Dear "Pigman": I don't know you and I chose you randomly. We need mediation at . I just want to soft a sentence on the article which is supported by fake references, the position is clear but there are 2 or 3 editors whom oppose to the change for the sake of opposing, no arguments but they turn around the bush over and over again along a month. Please help the editors to get a consensus.--] (]) 04:04, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Ref. my recent article that was 'speedily deleted' on account of a 'copyright violation'. The article is biographical in nature on an eminent personality and the copyright violation was flagged due to content I'd borrowed from the person in question's website, for which I have obtained prior explicit permission. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 17:23, 23 March 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== About Editing External Links ==

Dear Pigman,

I am a bit confused. I added a link to my article "Brigit: Mother of Smiths" to the page related to Brighid. This article is well researched and contains useful information re the Mother of Smiths aspect of this goddess. I do not find a great deal of difference among my link and the links to the excellent articles at Mary Jones (http://www.maryjones.us/jce/brigit.html) and Francine Nicolson's pages (http://www.applewarrior.com/celticwell/ejournal/imbolc/brighid.htm).

I honestly felt I was adding a link a that researchers might find useful. I also felt the other links I had added would prove useful to people looking for information on the subjects in question.

Is it the rule that I may only add links to pages I did not write myself? I write a lot and have an extensive website with all kinds of information on Celtic Shamanism, folklore and traditions. My 'zine has been in publication for thirteen years and the SCS is the original non-profit Celtic Shamans on-line community. We have been around since 1997.

I would appreciate a further explanation of the rules so I do not offend in the future. Thank you for your kind attention.

One hundred thousand blessings to you and all our relations,
Tira Brandon-Evans

Conflict of Interest Disclosure

Due to some questions about conflict of interest issues with a document I helped author and publish, it seems appropriate that I disclose my connection and role vis-à-vis The CR FAQ. This information includes both the web document as well as the printed/dead tree version. I am one of the co-owners of the domain paganachd.com. The domain hosts The CR FAQ and related articles. This is not a commercial or even non-profit enterprise. There are no ads on the web site but there is a link to buy the printed version of the CR FAQ. All profits from sales the printed version are donated to An Comunn Gàidhealach Ameireaganach for Gaelic language preservation. The sole purpose of the web domain is to provide access to the collaboratively created document known as The CR FAQ and directly related articles. I believe The CR FAQ is a salient secondary source document. I am also co-editor and co-publisher of the the print version of the document, titled The CR FAQ - An Introduction to Celtic Reconstructionist Paganism. I mistakenly used the web site as a source in the Celtic Reconstructionist Paganism article before being clear on the COI problems of my actions. If you have any questions regarding my relationship to the domain and document, please ask me here. (Note: I'm deliberately not using external links to the site or book to avoid using Misplaced Pages to drive traffic to them.)

WikiProject LGBT studies Newsletter (June 2009)

The Miss Julie Memorial LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter:

Special Pride 2009 Booty call edition

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter!
Issue XVIII: June 24, 2009

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. 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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages: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?

Misplaced Pages: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

Misplaced Pages: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 , 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 Misplaced Pages-related channels, see Misplaced Pages:IRC channels.

The project had at one point another channel at #LGBTproject 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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages (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. 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). 		”
