Welcome to the LGBT Studies WikiProject!

Hi, Cymru.lass, welcome to WikiProject LGBT Studies! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying, categorizing, and improving articles regarding lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) and intersex people. LGBT Studies covers people, culture, history, and related subjects concerning sexual identity and gender identity - this covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated! Some points that may be helpful: Our main aim is to help improve articles, so if someone seeks help, please try to assist if you are able. Likewise feel free to ask for help, advice or clarification. Many important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it. If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to our translation section, to help us improve our foreign LGBT topics. 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're going to stay awhile, please create a square in our project 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!

Adoption

Hi! As a fellow female teen nerd, I thought I'd be the first to offer to adopt you. You can learn about me on my userpage or by reading my userboxes. I've been on Wikipedia for a couple of years and I'm always happy to help out new users. You can get back to me any time at my talk page. strdst_grl (call me Stardust) 07:22, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

In that case, perhaps I'm not the best adopter for you. Try the list at Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User/Adoptee's Area/Adopters to find particular users - for example, User:Dev920 is involved in LGBT. strdst_grl (call me Stardust) 22:30, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

I also came to offer adoption, but if strdst_grl isn't right for you, I believe I will be much the same. You might consider removing the adoptme template from your user page, as most adopters will not be what you're looking for...try the list as she suggested above. The offer still stands if you want me though. - Draeco (talk) 22:39, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

The Counter-Vandalism Unit is your nexus for fighting vandalism. Tons of good tools, etc are outlined there. As for a guideline for copyediting, the most general advice I can give is to consult the Manual of Style for any given topic. If you have a specific question, I might be of more help. - Draeco (talk) 03:35, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Backlog Elimination Drive Wrap-up

Thanks very much to all who helped with the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive. We were very close to meeting our target of 7,500 articles remaining in the backlog. Our most shining success is the incredible reduction in the backlog of Special Requests. That part of the project saw a drop from 62 articles in the queue, some dating back to February of 2009, down to a stunning THREE, all of which were being edited at the close of the drive. The Special Requests page will now be a great resource for people looking to tidy up their article in advance of a GA or FA nomination, instead of a place where articles go to die. Moving forward GOCE backlog elimination drive chart up to 31 May The drive has not only forced a great leap forward in reducing the backlog. It has helped promote the Guild, and led to a greater awareness of the level of vigilance required to keep the backlog manageable. Ideas such as charts, graphs, and barnstars helped motivate editors, and meeting other users helped quell any feelings gnomish editors may have had in the past that they were toiling all alone. Keep up the good work people!! Stats Almost everyone who participated will receive a barnstar. We will be handing these out over the next week or so. Five people will receive the highest award for word count (80,000 or more), the Most Excellent Order of the Caretaker's Star: Bullock, Diannaa, NielsenGW, S Masters, and Torchiest. The Order of the Superior Scribe (40,000+) goes to Auntieruth55, Bobnorwal, Kojozone, Lfstevens, and Mlpearc. fds wins the Modern Guild of Copy Editors Barnstar (30,000+). The Old School League of Copyeditors Barnstar for 20,000+ is awarded to A. Parrot, mono, Truthkeeper88, and The Utahraptor. the Tireless Conributor Barnstar (12,000+) goes to dtgriffith, Laurinavicius, and Quinxorin. Buggie111, Brickie, cymru lass, liquidluck, noraft, and Yellow Monkey get the Cleanup Barnstar for 8,000+ words. The Working Man's Barnstar for 4,000+ words goes to Annalise and fetchcomms. The Modest Barnstar is awarded to Theo10011 and The Tito. Gold Star Award The Gold Star Award goes to the top editor in three challenges: Number of special requests fulfilled, number of articles edited, and number of words. Here are the final results. Final results: Gold Star Award: Requests Articles Words 1. SMasters (17) Torchiest (250) NielsenGW (150,360) 2. Bobnorwal (13) Diannaa (212) Diannaa (136,200) 3.

My user page

Thanks! I created separate pages for the headers instead of just putting the code at the top of each page in order to avoid clutter. Just place {{/Header}} at the top of each page for which you want to create a header, copy the coding from my pages (for example, I have User:The Man in Question/Header, User:The Man in Question/Contributions/Header, User talk:The Man in Question/Header, and User:The Man in Question/Other/Header), and put the coding into the link you've created. — the Man in Question (in question) 21:45, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you very much for signing up for the July Backlog Elimination Drive! The copyedit backlog stretches back two and a half years, all the way back to the beginning of 2008! We're really going to need all the help we can muster to get it down to a manageable number. We've ambitiously set a goal of clearing all of 2008 from the backlog this month. In order to do that, we're going to need more participants. Is there anyone that you can invite or ask to participate with you? If so, we're offering an award to the person who brings in the most referrals. Just notify ɳorɑfʈ ^Talk! or Diannaa ^TALK of who your referrals are.

