump-a-Class page. Are you aware of how the JaC is played? Most people start with "stub" articles and try to jump them up to Start or B. The goal is to see how far you can jump it in a week. Just thought you'd like to know :) -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 06:02, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

There is nothing wrong with doing Jump-a-class starting with a B article :) My reason for asking is that it means you have a week to get the article to GA or better - difficult, but a great challenge :) -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 21:26, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

LOL! I'll support you in any way I can :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SatyrTN (talk • contribs) 21:32, 8 March 2007 (UTC).
