I see you put a rescue tag on the above article, can you let me know via the afd entry log if you believe to be notable under WP:ATHLETE by placeing a keep or comment thanks. Diamonddannyboy (talk) 14:00, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I've been involved with that article, at all. I'll take a look though. <u style="text-decoration:none;font:95% cursive;color:#CC00CC">Benji <u style="text-decoration:none;font:98% cursive;color:#8000FF">boi 21:43, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, my plate is quite full at the moment but I do have suggestions. Firstly, clean it up. At least if it looks more like an article should than others can more fully see whether it is "save"-able. I would also format those references, although not required it, again, may help. I would also dial back your AfD comments to be concise and neutral - "I believe that concern is met" is more neutral than saying, for instance "you know it does!". I know very little about bare knuckle fighting but I would consider trying Google books to see if he has been mentioned there and maybe even to give a little background as to the underground or "under the radar" nature of the sport. Good luck! <u style="text-decoration:none;font:95% cursive;color:#CC00CC">Benji <u style="text-decoration:none;font:98% cursive;color:#8000FF">boi 21:50, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Hi, I think you'll find that many, if not most or all of any changes I would make you'd get from other editors as well. That article in particular, has been greatly improved and is watched by quite a few folks. Constructive edits are always appreciated and if your not sure you can always ask on the talk page. Some questions have already been dealt with but we are always improving articles. <u style="text-decoration:none;font-family: papyrus;color:#CC00CC">Benji <u style="text-decoration:none;font:98% cursive;color:#8000FF">boi 23:25, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

I am also a shemale.
I think the reason that you are confused is because you are not a shemale. SHMALES ARE SEPARATE SEX/GENDER AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WIT OTHERS.YOU HAVE TO BE SHEMALE TO UNDERSTAND THIS.THE NUMBER OF SHEMALES ARE VERY LOW AND THERE IS ALMOST NO ONE PROTECTING THEM.AND MOST OF THEM ARE ECONOMICALY SENSETIVE  AND UNDER CULTUREL/SOCIAL DIFFICULTIAS ESSPECIALY WITHIN AMERICAN 'NEGATIVELY ABUSED FEMINIST CULTURE"BY MORE THAN HALF OF THE POPULATION.This resulted  seeing many shemales in sex industry... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ezlovetewusa (talk • contribs) 02:15, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I changed the edits you made as they were unfocused and unencyclopedic. If this was your personal blog then great but it's not, it's the world's encyclopedia. You might want to post instead to the article's talk page and be a bit more clear about what should change on the article. Also this is not a soapbox so staying on point to changes to the article only would be best. If you want help just ask and others are generally happy to assist. <u style="text-decoration:none;font-family: papyrus;color:#CC00CC">Benji <u style="text-decoration:none;font:98% cursive;color:#8000FF">boi 17:44, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to template the regulars, you'll be laughed at. —Angr If you've written a quality article... 18:59, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well the AfD was closed as keep and you deleted the article (Diff here) with a redirect falsely claiming that it was per AfD. I welcome constructive criticism but your actions seemed to welcome a warning even if it was a template. <u style="text-decoration:none;font-family: papyrus;color:#CC00CC">Benji <u style="text-decoration:none;font:98% cursive;color:#8000FF">boi 19:01, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * No, I didn't delete the article. I simply removed the cruft and unencyclopedic material from it; even most people who voted "keep" said it should be cleaned up. You yourself wrote, "If plot-only is an issue then fix it". So I fixed it. The fact that nothing remained (since absolutely nothing in this article is salvageable) meant that a redirect to the main article was called for. —Angr If you've written a quality article... 19:15, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Personally I think that's semantics, you effectively deleted/blanked the content. I've open up a thread at Admin  Noticeboard for Incidents concerning the AfD. Maybe it was prematurely/wrongly closed. <u style="text-decoration:none;font-family: papyrus;color:#CC00CC">Benji <u style="text-decoration:none;font:98% cursive;color:#8000FF">boi  19:33, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I would include it if it's free to use, that is, if you took and are giving the rights to use it. If someone is alive there is a presumption that a free picture is available.

