Adoption

Hi. I notice that you've requested adoption, and I'd like to offer to adopt you. If you'd like to accept, please leave me a message on my talk page. --Sopoforic 01:32, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

:We can start now. If you'd like, tell me a little about what you'd like to get out of the adoption. Generally, when I adopt users, I just make myself available to answer questions, and occasionally offer suggestions; if you'd prefer more active guidance in any way, then let me know and I'll do whatever I can. I'll look forward to working with you. --Sopoforic 02:56, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

'Everything I know' is a bit of tall order, but I like your spirit! There are some things which are best learned by participation, but I'll help where I can. How about this: I'll provide you with a list of the broad areas of wikipedia knowledge I have, and you can tell me how much you feel you know about them, ask me any question you have, and let me know which you'd most like to start with.

  • Basic wiki syntax
  • Image use
  • Templates
  • Copyright issues
  • Citations/referencing
  • Articles for Deletion/Speedy Deletion/etc.
  • Good Article/Featured Article process
  • Dispute resolution
  • Blocking
  • Protection
  • Wikiprojects
  • Anything I've missed that you'd like to discuss

Note that I'm likely to respond to general questions with a brief summary and links to pages where you can learn more. You should always feel free to ask for clarification or more detail. I've left off that list many smaller (and possibly large) policies and processes that I don't encounter very much, although I am fairly familiar with most of them. I'll tell you now that templates aren't my strongest point--I've made a couple, and done a little modification, but we'd be better off finding someone more knowledgeable if you have complicated questions about parser functions.

Regarding myself: I'm around pretty frequently in the evening US Eastern Time (GMT-5), and often into the morning hours. University starts again in a week, and based on my schedule right now I'm likely to check things throughout the day as well; so, basically, I'll be around any time. --Sopoforic 03:39, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

:Very well, image use: it's covered basically at WP:IMAGE, but there are several subtopics. Image syntax, which lets you choose how to position the image, what size to make it, what caption to give it, and such. See also the manual of style section on images for tips on how to use them in articles.

:After this, we have free use and fair use. Free use images are those that are licensed under a free license, or are public domain. Here free licenses are GPL, GFDL, CC-BY, CC-BY-SA, the Free Art License, and several others (there is a list here and extensive information about the public domain here). In particular, the licenses must allow commercial use and derivatives, and must not be specifically for wikipedia, since we want the images to be usable by downstream users as well. These images should generally be moved to [http://commons.wikimedia.org/ the Commons] (which only accepts free images) so they can be accessed by any Wikimedia project.

:Fair use images are any images that aren't under a free license. We have strict policies (here) that determine when a fair use image can be used; basically, they can be used only when they cannot be replaced by a free image, and when they contribute substantially to the article in which they are used. Each image used under fair use must have a fair use rationale explaining why it is acceptable in each article in which it is used (the guideline for that is here). In particular we do not allow fair use images on user pages, and we usually do not allow fair use images of living people--since those could be replaced by a free photo. Also, featured articles should not contain fair use images.

:Finally, I think, we have featured pictures. These are pictures released under a free license that have been determined to be be of the highest quality, and which are of great encyclopedic value.

:I think that covers all the major points of image use; if I've left something out that you want to know, or if you have any questions, feel free to ask. You needn't contact me to let me know when you're around--the communication on-wiki is asymmetric, and is rather poor at imitating symmetric communications. Treat it more like email; leave me a message when you want to discuss something, and I'll respond to it when I see it. I was just letting you know when I'm around so you'd have an idea of when you could expect me to respond, and so you'd know the reason for delays. --Sopoforic 04:15, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Creating articles

I assume you mean creating new articles, since you've already made edits to existing articles. The canonical set of pages on this topic are Wikipedia:Your first article, Wikipedia:The perfect article, and Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles (which is fairly large).

