It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work.  Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have '''feedback''' on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on [[User_talk:SuggestBot|SuggestBot's talk page]].  Thanks from [[User:ForteTuba|ForteTuba]], SuggestBot's caretaker.

==Poster==
No problem, I enjoy adding posters to films as it does make the article look so much better. I went through the film articles you created and added more posers when I was able. I also put up some infobox requests, so if you want to extend some of those articles you can possibly work on that. Also, try and make sure that you include the {{tl|Film}} template on the talk page each time that you create a new article so we can easily locate film articles. Keep up the good work, you are an asset to WP:Films! --[[User:Nehrams2020|Nehrams2020]] 22:08, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

<big>'''Hi, {{BASEPAGENAME}}, welcome to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies|WikiProject LGBT Studies]]!'''</big>

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 [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBT studies|main discussion page]]; it is highly recommended that you [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies|action=watch}} watchlist it].
* The project has several ongoing and developing activities, such as [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Assessment|article quality assessment]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Peer review|peer review]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Collaboration|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, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Jumpaclass|Jumpaclass]], so please consider signing up there.
* If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Translation|translation section]], to help us improve our foreign LGBT topics.
* If you're planning to stay, have a square in our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Quilt|quilt]]! You can put anything you want in it.

If you have any questions, feel free to [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBT studies|ask on the talk page]], and we will be happy to help you.

And once again - Welcome!

== Noah Fleiss ==

I know it's not much of a citation, but I have a copy of the family tree. :-D

Seriously, what sort of reference would mention that Noah's great-great and Heidi's great-great-great were brothers or cousins? As it is, most of the web is filled with the misinformation that he's her nephew, which (as I wrote at Talk:Noah_Fleiss) isn't true. If you have any suggestions, I'd welcome them.

how does the "one" fansite get picked then? because there was one there almost a year ago and mods kept deleting it. Now this one gets to stay? not fair.  [[User:EXXC3L|EXXC3L]] 17:51, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

well the one that is currently listed on the Channing Tatum page should definitely not be there. It's just a blog. There are fansites that have been on the web for much longer, and have much more information and facts.

; Project News
* We have another new department, '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Films/Categorization|Categorization]]''', with the ambitious goal of defining a clear categorization system for the thousands of film articles and other [[WP:FILMS]] pages. This involves improving the general order of [[:Category:Films]] and creating guidelines for which Categories are to be added in film articles. The department is having a difficult start, but look ahead to when we will have all of our articles not only assessed but properly categorized as well.
* While our '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Films/Peer_review|Peer Review Department]]''' has helped eight articles achieve [[WP:GA|good article]] status and two achieve [[WP:FA|featured article]] status, it would benefit from more participation.
*The project is currently in the process of attempting to '''add [[Template:Infobox Film|film infoboxes]]''' to all of our articles. There are approximately '''800''' articles tagged with {{tl|needs film infobox}}. Adding an infobox takes only a few minutes, so if you have the time, please consider helping to tackle these infobox requests. You can also consider adopting a section to tackle '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Films#Infoboxes|here]]'''.
*The project '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/List of films without article|List of films without article]]''' has extended its scope in three lists: One '''by decade''', compiling red-linked films found in various filmographies and articles, one '''by country''', compiling films from other countries and one '''by notability''', focusing mostly on awarded films.
*Thanks to the efforts of our members, we have over '''18,500 articles tagged'''!  The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Assessment|Assessment Department]] has more information on the statistics of our project.
*You may have noticed a '''new template''' on the talk pages of all of our '''stub-class articles'''. The template was added to provide instructions to editors on what additional information an article needs to be upgraded from a stub to a start class. If you see that the article meets the listed requirements, change the class to start, and the template will automatically be removed. Hopefully this template will help to improve the quality of articles within our project.
*There is also a '''new template''' that may be added to talk pages for articles that need a film-related image. This new template is {{tl|filmimage}}, which should be used instead of {{tl|reqscreenshot}} or {{tl|reqphoto}}. Talk pages that have this template are accessible from [[:Category:Wikipedia requested film images]].
*Several countries' film lists are also being developed. [[User:Ernst Stavro Blofeld|Ernst Stavro Blofeld]], after a hard start, has been working on the '''[[List of Austrian films|list of Austrian films]]''' and the '''[[List of Argentine films|list of Argentine films]]'''. He has encouraged several other members to work on other countries, and so [[User:Shawn in Montreal|Shawn in Montreal]] has started helping in the '''[[List of Canadian films|list of Canadian films]]'''. Our congratulations to all concerned editors' efforts. Keep up the good work!
*The '''[[Wikipedia:Cinema Collaboration of the Week|Collaboration Department]]''' has collaborated on two articles this month, [[Pulp Fiction]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pulp_Fiction_(film)&diff=98798851&oldid=96189028 improvements]) and [[A Trip to the Moon (film)|A Trip to the Moon]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=A_Trip_to_the_Moon_%28film%29&diff=101897944&oldid=98798296 improvements]).  The current article, '''''[[Film]]''''', was chosen on January 20 and will continue until February 3.
* '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Spotlight|Spotlight Update]]''':  Multiple films and film-related articles have reached GA and FA status in December and January. January so far has been our most successful month in improving articles to GA. Keep up the good work!

; Current proposals and discussions
The issue of which films are notable enough to be included in Wikipedia and what guidelines should apply has been recently discussed in [[Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Archive#Film Notability, and Notability in general|Village pump]], trying to clear out the issue. Additionally [[Wikipedia:Notability (films)]] has been changed from inactive to proposal (in development). Discussion or other constructive participation is most welcome.

We are currently thinking about creating a "Film Board" and a "Tech Board" for all help related to the management and operation of our project, both in the content areas and the technical ones. Also a "Translation Board" has been proposed to help with film articles from other Wikipedias.

; Project News
* The [[Portal:LGBT|LGBT Portal]] has once again been revamped and a [[Portal_talk:LGBT|work rota]] started. Efforts towards Featured Portal status are slowly coming together.
* The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies#Assessment|assessment]] system has been a great success, we have tagged over 4000 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.
* The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Translation|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.
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Jumpaclass|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 [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_LGBT_studies#Category_and_assessment_point.|here]], [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_LGBT_studies/Notice_board#Overlapping_categories|here]], and  [[Category talk:LGBT|a little bit here]]. A special page has now been set up [[Portal:LGBT/Categories|here]] to deal with this.
* A [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Translation|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Peer review|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Notice board|Notice board]], as many members felt that it was not effective. An [[Template:LGBT open tasks|open tasks]] template has been created, bringing together important announcements, FAC/FARs, Peer reviews, XfDs, the COTM, and requested articles. You may desire to [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Template:LGBT open tasks|action=watch}} watchlist] it. A [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Sexuality and gender|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.

== Fansites (again) ==

Hi,

Is there any way you could stop someone from spamming a page? Some girl is spamming the Channing Tatum page by adding her link. I'm trying to have a discussion about it so we can decide which site should be listed, but she keeps adding hers and isn't discussing anything. [[User:EXXC3L|EXXC3L]] 22:22, 1 February 2007 (UTC)


Hi,

If you will look at the talk page on Channing Tatum, you will see all three of the fan sites finally came to an agreement that they should all be there. I tried to discuss with the user above, but she started using inappropriate language in our discussions. You can read the talk page and see what I am talking about. She has a personal grudge against me, because she is jealous of my new blog. My site is currently linked to from MovieSet.com and I am contacted daily by industry insiders asking me to promote movie and DVD releases for the actor. This user is upset by this and is trying to cause trouble. If you will notice, the new news related to the actor has been reported on my site first and then reported on the other fan sites later. You can find me anywhere and everywhere on the net (Netscape, Digg, Technorati) just to name a few. You can even read the following press release to learn more about the blog: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2007/1/prweb499938.htm. She is unfairly trying to get my site removed even though I have the most up-to-date information about the actor currently. [[User:Wcfirm|Wcfirm]] 19:00, 12 February 2007 (UTC)]

==Links==
Hi. The links do not need to appear twice on the page. They are already at the bottom of the infobox. That is why the imdb_id and amg_id lines are there. [[User:Tim Long|Tim Long]] 22:50, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

==Helping out with the Unassessed Wikipedia Biographies==

Seeing that you are an active member of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biography | WikiBiography Project]], I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of unassessed articles tagged with <nowiki>{{WPBiography}}</nowiki>. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --[[User:Ozgod|Ozgod]] 20:15, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

; From the Editors

Everybody needs a break sometimes, and that might go for WikiProjects as well. But the WP:Biography newsletter is back from its hiatus, and the project is healthier than ever. With more than 250 active members and upwards of 20 admins, we are one of the biggest projects on wikipedia. But size doesn't matter - or so they say. The true measure of a wikiproject is how much it contributes to the betterment of wikipedia. Which means adding your name to the rolls wasn't enough. If you haven't already, it's time to step up and help out the project. Volunteer. Contribute. So take a look at the to-do list in this newsletter, and let's get going.

If you've just joined, add your name to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Members|Members]] section of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography]]. You'll get a mention in the next issue of the Newsletter and get it delivered [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Outreach#Special_delivery|as desired]]. Also, please include your own promotions and awards in future issues. Don't be shy!

