Adminship?
You have been here long enough, and you are a good user. I would like to nominate you to be an administrator. Would you accept or not? NHRHS2010  Talk  02:57, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry
I'm sorry about the Pregnancy Fetishism thing. I should have assumed good faith, sorry.

Refs?
After the LGBT debate, I couldn't help but look at your userpage and see a citation (ref) userbox. It so happens that I have no idea what I'm doing when I try to use citations, and I wonder if you know where there's a good reference page or tutorial? I tried to kludge it together on Brian D. Weiss earlier today (to save the page from deletion), and I had to plagiarize a bunch of the stuff from Dar Williams, and it was not nearly so elegant as I would like to be. Can you help? Thanks (and thanks for all the great back and forth in that AfD; I had fun)!! Deltopia 21:11, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * You rock out loud. Thanks so much! (You would think one would be bright enough to look for a "WP:CITE" when looking for citation guidance, but I did a lot of translation today, and my brain is still a smoldering mess.) That was exactly what I was looking for :) Deltopia 21:38, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Unjustified Attack on my Edits
My comments on Meghan were entirely correct and supported by the Washington Post. Did you even READ the Post article? She was in fact called the 7,000 mile long screwdriver. And the info I posted was entirely accurate. Now what kind of political agenda do you have that considers that reporting this info is vandalism? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.83.221.95 (talk • contribs) 19:44, 7 October 2007

Think about what you are doing. Removing pertinent info is NOT "editing"
You seem to get a lot of kudos for "vandal fighting". Maybe you should stop and think who and what you are fighting for.

Are you fighting to keep nice clean whitewashed portraits of Bush lapdogs in your Wikipedia? Free of any and all niggling pertinent FACTS?

I've read a lot of Wiki articles that do NOT have any sources on them, and they are NOT deleted ASAP.

So you deleted mine b/c your uninformed POV is better than my informed POV in your opinion.

Which strikes me as knee-jerk political censorship rather than actual editing.

At least try to THINK about what you are doing, Belovedfreak — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.83.221.95 (talk) 19:57, 7 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok, will do. Thanks for the advice. -- Beloved  Freak  20:00, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, actually in regards to your revert on Traditional Chinese Medicine I reverted vandalism. Someone added "Fuck in the ass" to the definition! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.56.51.215 (talk) 23:45, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Replied on your talkpage. -- Beloved  Freak  18:08, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

But I'm a Cheerleader
Yeah, I was just about to revert my own change; the infobox doesn't seem to support Canadian ratings, so I guess there's no harm in the minor duplication. Best regards, Liquidfinale (Ţ) (Ç) (Ŵ) 20:59, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Well done!
Hear ye, hear ye. This user is now a fully-qualified vandal fighter and has received this Thumbs Up from Auroranorth. Have you checked out Twinkle yet? Auroranorth 11:47, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Re: Well done!

 * Re: User talk:Black Falcon

Thanks! I'm thinking of doing something similar with a portal for an African country, but I want to focus on writing and improving articles for the time being. By the way, I like the idea of a project-specific barnstar for WikiProject Africa. Cheers, Black Falcon (Talk) 00:31, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Definitely, and the gold colouring of Africa completements the 'featured' theme, although that may have been unintentional. ;) Black Falcon (Talk) 21:46, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

List of LGBT characters in modern written fiction
Great quote you added to the article! -- Beloved  Freak  19:34, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'm using that article to source some of the characters, and obviously it just popped out at me! &mdash; TAnthonyTalk 15:58, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

thanks for the tip
Thanks for the tips about adding vandalism warnings... and, I didn't even realize I could edit a user page that wasn't my own! (I simply clicked the wrong link.) FWIW, I had known about the vandalism tags but haven't figured out the variable substitution yet. It's a little annoying that the wp:warn page doesn't make it more obvious where to find this info. Cheers. Noah 18:23, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

SatyrBot / LGBT "full list"
Hi, Hon! The bot *used* to update that nightly. I'm in the middle of a major re-write of the bot's functions, so it hasn't been done in the past couple weeks. Until the bot gets going again, feel free to update at will! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 04:11, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Phantom Crystal
I created a page called Phantom crystal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_crystal Would you mind editing it? Thank you! Neptunekh 03:17, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry re: Rubyfruit Jungle
I apologize for the careless edit - thanks for catching it. Llajwa 12:43, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for fixing that, I don't know why I missed the good version in the history. Regards, M er cury    18:27, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Preity Zinta FA
Hi there. The Preity Zinta article has recently achieved A-class status. Due to the wealth of support I have decided to now nominate for an FA class article which I believe and judging by the comments of others is pretty much up to. In my view it is better than some existing FA actor articles. I would therefore be very grateful if you could give it a final review in your own time and leave your comments and views at Featured article candidates/Preity Zinta. Thankyou, your comments are always valuable. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 10:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

My edits are not vandalism
Please refrain from reverting my edits to Kenny Logan, they are not vandalism. Many Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.72.39.220 (talk) 18:17, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Your edits from this and other ip addresses (79.72.124.27, 79.72.113.26) do indeed constitute vandalism. -- Beloved  Freak  18:25, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
 * (Although I will admit that your most recent edits may have been in good faith and have retracted the most recent vandalism warning.)-- Beloved  Freak  18:35, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry but i dont know anything about edits made by the other IP's you mention. Nothing to do with me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.72.39.220 (talk) 19:49, 4 November 2007 (UTC)


 * If that's the case, you must have a miraculous psychic connection to some other people out there as you are making the same edits to the same page.-- Beloved  Freak  20:26, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

no actually i am watching the Kenny Logan article amongst others, and felt that the statement about his resemblence to Desperate Dan was valid and should have stayed in. Regards, --79.72.39.220 20:33, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey, Peeps, it's that time of the month again (no not that time &mdash; get your mind out of the gutter): time for another monthly edition of the LGBT Project's Love Boat newsletter from your cruise director Miss Julie. So much has been happening this month and I just can't wait to tell you all about it!!!

Alice and her harasser
Let's start with some good news: 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. 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.

Harry Potter and his homosexual teacher
Albus Dumbledore got 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, 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 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 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 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 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 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 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, 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
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.

"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 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 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 Featured list!! Rah rah, siskumbah! Go, team, GO!!!!

And the Oscar goes to...
Not content to run for Best Actress, plucky Bannon won a 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 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: Jliberty, JockCub360, ChristopherEdwards, Desiderius82, Zlrussell, Kelsied, BeardedWoof, Mujerado, Tyrfing, Fabgurrl, Redl@nds597198, and 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 Nemissimo, who desperately wants to get the 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 collaboration project was delisted from the 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 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 Wikipedian!).

Champagne dreams and caviar kisses
Lastly, the holidays are rapidly approaching. Our American cousins are currently getting ready to slaughter masses of 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 person"! May all your Wiki days be bright, and may your Love Boat never turn into a Poseidon.