The most important part of writing a new article is choosing a topic: your topic must be notable. In essence, we consider a topic notable if multiple, independent sources (independent of both the subject of the article and each other) which are reliable have written about it substantially (not just a passing reference). The full general guideline is at Wikipedia:Notability, which has links to subject-specific guidelines. We require notability mostly because notability (by our definition) ensures that there will be sufficient sources to write a neutral article on the subject.

After choosing a topic, you should find reliable sources that describe it. Wikipedia prohibits original research, so any statements we make in articles should be backed up by references to reliable sources--any disputed material that isn't cited may be removed by any editor. In particular, biographies must be well-referenced: unreferenced negative statements in biographies are to be removed in all cases; that is not to say that all biographies must be positive (although they should be neutral), only that negative statements should be backed up by our sources. We don't want to libel anyone.

Once you've chosen your topic and found your sources, you may begin to write the article. The manual of style has a lot of information about our common style, and I find Wikipedia:Guide to layout and WP:LEDE to be extremely useful when I'm writing an article. It's also important to keep in mind the guidelines on external links and fair use images while writing your article. As well, I'd like to remind you that the lead section should only summarise the article, and should not contain any information not found elsewhere in the article. Many articles have an incorrect lede--I've even done this myself--so try to be sure yours isn't one of them.

Once you've got the article text done, be sure to categorize the article into any appropriate categories so that it can be found and maintained. You might also consider submitting something to Wikipedia:Did you know in order to expose your article more. If you think your article meets the criteria at Wikipedia:What is a good article?, you could submit it as a good article candidate.

You needn't write a featured article all by yourself, though. Even a good stub is a vaulable contribution, since it encourages participation by other editors as well.

That ought to be a pretty thorough guide to all you need to know for article creation. If you have any questions, just let me know, and I'll be glad to explain further. Happy editing. --Sopoforic 20:31, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for [[:Image:Callaway logo.gif]]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to :Image:Callaway logo.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 23:47, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi.

Noticed your improvements to the Callaway article. Good so far. Remember when uploading images that unless you provide a Fair-use rational for images you get from other web sites, they will probably be deleted by an administrator. I also fixed the image page for the picture of the school building because you didn't choose a license for it. Anyway, nice to "meet" other "family" on WP! -- ALLSTAR ECHO 01:06, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

:Also remember when you comment on someone's user talk page or on an article's talk page, sign your comments with four ~ symbols.

:Example: Oh Thanks a lot. I would like yout help on improving the page if you have the time. ~~~~

:Those four ~ symbols will automatically sign your comment! When I do it, it gives the yellow and green signature you see here---> -- ALLSTAR ECHO 01:46, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, and Invitation!

Hi, {{BASEPAGENAME}}, welcome to WikiProject LGBT Studies!

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 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 article quality assessment, peer review and 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, Jumpaclass, so please consider signing up there.
  • If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to our translation section, to help us improve our foreign LGBT topics.
  • If you're planning to stay, have a square in our quilt! You can put anything you want in it.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you.

And once again - Welcome!

Userboxen and subpages

Hey, it's been a while. It's good to see that you're still contributing. As for userboxes, I'm afraid I'm no expert, but I can point you in the right direction. Wikipedia:Userboxes contains a good bit of instructions on how to create userboxes (and note also the already-created userboxes contained in the lists linked at the bottom of the page). If you do have trouble creating one, feel free to ping me and I'll check and see if I can discover the problem; if I can't work it out, you can always ask over at Wikipedia:Requested templates for more expert help (and if you're doing anything too esoteric, it might be better to ask there first, since my template-fu is not so strong).

You also asked "Also, could possibly expand my userpage by adding a new page?". I think that by this you mean that you want to create additional user pages--if so, then see WP:SUBPAGE#How_to_create_user_subpages for information on that; the whole of WP:SUBPAGE should be more or less useful to be aware of. I personally use subpages as a sort of personal sandbox to work on new articles and templates (like User:Sopoforic/Sandbox), and also for organizational purposes--I have a subpage containing the barnstar I received (User:Sopoforic/Barnstars), for example. (If this isn't the question you meant to ask, then please just reply with a clarification on my talk page.)

