AfD nomination of Celebrate Bisexuality Day An editor has nominated Celebrate Bisexuality Day, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Celebrate Bisexuality Day and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 07:59, 21 March 2008 (UTC) AIMHey, do you ever get on aim anymore? I always wanna ask your advice on wiki bisexual things! Andral (talk) 20:09, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
No content in Category:Bisexual books Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Bisexual books, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Bisexual books has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1). Sex Work Task Force is Up and RunningAnd you are working on more content right now that most of its members! I would love for you to be part of the group and make some input in our discussions and how to go about writing the content for important and basic articles like sex worker, sex worker rights, sex industry, and sex tourism.

The archive will still be available but didn't want to respond there and then have it lost when I did the merge. I assure you I wasn't vandalizing when I first merged it but rather was doing the same that JLM is in cleaning up the museum articles in NYC. No matter what the museum's focus, they're a mess and merging helps clean it up, but I apologize if you didn't like my edit summary.

The LGBT section of that article has now been split into LGBT culture, and I'm trying to do some cleanup. Could you narrow the list to a handful that are notable in bi culture? (Or if they're all extremely notable, could you organise them?) Thanks, --Alynna (talk) 02:58, 10 May 2008 (UTC) NYC Meetup: June 1, 2008

Re: thanks.No problem, all should be clearer if you read this Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Ebfilms. --triwbe (talk) 22:19, 26 July 2008 (UTC) All the evidence is in the edits. You have to make of it what you will starting with the deletion through to the latest actions. --triwbe (talk) 22:31, 26 July 2008 (UTC) Full story, as I and most others involved see it. A user Ebfilms (talk · contribs) had created (multiple times) the artice E.B. Hughes which was declared autobiographical and conflict of interest and was not so much deleted but nuked Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/E.B. Hughes (2nd nomination). In his talk page Ebfilms, may be E.B. Hughes himself made references to other film producers who he claimed were less notable than him, i.e. Kyle Schickner. After deletion Ebfiles continued his attacks on his talk page (the only place he could edit as a blocked user) and he was eventually fully blocked for continuous abuse see here. Shortly after this user created a number of sockpuppets to evade the block and started vandalising Kyle Schickner and asking for it be deleted. he finally managed to make an AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kyle Schickner which was thrown out in less than a day with a consensus to keep the article and block the nominator and all his other user names. All the sockpuppets have now been identified formally and blocked. I hope he realises that if anyone touches the Kyle Schickner without supported refs it will be revereted very quickly. --triwbe (talk) 13:11, 27 July 2008 (UTC) Melissa Farley RfCPassing this along, FYI.

New UK Group, advice?Hi there, I see you've done a lot of work on the bisexual articles, this is great! I think wikipedia should have a link somewhere to the new UK activist group "The Bisexual Index" (www.bisexualindex.org.uk) but I don't see a page for bisexual organisations per se. Can you advise if you think this is a good idea, and if it is where it should go? I don't think we're notable enough for an article yet.

Speedy deletion nomination of Campus Pride A tag has been placed on Campus Pride requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard. If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding Re: Campus PrideWell the only thing you added to the article after I placed the notability tag, was a "see also" section. Notability is a core requirement and should be evident in the first two sentences. Anyhow, its not that I don't appreciate your efforts, but not all topics warrant an individual article. -Reconsider! 02:46, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Ronhjones (Talk) 00:11, 4 April 2011 (UTC) License tagging for File:Aiblogofinal.gifThanks for uploading File:Aiblogofinal.gif. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 23:05, 9 April 2011 (UTC) I have reverted your edit. You seem to have missed the point that is given in the template on the image page. Any permission given needs to be able to be verified. So that means either a link to the image's web page, which has a CC-BY-2.0 license OR or an email from the copyright owner is sent or forwarded to permissions-en@wikimedia.org to allow an OTRS ticket to be applied. A fuller explanation can also be found at WP:DCM. I have reset the date to allow you a full period to obtain permission. Just stating "permission given", although maybe tolerated in the past, is not now possible - for about the last year we have the pseudo-speedy templates, which give the uploader a fixed time to correct the problems. If you planning to go down the OTRS route, then you may add a {{OTRS pending}} template to the File page.