Lastly, this is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Outreach/April 2007 Newsletter|next issue]] (Issue 2{{spaced ndash}}April 2007). Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned, or just start editing!

* 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!

*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Actors and Filmmakers|Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals]] currently has a new proposal for Wikiproject Actors and Filmmakers, a descendant project of both WP:Films and WP:Biography. Please join in the discussion for the implementation of this new project.
* We have now reached over '''22,000''' film articles that have been assessed by our '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Assessment|assessment department]]'''! Remember to always add the {{[[Template:Film|Film]]|class=}} template to a film article's talk page so the project can get a better idea of what work still needs to be done. Below is a table showing a breakdown of our articles by class and importance.
*There are now two new ways to help make the assessment of film articles even easier. On the main project page, there is a link to [[User:AlexNewArtBot/CinemaSearchResult]], where all newly created articles that possibly pertain to WP:Films are compiled in a list, using a bot that searches for select key words. In addition, a new script has been developed at [[User talk:Outriggr/metadatatest.js]] that allows articles to be assessed at a quicker rate. If you want to become more involved in assessing articles, please be sure to check out these new features.
*We have a new department this month, '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/List and navigation management|List and navigation management]]''', which will help us to improve the quality of our film lists and navigational templates through the standardization of formatting and content. Since it is brand new, the department needs input from as many members as possible to help ensure consensus and establish acceptable guidelines. Please stop by and join the discussions.
*The '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Collaboration|Collaboration Department]]''' has finished ''[[Un chien andalou]]'' earlier this week ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Un_chien_andalou&diff=117540352&oldid=114010259 improvements]) and started ''[[Casino Royale (2006 film)]]'' on Saturday.  The current collaboration is already a [[WP:GA|good article]] and may get close to a [[WP:FA|featured article]] by the time we are done with it!  The Collaboration Department has also helped with many of the most recent articles featured in our ''Spotlight Update''.
*The '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Films#Infoboxes|infobox requests]]''' are slowly going down, but there are still around 2050 requests.  It would benefit from more participation.
* '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Spotlight|Spotlight Update]]''':  Multiple films and film-related articles have reached GA and FA status in March 2007. This month, we have reached over '''50''' current GA articles.

'''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!

; Project News
*Two new WikiProjects have formed that relate to WP:Films. '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers|WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers]]''' has been started as a descendant of WP:Films and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography|WP:BIO]]. The project will help to improve the quality of articles on actors, directors, screenwriters, producers, cinematographers, film editors, and film score composers. '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject James Bond|WikiProject James Bond]]''' also formed this month and will help to improve [[James Bond]] films, books, characters, and other related articles. The projects each currently have memberships of 20 users, and are seeking new members. Stop by both of these new projects and see if they interest you.
* We have now reached over '''25,000''' film articles that have been assessed by our '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Assessment|assessment department]]'''! Remember to always add the {{[[Template:Film|Film]]|class=}} template to a film article's talk page so the project can get a better idea of what work still needs to be done. Below is a table showing a breakdown of our articles by class and importance.
*Films '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Films#Infoboxes|without infoboxes]]''' have increased from about 2,000 to just over 5,000 films with systematic tagging completed this month. There are also tallies for '''[[:Category:Wikipedia requested_film_images|requested film images]]''' (~7,000), articles that '''[[:Category:Films_that_need_a_synopsis|need synopsis]]''' (~4,100) and articles that '''[[:Category:Articles_that_need_a_cast_section|need cast section]]''' (~400).
* '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Spotlight|Spotlight Update]]''':  Multiple films and film-related articles have reached GA and FA status in April 2007.

Awards to be won range from delicacies such as the [[:Template:WikiCookie|WikiCookie]] to the great [[:Image:Goldenwiki_2.png|Golden Wiki Award]].<br>
There are '''over 110,000''' articles to assess so please visit the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biography/Assessment/Assessment_Drive|drive's page]] and help out!

This drive was conceived of and organized by [[User:The_Psychless|Psychless]] with the help of [[User:Ozgod|Ozgod]].

'''Monthly Challenge''': June ''Stub Review''!  Take a moment and sift through the [[:Category:Stub-Class LGBT articles|roughly 3,600 Stub-class]] LGBT articles.  Are they still stubs?  If not, make an assessment change.  Even better, do you see anything you can add/edit to increase the rating? Let's see if the project can lower the number of stubs down below 3,000!

Hi Brian, How you been. You are right both articles are identical, written on the same day by the same person. I of them should be deleted. Which one? It's a toss-up, it doesn't matter which one.  You pick the one. [[User:Marine 69-71|Tony the Marine]] 20:40, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

; Project News
*  We have now reached over '''27,600''' film articles that have been assessed by our '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Assessment|assessment department]]'''! Remember to always add the {{[[Template:Film|Film]]|class=}} template to a film article's talk page so the project can get a better idea of what work still needs to be done. Below is a table showing a breakdown of our articles by class and importance.
* As a result of recent discussions and polls on the use of the '''[[:Template:Spoiler|spoiler warning]]''', the template should not be added to "Plot" or "Synopsis" related sections as the heading makes the use of the spoiler template redundant. For more information, see [[Wikipedia:Spoiler]].
* The current '''[[Wikipedia:Cinema Collaboration of the Week|Cinema Collaboration of the week]]''' is '''''[[Monster (film)|Monster]]'''''. Go to the article page to help contribute on improving the article and visit the CCOTW page to vote on the next collaboration. Current candidates include [[1960s in film]], ''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark]]'', ''[[Final Destination]]'', and ''[[The Departed]]''.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Good article candidates]]''' could use more assistance in reducing the backlog. There are currently several film-related articles that can be reviewed by any editor, as long as they follow the requirements of the '''[[WP:WIAGA|GA criteria]]'''. Please help determine if the nominees are GA-quality.

* '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Spotlight|Spotlight Update]]''':  Multiple films and film-related articles have reached GA and FA status in June 2007. We now have over '''50''' [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|featured articles]]!

* Our Deputy Coordinators have been doing a fabulous job so far. Well done!
* The portal is now looking very snazzy, well done to [[User:Fireplace|Fireplace]] for all his hard work.
* The list of LGBT people [[Wikipedia:List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people/To be sorted|to be sorted]] has now beed reduced by 20%. Please help us with it, all of us adding just one person a day would have a dramatic effect!
* The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Core topics|Core Topics]] is now largely complete. The original aim of getting some kind of publication out of it is extremely long term - any short term uses we can make of it are welcome on the [[WT:LGBT|project talkpage]].
* A suggestion was made this month that we start our own wiki. Although the conclusion was that we felt we were a part of Wikipedia rather than a stand alone organisation, it seems there is an LGBT wiki already, at http://lgbt.wikia.com/wiki/Main_page . Members may be interested in getting involved there.
* The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Collaboration|Collaboration]] is now getting rather short on suggestions. Article nominations for August through December would be welcome on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBT studies/Collaboration|talkpage]].
* There is now a list of [[User:Skysmith/Missing topics about LGBT|Missing LGBT Topics]]. Help is needed to work out which topics can be made redirects or need to be created. Please contribute is you can.
* An LGBT banner that was created for Wikipedia's internal ads system has now been adapted so it can be placed on blogs and websites. The html is <nowiki><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:LGBT"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/Qxz-ad48.gif" height="53" width="445"></a></nowiki> Please credit [[User:Miranda|Miranda]] and link to her userpage: <nowiki><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Miranda">Miranda</a></nowiki>. The banner can be seen in action [http://wikipedian.blogspot.com/2007/06/new-banner-testing.html here]. If you have a blog or a website, please consider adding the banner, either in a post or as part of your profile.

* Two new templates are available for assisting in adding fair use rationales for film-related images that need them. '''[[:Template:Filmrationale]]''' can be included on the image page for posters, screenshots, and VHS/DVD covers while '''[[:Template:Filmbiorationale]]''' can be used for deceased actors. By adding fair use rationales for the many images the project includes, we can help ensure that various images are not deleted for lacking a FUR.
* '''[[List of American films]]''' has been developed, and could currently use some assistance in developing each of the years, beginning in the 1890s to 2009. Each year needs to have the list of films converted to wikilinks within tables that also contain the director, cast, and genre of the film. Consider tackling a year or assisting in sorting a few films when you have the time.
* After a discussion on the main [[WT:FILMS|project talk page]], a '''policy was proposed''' and discussion started on its talk page.  This policy, [[Wikipedia:Citing IMDb]], was later rejected by the community.  However, please keep in mind that certain aspects of it can be taken into account by article writers as guidelines.
* '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Spotlight|Spotlight Update]]''':  Multiple films and film-related articles have reached GA and FA status in this issue date July 2007.