One thing further: I notice that about a third of your edits are to your user page; while there's nothing wrong with making your user page look nice, and editing it as you see fit (indeed I have about as many edits in my userspace as you have total), I'd like to encourage you not to worry too much about your user page. Ultimately, your contributions to the encyclopedia are much more valuable, and people will judge you much more on the content of your edits to the encyclopedia than the beauty of your user page (in fact, Betacommand has told me that he doesn't even look at user pages--when he wants to learn about an editor he goes straight to their talk page, which he considers more useful; this is probably not a bad idea).

I hope that this helps you out. As always, feel free to contact me if there's anything more I can do from you; I'm happy to hear from you, especially if I can help you in some way. Cheers. --Sopoforic 21:37, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Regarding [[Callaway High School]]

I'm glad you have a project that interests you. I made a small edit to Callaway High School to fix some issues with whitespace and a missing parameter; it should be clear how this worked. Since you're editing this article somewhat heavily, I wanted to make sure that you were aware of the watchlist feature of Mediawiki. It's very useful for monitoring changes to pages you're interested in--I have 537 pages on my watchlist at the moment, but I've had as many as around 800 at one point. It can get a little overwhelming when you have a lot of pages on there, but it's very manageable even with several hundred pages watched.

One other thing I wanted to check with you: you added :Image:Callaway school.jpg to the article, having uploaded it to commons. Then Allstarecho marked it as Public Domain. Has this image really been released into the public domain? I see that it came from the school's web site, and in general images on school web sites aren't in the public domain. If you have got an email releasing it into the public domain (or under some acceptable license), you will want to forward that to the permissions queue (the process is outlined at Wikipedia:Requesting_copyright_permission#When_permission_is_confirmed). I think I mentioned it at some point before, but you should note that 'by permission' is not an acceptable license for images on Wikipedia (or especially on the Commons).

If you made a mistake in uploading the image to commons, and it isn't in fact free (by our--wikipedia's--quirky definition of free), then let me know and I'll request it to be deleted from commons. Or, if you prefer, you can request deletion for it yourself; the commons deletion guidelines give pretty clear instructions on how to do that.

Good luck with your projects; let me know if there's anything I can do to help you. --Sopoforic 00:27, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Non-free images on user page

Much though I hate to be the bearer of bad news, non-free images are not allowed on user pages. You may link to the images (by placing a colon before the name, like :Image:Wikipedia.png), but not display them. I've converted them to links in this way; you may remove them entirely if you desire. --Sopoforic 02:35, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Regarding: Image:Royal Rumble - 00hr 16min 36sec edited.jpg

Well, the {{tl|WWE-photo}} template is inappropriate--it isn't an official publicity photo, it's a screenshot; I've removed that. I also modified the FUR slightly; you'll want to replace the 'source' with whatever the title of the video you took the screencap is--probably Royal Rumble 2007 or something, but I don't know. Otherwise this doesn't seem too bad. I'm not familiar with this event in particular or PPV events in general, but I am going to assume that the people attending (shown in :Image:Undertaker winning the Rumble.jpg) were not allowed to bring cameras with them. If people were allowed to take photos of the event it's a little less clear, since we might hope to get free photos. Still, at present it seems to me that you just need to be a little more clear about the source of the image.

I'm going to end here without any further discussion of fair use rationales (unusual for me, since I seem to be a bit long-winded) since it's 4am and I have class tomorrow--today. Good night. --Sopoforic 08:07, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Issue X - October 1, 2007

valign="top" style="border: 1px purple solid; padding: 1em; width: 75%; " |

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: Bu852, JuniorMuruin, Laualoha, JereKrischel, Dybryd, Sexperts, Ctjf83, Allstarecho, Johnandbob, Carlossuarez46, and Carterdriggs!

