Heterosocial
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article Heterosocial, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

AfD nomination of Heterosocial
An editor has nominated Heterosocial, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 06:44, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Bioelectrography
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Bioelectrography, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add  to the top of Bioelectrography. RJC Talk Contribs 18:01, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, one thing that might save the article from meriting a PROD deletion would be if you could point out a place (other than Korotkov's work) that discusses the field. Even a reputable source slamming the field of Bioelectrography specifically (i.e., not as one example among many pseudo-scientific disciplines) would satisfy WP:FRINGE and make the topic notable and verifiable.  If you think you can do this, you can simply remove the PROD tag.  I would then relist the article under Articles for Deletion, but if you think that this article should not be deleted then you should by all means contest the PROD and compel an AfD discussion.
 * If you have an interest in this article, you might also be interested to know that there is currently an AfD underway for Konstantin Korotkov at Articles for deletion/Konstantin Korotkov. RJC Talk Contribs 19:51, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

GI glasses
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article GI glasses, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add  to the top of GI glasses. It is a complete duplicate of Birth Control Glasses. I've already copied those few unique ideas over to the latter article, and the former has no further redeeming value. An alternative exists: we could turn GI glasses into a redirect to Birth Control Glasses. ''' bahamut0013 ♠  ♣  00:31, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I have to say that I have no real problem going either way. If you feel that GI glasses should be kept and BCG made the redirect, then I will not object. As far as I am concerned, they are both slang terms, and while I think BCG has a more interesting name due to the humor of it, it does seem a less... official, for lack of a better term. So, by all means, do as you like and I will not attempt to stop or revert you; but if you haven't moved either way by the time May rolls around, I will act upon my own preference (assuming lack of interest in all other parties).

Speedy deletion of Hero for a Day
A tag has been placed on Hero for a Day requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band, 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. TheMile (talk) 23:18, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't remember exactly, but I think someone had hijacked Hero for a Day for some non notable band. That's what I nominated for deletion; I guess some admin restored it to a redirect.  Sorry about the confusion.  You can safely disregard the message.  TheMile (talk) 00:27, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

External links to avoid
The part of the guideline that the link to lolitron violated was in the section Links to avoid point 11. That fact is, lolitron is a blog, and under WP:EL blogs should not be linked to in an external links section unless the person is a well known expert in the industry. Blogs also can not be used as sources as they are generally not considered reliable sources. --Farix (Talk) 23:11, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello, members and friends of WP:LGBT! I'm not one to be writing newsletters, but I miss our cruise director, 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 tumbleweeds 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 WP:Medicine.) A spirited discussion is available for your entertainment on the 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 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 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 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  around stuff, you can clean up articles. There's a list of articles that need attention at the top of the WP:LGBT talk page. Or you can start with the Lambda Literary Awards, where the 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. The page needs to be updated with the new winners, to be found on the official website.

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 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 Dr. became a featured article in May. This is A Good Thing since it is my personal declaration that there is no such thing as lesbian porn. I don't care what 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
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, 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, 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 queens just got fed the f*ck up by the 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.

Fresh faces to brighten our pages
Hey, I've seen you around! Sorry there seem to be so many—it's been a while.

Gymnast infobox
Hello, Tyciol. You are listed as a member of WikiProject Gymnastics, but the project is listed as inactive, so I am contacting you personally on your talk page.

I have been bold and created an infobox for gymnastics biographical articles. I would appreciate any and all feedback on it, including changes and corrections. I took the basic fields from the FIG profiles and the one on the Nastia Liukin article, as well as pulling ones from other athlete infoboxes. I tried to be as thorough as possible, but I'm sure that I've left some things out. :) I have put together some samples of how the infobox currently looks at User:Kolindigo/Gymnastics Infobox Test.