==Hi back==
Nice to get a message for once that isn't "business-related" &mdash; I am often up late on WP myself, sometimes drunk-typing, heh heh. Oh, and I stole one of your userboxes, made me laugh. ;) [[User:TAnthony|TAnthony]] 06:06, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

== Death Sentence ==

You're right; I fixed it. ←[[User:BenB4|Ben]]<sup>[[User talk:BenB4|B4]]</sup> 00:17, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

==I want to do something concrete==
I've been a member of this WikiProject for quite a while, but haven't been very active.  Thus far. all I've done is created a few articles loosely related to the project.  I'd like to contribute in a more meaningful way.  If anyone is currently involved in any side projects and would like help...I'd appreciate if you'd get in contact with me on my talk page. -[[User:Brian1979|FateSmiled&amp;DestinyLaughed]] 14:22, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
:Know anything about fiction?  A couple people have recently noticed that there isn't a "[[List of LGBT characters in written fiction]]", which could be formatted like "[[List of dramatic television series with LGBT characters]]".

'''Message from Coordinator''': It's been almost two months since the last newsletter came out, so there are a fair few people who haven't really been kept up with our project. I'd like to welcome all those who have joined and those who have returned, and strongly reccommend that you use [[WT:LGBT|the talkpage]] for any queries or problems you have. Happy editing!

;Article News
* The ongoing effort to create a [[Wikipedia:List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people/To be sorted|comprehensive list of LGB people]] has begun to bear fruit - [[List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people/A|/A]] AND the [[List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people/W-Z|/W-Z]] lists have been featured! Congratulations to Dev920 and SatyrTN who nominated them respectively. Please consider pitching in the the remaining lists to help us get them finished before the end of the year.

;Project News
* WP:LGBT now has an IRC channel! It is #LGBTProject on Freenode. Users without IRC or Xchat can use the java app at java.freenode.net to access the channel from their web browser. Hope to see you in there sometime!
* David Shankbone has taken a LOT of [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_LGBT_studies#Some_recent_Shankbone_LGBT_photos|photos]]. An idea has been mooted to create a page for listing people who are willing to take images in their area on request, please give your thoughts [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_LGBT_studies#Photo_workgroup|here]].
* Considerable discussion has recently been held on our coverage of same sex marriage, civil unions and domestic partnerships. You may be interested to [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_LGBT_studies/Archive_8#.22Same-sex_marriage_in_....22_v._.22Civil_unions_in_the_....22|read it]].
* The list of LGBT people [[Wikipedia:List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people/To be sorted|to be sorted]] has now been reduced by over 30%. Please help us with it, all of us adding just one person a day would have a dramatic effect!
* A gay cabal conspiracy ghost has been created to do with what you will. :)

The LGBT studies project has been rather quiet of late.  Though we've added over 180 new members in the last year, only a small percentage are active participants. If you haven't visited our project or talk page in a while, please stop by for a look. Also, if you happen to bump into another editor who you feel might enjoy working with us, please extend an invitation. There's lot's do do, and the active members would sincerely appreciate some help.

Welcome to the 11 new members that joined us in September: [[User:Bu852|Bu852]], [[User:JuniorMuruin|JuniorMuruin]], [[User:Laualoha|Laualoha]], [[User:JereKrischel|JereKrischel]], [[User:Dybryd|Dybryd]], [[User:Sexperts|Sexperts]], [[User:Ctjf83|Ctjf83]], [[User:Allstarecho|Allstarecho]], [[User:Johnandbob|Johnandbob]], [[User:Carlossuarez46|Carlossuarez46]], and [[User:Carterdriggs|Carterdriggs]]!

;[[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Peer review|LGBT Project Peer review]]
Our Peer review project is struggling at the present, with only a few people reviewing the articles. While it is certainly possible to submit articles for a general peer review, a review by members of the LGBT community can be of additional value for LGBT specific writing. There are several articles currently up for review on a wide range of topics. At the very least, reading the articles will undoubtedly broaden your intellectual horizons :-)

;[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Sexuality and gender|Deletion discussions]]
At the moment, [[David Le Brocq]], [[Malmö Devilants]] and [[Trajectory Hermeneutics]] are up for deletion review. Please take a look at them and make your voice heard at the deletion review. Articles nominated for deletion also present a challenge for improvement. See what you can do, and watchlist our deletion review page.

;FA & GA article news
Since our last newsletter, [[Fun Home]] and [[GayFest]] have been promoted to [[WP:Good article|Good Article status]]. Congratulations to all editors who have worked so hard to improve them! While [[List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: T-V|the T-Z list]] was promoted to [[Wikipedia:Featured list|Featured list]] on [[September 26]], [[2007]], we have had no articles reach [[WP:Featured article|Featured Article]] status since [[Homer's Phobia]] was promoted last March. In fact, one article of our Project was delisted: [[Andrew Van De Kamp]]. Please take a look at out listed articles and see if you'd like to try to take one to Featured status (there are almost 8,000 to choose from). Additionally, [[Conversion therapy]] has been nominated for Featured status. Please read the article and give feedback at the [[WP:FAC|Feartured Article Candidates page]]. (See also [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/FA-class articles|our FA-class list]].)

;Pederasty article controversy
The [[Pederasty]] articles continue to be a point of controversy both within and outside of our community. Various editors have suggested that to include them as LGBT Project related somehow taints the project and brings Wikipedia into disrepute. Other editors have stated that the articles, and especially the Pederasty article, are part of the core of LGBT studies. Well meaning editors continue to remove our tags from the articles themselves as well as the talk pages. If you have time, please read the articles and watchlist them to protect them from vandalism and well meaning but counterproductive edits.

;[[List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people]]
The list of LGBT people has survived its 4th nomination for deletion. Please watchlist this list to protect it from vandalism and unsourced additions. There are many in Wikipedia who would like to see this Featured status list removed from the project. It is up to us to keep it to such a high caliber that it never is removed.

;[[User:DavidShankBone|David Shankbone]]
Our project member David Shankbone is now working as a journalist for [[Wikinews]], as well as continuing to improve our project and Wikipedia as a whole with his photographs. A sincere thank you goes out to him for all of his hard work. Wikipedia would not shine nearly as brightly without your contributions, David.

;[[Barbara Gittings]]
[[Image:Rainbowghost.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Happy Halloween, everybody! Be happy and celebrate!]]
The surviving life partner of prominent LGBT rights activist Barbara Gittings recently called one of our editors and, among other things, complimented us on what a great job our project is doing on Wikipedia. Thanks to everyone who contributes to this project, either through their article edits or support for other project members. We really are making an difference here!

;Member assistance
Some of our project members have been having difficulties related to editing on the encyclopedia. If you are feeling frustrated or distressed by your editing experience, please don't keep it to yourself. Wikipedia is a collaborative effort, and we are all here to help one another. Drop a line on our talkpage or on another editor's page, and other members of the LGBT project will happily give you the support you want and need.

Lastly, [[Halloween]] is just around the corner. More than most holidays, Halloween is a holiday embraced by and tailor made to our community (though God only knows why we are invisible in the Halloween article here. Perhaps somebody would like to rectify that editing oversight). Have fun, everybody, and remember to both trick '''''and''''' treat!

__NOTOC__
Hey, [[Peeps]], it's that time of the month again (no not '''''[[Menstruation|that time]]''''' &mdash; get your mind out of the gutter): time for another monthly edition of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies|LGBT Project's]] [[Love Boat]] newsletter from your [[Cruising for sex|cruise director]] [[Lauren Tewes|Miss Julie]]. So much has been happening this month and I just can't wait to tell you all about it!!!
{{clear}}
{| style="font-size: 90%;"
|-
| valign="top" |
===Alice and her harasser===
Let's start with some good news: [[User:AliceJMarkham|Alice]] and the project lost the bothersome sock puppet who had been disrupting many articles we monitor, and now most of us can edit in relative peace. Congratulations, Alice, for being able to come out of semi-retirement. [[User:Benjiboi|Benjiboi]], on the other hand, has gained an anonymous IP stalker who seems to be more Catholic than the Pope and who has a hard-on for the [[Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence]]. We seem to have a sort of [[Yin and Yang]] thing going on here, which helps both to keep us in balance and on our toes <bright smiles all around>.

===Harry Potter and his homosexual teacher===
[[Albus Dumbledore]] got [[outing|outed]] this month, and was immediately adopted by our project. The international brouhaha surrounding this disclosure reached all the way to Wikiland, and his article was briefly locked due to homophobic vandalism (as well as well meaning editors who just couldn't believe that that nice man could possibly be gay). This is a wonderful article to add to your watchlist, and will surely give you hours of reverting fun on cold winter days.

==="My Fellow Americans"===
On a more serious note, [[User:Fireplace|Fireplace]] has suggested a new article series about LGBT rights in the United States, state by state. This ambitious topic will surely require many editors and a lot of research, but has the potential to add further prestige to our already prestigious project.

===Same name, same sexuality: a riddle for the ages===
[[Francis Bacon]] (not the [[Francis Bacon (painter)|new gay one]], but the old gay one ... though they're actually both dead, now that I think about it) has also aroused passions here on Wikipedia, with editors opposing his sexuality being disclosed in his biography. The always helpful [[User:Haiduc|Haiduc]] has thoughtfully provided any number of sources, but it is slow going getting his point across. Anyone want to lend a hand?

===Beat writer arouses Irish guy===
And speaking of passions, [[Jack Kerouac]] has inflamed the senses once again with editors, including administrator [[User:Irishguy|Irishguy]], mounting a spirited defense to keep him as heterosexual as possible for Wikipedia purposes. Why? I don't know. Perhaps some of you can drop by the [[Talk:Jack Kerouac|talk page]] and ask your questions there. I feel certain a stimulating debate will ensue that will be enjoyed by all.