;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 :-)

;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 Good Article status. Congratulations to all editors who have worked so hard to improve them! While the T-Z list was promoted to Featured list on September 26, 2007, we have had no articles reach 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 Feartured Article Candidates page. (See also 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.

;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

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!

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Royal Rumble - 00hr 16min 36sec edited.jpg)

25px Thanks for uploading :Image:Royal Rumble - 00hr 16min 36sec edited.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 15:27, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

__NOTOC__

Hey, Peeps, it's that time of the month again (no not that time — 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!!!

{{clear}}

{| style="font-size: 90%;"

|-

| valign="top" |

=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.

| 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 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.

Kisses,

Miss Julie

Here comes Santa Claus, Here comes Santa Claus, right down Santa Claus lane! Ho, ho ho (but not that kind of ho!) and Merry Christmas, everybody! Yes, that's right. It's time for the Christmas edition of the LGBT Love Boat newsletter. This homo Love Boat is cruising into Christmas and counting down the days to a brand new year! It doesn't matter if you're Christian or belong to some other, more obscure sect. Jesus loves you one and all, so let's curl up around the fire, sing some carols, drink some egg nog, and have a gay old time. But before we do, perhaps your chipper cruise director Miss Julie should spread the gender bendin' news from [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBT studies|everyone's favorite project....

Quelle Suprise! King James is a Queen!

Our dear Haiduc, never a stranger to controversy, recently decided to delve into the wardrobe of the British Monarchy, and what did he discover? King James had more than appreciative eyes for 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 socks to play with. All seemed lost until astute editor Jeffpw noticed some odd postings and did some sleuthing of his own. The socks were uncovered, the Wicked Witch was 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 might not know) that tube steak tastes just like chicken!

It's Britney, Bitch!

Well, maybe it's not Miss Thang, herself, but it's the next best thing: 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 Miss Parker herself said, "You can lead a whore to culture, but you can't make her think".

Game show for nerds

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 Greek Traditionalists and Daughters of Bilitis are well represented. The ever useful SatyrTN has made a little list, which can be found 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.

Jón Þór Birgisson

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 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 doll. So please watchlist this hunka man, and keep him queer! If anybody questions you, tell them "Miss Julie sent me".

Everybody loves a sequel

Readers not afflicted with Alzheimer's will remember that last month we had a little story about Alice and her harasser. That proved so popular that we bring you the sequel: Benjiboi and his stalker. After a chance meeting at the 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??

Not quite the second coming, but special just the same

Let me be the first to give a warm, wet, Love Boat kiss (though not with tongue) to our newest Project members: Jacksinterweb, Cleduc, Pigman, Becksguy and 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, "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!"

    ;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 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 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 (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 barnstars, 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 project page and 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 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, "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: SatyrTN, Dev920, Aleta, Becksguy, Otto4711, BelovedFreak, Benjiboi, Bookkeeper of the Occult, Queerudite, FisherQueen (I will marry you), PaulB, APK, ZigZig20s, AllStarEcho (I know you're out there), Raystorm, and my very own copy editor, 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 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

    Don't go home yet, please. --Moni3 (talk) 00:10, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

    Editing tips

    This is a new section in the newsletter to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style, which should help them in editing not only professional wrestling articles, but all articles in general.

    1. Avoid using bolding to emphasize text. See MOS:BOLD for appropriate uses of bold text.
    2. If you do not want your information removed from articles, please use proper grammar and cite your sources.
    3. Please avoid adding rumors to articles. Most rumors cannot be sourced with a reliable source and go against the Biographies of Living Persons policy.
    4. Avoid jargon such as face/babayface, heel, turn, etc. in articles. People unfamiliar with professional wrestling will not understand what these words mean. See WP:JARGON for more information.