Please don't

template the regulars. I'll admit it was kind of funny given that I've been blocking as many vandals as I've warned today :) I assure you, since I passed RFA based on fighting vandalism, I know how to warn them. Huggle however, sometimes crashes mid-action, and it's usually not worth the hassle to finish the warnings it drops. Courcelles (talk) 21:45, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Allrighty sorry about that! :P --- cymru lass ^{(hit me up)}⁄_{(background check)} 21:46, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, welcome to the weird world of tools and scripts. The number of things I have no idea how to do without them is truly staggering. I don't think I ever opened an AFD or sent someone to AIV without using one... Courcelles (talk) 21:52, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Nice :) What tools do you use? I'm on Lupin, Twinkle, WikEd and HotCat. --- cymru lass ^{(hit me up)}⁄_{(background check)} 21:54, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Twinkle does just about everything, just very slowly. Huggle and Igloo (which I've never tried) have uses, mainly fighting vandalism, but I also use Huggle to clear out AIV backlogs as it allows easy viewing of diffs and blocks and templates in one click. (Both of those require Rollback rights to work... but that would take me three clicks to turn on for you, if you'd like, and if you read WP:ROLLBACK and promise only to use the button on obvious vandalism.) There's more scripts in my monobook file, but how many would be useful for a non-admin, I don't really know. Courcelles (talk) 21:59, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

I've wanted to give Huggle a try for the longest time, but I don't have rollbacker permission yet. How do you like working with it? --- cymru lass ^{(hit me up)}⁄_{(background check)} 22:04, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

HUggle's easy... when it doesn't crash. Read the link above, and I'll turn the button on for you. Courcelles (talk) 22:05, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Aw, thanks. I've read the Rollback page. :) --- cymru lass ^{(hit me up)}⁄_{(background check)} 22:25, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Alright, then, done. Take it slow with things like Huggle, it's fairly easy to use, but it is still possible to make a right mess if you're not careful. Courcelles (talk) 22:31, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely keep that in mind—I don't want to make any stupid mistakes. --- cymru lass ^{(hit me up)}⁄_{(background check)} 22:32, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Backlog Elimination Drive Has Begun

Hello, I just wanted to take a moment and announce that the July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive has started, and will run for a month. Thanks for signing up. There's a special prize for most edits on the first day, in case you've got high ambitions. Enjoy! ɳorɑfʈ ^Talk! 04:15, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

GOCE Newsletter

GOCE July 2010 backlog elimination drive chart Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive! We have now passed the halfway point, so here's an update. Progress Report - Progress toward the targets has been good. 751 articles out of the approximately 1,600 we would like to get completed by the end of the month were done by July 15, so we will be very close to meeting the target for volume. However, we would like to clear all of the 2008 articles from the backlog, and there are still 892 left to do. Please consider choosing one of these older articles when looking for something to copy edit. If we focus our firepower we can completely wipe out 2008 from the queue. Participation Report - 95 people signed up for the July drive. This is a great result compared to May, when we had 36. However, in May only one person that signed up didn't do any copy edits, and in July only 59 of the 95 have posted any copy edits on the big board. The task may seem insurmountable but please remember that if all 95 participants copy edit just one article a day from now until the end of the month, we will eliminate 1,300 more articles from the backlog. So please consider participating at whatever level you can! All contributions are appreciated. This newsletter was prepared for the GOCE by Diannaa (Talk), S Masters (talk), and The Raptor Let's talk.

GOCE Backlog Elimination Drive Wrap-up

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. Thanks to all who participated in the drive! Over 100 editors—including Jimbo Wales—signed up this time (nearly triple the participants of the May drive). This benefited the Guild as well as the articles in need of copy editing. You can see from the comparison graphs that we increased the number of completed copyedits substantially. Unfortunately, we were not able to meet our goal of completely wiping out 2008 from the queue. We also were not able to reduce the backlog to less than 6,000 articles. We suspect people were busy with real life summertime things, at least in the northern hemisphere! We were able to remove the months of January, February, March, April, and May from the backlog, and we almost wiped out the month of June. We reduced the backlog by 1,289 articles (17%), so all in all it was a very successful drive, and we will be holding another event soon. We'll come up with some new ideas to try to keep things fresh and interesting. Keep up the good work, everybody! Stats If you copy edited at least 4,000 words, you qualify for a barnstar. If you edited in the May 2010 GOCE Backlog Elimination Drive, your word totals are cumulative for barnstars (not the leaderboard). Over the course of the next week or two, we will be handing out the barnstars.