My name is Victor and I work with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. We're chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade new people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who use Wikipedia have so much to share. I find stories that drive our annual fundraising efforts. It's important to convey the incredible diversity of people who've come to rely upon Wikipedia every day. I see that you have an interest in human sexuality. That is an immensely important topic to be contributing to! I'd really like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia. I'm hoping you will elaborate on your story with me, either over the phone, by Skype, by Facebook, by email, or any means you like. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project and we'll set up a good time to discuss further. Thank you, Victor Grigas vgrigas@wikimedia.org Victor Grigas (talk) 23:52, 6 February 2012 (UTC) Discussion{{WPJournals|class=List}} {{LGBTProject|class=List}} {{WikiProject Sexuality|class=List}} discussion of journal contents articleThe following discussion took place at the talk p. for List of volumes and issues of Journal of Bisexuality. As the article is now deleted, I copied the discussion here, because I think it is of some general interest. CynntWorkStuff, if you'd rather I moved it elsewhere, let me know and I will do so. == Contested deletion ==
We have sometimes permitted lists of contents in exceptional cases where the material is not readily available, especially for journals in the humanities in the pre-electronic era, and especially when they are more in the nature of lists of special issues issues than lists of article titles, though this usually requires a discussion in each instance. We have often accepted lists of especially notable articles, included within an article for a journal, but expect evidence of that, The provision of a list of this sort so that "people who search for content" on a general topic will find articles in this particular journal is promotionalism. Even if we did this for all journals equally, Wikipedia is not a subject index, but an encyclopedia. it is not intended to provide access to all published work on a topic, but rather to present basic information and selected highly appropriate references to substantiate the information and as a start to going further. I note promotionalism is possible even when a person is merely interested in a subject, not a part of an organization or affiliate. Obviously, the rules aren't as rigid, because all of us write usually on topics in which we are interested. But we all have to do it in a way that does not promote those things we think highly of, just add encyclopedic content about them."

Torie OsbornHi there, I just read the message you left on my talk page regarding vandalism reverts in the Torie Osborn article. To be honest, if you want to know why that editor reverted your edits as vandalism, you would be better off asking that editor than asking me since I'm not the one who reverted your edits. I took a look at the article anyways to see the edits you were talking about, this one [1] looks like you had some manual of style errors in your citations, which easily could have been fixed like I did to a previous edit you made, so that one is not even close to being vandalism. The other edit [2] removed the tags at the top, stating in edit summary "issues addressed so tags removed" when there were more problems with the article than just needing sources, so I would guess that's why that edit was reverted. Still, that edit was made in good faith since you thought you had addressed the issues, so I wouldn't call that vandalism either. It's posible the editor may have just used the wrong summary when reverting, or was frustrated by the fact that the tags in that article were removed multiple times in the last couple of days without all the issues being resolved. Regardless, like I said above, ask that editor, I can only guess a reason, he can tell you exactly why it was done. While looking for these two edits, I did notice that editor has gone through the article and appears to have resolved some of the problems surrounding the tags, but there are still more issues to be dealt with.

The event will cap off Wikipedia Asian Month, an online campaign dedicated to augmenting Asian content on Wikipedia throughout November. New and experienced editors are welcome. The event will include a training session for participants who are new to Wikipedia, and Wikipedia specialists will be on hand to provide basic instruction and editing support. Editors are invited to view the exhibition Tales of Our Time following the event. The Guggenheim aims to raise awareness of the artists featured in the Tales of Our Time exhibition supported by The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Chinese Art Initiative, and build on the model of campaigns like the Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at the Guggenheim: Women in Architecture, Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at the Guggenheim: Contemporary Art of the Middle East and North Africa, and Art+Feminism.

A cup of coffee for you!

Hello. I am presenting a Wikipedia workshop for World AIDS Day at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center on Thursday November 30 2017 noon-2. Since you created this article back in 2006 I thought that I would personally invite you. Many of the local Wiki meetups are evenings or weekends because people are working, but this particular event will have LGBT+ organizational outreach as a goal.
I appreciate what you have done for wiki. When you start an article it stays there, and people build on it, and now because of what you started I found the chance to present an event. Thanks for taking action. Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:20, 15 November 2017 (UTC) |
