If you leave me a message on this page, I will reply on this page.
I don't archive this page, I just blank it whenever the fancy takes me. All you need to know is contained in the page history. :)
I have replied to your post on my talk page. Thanks again Unomi (talk) 12:16, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Xdenizen, I don't know who you are or if we've ever encountered each other before. That said, I am very troubled by your incivility and personal attacks on me here. Please consider expunging them next time you log in. Thank you. -- əʌləʍʇ əuo-ʎʇuəʍʇ ssnɔsıp 06:41, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The Miss Julie Memorial LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter:
Special Pride 2009 Booty call edition

Yo, happy Pride y'all - are you ready for your close-up?
|
- 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 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, 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, #wikipedia-en-lgbt connect, 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 #LGBTproject connect 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.

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, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month, 2009, The White House (June 1, 2009).

Can you please help? (OMGILOVEPEAS (talk) 03:46, 7 August 2009 (UTC))[reply]
Hi Xdenizen,
I just visited the home page on the way to looking something up and the orange flash appeared across the page top: "You have new messages".
I clicked it out of curiosity and got User talk:88.108.230.219 and your message was "Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Sophia Bush." It was dated 3 March 2008.
I dare say you will be much more aware, 3 years later, of this point; but I am leaving this brief note just to underline how pointless it is to leave notes to un-logged-in IP addresses. The way the internet infrastructure has worked for almost a decade, with IP 4 addresses rapidly running out as usage has grown, there may be thousands of ISP subscribers using a given IP address temporarily on one particular day each --- allocated dynamically when they log on to their particular ISP.
The fact that this note to "88.108.230.219" has sat for nearly three years and nobody has been to look at it before (otherwise it wouldn't flash that it was a new message) shows that whoever committed the sin you refer to probably never got that IP address again and never had any chance at all of seeing the message.
As it happens, there is something to celebrate today, which is another reason why it's worth me bothering to write this today: The Daily mail online has a news story datelined 8:25 AM on 3rd February 2011 which has the headline The Internet will run out of numerical addresses 'in the next 24 hours' where it explains that it is all right as long as the change to the new IPv6 IP addresses goes ahead smoothly. But it probably won't, as the story attempts to explain (but there are better places to find out about that than the daily Mail)...
Anyway, have a good year. And may all our IPv6 addresses be happy ones. But the chances of any Wikipedia note to a non-logged-in IPv4 address user ever being seen by the person you intended it for are, from today (I guess), about 4 billion times smaller than they were yesterday (when they were already only one in several billion)!

WP:AURD (Australian Roads), is inviting comment on a proposal to convert Australian road articles to {{infobox road}}. Please come and discuss. The vote will be after concerns have been looked into.