    Editing tips

    This is a new section in the newsletter to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

    1. When expanding pay-per-view articles, avoid using wrestling jargon without an explanation, per WP:JARGON, maintain an out-of-universe perspective of the article, per WP:IN-U, and avoid writing in excess detail, per WP:PLOT. For further information see WP:PW/PPVG.
    2. Our project has a cleanup listing. Please help by adding sources or expanding any articles listed here.
    3. Per WP:MOSCAPS, television shows, such as RAW and iMPACT!, should be written as Raw and Impact!.
    4. Due to a new consensus formed by Wikipedia users, dates should be unlinked in all articles, per WP:MOSNUM.
    5. Please familiarize yourself with the general notability policy of Wikipedia. Avoid creating new articles that do not satisfy the requirements.
    6. Avoid overlinking in an article. If a subject has been linked once already in the body paragraphs, there is no need to link it again, unless the length of the article requires it to be linked a second time. Lists are the only exceptions to this policy.

    Editing tips

    ----

    This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

    1. Do not link the title of an article in its lead section if the title is already in bold, per WP:LEDE.
    2. When expanding pay-per-view articles, avoid using wrestling jargon without an explanation, per WP:JARGON, maintain an out-of-universe perspective of the article, per WP:IN-U, and avoid writing in excess detail, per WP:PLOT. For further information see WP:PW/PPVG.
    3. Our project has a cleanup listing. Please help by adding sources or expanding any articles listed here.
    4. When the title of an refers to several things, it is necessary to provide links or disambiguate the page so that readers typing in that title can quickly navigate to the article that interests them. For example: World Heavyweight Championship (WWE).
    5. When editing an article, use the edit summary to provide a brief summary of your edits; this helps users understand what was changed in the article.

    4. When the title of an refers to several things, it is necessary to provide links or disambiguate the page so that readers typing in that title can quickly navigate to the article that interests them. For example: World Heavyweight Championship (WWE).
    5. Addition of content that is likely to be challenged in an article needs to be verified with a reliable source
    6. Do not overlink terms in an article, only make links where they are relevant to the context.

    Editing tips

    ----

    This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

    1. All Wikipedia articles should be written from a neutral point-of-view.
    2. Do not overlink terms in an article, only make links where they are relevant to the context, and only link each item once. Tables are the exception to this rule, e.g. the results table in pay-per-view articles.
    3. When editing an article, use the edit summary to provide a brief summary of your edits; this helps users understand what was changed in the article.
    4. Avoid using dirtsheets as sources. Adhere to WP:RS when adding information with a source to articles. For a list of reliable and unreliable wrestling-related sources see Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Style guide#Sources.
    5. Per WP:MOSCAPS, television shows, such as RAW and iMPACT!, should be written as Raw and Impact!.

    Editing tips

    ----

    This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

    1. Consider expanding an article from the project's list of stub articles and nominating it at Did You Know?. The project's goal is to have 100 total DYKs by the end of the year, and we are currently on 74.
    2. Avoid using dirtsheets as sources. Adhere to WP:RS when adding information with a source to articles. For a list of reliable and unreliable wrestling-related sources see Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Style guide#Sources.
    3. When editing an article, use the edit summary to provide a brief summary of your edits; this helps users understand what was changed in the article.
    4. All Wikipedia articles should be written from a neutral point-of-view, representing fairly, and as far as possible without bias, all significant views that have been published by reliable sources.
    5. The project's New Year's Resolutions are listed here, and a list of topics that are close to Good topic status is listed here. Consider helping by achieving an aim listed or by improving an article on the Topics list to Good Article status.

    Editing Tips

    ----

    This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

    1. Avoid using dirtsheets as sources. Adhere to WP:RS when adding information with a source to articles. For a list of reliable and unreliable wrestling-related sources see Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Style guide#Sources.
    2. Refer to WP:NC during the process of renaming an article, if a name does not adhere to these guidelines, be bold and move the article to the correct target name. If there is a naming conflict, follow the steps to a resolution or discuss the move on the project's talk page.
    3. Avoid overlinking in an article. If a subject has been linked once already in the body paragraphs, there is no need to link it again. Lists are the only exceptions to this policy.
    4. The lead section of an article should introduce the subject and summarize the entire article's contents. The size of the lead will depend on the size of the article.
    5. Adhere strictly to the Biographies of living persons policy when adding to information to biography articles.

