Citizen grand jury
Hi, I hate to bother you, but do you have any references to improve this article, which has some serious issues. Please fix the issues tagged in the article. Bearian (talk) 22:21, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I ultimately haven't been able to find any *reliable* news sources on the 9/11 CGJs, only postings onto email lists and highly-partisan blogs affiliated with the truther movement, so I'll have a hard time with citing sources except for dating first mentions and so on. --RayneVanDunem (talk) 16:00, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Citizen grand jury


The article Citizen grand jury has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * This is not an actual procedure, any sources cited are directed to these pretend 'grand juries' with derision. This is a made up 'procedure' without any recognition by conspiracy theorists.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Dave Dial (talk) 00:12, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

It Gets Better Project
Hi, thanks for your contributions to this article. I did trim the unsourced names you added earlier. Enforcing WP:NLIST may be a little pedantic but with any potentially controversial article (and LGBT-related articles do tend to be seen as such) it is better to stay on top of the Biographies of living persons guidelines rather than assuming that issues will be resolved in the longer term. If you have suggestions for improvement please do raise them on the article talk page. Thanks, Fæ (talk) 18:01, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate).

Brevik and blacklisted site cite
Hi,

I reverted your most recent edit to Brevik because of the use of the blacklisted site as a cite. I don't see any problem with your edit other than the use of that cite though so feel free to put it back without the blacklisted site... or perhaps you could work to get that site unblacklisted as from a very brief look at it I can't see why it should be blacklisted in the first place.

The article Chris Seelbach (politician) has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

Template: GLAAD Media Awards
Hi there. I see you've been working on new individual category pages for the GLAAD Media Awards. It's something I've thought we've needed, but I never have the time to work on it, so I'm glad to see someone working on them. I'm leaving you this message regarding the GLAAD Media Awards template. I see you've created a lot of redlinks in the navbox template for GLAAD category pages that we don't have yet. I realize you may be planning on working on the pages and I wholeheartedly support your efforts, but there are rather strict rules about redlinks in templates (and several editors strict about enforcing them). I personally don't think they hurt anything and I've previously defended the use of redlinks in the GLAAD navbox to show the "history" of the GLAAD Awards ceremonies, but quite a few editors are sticklers for the rules and will never go for 30+ category redlinks in a navbox template, so I've removed the redlinked pages for now - but feel free to add them back one by one as you create the individual pages. I completely rewrote the GLAAD Media Award "mother" page last year, so I don't want you to think I'm just trying to give you a hard time - but I thought it was best that I clean up the navbox before another editor who knows/cares much less about the subject came along and edited it for us. --- Crakkerjakk (talk) 14:27, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry; I should have been clear. FAG = Find A Grave. It's a dopey name for a burial registration website.

People keep uploading photos that violate copyright law. IF one of them is there legitimately, perhaps we can get permission to use it here on WP. Will have to see.

Disambiguation link notification for August 19
Hi. When you recently edited Mention (blogging), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Evan Williams (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Egypt constituencies etc.
Hi there! I see you've been adding some Egypt stuff recently - how btw did you intend the lede of List of constituencies in Egypt to go? The real reason I'm pinging you is that I've been trying to get to grips with the people elected to Egypt's People's Assembly and Constituent Assembly - see a work in userpage progress here - and any help, thoughts about how best to lay things out etc. are very welcome. Best, Dsp13 (talk) 16:52, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pinging. The problem is that there are two types of seemingly-overlapping constituencies: "single-member" (although that's either one or two members from each constituency, but no more than that and based on plurality voting) and "multi-member party-list". I have to hash out how this will look if we're going to create articles on them (i.e. the titles, such as "First District of Cairo (single-member constituency)" vs. "First District of Cairo (multi-member constituency)"). Even the Arabic Wikipedia has only articles on two or three constituencies of the Assembly, so we'd largely be going off of Egyptian news sites for who won what district in what way. Ugh. But it's good that you've started on the bio articles lists already. --RayneVanDunem (talk) 14:39, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The Carnegie list lists both sorts of MPs, assigning them districts, but you're right that Cairo etc. seem to have different numbers of single-member and multi-member districts. I was also stumped at that point. Dsp13 (talk) 21:49, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Category:LGBT nobility
Hi. You have been adding Category:LGBT nobility to a number of articles, but I don't think they fit. British nobility is made up of the peers (Dukes, Earls, Counts, Barons, etc.) and the landed gentry (a rather vague group that is hard to define). If you want to include knights you may want to revise the category name. Road Wizard (talk) 11:49, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd probably stick British LGBT peers in their own subcategory and stick LGBT knights/dames (the two main categories, but are knights considered noble in the UK?). But I was only going off of Category:Noble titles's inclusion of these titles. --RayneVanDunem (talk) 12:07, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
 * In the UK some knights may fall into the category of landed gentry (people with large amounts of land) and therefore be considered noble.
 * If you add the description from Category:Noble titles to your new category - that it is based on a "broad definition of nobility." Then you should be safe enough. I'd stick the knights into the subcategory as soon as possible though as good faith editors will be reverting you as I did here before starting this discussion. Road Wizard (talk) 13:01, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, I created subcats for "LGBT peers > LGBT life peers". Now how do I categorize "LGBT knights"? It's more correct to say "Gay knights", "lesbian dames", "bisexual knights/dames", "transgender knights/dames", etc., but will categorizing every LGBT recipient of KBE/DBE along those lines make sense? I'm confused, and I'm even tempted to just say "LGBT recipients of chivalric honours (by nationality/by title)", which is probably butchery of English to someone who is an anal pedant. --RayneVanDunem (talk) 22:34, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Post by Manxwoman