===Love those Texas Longhorns===
Did you know that one of our [[WP:FA|Featured articles]], [[Lawrence v. Texas]], lost its shiny gold star? That was a shocker. It has been suggested that we turn our attention to it in an effort to restore it to its former glory. I took a peek, and it does need our help badly. For our American editors, it would seem almost a [[Active citizenship|civic duty]] to edit it (not that I'm hinting....).

===Point and Counterpoint===
Though it was far too intellectual a debate for a mere cruise director like myself to take part in, [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBT studies/Archive 10#Intersexuality as part of project scope?|Intersexuality]] was certainly a hot topic a week or two ago. The thrust of the debate was over inclusion in our project. Lots of good editors had lots of good opinions. For those too lazy to check out the discussion, we decided to leave it out for now.

===Drudgery on offer===
[[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Peer review|Peer review]] is, as always, short staffed and seemingly unloved. Wouldn't you feel better about yourself and the world in general if you took a few minutes to read one of the listed articles and offer some helpful advice? I know I'd feel better if you did.
| valign="top" |
==="My Fellow Americans" redux===
The article [[LGBT movements in the United States]] certainly raised eyebrows last week, especially when it was discovered that copyrighted content had been added to our article. Tragedy was averted at the last minute, though, when the original hosts of the article where the material had been pilfered agreed to make it [[GDFL|free to everyone.]] Our thanks to them, whoever they are. Busy Bee that I am, I haven't had time to read it, but I'm sure it's sensational.

===This month's Wiki stars===
[[Lesbian pulp fiction]] (a genre close to my heart, I must confess) writer [[Ann Bannon]] has decided to spice up [[WP:FAC|the featured articles candidates list]] this month. Why not drop by and make your opinion heard? Joining her in this lofty aspiration are the articles '''''[[But I'm a Cheerleader]]''''' and '''''[[Conversion therapy]]'''''. I'm sure their main editors would welcome any comments (well, helpful ones, anyway) on the talk pages or the FAC discussions. And lest we forget, the [[List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: Sd-Si]] became a [[WP:FL|Featured list!!]] Rah rah, siskumbah! ''Go, team, '''GO!!!!'''''

===And the Oscar goes to...===
Not content to run for [[WP:FA|Best Actress]], plucky Bannon won a [[WP:GA|Best supporting actress Oscar]]... whoops, I meant to say Ann is also getting more than her share of womanly attention on the Good Article list. Joining her on this exalted plane are [[Freddy Mercury]], [[Waylon Smithers]] and [[Lance Bass]]. Good articles indeed, and the last one mentioned just goes to show that one needn't admire the subject of an article to appreciate the effort put into making him worthwhile reading. What on earth [[Britney Spears|Britney]] ever saw in him I'll never know. Truly a riddle cloaked in an enigma and wrapped around a puzzle.

=== Fresh faces to brighten our pages ===
Though I may not be the first, let me extend a warm, LGBT Love Boat welcome to the 12 new members who joined us in October: [[User:Jliberty|Jliberty]], [[User:JockCub360|JockCub360]], [[User:ChristopherEdwards|ChristopherEdwards]], [[User:Desiderius82|Desiderius82]], [[User:Zlrussell|Zlrussell]], [[User:Kelsied|Kelsied]], [[User:BeardedWoof|BeardedWoof]], [[User:Mujerado|Mujerado]], [[User:Tyrfing|Tyrfing]], [[User:Fabgurrl|Fabgurrl]], [[User:Redl@nds597198|Redl@nds597198]], and [[User:decafdyke|decafdyke]]! Whatever you choose to do here, I feel sure that your contributions will enhance our project to no end. And if they don't...well, let's just say that I'm not shy.

===Leather and lace===
On a personal note, your already overworked cruise director is being cyberly whipped almost daily by [[User:Nemissimo|Nemissimo]], who desperately wants to get the [[Talk:BDSM/Translation|German BDSM translation]] copy edited and used as a replacement for the current one. It's such a ... err, stimulating topic that I am sure many of you will want to join the copy editing fun. Jump right in, folks! It's so lonely copy editing it all by my lonesome!

===Late breaking news===
A little birdie just whispered in my ear that our noble [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Collaboration|collaboration project]] was delisted from the [[Wikipedia:Community Portal|Community Portal]] due to inactivity. When asked how this scandalous turn of events could have occurred, the answer I received was "we suck at stuff like that". Well. In the first place, I disagree that [[Oral sex|sucking]] should be considered a negative, but to each his or her own. In the second place, I have full confidence that we can and will collaborate with other projects in the future. So let's not view this as a setback (even though it is), but rather a ''challenge to improve'' (and good Lord, I sound almost [[Nerd|Wikipedian!]]).

===Champagne dreams and caviar kisses===
[[Image:Queer turkey.png|right|140px]]
Lastly, the holidays are rapidly approaching. Our [[United States|American]] cousins are currently getting ready to slaughter masses of [[Turkey (bird)|poultry]] in an effort to show their gratitude and generally peaceful demeanor, and those of the [[Canadian]] persuasion, trendsetters that they are, celebrated a bit early this year. I'm sure all us foreigners will join together in wishing them all a very happy [[Thanksgiving]] on their respective holidays, both already celebrated and forthcoming... though I would hope somebody would enlighten me as to why they don't celebrate it on the same day. I was awake all last night trying to figure that one out.

In the spirit of this peculiarly North American holiday, let me take a moment to thank all of our editors for their contributions to this project. It's people like you who make people like me...well, a [[People (song)|"people person"]]! May all your Wiki days be bright, and may your [[Love Boat]] never turn into a [[The Poseidon Adventure (film)|Poseidon]].

Kisses,

[[User:Jeffpw|Miss Julie]]

[[Happy Xmas (War Is Over)|Here comes Santa Claus, Here comes Santa Claus, right down Santa Claus lane!]] Ho, ho ho (but not '''''that''''' kind of [[prostitute|ho]]!) and [[Merry Christmas]], everybody! Yes, that's right. It's time for the [[A Partridge Family Christmas Card|Christmas edition]] of the [[WP:GAY|LGBT]] [[Love Boat]] newsletter. This [[Homosexuality|homo]] [[The Poseidon Adventure (film)|Love Boat]] is cruising into Christmas and counting down the days to a [[New Year's Eve|brand new year!]] It doesn't matter if you're [[Christian]] or belong to some [[Jewish|other]], [[Islam|more obscure]] [[Hindu|sect]]. [[Religious fanaticism|Jesus loves you]] one and all, so let's curl up around the fire, sing some [[Christmas carol|carols]], drink some [[Alcoholism|egg nog]], and have a [[Queer|gay old time]]. But before we do, perhaps your [[Cocaine dependence|chipper]] [[Cruising for sex|cruise director]] [[Lauren Tewes|Miss Julie]] should spread the [[Transgender|gender bendin']] news from [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBT studies|everyone's favorite project....

<b id="news_quelle">Quelle Suprise! [[James I of England|King James]] is a Queen!</b><br>
Our dear [[User:Haiduc|Haiduc]], never a stranger to controversy, recently decided to delve into the [[Closeted|wardrobe]] of the [[British Monarchy]], and what did he discover? King James had more than appreciative eyes for [[Twink|strapping young men!]] Naturally, Haiduc felt the need to share this news with the community, but instead of being praised for his scholarship, he was reviled. In fact, one rabid heterocentrist even rummaged around in his own wardrobe until he found an old pair of [[WP:SOCK|socks]] to play with. All seemed lost until astute editor [[User:Jeffpw|Jeffpw]] noticed some odd postings and did some sleuthing of his own. The socks were uncovered, the [[Puppet Master (film)|Wicked Witch]] was [[WP:BLOCK|melted]] and readers the world over were able to learn that Good King James regularly ordered tube steak from the menu of the day. Thank you, Haiduc! Thank you, Jeff! And let Miss Julie add (for readers who [[Lesbian|might not know]]) that [[Penis|tube steak]] tastes just like [[Chicken (gay slang)|chicken]]!

[[Image:Xmas-jeeny-tree.png|thumb]]
<b id="news_britney">[[Britney Spears|It's Britney, Bitch!]]</b><br>
Well, maybe it's not Miss Thang, herself, but it's the next best thing: [[Chris Crocker (Internet celebrity)|Chris Crocker]]! he stirs up just about as much controversy as his idol does, even here on Wikipedia. Though it's all a bit of  a muddle, one of our editors hopes you can drop by the talk page and leave a message of hope for those battling the forces of obstructionism in that little corner of the Wiki World. It is so hard to spread enlightenment. As [[Dorothy Parker|Miss Parker]] herself said, "You can lead a whore to culture, but you can't make her think".

<b id="news_gameshow">[[Wikipedia:The Core Contest|Game show for nerds]]</b><br>
Wallowing in cash from the latest [http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate beg-a-thon], the powers-that-be have decided to sponser a little contest here to improve the articles, with a Grand prize of $100. Yeah. Just enough for a [[Burger King]] dinner for the family. Still, the thought is nice and the goal is noble, so we should support it. Our little Queer beehive has taken a look at what's on offer, and both the [[Gay|Greek Traditionalists]] and [[Lesbian|Daughters of Bilitis]] are well represented. The ever useful [[User:SatyrTN|SatyrTN]] has made a little list, which can be found [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBT studies#Core Contest|here]] (if that malignant bot hasn't archived it already, that is). So find a pal, roll up your sleeves and dive right in. Let's show this Encyclopedia just what Queers with firecrackers up their....err, I mean, let's show the others what we can do.