    :#Only add controversial, possibly contentious or libellous information if it comes from a reliable source and is verifiable.

    :#Make sure that all information contained in biographies of living persons is written from a non-point of view perspective.

    This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

    1. The project's New Year's Resolutions are listed here, and a list of topics that are close to Good topic status is listed here. Consider helping by achieving an aim listed or by improving an article on the Topics list to Good Article status.
    2. Please familiarize yourself with the general notability policy of Wikipedia. Avoid creating new articles that do not satisfy the requirements.
    3. When the title of an refers to several things, it is necessary to provide links or disambiguate the page so that readers typing in that title can quickly navigate to the article that interests them. For example: World Heavyweight Championship (WWE).
    4. Please avoid adding rumors to articles. Most rumors cannot be sourced with a reliable source and go against the Biographies of living persons policy.
    5. Be aware of words to avoid. Certain words, if chosen poorly, can subtly promote a point of view.

    Editing Tips

    ----

    This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

    1. Trivia sections are discouraged in wikipedia articles. Information from such sections, if notable, should be merged into the main body of the article.
    2. Avoid adding statements that will date quickly, for example "soon" and "now".
    3. Avoid using dirtsheets as sources. Adhere to WP:RS when adding information with a source to articles. For a list of reliable and unreliable wrestling-related sources see Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Style guide#Sources.
    4. The lead section of an article should introduce the subject and summarize the entire article's contents. The size of the lead will depend on the size of the article.
    5. Avoid using bolding to emphasize text. See MOS:BOLD for appropriate uses of bold text.

    • As part of the project's New Year's Resolutions, there is an ongoing effort to decrease the number of stubs to 10%. As of June 21, we are at 11.73%, with 488 articles currently in :Category:Stub-Class Professional wrestling articles. It still would be greatly appreciated if members would expand, source and improve stub articles, and a list has been placed on the stub article subpage of stub articles of well-known wrestlers and tag teams that should be fairly easy to improve.
    • Based on the members list, there are currently 224 members participating in WikiProject Professional wrestling.
    • The WP:PW cleanup listing was updated for the first time in three months. Please help out with fixing any of the problems listed, and removing them from the list.
    • There is an on-going discussion here regarding the "In wrestling" section of biographies, and what should and should not be included. All opinions are welcome.

    Editing Tips

    ----

    This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

    1. If you come across an article that fails notability requirements, tou can tag it for speedy deletion if the criteria apply, propose it for deletion, or nominate it at WP:AFD.
    2. Do not give undue weight to recent events in articles.
    3. If making a controversial change, or one that will affect a wide range of article, please gain consensus from the project first.
    4. Avoid adding statements that will date quickly, for example "soon" and "now".
    5. Avoid using dirtsheets as sources. Adhere to WP:RS when adding information with a source to articles. For a list of reliable and unreliable wrestling-related sources see Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Style guide#Sources.

    ;Stonewall riots

    ;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 holding area and if you push yourself to get an article together you might be able to get in on the fun. Do this now!

    The official rules for DYKs can be found 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 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.

    ;Trans quotes needed for Portal:Transgender

    The layout for the individual quotes is here (just copy/paste into one of the red links on Portal:Transgender/Random quote). Then this counter has to be upped to match the new # of total quotes (not counting quote zero).

    ;Obama proclamation

    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.

    ;F*ck me I'm famous

    I was interviewed by Wikipedia Signpost, the weekly in-house newsletter, for the 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 "man-humping, cock-sucking, doggy-style loving queer" but otherwise did ok.

    ;Free image appeal

    A friendly reminder to consider taking photos while you're out and about at various Dyke marches and Pride parades. 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 cha-cha or hoo-hoo-dilly.