I would like to start implementing the infobox on gymnastics biographies in about a week to give it time to settle in and get the kinks knocked out before the Olympics. Please come by, take a look, and make any changes you think would help. Kolindigo (talk) 05:47, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Typo redirect Baunt
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Baunt, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Baunt is a redirect page resulting from an implausible typo (CSD R3).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Baunt, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

The Blue Lagoon 1923 edition
Nearly everything I said about the Dick Cruickshank version, I got from the entry on the Internet Movie Database. I'm very surprised this isn't on archive.org as it is public domain. I've seen the direction attributed to Norman Lee and to W. Bowden, and to Cruickshank himself. Taori seems to think the 1948 version was first although he says there were "two or three" film versions. I should contact him about hunting up the 1923 version. Hope this helps. --Bluejay Young (talk) 20:15, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Another answer see Talk:Pedophile activism Legitimus (talk) 15:18, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * re: activism I wasn't sure if you wanted me to answer here or on my page, so I'll post here just in case. Objectivity is an ideal, some might say to be truly objective is impossible, but we try. I suppose one could say that in the scientific community, the label of "activism" is looked down upon, because a scientist does not seek to change things, only discover. If there was a group or movement such that you speak of, what would it even be composed of? I mean specific examples. I generally feel psychiatric and psychological research is pretty objective on the matter most of the time. Its the media that tends to go a little wacky with it. That's why I like direct journal quotes for refs. About my talk page: I started my account a long long time ago, but I didn't use it much. So, I never had much communication with anybody, and no real talk page dialogue. I eventually got inspired to start a few articles on obscure subjects. I like to archive conversations when they have been resolved or largely idle for some time, just because it's clutter.Legitimus (talk) 15:41, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I think what you refer to is public education, for instance here: . That's pretty common, though they are usually put out by major organizations like HHS, American Heart Association, etc., not individual scientists.  One other thing unrelated: Watch it with moving talk pages around and changing formatting.  It makes it hard to find parts of conversations if a user was previously was involved.  Even if their sectioning was technically incorrect, it's where users look when checking in.  I've lost my place a few times.Legitimus (talk) 22:16, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Galactiac
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Galactiac, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. --EEMIV (talk) 07:34, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Was there a reason? --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 20:59, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I did not manually add that, I found an updated version of the template coding (as you can see, the edit also changed the colour) and probably copied the whole thing indiscriminately forgetting that I had manually removed part of it. Even so, to be honest, I am sort of feeling differently, because I like it when people have logins. Tyciol (talk) 05:03, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Reply
Personally, I like your theory. I myself hadn't noticed it until I found it on Wikipedia. As you say, it seems way too much of a coincidence to name a girl with plant-manipulation powers with a plant cell. Great work, and thanks for replying on the discussion page :) A ( Reply!, Contribs ) 18:50, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Regardless, it's still a good point :) I've seen the discussion page for Klara Prast, and I've seen you brought up an interesting point: to create a seperate article consisting of notable characters on Runaways. What are your thoughts on this? I'd be perfectly willing to start the page. A ( Reply!, Contribs ) 00:44, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh and you should read Runaways! Runaways is the whole reason I got into comics in the first place; it stands as my favourite series. I garantee you would like it. A ( Reply!, Contribs ) 00:54, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Typo redirect Irenee
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Irenee, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Irenee is a redirect page resulting from an implausible typo (CSD R3).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Irenee, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Death Touch in Blood Sport
Jean-Claude does the death touch when he first arrives at the Kumite tournament. Before he can enter the tournament the officials make him prove that he trained under the shidoshi he claimed. So they set up a stack of bricks and tell him to demonstrate the "Death Touch" or Dem Mak. Jean-Claude then does the Death Touch on the bricks and they all explode. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.64.78.251 (talk) 22:35, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Humberht of the Tomsaete
Thanks for trying to improve our handling of this person, but his rdlk on the Dab Humberht was entirely appropriate, a text-only entry on a Dab is never permitted, and [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Humberht&diff=250896214&oldid=250896052 your conversion of the rdlk to text] was disruptive in concealing the need for an article to satisfy that lk. Each of the Rdrs you created pointing to that Dab served to increase the effort editors needed to make, to realize an article was waiting to be written; worse, a reasonable editor would infer, from your redirecting a geographic topic's title to a person, that you had made a well-informed judgment that there's nothing worth knowing about the Tomsaete that would be missing from a good biography of Humberht: that he was the heart and soul to them as Alexander the Great was to the Macedonian Empire, or Ross Perot was to the Reform Party. Your good intentions would probably profit from picking out some Dabs that interest you from Category:Disambiguation pages in need of cleanup, and watchlisting them to see what your colleagues do to deal with those Dabs' respective problems.