Those edits

OH yes, I did immediately ask at the Infobox character talk page and a friend whether my reversion was justified. At the moment we're trying to track templates using multiple unlabelled fields and keep them to a bare minimum of quick essentials for understanding the character. I was debating whether "family" counted, or significant others, in the same way Buffy's powers might. My feeling is that it might matter for Dawn, but does it deserve infobox-level weight on Buffy's page? Riley? Joyce? That Joyce is Buffy's mother -- her entire function on the show -- should be something attended to in the lead, and which comes over in every section of prose in the article. I am not sure. I don't mean to be draconian. Apologies if this comes over a little stream-of-consciousness: I'm currently whisky-in-hand.~Zythe^{Talk to me!} 19:03, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

I think we're on the same page. Bear with the following example. For me, I read the Laurie Strode article and I think to myself that the only key information re: family is who her brother is, killer Michael Myers. On evaluation, many of the Halloween movies lynch on the fact that the main character is Laurie's daughter, so perhaps she should have mention. And in the Halloween H20 retcon, her son is played by a notable actor and is important if only as a retcon of the previous daughter character. Instead, I go there, and every so often I find an editor has added the sister, Unnamed Father, Unnamed mother (original), Mother's name (remakes), etc. etc. and it's all unnecessary. Or on Donna Noble, under species, there was listed this long and confusing narrative explaining she started human and became a "Human/Time Lord Metacrisis", whatever that means, so it was easiest just to remove the field altogether. If it's not clear-cut, it's a matter for the prose of the article, I feel. So my take is, and I think this is the consensus on Template talk:Infobox character, is that scarce, important facts go in the infobox (especially the kind that would requite awkward wording to squeeze into a summary style plot) and for everything else, the maxim should be less is more. What are your thoughts? Maybe as Wikipedians we should go towards writing a WP:essay on the matter.~Zythe^{Talk to me!} 19:15, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Big Buffy fan, don't worry. Well, the husband isn't important -- he's less than a ghost in the series. We can infer from her having daughters and there being no mention of immaculate conception that there is a father. Buffy and Dawn are her daughters, and that is her tether within the universe of the show to notability, so I think for a character like Joyce who has no powers, credo or greater role maybe it's okay. After all, her role is MOTHER and A NICE LADY in the series; that her role is defined as such should be found, made part of the article's Lead section, and discussed further in a Development section. I also think it might be crucial information for Dawn that she's Buffy's sister, but then again, that invites us to add Hank, Joyce, her wishy-washy Key status, all that jazz, into the infobox: instead, "was introduced in the season five premiere as Buffy's never heretofore seen sister" might cover that nicely in the Lead. The surname, a big part of the infobox, and a picture of the actress (Yes! Pictures have a deductive purpose, woo!) should clue us in that she's a relation of Buffy's; it's not too much to ask the reader's eye to wander to the prose.~Zythe^{Talk to me!} 19:31, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Tell you what. I'll give heads up tomorrow a that talk page, maybe those experienced editors will want to give their own heads up on the matter. Someone draft it. Someone rewrite it. Someone rewrite it. Then put it up. Because it's gonna take ages anyway there's no urgency, just yet.~Zythe^{Talk to me!} 20:11, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi cymru.lass; I see you tagged Siliguri Institute Of Technology for speedy per A7. However, that's a school and schools are not eligible under A7.

That said, you're doing a jolly god job at tagging new pages for speedy and that was your only error, as far as I could see! Salvio ^{Let's talk 'bout it!} 16:24, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Well, that's good. I keep feeling like I'm making some major screw-up whenever I tag something... Then again, it's probably just me! --- cymru lass ^{(hit me up)}⁄_{(background check)} 17:07, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion contested: Clarence Bass

Hello Cymru.lass, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Clarence Bass, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Netalarm^talk 19:46, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

All right, thanks for letting me know! --- cymru lass ^{(hit me up)}⁄_{(background check)} 19:48, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Just a note, you can try WP:PROD or WP:AFD to delete that article if you believe it meets the criteria. I've done a quick review of it, and it appears that most of the references are weak primary sources or promotional/spammy in nature. Netalarm^talk 05:00, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

I won't right now because it has an {{underconstruction}} banner on it, but if, in a few days, it still hasn't improved its sources, etc. I will use prod or AfD. --- cymru lass ^{(hit me up)}⁄_{(background check)} 15:33, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

from David A. Gross, movie review intelligence

Hi Cymru, thanks for your note on my talk page. I appreciate the heads up about all the great things on Wikipdia, including all the ways to help. As you can probably imagine, at the moment I'm a little disappointed that my request to have a link on the page for Movie Review Intelligence was denied, due to conflict of interest. I'm not sure I understand the rationale, since there's no way to abuse such a link -- it's simply there for readers' edification, should they want to use it -- but I respect it. Anyway, Wikipedia seems like a great place and it's wonderful that many great people such as yourself are enthusiastic about helping. Thanks again for your note.