    ;Chaz Bono

    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 good way.

    ;R U Popular?

    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.

    ;Article alerts

    As part of the redecorating at 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.

    ;Glambert

    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.

    ;Community Quilt reminder

    Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Quilt - update it and add yourself!

    ;Our own little IRC home

    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 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!

    ;LGBT to-do list (held over from last edition)

    • Give out more barnstars, 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 project page and 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 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. [...]
    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.
    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. [...]
    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. [...]
    I call upon the people of the United States to turn back discrimination and prejudice everywhere it exists. - Barack Obama, [http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Presidential-Proclamation-LGBT-Pride-Month/ Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month, 2009], The White House (June 1, 2009).}}

    Editing Tips

    ----

    This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

    1. Trivia sections are discouraged in wikipedia articles. Information from such sections, if notable, should be merged into the main body of the article.
    2. The project's New Year's Resolutions are listed here, and a list of topics that are close to Good topic status is listed here. Consider helping by achieving an aim listed or by improving an article on the Topics list to Good Article status.
    3. Please familiarize yourself with the general notability policy of Wikipedia. Avoid creating new articles that do not satisfy the requirements.
    4. Refer to WP:NC during the process of renaming an article, if a name does not adhere to these guidelines, be bold and move the article to the correct target name. If there is a naming conflict, follow the steps to a resolution or discuss the move on the project's talk page.
    5. Avoid overlinking in an article. If a subject has been linked once already in the body paragraphs, there is no need to link it again. Lists are the only exceptions to this policy.

    1. Adhere strictly to the Biographies of living persons policy when adding to information to biography articles.

    :#Only add controversial, possibly contentious or libellous information if it comes from a reliable source and is verifiable.

    :#Make sure that all information contained in biographies of living persons is written from a non-point of view perspective and is neutral.

    1. Avoid using dirtsheets as sources. Adhere to WP:RS when adding information with a source to articles. For a list of reliable and unreliable wrestling-related sources see Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Style guide#Sources.
    2. If a sentence seems to be untrue or does not have a source, add a {{fact}} tag directly after it. In the case of biographies of living persons, if the material is contentious and either unsourced or poorly sourced, it should be removed immediately.
    3. Please remember that fair use images and media can be only be used if no free equivalent is available or could be created. Fair use images uploaded when a free equivalent exists will be deleted.
    4. If making a controversial change, or one that will affect a wide range of article, please gain consensus from the project first.

    Editing Tips

    ----

    This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

    1. The project's New Year's Resolutions are listed here, and a list of topics that are close to Good topic status is listed here. Consider helping by achieving an aim listed or by improving an article on the Topics list to Good Article status.
    2. If you come across an article that fails notability requirements, you can tag it for speedy deletion if the criteria apply, propose it for deletion, or nominate it at WP:AFD.
    3. The lead section of an article should introduce the subject and summarize the entire article's contents. The size of the lead will depend on the size of the article.
    4. Please avoid adding rumors to articles. Most rumors cannot be sourced with a reliable source and go against the Biographies of living persons policy.
    5. Be aware of the new format in the "In wrestling" sections of biographies, and apply the relevant section (WP:PW/SG#In wrestling) to new articles that you create, or previously created articls that have not yet been updated after the change.

    Editing Tips

    ----

    This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

    1. Adhere strictly to the Biographies of living persons policy when adding to information to biography articles.

    :#Only add controversial, possibly contentious or libellous information if it comes from a reliable source and is verifiable.

    :#Make sure that all information contained in biographies of living persons is written from a non-point of view perspective and is neutral.

    1. Avoid using dirtsheets as sources. Adhere to WP:RS when adding information with a source to articles. For a list of reliable and unreliable wrestling-related sources see Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Style guide#Sources.
    2. Please remember that fair use images and media can be only be used if no free equivalent is available or could be created. Fair use images uploaded when a free equivalent exists will be deleted.
    3. Refer to WP:NC during the process of renaming an article, if a name does not adhere to these guidelines, be bold and move the article to the correct target name. If there is a naming conflict, follow the steps to a resolution or discuss the move on the project's talk page.
    4. Trivia sections are discouraged in wikipedia articles. Information from such sections, if notable, should be merged into the main body of the article.