 * Surely, if you are going to have go down this route, it would be easier and a catch-all if your new Category was just labelled Homosexual. But it would follow that a category of Heterosexual people is going to then have to be created as well. I suppose you could then sub-divide that category to "people who prefer redheads, or brunettes" etc., but is it REALLY necessary... After all, someone's sexuality is a private matter, isn't it? Manxwoman (talk) 17:30, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Hello, ma'am, your first point would be inaccurate and too broad, as not all non-heterosexual or non-cisgender individuals are homosexual. Your second point would be legitimate if you felt that persons' heterosexualities are not emphasized enough in an obviously-homosexual-majority world, am I right? Your third point about "people who prefer" only makes sense if we were talking about "preferences" rather than orientations, as "preferences" are rather lightweight when describing with whom someone wishes to spend anywhere from a night to their whole life. Your fourth point is only legitimate if the persons cares to refuse disclosure of their sexual orientation in their lifetimes (if the person is living, of course) or if their family members make such disclosures in their lifetimes; "J. Edgar Hoover? No. Harvey Milk? Yes." --RayneVanDunem (talk) 17:48, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

You make several interesting, though arguable, points, but I repeat my question that you glossed over: Is it REALLY necessary? Apart from making some sort of political (with a small p) point, who cares who someone sleeps/lives with, unless it has a direct effect on their/our lives? Manxwoman (talk) 18:29, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Having just re-read your posting, I assume you made a typo when you said "an obviously-homosexual-majority world". Come on! You are joking and/or trying to make a POV here aren't you? Manxwoman (talk) 20:05, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Because the state - every nation-state - cares about who their citizens sleep with, especially if children are born or adopted through such relationships. Almost every nation-state provides some sort of leniency for those (mostly heterosexual) relationships which result in childbirth or childraising, almost every nation-state penalizes a less-acceptable type of family, almost every nation-state with a monarchial former government has prioritized the inheritance of noble titles (where heritable) through natural, "of the body" means and "legitimate" births, resulting in countless noble titles dying without "legitimate" issue. All of this means that those who were oriented to relationships with someone of the same gender (or were simply publicly lifelong "bachelors") were historically likely to have highly-problematic relationships with and within the aristocracy of their countries, and that those who now possess life titles (knighhoods, life peerages, baronetcies) not only have somewhat-less problematic relationships with their national aristocracies (i.e., being stripped of their titles when possible, fleeing from or being subjected to arrest and prosecution on the basis of their orientation, ostracization and exile, execution), but stand to gain from further integration of their families into such aristocracies. Such is the interesting history of non-exclusively-heterosexual nobles and royals and their relationships with the nation-state to the present, which should be evaluated on a country-by-country basis. That's one reason why I care "who someone sleeps/lives with", and how such relationships have been treated by powers that be and have been. (And yes, I was being purposefully facetious with the "majority-homosexual-world" thing. Kind of a spin on the "shipping gays to islands/concentration camps/desert to die off because of no babies" meme, which is always fun to hear from upstanding patriots.) --RayneVanDunem (talk) 20:45, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Interesting and I think that you have answered your own question about listing non-hereditary Knighthoods (such as Dirk Bogarde, where this all began) but still no answer to the previous question about publicly stating someone's sexuality in general: Is it REALLY necessary...? Does it matter in the end? If someone chooses not to publicly state who they sleep with, be it man, woman or sheep and as long as they are not being hypocritical by publicly stating one orientation and practising another, then who really cares and should it not be a private matter? Live and let live. Manxwoman (talk) 13:22, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
