Amazing Grace for TFA?

Hi Moni, I was wondering if you would mind if Amazing Grace ran as Today's Featured Article. It is fantastically written and on a very important subject, so I think it would be good to give it wider exposure. Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:04, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lovely. Well, it's already at TFA, so kinda late asking. Enjoy that "wider exposure" on a topic that everyone and their brother thinks they know The Sum of All Human Knowledge! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:22, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No, I don't really want to deal with Amazing Grace on the main page. After the Bible, this song is probably the most widely used proselytizing tool for Christianity, so it doesn't need any more exposure. With possibly tens of thousands of readers on an article that nearly everyone in the English speaking world has some exposure to, every third reader is going to be tweaking and fixing the article, removing that thing they don't think is important, adding an uncited tidbit here, an unnotable version of the song there. I don't have the time to watch it while the article is on the main page. This means days of arguments that I really don't want to have. I really wish you hadn't done this. --Moni3 (talk) 13:06, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Interview with Wikimedia Foundation

Hi Moni, I hope this finds you well. My name is Matthew and I work with the fundraising team at the Wikimedia Foundation. For the 2011 Fundraiser, we're working to diversify the voices of the people who appear in the personal appeals for donations. In 2010, Jimmy carried most of the weight, but he doesn't represent the broad array of Wikipedians who dedicate themselves to make the projects so important. You were also recommended by Figureskatingfan, who said she loved the way you communicate and write. I wonder if you would be inclined to participate? Please let me know by emailing me: mroth@wikimedia.org. Thanks! Matthew (WMF) 16:49, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm wondering what your selection criteria are Matthew. Will all of us "foul-mouthed uncivil louts" be invited to take part? Malleus Fatuorum 23:47, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Moni, yes using the interview for fundraising is a correct reading of the request. Thank you for your consideration and I'll be in touch if something else comes up. Best, Matthew (WMF) 21:39, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
See, you make me laugh every time I read your writing. I would imagine it will be nothing if not an entertaining interview. After the interview, if you believe it was worthless, we can leave it in the dustbin. If you'd like to participate, please email me :) Matthew (WMF) 22:13, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

wqa

Hello, Moni3. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Wikiquette assistance regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Gerardw (talk) 18:18, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No matter what anyone might say, you made me laugh so hard I almost dropped my dinner. Thanks for the overboldness and the kind attention to Dickenson. BusterD (talk) 22:43, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm a foul-mouthed uncivil lout. Begone before you are tainted by my very existence.
Also, taint. --Moni3 (talk) 22:45, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Dearest Moni, I love you so much I fall at your feet. I'm this close to proposing marriage, which is saying much. Of course, I'm such a megalomaniac that I was sure that Matthew's request above had something to do with it, and then I was certain that you were going to be mad at me, and the thought of it horrified me. But then reason took over, and I realized that I was being silly (I hope). Christine (talk) 23:41, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Somebody needs a lift. Sounds like it might be time to start advanced planning for April :-) LeadSongDog come howl! 01:12, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Christine, I appreciate that you think I write well, and I'm interested to know your opinion of how I communicate. Lately, the general opinion is that I appeal to the lowest common denominator. Not that I care much about the general opinion... I'm not angry at you at all. I can't imagine how I might be unless you just went nuts and started slapping templates all over a bunch of articles I wrote then declined to discuss why, in your esteemed opinion, the articles deserved it. At any rate, just thought I should respond to that. --Moni3 (talk) 21:24, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oh dear Lord. Moni, only my opinion of you matters; that guy is a loser. And what general opinion? He's just one person. You have many admirers here, so don't let the erroneous and foolish opinion of one jerk get you down. Common denominator, my big ass. Anyone who writes about the Stonewall Riots and Amazing Grace and Ray Charles and the Everglades should not be described in that way. I suppose it could be said about me, who writes about children's performers. (DYK that Sesame Street is now FA?) Christine (talk) 15:59, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ha! Put me in that "Admirer" group. I can't remember what article it was where I met her (her?), but I remember I liked her wisdom, passion, and spunk. Seeing that s/he watched over the "Amazing Grace" article, I have watched it for some years now myself. IMO, her edits have always been right on target and she has used a lot more civility and patience than I would have been able to manage. (Moni3, I mean every word of that but I am trying to butter you up too. Would you be willing to take a look at an article I am working on and offer your opinion?--thanks) Gandydancer (talk) 16:33, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well well well, so the WQA monkeys have caught up with ya have they? I say drink a Flirtini and tell em to shove it up theirs Moni. — Legolas (talk2me) 17:26, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Zoosexuality

What about this as a sexual orientation? You want to support its inclusion at the Sexual orientation article? Homosexuals and zoosexuals, in the same boat. You can come in and comment on the talk page. 120.203.215.11 (talk) 01:41, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