Block declined
Thank you for your recent report to WP:AIV. However as has only received a level-two warning this month, I am declining to block. For future reference, AIV criteria #2 ("the vandal must ... have vandalized after sufficient recent warnings to stop") generally means that except in the most egregious cases, a level four warning is required before a block will be levied. Thanks for your help in fighting vandalism. --Kralizec! (talk) 20:27, 18 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I should also note that adding "and again" to the IP's talk page is not helpful as it makes the anti-vandalism bots lose track of the current warning level . --Kralizec! (talk) 20:29, 18 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for getting back to me. As to the bots losing track I think they should be better programmed then as I find it more helpful to have the page organized so the humans both users and editors dealing with potential vandals can easily see what activity has gone on rather than one long list with various headings (and some warnings with no headings). To me it seems the bots should be improved to help us not our interests compromised to help the bots. <u style="text-decoration:none;font-family: papyrus;color:#CC00CC">Benji <u style="text-decoration:none;font:98% cursive;color:#8000FF">boi 20:35, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Brownie Mary, Counterculture of the 1960s, Hippies
Hi. Do you think it is appropriate to add LGBTProject to Brownie Mary? I think that it is. Also, since you have an interest in this and related topics, I was wondering if you would consider reviewing Counterculture of the 1960s and adding information about the gay rights movement to that page, particularly in regards to the Stonewall riots, etc. Finally, several editors have expressed interest in seeing some of this information represented in the hippie article, however you may have access to sources that I don't, as I haven't been able to find that many substantiating the overlap, but I believe they are probably there. And, if I have my facts right, I seem to recall reading somewhere that Harvey Milk was once a hippie. Thanks. &mdash;Viriditas | Talk 21:21, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Definitely the LGBT tag for Brownie Mary although the article should clearly spell out that she was beloved in the gay male community for her work with people with AIDS (which were overwhelmingly gay men) and later for her ongoing medical marijuana activism. I haven't looked lately but the article should rference she was arrested a few times for that.
 * I'd be happy to look at Counterculture of the 1960s and hippie; there certainly was LGBT folks there and a few articles that come to mind: Compton's cafeteria riot (1966); The Cockettes (way queer hippie commune); Lonnie Frisbee (gay hippie preacher); Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (started in two communes in the Haight).
 * Milk moved to SF in the early 1970s and was thought a hippie as he was a dope-smoking longhair queer. This ref might do. <u style="text-decoration:none;font-family: papyrus;color:#CC00CC">Benji <u style="text-decoration:none;font:98% cursive;color:#8000FF">boi 21:54, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * You are unstoppable. Your answer jogged a memory: Gavin Arthur, aka Chester Alan Arthur III, grandson of Chester A. Arthur.Have you ever heard of Gavin?  It would be great if we could work him into the History of the hippie movement along with all the other information you've found, distilling the most important points into hippie. Do you recommend any other books? &mdash;Viriditas | Talk 11:58, 19 March 2008 (UTC)


 * For Gavin Arthur try this, and Gay by the Bay: A History of Queer Culture in the San Francisco Bay Area by By Susan Stryker, Jim Van Buskirk and Love Stories: Sex between Men before Homosexuality by Jonathan Ned Katz.
 * Some general homo hippie books...

Congratulations are in order
P.S. Sorry about vandals. Please come back if you can. Wikipedia needs editors like you! (I just realized that this sounds really... gushing, but I swear it's sincere. Seeing a referenced article about a pop culture figure, one happy face. Having an article that I wanted to read be referenced: two happy faces.) --Gimme danger (talk) 14:39, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you! That was a rescue from AfD article but much like the iconic Britney Spears the material keeps coming in! I do have to thank all the vandals on that one as they have forced it to being referenced coming and going.

Let's collaborate (Re: Miscellany for deletion/Tlogmer subpages)
This MfD debate you and I are participating in seems to me to indicate a need for a policy that people can refer to. Would you be willing to workshop with me to develop one so that we can have a standard and avoid the weirdness currently ensuing in that discussion? ScienceApologist (talk) 17:06, 21 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm open. I'm no template specialist but think that would be a good start as I agree that if material is popping in google searches we should have a way to make clear that the material is not official, etc. The template, IMHO, would point to a policy page about suggestions for handling material not in mainspace (I'm sure there are quite a few bits out there already) so having one spot that helps organize the present thinking would make sense. So my suggestion would be to 1. Develop a template specific to the issue if one doesn't seem to exist and 2. Research what guidelines and policies already deal with the subject. 3. Organize it into a user-friendly page to see what still needs addressing. Once we have sorted out a few of the more core issues a bot could possibly be employed to add the template to articles that seem to fit the criteria. <u style="text-decoration:none;font-family: papyrus;color:#CC00CC">Benji <u style="text-decoration:none;font:98% cursive;color:#8000FF">boi 20:25, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