<b id="news_jonsi">[[Jón Þór Birgisson]]</b><br>
I can't pronounce his name, but he's awfully cute, he's deliciously foreign, and best of all...he's '''''GAY!''''' But he won't be for long, if [[Homophobia|certain users]] have their way. A concerted effort has been under way for a while now, designed to neuter poor Jon (pretend I put a little accent thingy over that O) and make him into a sort of rockin' [[Ken (Barbie)|Ken doll]]. So please watchlist this hunka man, and '''''keep him queer'''''! If anybody questions you, tell them "Miss Julie sent me".

[[Image:Transsanta.png|TranSanta|thumb|left]]
<b id="news_sequel">Everybody loves a sequel</b><br>
Readers not afflicted with [[Alzheimer's]] will remember that last month we had a little story about [[User:Jeffpw/sandbox#Alice and her harasser|Alice and her harasser]]. That proved so popular that we bring you the sequel: [[User:Benjiboi|Benjiboi]] and his stalker. After a chance meeting at the [[Michael Lucas (porn star)|Michael Lucas article]], this anonymous user took a shine to our Benjiboi, and has been showering him with attention on virtually every board on Wikipedia. Flattered though he is, Benjiboi finds the attention a bit distracting, and administrators have been seeking various remedies for this. It has proven difficult, as the stalker has an IP address that changes quicker than [[Superman]] in a telephone booth. So perhaps some of you would like to watchlist Benjiboi's page, and lend a hand if you see some love letters from an 11 digit friend. I was actually thinking we should get Alice's harasser and Benjiboi's stalker together. Then we could have another sequel, sort of like [[Freddy vs. Jason]]. Any bets as to who would win??

<b id="news_special">Not quite the second coming, but special just the same</b><br>
Let me be the first to give a warm, wet, Love Boat kiss (though not with tongue) to our newest Project members: [[User:Jacksinterweb|Jacksinterweb]], [[User:Cleduc|Cleduc]], [[User:Pigman|Pigman]], [[User:Becksguy|Becksguy]] and [[User:Iamandrewrice|Iamandrewrice]]. Even in the month of our Saviour's birth, your popping into our Wikipedian lives is a blessed event indeed. As Jesus Himself said, [[Vulcan salute|"Live long and prosper".]] He did say that, didn't he? I think he said it. In any event, if he was standing next to me now, I'm sure he'd say it, and add, "Happy homo editing!"

<b id="news_battle">Battle of the Wikipedia Stars!</b><br>
Indomitable [[Ann Bannon]] is holding her own in Wikipedia's answer to [[American Idol]]: [[WP:FAC|The Featured Article candidate list!]] For four feverish weeks, she has mastered the challenges and not been eliminated from the competition. Drop by the FAC page and show Ann you love her....or give her the hook (I'm not supposed to tell you how to vote). Giving our plucky Ann reason to hope is the recent promotion of [[List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: Sa-Sc]]. If Miss Julie has her way, we will have the entire alphabet of Queerdom Featured here on Wikipedia soon! And I would be remiss if I did not give a warm, Lesbian salute to our own [[User:Belovedfreak|Belovedfreak]], who showed Wikipedia with [[But I'm a Cheerleader]] that even [[Pom pom|pom poms]] are no protection from the Love that dare not speak its name, and got a [[WP:FA|gold star]] for her efforts.

Climbing the Wikipedia career ladder is [[User: Tim1965]], who has not only written, but is now promoting [[Reel Affirmations]] to [[WP:GAC|Good article status]]. Best of luck, Tim, and remember: there are no small parts, only small actors. We're sure you'll be trading that green circle for a gold star soon (assuming you get the green in the first place!).

[[Image:LGBTsleigh.png|Santa's on his gay way!|thumb]]
<b id="news_needelves">Santa needs elves</b><br>
Yes, I know: packages need buying, trees need trimming, egg nog needs drinking. The holidays make many demands on our time. It's ...well, it's a bitch, is what it is. So I wouldn't blame you for skipping this little section and putting off my request until next year. But...think of the children. Our future. They need quality information about the homosexual "lifestyle" if we are to [[Homosexual recruitment|indoctrinate them properly]]. That's why I am asking you to drop by [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Peer review|our Peer review area]] and give your meaning as to the efforts of your fellow gay Wikipedians. And think: in this season of kindness and good will to all, isn't it nice that I am pointing you to someplace where you can (in a Wikiloving way, of course) rip someone a new asshole? Think about it...and those children with their shiny, bright eyes, thanking you for contributing to their future.

Even more festively, consider joining in on the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Sexuality and gender|deletion discussions]] of our favorite articles. Here you can bandy about such words as "homophobia", "Right-wing Christian agenda" and my personal favorite, "just who do you think you're pushing around?!?!?". If you play your cards right, there might even be an [[WP:BLOCK|extra present under the tree]] for you. :-D

<b id="news_urgeappeal">Urgent Christmas appeal</b><br>
[[User:Tovojolo|Tovojolo]] asked me to ask you to edit [[Elizabeth Bishop]] as part of the Collaboration Project. She's an old dead poet (Miss Bishop, not Tovojolo. I've never actually met Tovojolo. She's probably very young and attractive. Maybe somebody should ask if she's single), but she was a flaming homosexual long before most of us had even been conceived, so we owe her some respect. Tovojolo actually asked me for the last newsletter, but Miss Julie forgot. Bad Miss Julie. She was so busy boosting morale it just slipped right by her. [[User:Nemissimo|Nemissimo]], maybe you need to [[BDSM|crack that whip]] again to get Julie back in line.

<b id="news_dorothy">Surrender, Dorothy!!!!!!!</b><br>
[[Friend of Dorothy]] has attracted the attention of a group of....the more senior elements of our gay society. They disagree with our thesis that [[Judy Garland|Saint Judy]] was the possible source of the term, and demand we change the article to reflect their contention that [[Dorothy Parker]] was the origin. The problem is, their source didn't check out. So we agreed to disagree. Well, we at the project did. They got kinda mad at us, said unkind things, and started edit warring. Though they are old, they are certainly quick, and could revert the article faster than my nimble fingers could press the undo button. To quote the divine Miss Parker, every time I saw the article on my watchlist, I thought to myself, ''"What fresh hell is this?"''. The page was protected by sympathetic administrators, but keeping an eye on it will keep Dorothy safe from [[Margaret Hamilton|future Wicked Witches of the West or East.]]

<b id="news_ambrosia">Ambrosia</b><br>
Our dear [[User:Benjiboi|Benjiboi]] has been busy indeed, lately. He recently made fruit salad out of [[Fruit (slang)|Fruit]], turning a once nasty word into a damn good article, and saving it from deletion! Congratulations, Benjiboi! I hear he has turned his attention from fruit to [[Chicken (gay slang)|poultry]] now. Before he is through, he will have turned every major food group gay on Wikipedia!

<b id="news_early">Christmas came early</b><br>
Yes, indeed! Valued administrator [[User:WJBscribe|WJBscribe]] was raised out of the mire of mid-level management and placed squarely into the [[WP:Bureaucrat|Pantheon of Bureaucracy!]] And Miss Julie is just too proud of him not to mention that '''''he got the most support votes in the history of Wikipedia'''!'' Congratulations, WJB! We know you will not prove [[The Peter Principle|the Peter Principle]] correct!

<b id="news_you">You!</b><Br>
Yes, '''''you'''''! It's '''''you''''' who make this project shine! It's '''''you''''' who make Wikipedia such a valuable resource for all humanity! And it's '''''you''''' who make Miss Julie's dull life just a little bit better. So I want to take this moment to thank each and every one of '''''you''''' for all '''''you''''' do here. [[Christmas|Merry Christmas]], everybody! [[Hanukkah|Happy Hanukkah]]! [[Kwanzaa|Festive Kwanzaa!]] [[Dong Zhi|Delirious Dong Zhi!]] [[Diwali|Delicious Diwali!]] And for our [[LGBT rights in Iran|oppressed Iranian brothers and sisters]], I wish you a [[Yalda|safe and joyous Yalda]]. And if I didn't mention '''''your''''' favorite December holiday, well, it's because I feel it's so special I should just keep it between you and me. Always remember: [[You Light Up My Life (song)|'''''You''''' light up my life!]]

May we all have a joyous holiday season, and a safe, healthy, happy and prosperous 2008.

With love from [[User:Jeffpw|Miss Julie]]

Ms Julie is .. unavailable .. this month, so Isaac and Gopher have stepped in to put this newsletter thing together. We may not be as funny as you're used to, but if you'd like a free drink, come see me at the bar.  That might help.  Maybe. And no, there aren't any flashing lights or fancy pictures this month - I'm still recovering from a whopping hangover.  Julie's recovering too, but that's a story I'll let her tell.