    4. Avoid overlinking in an article. If a subject has been linked once already in the body paragraphs, there is no need to link it again. Lists are the only exceptions to this policy.
    5. Do not give undue weight to recent events in articles.

    Editing Tips

    ----

    This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

    1. Trivia sections are discouraged in wikipedia articles. Information from such sections, if notable, should be merged into the main body of the article.
    2. If making a controversial change, or one that will affect a wide range of article, please gain consensus from the project first.
    3. Please familiarize yourself with the general notability policy of Wikipedia. Avoid creating new articles that do not satisfy the requirements.
    4. Refer to WP:NC during the process of renaming an article, if a name does not adhere to these guidelines, be bold and move the article to the correct target name. If there is a naming conflict, follow the steps to a resolution or discuss the move on the project's talk page.
    5. Avoid adding statements that will date quickly, for example "soon" and "now".

    Editing Tips

    ----

    This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

    1. Do not give undue weight to recent events in articles.
    2. If you come across an article that fails notability requirements, you can tag it for speedy deletion if the criteria apply, propose it for deletion, or nominate it at WP:AFD.
    3. Avoid using dirtsheets as sources. Adhere to WP:RS when adding information with a source to articles. For a list of reliable and unreliable wrestling-related sources see Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Style guide#Sources.
    4. Please remember that fair use images and media can be only be used if no free equivalent is available or could be created. Fair use images uploaded when a free equivalent exists will be deleted.
    5. Be aware of words to avoid. Certain words, if chosen poorly, can subtly promote a point of view.

    Editing Tips

    ----

    This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

    1. If you come across an article that fails notability requirements, you can tag it for speedy deletion if the criteria apply, propose it for deletion, or nominate it at WP:AFD.
    2. Trivia sections are discouraged in wikipedia articles. Information from such sections, if notable, should be merged into the main body of the article.
    3. When adding headers to articles, do not add wikilinks to them and only capitalize the first letter of the first word and any proper nouns.
    4. Avoid adding statements that will date quickly, for example "soon" and "now".
    5. The project's New Year's Resolutions are listed here, and we only have short amount of time left to achieve them this year. Please consider helping out by achieving an aim listed.

    WikiProject Professional wrestling newsletter message

    It has recently been brought to the attention of WP:PW that the newsletter is being to delivered to several users who have not been actively editing for several months. As a result, their talk pages have become increasingly large, unmanageable and slow to load due to a lack of archiving.
    In response, this message is being sent to all editors listed in :Category:WikiProject Professional wrestling participants to say that anyone who does not list their name at Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Active before May 16 will be automatically listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Nospam, and will no longer receive the newsletter or any notification of it. If you are added to Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Nospam, please feel free to remove your name if you desire.
    If you wish to continue receiving the newsletter as normal, please add your name to Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Active. If you simply wish to receive notification of a new issue, but not have the full newsletter delivered to your talk page, please add your name to the notification only list.
    If you have any queries please contact me at my talk page or leave a message at WT:PW. Thank you for your co-operation. ♥NiciVampireHeart♥ 00:36, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

    Editing Tips

    This section is devoted to helping project members become familiar with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

    ----

    1. Trivia sections are discouraged in wikipedia articles. Information from such sections, if notable, should be merged into the main body of the article.
    2. The lead section of an article should introduce the subject and summarize the entire article.
    3. Please consider helping out with the project's cleanup listing by fixing problems listed and removing the article from the listing.
    4. Please familiarize yourself with the general notability policy of Wikipedia. Avoid creating new articles that do not satisfy the requirements.
    5. Avoid adding statements that will date quickly, for example "soon" and "now".
