Gay Blue Jeans Day

Gay Blue Jeans Day has been nominated for AfD It seems important for editors participating in this project to have a voice in that discussion Anniepoo (talk) 21:02, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I weighed in, tweaking the search results pops plenty of sources. If the nonsense blows in I'll work on listing possible sources as well. -- Banjeboi 22:55, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP 1.0 bot announcement

This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl (CBM · talk) 03:30, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

new Homofascism article

(Is there a better place to discuss editing issues & problematic articles?)

There was a previously-deleted WP:Articles_for_deletion/Homofascism article, and now there's a new Homofascism article - the text itself seems non-notable, referring to a term created by Scott Lively and having no reliable primary news sources referencing the term, so it too seems like a candidate for deletion.

Meanwhile, I removed a link to it from Protests against Proposition 8 supporters on POV grounds.

Ugh, kill it. Hardly a notable term. Zazaban (talk) 19:23, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Homosexuality again...

It's a core article. It should be better. Help. Talk:Homosexuality#Rewrite_agenda_2 Phoenix of9 21:25, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced Biographies

If anyone is bored and looking for things to do to help out the project, Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Cleanup listing#BLP articles lacking sources lists articles that are biographies of living people and need references. They are tagged either as being completely unreferenced, or requiring extra references. BLPs are a hot topic at the moment and biographies without any references at all are in danger of being deleted. Obviously, we don't want to lose valuable biographies, many of which can be easily referenced to reliable sources in a few minutes.

A more up to date selection of articles that are totally unreferenced can be found by doing specific google searches eg. "does not cite" contentious "lgbt people" site:en.wikipedia.org - where "lgbt people" targets likely categories being used. --Beloved Freak 22:02, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sexuality of Robert Baden-Powell

People interested in the thoughtful treatment of historical subjects should pay close attention to what is being done to this article. Haiduc (talk) 11:58, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