;Two New Featured Articles (and...)
* [[Emma Goldman]] was promoted to Featured status on [[2007]] [[December 27]]. If you don't know Ms. Goldman, she was a Lithuanian anarchist.  Aren't many of those around, really, so having one of our very own is special.  She'll be dancing the Cha-Cha on the Promenade deck later tonight.
* [[Ann Bannon]] was promoted to Featured status on [[2007]] [[December 3]]. Faithful readers may remember [[User:Moni3|Moni]] moaning that we didn't mention this promotion in the last newsletter.  Happy now?
* [[Ludwig Wittgenstein]] seems to have been [[Wikipedia:Featured article review/Ludwig Wittgenstein/archive1|dropped from the vaunted roles]] - he was downgraded to "B class" on [[29 December]] [[2007]].  What a way to end the year!
* Let's see - we started December with 35 FAs.  We added two and dropped one.  So somewhere there's a missing FA - has anyone seen one lying around?

;Jumpaclass Contest winner
The winner of 2007's [[WP:LGBT/J|Jumpaclass competition]] is {{User|Fluffball70}}! Congratulations, Fluffball! Despite strongly being urged to select [[Love Boat]] as the next [[WP:LGBT/C|WikiProject Collaboration]], she has chosen [[LGBT Symbols]] as her prize: please contribute to its improvement - or [[WP:LGBT/J|enter the competition]] for this year!

; Ze [[P:LGBT|Portal]]
The marathon efforts of Dev920 against her astonishing abilities of procrastination continued this month, and she managed to update the [[P:LGBT|Portal]]'s main articles. Whether she will finally beat her procrastination pixies in submission and update the biographies remains to be seen, but Jeffpw has leapt to the rescue and taken it upon himself to do all our lovely news. [[Friends of Dorothy|Friends]], lend us your goodwill and your eyeballs, and mosey on over to see all Jeff's hard work.

Also, back in October 2007, [[User:Allstarecho|Allstarecho]] and [[User:Benjiboi|Benjiboi]] worked diligently on the "WP:LGBT Random Quote" and "WP:LGBT Random Picture" sections of the portal. They added many new quotes and pictures but, and yes here's the cat's meow friends... you can now use these on your own user pages! To add the "WP:LGBT Random Quote" to your own userpage, use: '''<nowiki>{{Portal:LGBT/Quotes}}</nowiki>''' And to add the "WP:LGBT Random Picture" to your own userpage, use: '''<nowiki>{{Portal:LGBT/Pics}}</nowiki>''' If you'd like to see it in action, check out Allstarecho's userpage for both in action and Benjiboi's [[User talk:Benjiboi|talk page]] for the Quotes in action!

The long, slow race toward FP status continues...

;Bisexual Awareness Month
Folks in [[Gay rights in Utah|Utah]] are celebrating Bisexual Awareness Month.  For our own wikicelebration, [[User:Alison|Alison]] suggests we try to bring [[Bisexuality]] at least up to [[WP:GA|good article]] status. Working on the [[Utah]] article would be encouraged, but do it stealthily - they don't like us to be *too* open.

;A cunning plan
In a move sure to bring her fame and fortune at last, {{User|Dev920}} has proposed that an FA buddying system be set up, to help nudge frightened tikes who also happen to write killer ass articles over that initial first [[WP:FAC|FAC]] hurdle. Anyone interested in shepherding duties, or anyone interested in being [[Psalm 23|made to lie beside still waters]] (handcuffs are optional), do drop Dev an RSVP so she can start battering those darned pixies...

;'''Article Milestones''' [[Image:Leprechaun ill artlibre jnl.png|thumb|100px|right|The [[leprechaun]] is a male [[Radical Faeries|faerie]] in Irish mythology.]]
We have one new [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/FA-class articles|Featured Article]] this month - [[Emily Dickinson]] was recently promoted thanks to the hard work of [[User:Yllosubmarine|Yllosubmarine]]! We also have 4 new GA-class articles: [[Ben Daniels]], [[J. Michael Bailey]], [[Rainer Werner Fassbinder]], and [[Walt Whitman]] were promoted this month, but [[Dante's Cove]] was demoted.

Moni3 contacted the Lambda Literary Foundation to let them know, and to ask if we could get a little write-up in the next Lambda Book Report.

__NOTOC__
Hello, members and friends of WP:LGBT! I'm not one to be writing newsletters, but I miss our cruise director,  [[User:Jeffpw|Miss Julie]], and our project is drifting along with a few leaking plugs in the bottom of the boat. Hey, it happens. Every group we join goes through changes. If Wikipedia weren't so interesting it wouldn't also be so frustrating sometimes. And vice versa. More than one Wikiproject has [[tumbleweed]]s blowing through it, but this is one that can't afford to let that happen. Even if you pop in to the [[talk page]] of the project, you can let us know you're still around.

=== WP:LGBT's Role in HIV / AIDS articles ===
It wouldn't be a proper gay community without a li'l bit o' drama! That's right. If we aren't arguing about something, then we should be asking if we're still queer. Maybe that's for the best, since we know we're still kicking. Our most recent topic is how far the role of our project should go in dipping our toes into HIV/AIDS articles. The main [[AIDS]] article was delisted as a [[Featured Article]] last month, sadly. (Sending a swift kick to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine|WP:Medicine]].) A spirited discussion is available for your entertainment on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBT studies|WP:LGBT talk page]] about just how much of HIV and AIDS should we take on. As ever, we'll take your opinions under advisement. We're going to have to, because it doesn't seem to have been settled. 

=== Is Pride POV? ===
We have a pretty cool sidebar that identifies core LGBT articles. Its symbol is the iconic [[gay pride flag]], much like other Wikiprojects have iconic symbols denoting the topic is a core subject in a series of articles. However, a question recently arose asking if the symbol itself is [[WP:POV|not neutral]]. Should a pride flag show up at the top of the article on [[Conversion therapy]]? How else would anyone know the article is about queer issues? Is there another symbol that is as widely recognized and that includes all our many splintered facets? At what point do we stop asking ourselves all these questions and just go have a [[mint julep]] on the verandah and stop caring? 

=== [[Harvey Milk]] and [[Jim Jones]]===
For the love of all that is holy, no [[Kool Aid]] jokes. However, an editor involved in pioneering [[San Francisco]] Supervisor [[Harvey Milk]]'s article has included a section about the late supervisor's support of [[Jim Jones]] and the [[People's Temple]]. While it may be accurate, there is a [[WP:RfC|Request for Comment]] regarding how much emphasis the section places on Milk's support in light of his overall political influence on the city, and indeed the rest of the United States. Milk's article is a sad one in more ways than one. It lacks the detail and heart that honors its subject. Anyone want to do a barter with me? I'll bring Harvey Milk to featured status (give me a month or two so I can read stuff), if you do something of equal value to WP:LGBT?? Make me an offer...

===Queer Studies is offensive! ===
The established branch of study known as [[Queer studies]] was brought up as an [[Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2008_May_19#Category:Queer_studies|category for deletion]] because an editor was offended by the use of "queer" in the title. It was overwhelmingly rejected mostly by the usernames I see here on our Wikiproject page. (A clue that I know you are out there, hiding...biding your time...) So, I wish I could congratulate you, but now I'm all confused by my sympathy for the editor who was offended. So, if you're reading this, Moni has a short memory and can't remember your username. Don't be put off by our demonstrative pushiness. Join us. We can always use involved editors.

===[[Lambda Literary Awards]]===
What can you do to help the project out? Be a wiki-[[fairy]], on many levels. There are all kinds of articles that need help. Why, just this morning I removed those ugly wikify and cleanup tags from four articles at random. If you can put <nowiki>[[ ]]</nowiki> around stuff, you can clean up articles. There's a list of articles that need attention at the top of the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBT studies|WP:LGBT talk page]]. Or you can start with the [[Lambda Literary Awards]], where the [[Ann Bannon|goddess of my altar]] received a pioneering award, and was "reduced to rubble" by [[Katherine V. Forrest]]'s wonderful speech. The 20th ceremony of the [[Lambda Literary Awards]], which celebrates LGBT literature, took place in West Hollywood on May 29th [http://www.advocate.com/exclusive_detail_ektid55079.asp]. The page needs to be updated with the new winners, to be found on the official website [http://www.lambdaliterary.org/awards/current_winners-2007.html].

| valign="top" |

=== [[Yeshayahu Leibowitz]], [[Arthur C. Clarke]] and [[Bernard Montgomery]] ===
Why on earth would someone want to delete material about homosexuality? 'Tis truly a mystery. But these embattled articles have some random evil gnomes removing information that places these folks under our queer umbrella. Help us keep an eye out for the deletions. Take a peek at the articles, familiarize yourselves with the info, and be handy with the undo function in the article history. If tempers flare, take it to the [[WP:ANI|Hall monitors]] and let them sort it out. Best solution is to make sure your sources are immaculate.

===This month's Wiki stars===
This is what I get for opening my big fat mouth and suggesting the newsletter should be revived. Here I am writing it. So, to pat self on back (*cough*) [[Mulholland Drive (film)|''Mulholland Dr.'']] became a featured article in May. This is [[Martha Stewart|A Good Thing]] since it is my personal declaration that there is no such thing as [[red link|lesbian porn]]. I don't care what [[User:Benjiboi|Benjiboi]] says about the video collection at goodvibes. Instead, we have hot women who connect on a deep, personal, soul-touching level, so this film should qualify as some of the skankiest porn available for lesbians. Plus, it's completely confusing and surreal! D'you think [[Laura Harring]] would care that the article is featured? I don't think so either... (Call me, Laura!)

===Compulsive hoarding of templates ===
Once I saw a harrowing episode of [[Animal Planet]]'s [[Animal Cops]] where this guy had, like, 250 cats in his house and it freaked me right out. I'm drawing a parallel between 250 cats and, well...three, really, templates in articles involving LGBT issues. Can we stick to one, maybe? In the aforementioned Harvey Milk's article there's a core LGBT template, a link to the LGBT portal, and a sidebar for LGBT rights. Jiminy! You'd think we weren't the folk to set industrial grey carpeting and [[track lighting]] in vogue. An LGBT footer was designed to link to articles of interest that aren't the aforementioned core articles. What do you think, can we have either an LGBT template for core articles, a footer for LGBT articles that are high profile but not core, or an LGBT rights template? As ever, anything's up for discussion on the WP:LGBT talk page.

===[[The Violet Quill]] and magazines===
[[User:Zigzig20s|Zigzig20s]] suggests we create an article on [[The Violet Quill]], as it seems such a milestone in the advancement of gay/queer literature. Members of the Quill all have pages of their own ([[Edmund White]], [[Christopher Cox (writer)|Christopher Cox]], [[Robert Ferro]], [[Michael Grumley]], [[Andrew Holleran]], [[Felice Picano]], and [[George Whitmore]]). We need to find more info on the Quill per se to reference the page that we create. Perhaps Google Books - and libraries? - can help.

A number of magazines also need articles, perhaps most notably ''[[QW (gay magazine)|QW]]'', ''[[LGNY]]'', and ''[[Lesbian Feminist Liberation]]''.

=== Mom's nagging for Pride Month ===
It's June, Pride month. Wear [[sunscreen]], stay hydrated, get a [[designated driver]], then go half-dressed in the streets find a girlfriend or boyfriend, or some homo who's standing there looking lonely and kiss 'em up real good. Remember, it all started 39 years ago when a bunch of [[drag queen]]s just got fed the f*ck up by the [[Stonewall Riots|cops raiding the bar]] and dragging them all out to the pokey ''again''. Rock on, queens! Enjoy your celebrations. My town's is in October, and 200 people attend. I miss [[Denver, Colorado|Denver.]]

=== Fresh faces to brighten our pages ===
Hey, I've seen you around! Sorry there seem to be so many—it's been a while. But we welcome you all: [[User:Cheezisyum21|Cheezisyum21]], [[User:Taineyah|Taineyah]], [[User:Dustihowe|Dustihowe]], [[User:Avesta69|Avesta69]], [[User:RachelSummers77|RachelSummers77]], [[User:Vivekgopinathan|Vivekgopinathan]], [[User:AMK1211|AMK1211]], [[User:Staffwaterboy|Staffwaterboy]] , [[User:Ted Ted|Ted Ted]], [[User:Joe5150|Joe5150]], [[User:Leahtwosaints|Leahtwosaints]], [[User:Robapalooza|Robapalooza]], [[User:Arthomure|Arthomure]], [[User:Confusionball|Confusionball]], [[User:Affinity likely|Affinity likely]], [[User:PrinceOfCanada|PrinceOfCanada]], [[User:Yobmod|Yobmod]], [[User:Npd2983|Npd2983]], [[User:Neagley|Neagley]], [[User:Bvlax2005|Bvlax2005]], [[User:Bvlax2005|Bvlax2005]], [[User:Rhullsf|Rhullsf]], [[User:Textorus|Textorus]],  [[User:Kieran.casey|Kieran.casey]], [[User:Tyciol|Tyciol]], [[User:Meojive|Meojive]], [[User:Sappho'd|Sappho'd]], [[User:Bookkeeperoftheoccult|Bookkeeperoftheoccult]],  [[User:Gaywarrior|Gaywarrior]], [[User:Aujourd'hui, maman est morte|Aujourd'hui, maman est morte]], and [[User:Balin42632003|Balin42632003]].

It looks like we've picked up a lot of talent lately. We have no doubt you'll be making your indelible mark on LGBT knowledge as we know it, here at Wikipedia.

Hello, members and friends of WP:LGBT! Updates about our latest happenings in the gayest corner of Wikipedia.

; Project News

;'''[[Homosexuality]] at [[WP:GAR|Good Article Review]]!''' 
An unfortunate effect of a group less active than in the past is that our articles lose integrity. This one is at [[WP:GAR|Good Article Review]] for that reason. The [[Talk:Homosexuality|talk page]] is quite active as a result. You have the opportunity to help. This is the corest of our core articles, and it needs some attention because it gets a lot of controversial input from many sides. If you can spare any time to edit the article, please do what you can. 

;'''[[Paragraph 175]] is at [[WP:FAR|Featured Article Review]]!'''
Soon after we were informed that Homosexuality is being scrutinized, we heard the same for one of our few Featured Articles. As a participant of the Featured Article process, I think this is actually a good thing. The standards for Featured Articles are getting higher with time. But as a member of this project, that means that a few of ours may be de-listed unless someone can swoop in and save them. This one has to do with the designation of homosexuality as a crime in Germany. Most of this article's sources are in German. If anyone has any particular skill in this area, please lend a hand!  

;'''[[Gay bathhouse]] is at [[WP:GAR|Good Article Review]]! Wtf is going on?''' 
I know you folks think I have much experience in a gay bathhouse, and I hate to disappoint you, but I actually do not. I seem like the sort of person who likes to stroll about in a towel. Shocking, no? It appears that [[User:Ashleyvh|Ashleyvh]] is single-handedly addressing all the problems with this article at its GA Review. While that's pretty impressive, it's also no doubt exhausting. Can anyone help out there? 

;'''Two [[WP:GA|GA]]s and a nominee!''' 
In what I hope will counter the jolt of re-evaluating three Good or Featured Articles, [[José Sarria]] and [[Janet Jackson as gay icon]] passed as Good Articles, and [[Black Cat Bar]] (famous San Francisco oft-raided gay bar) is nominated, all by [[User:Otto4711|Otto4711]]. Rock on, man. You're a machine. Good luck with your nominations. What is it about women that make them gay icons? And are there lesbian icons that aren't lesbians? How about bisexual icons? Am I the only lesbian who reacts with soul-trembling fear at the sight of [[Angelina Jolie]]?   

;'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Deletion|LGBT articles for deletion]]'''
New WP:LGBT studies member [[User:Pinkkeith|Pinkkeith]] has done this cool thing. If you click on that link, you'll see all the articles, categories, templates, and miscellany up for deletion. They're usually there because they're not considered to be [[WP:N|not notable]]. That can be a relative concept, and sometimes it has to be argued that   topics pertaining to gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender issues ''are'' notable. 


;'''Completely naked women!'''
Ha! Made you look! Even the guys are looking. Gay pioneers [[Kay Lahusen]]'s and [[Barbara Gittings]]' collection of photographs are up at the [http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/dgkeysearchresult.cfm?keyword=kay+lahusen+&submit.x=0&submit.y=0 New York Public Library]. Want to see images of the [http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/dgkeysearchdetail.cfm?trg=1&strucID=1080391&imageID=1605898&word=kay%20lahusen%20gay%20pride%201970%20contact%20sheet&s=1&notword=&d=&c=&f=&lWord=&lField=&sScope=&sLevel=&sLabel=&total=9&num=0&imgs=12&pNum=&pos=3# first Pride march in 1970 in New York City]? How about [http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/dgkeysearchdetail.cfm?trg=1&strucID=1080384&imageID=1605891&word=kay%20lahusen%20sylvia%20rivera&s=1&notword=&d=&c=&f=&lWord=&lField=&sScope=&sLevel=&sLabel=&total=6&num=0&imgs=12&pNum=&pos=3# Sylvia Rivera], drag queen extraordinaire, and Stonewall Riots participant? Or the contact sheet for [[The Ladder (magazine)|''The Ladder'']] that showed [http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/dgkeysearchdetail.cfm?trg=1&strucID=1079797&imageID=1605649&total=529&num=468&word=kay%20lahusen&s=1&notword=&d=&c=&f=&lWord=&lField=&sScope=&sLevel=&sLabel=&imgs=12&pos=477 full-face lesbians in print for the first time in US history]? Ok I did mention naked women, and it's true. I found naked pictures of Barbara Gittings. But I scrolled through all of them and you'll have to as well. I'm not that mean, though. [http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/dgkeysearchdetail.cfm?trg=1&strucID=1078773&imageID=1605708&total=529&num=396&word=kay%20lahusen&s=1&notword=&d=&c=&f=&lWord=&lField=&sScope=&sLevel=&sLabel=&imgs=12&pos=399 Here she is in the shower]. How cute is she?

;'''Tagging articles'''
It seems a recurring issue which articles to tag, and what to say about a topic that's tagged. Certainly, because an article falls under our scope doesn't necessarily make the person gay. Florida Governor [[Charlie Crist]] has been rumored to be gay in some newspaper accounts. Although we all know [[Fred Phelps]] is supergay, he won't admit it so instead he does the absolutely awfulest anti-gay things on the planet to deflect suspicion. [[NAMBLA]], the red headed stepchild of the LGBT world, is tagged with an explanation we have yet to decide if we'll keep.  


;'''Member Spotlight: [[User:Benjiboi|Benjiboi]]'''
In the lurking I do around and about on Wiki, I've long been astounded at the forbearance Benjiboi has for the utterly insane. Perhaps not so much, since the message on Benji's talk page notes frequent absences due to homophobia and transphobia. But it takes some kind of ... ''something'' that I don't have to face the constant anti-gay POV Benji does. 

Benjiboi is a a bit of a [[Wikipedia:WikiFairy|WikiFaerie]], a [[Wikipedia:WikiGnome|WikiGnome]] and also a member of [[Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron|the Article Rescue Squadron]] in addition to being a LGBT project member. A few of Benjiboi's favorite links for making the wikiverse more fab are:
#[[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of style]], a must for anyone redecorating an article. 
#[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2008-06-26/Dispatches|Reliable sources in content review processes]], a wonderful and fully linked essay about sourcing and why we need more and better sources.
#[http://scholar.google.com/ Google scholar], which also searches Google books, is a great help in finding reliable sources.

;'''Member Spotlight: [[User:Becksguy|Becksguy]]'''

Becksguy didn’t start actively editing until May 2007. His most frequent tasks on Wiki include reverting vandalism to LGBT articles and creating new project-related articles. He comes from New York state, and to prove not all of us are teenagers (ha! I am so totally 15!) he's in his 60s and retired.

Becksguy considers his biggest triumph on Wikipedia so far was a [[WP:DYK|DYK]] in December 2007 for the first-ever newspaper report on what became [[AIDS]], in the ''[[New York Native]]''.  He's also helped save several project-related articles from deletion.  His lowest moment here was getting involved in the discussion on a particular terrorism related article, thinking he could help calm the roiled waters on an extremely contentious subject with multiple edit wars and passionate editors. 
 
Here at WP:LGBT, he creates and improves articles that present notable LGBT related subjects in a fair and balanced way, and tries to include more of the significant alternative sexuality related subjects without being an activist, and works to better source project-related articles.  

On Wikipedia as a whole, he says, "I think we need to learn better what processes work for a massive collaborative project. Some of what worked well for a more informal small project doesn’t scale up well. Process is not as important when the participants know each other. We need to get more of the current members to be more active.  If more members were energized, the project would be able to accomplish more. We should be, in effect, the smaller and included Wikipedia for LGBT related subjects.  Overall, I wish we could focus more on content creation and improvement, and less on vandal fighting."

''"A [[Supreme Court]] decision in 1958 reversed a 1956 ruling by a federal district court that U.S. postal authorities were correct in prohibiting the mailing of the [[Mattachine Society]]'s [[ONE, Inc.|''ONE'']] magazine. The lower court had ruled that ''ONE'' was not protected by the [[First Amendment]] because the magazine's contents 'may be vulgar, offensive, and indecent even though not regarded as such by a particular group ... because their own social or moral standards are far below those of the general community ... Social standards are fixed by and for the great majority and not by and for a hardened or weakened minority.'"'' - Michael Bronski in ''Pulp Friction'', 2003

==Speedy deletion of [[:Theo Rossi]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:Theo Rossi]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia.

==AfD nomination of Theo Rossi==
[[Image:Ambox warning pn.svg|48px|left]]I have nominated [[Theo Rossi]], an article you created, for [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion]]. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Theo Rossi]]. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. <!-- Template:AFDWarning --> [[User:Bongomatic|Bongomatic]] ([[User talk:Bongomatic|talk]]) 12:07, 24 October 2008 (UTC) <!-- Template:Idw --> [[User:Bongomatic|Bongomatic]] ([[User talk:Bongomatic|talk]]) 12:07, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

== Theo Rossi ==

Hi Brian1979

Thank you for your (respectful) comment on the [[WP:Articles for deletion/Theo Rossi|AfD discussion]] for [[Theo Rossi]]. You're an inclusionist, while I'm someone who believes that having articles on non-notable topics diminishes the utility of an encyclopedia, but (despite their overbroad definition of notability) tries to stay within the policies. With respect to the efforts spent on the nomination in this case, the of the original nomination was pretty brief and to the point (just the first two paragraphs). When I saw the first '''keep''' comment, which to me indicated a misunderstanding of the subject's ''oeuvre'', I expanded the nomination. 

Waste of time? Probably. But we all have our ways of trying to improve the project, and the one I can conveniently do while on conference calls, etc. is new page patrol, an activity that is explicitly encouraged--from which I conclude that at least some people think it's a worthwhile pursuit.

;'''''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. 

{| class="wikitable" border="1"
|-
! Current political events
! LGBT Media and Literature
! LGBT History
! Sex and sexuality
|-
| Articles about political issues in the US and around the world that have been especially relevant within the past 5 years
| Depictions of LGBT people and issues on television, film, newspapers, magazines
| Topics about gay rights activism and the opposition to it
| Articles relating to sex and sexuality
|-
| [[Florida Amendment 2 (2008)]], [[California Proposition 8 (2008)]], [[E.O. Green School shooting]], etc.
| ''[[The Advocate]]'', [[Curve (magazine)]], ''[[Washington Blade]]'', [[Milk (film)]], ''[[Brokeback Mountain]]'', etc.
| [[Moral Majority]], [[ACT UP]], [[Queer Nation]], [[Mattachine Society]], [[Jesse Helms]], [[Jerry Falwell]], [[Mathew Shepard]], etc.
| [[Gay]], [[Lesbian]], [[Bisexual]], [[Transgender]], sexual and gender expression, etc.
|}

| valign="top" style="border: 2px #4B0082 solid; padding: 1em; width: 45%; background-color: #E6E6FA;" |

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

;<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]]. 

;<u>R U Popular?</u>
[[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Popular pages]] is a new handy place to see which LGBT-tagged pages are the most popular in any given month. 

;<u>Article alerts</u>
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>Glambert</u>
[[Adam Lambert]] is soooo gay - surprised? Neither is anyone else. Nuff said. [[David Ogden Stiers]] was [[outed]] but apparently he wasn't terribly in either.

;<u>Community Quilt reminder</u>
[[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Quilt]] - update it and add yourself!

;<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!

;<u>LGBT to-do list (held over from last edition)</u>
* 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.

{{cquote|There are many well-respected LGBT leaders in all professional fields, including the arts and business communities. [I]n both the White House and the Federal agencies -- openly LGBT employees are doing their jobs with distinction and professionalism. [...]<br/> LGBT youth should feel safe to learn without the fear of harassment, and LGBT families and seniors should be allowed to live their lives with dignity and respect.<br/> At the international level, I have joined efforts at the United Nations to decriminalize homosexuality around the world. Here at home, I continue to support measures to bring the full spectrum of equal rights to LGBT Americans. These measures include enhancing hate crimes laws, supporting civil unions and Federal rights for LGBT couples, outlawing discrimination in the workplace, ensuring adoption rights, and ending the existing "[[Don't Ask, Don't Tell]]" policy in a way that strengthens our Armed Forces and our national security. [...]<br/> As long as the promise of equality for all remains unfulfilled, all Americans are affected. If we can work together to advance the principles upon which our Nation was founded, every American will benefit. During LGBT Pride Month, I call upon the LGBT community, the Congress, and the American people to work together to promote equal rights for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

Saw your edit on Ridley Park.  Are you from there?  If so, I'm always looking for more sources and books on the town.  If you know of any, please let me know.  Thanks.

:Wow, great coincidence.  I lived there, too.  Great that you live in Chester County.  If you come across any interesting information on the area, please let me know.  I would be happy to add content to the various pages for Chester, and Ridley Park, and Swarthmore, Chadds Ford, etc.  Also, isn't there an orchards out that way?  I forget the name of it.

The article [[Mather Zickel]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32; because of the following concern:
:<b>not notable and obscure</b>

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the <code>{{tl|dated prod}}</code> notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Mather Zickel|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing <code>{{tl|dated prod}}</code> will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist.

==Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest==

I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links/November 2013|November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest]], on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day ([https://tools.wmflabs.org/dplbot/ch/dab_challenge.php see the project page for details on scoring points]). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely <i>nine</i> edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I <i>will</i> credit links fixed by turning a [[WP:DABCONCEPT]] page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links/The Daily Disambig|Daily Disambig]], we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers!

If you are interested, you might consider creating a page for a major city (or cities!) near you, with a list of LGBT-related articles that need to be created or improved. This would be a tremendous help to Wikipedia and coverage of LGBT culture and history.

A tag has been placed on [[:Tod Williams (filmmaker)]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about [[Wikipedia:The answer to life, the universe, and everything|what is generally accepted as notable]]. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Tod Williams (filmmaker)|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion".

A tag has been placed on [[:Brad Hunt]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not [[Wikipedia:Credible claim of significance|credibly indicate]] how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about [[Wikipedia:Notability|what is generally accepted as notable]]. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Brad Hunt|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.
