Why do you only have one of the male and not the female body? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.192.252.204 (talk) 01:04, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Because no woman would answer my Craigslist ad. --David Shankbone 01:26, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Caption help

Hey David, Could you please take a whack at rewriting the caption on your photo at Cross-dressing#The_problem_of_attributing_motives_for_cross-dressing? The current caption seems to imply that the rather oddly dressed cross--dresser came into an unfortunate state because of his cross-dressing when, in fact, we probably can't infer that. Benjiboi 11:43, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

I think it's perfectly written. I don't read what you read at all, and in fact, I think it makes it clear that motives are difficult to ascertain--the person could be a street performer, or whatever. I don't think it needs to be re-written. --David Shankbone 14:00, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Dead Sea

Hi. I removed the wp:Israel box because it is actually already there under the collapsed set of wikiprojects entitled: This article is within the scope of multiple WikiProjects. --Flymeoutofhere (talk) 20:58, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Leaving my job

Heaven help me if I'm working for Condi Rice! "Nick" is a pseudonym. BTW, if you want to see a bit of my writing under my real name, you can check out my contributions to www.marlenadelacroix. com - the current story is mine. NickBurns (talk) 04:21, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

LGBT WikiProject Newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter! Issue XII - December 1, 2007 Ms Julie is .. unavailable .. this month, so Isaac and Gopher have stepped in to put this newsletter thing together. We may not be as funny as you're used to, but if you'd like a free drink, come see me at the bar. That might help. Maybe. And no, there aren't any flashing lights or fancy pictures this month - I'm still recovering from a whopping hangover. Julie's recovering too, but that's a story I'll let her tell. Two New Featured Articles (and...) Emma Goldman was promoted to Featured status on 2007 December 27. If you don't know Ms. Goldman, she was a Lithuanian anarchist. Aren't many of those around, really, so having one of our very own is special. She'll be dancing the Cha-Cha on the Promenade deck later tonight. Ann Bannon was promoted to Featured status on 2007 December 3. Faithful readers may remember Moni moaning that we didn't mention this promotion in the last newsletter. Happy now? Ludwig Wittgenstein seems to have been dropped from the vaunted roles - he was downgraded to "B class" on 29 December 2007. What a way to end the year! Let's see - we started December with 35 FAs. We added two and dropped one. So somewhere there's a missing FA - has anyone seen one lying around? Jumpaclass Contest winner The winner of 2007's Jumpaclass competition is Fluffball70 (talk · contribs)! Congratulations, Fluffball! Despite strongly being urged to select Love Boat as the next WikiProject Collaboration, she has chosen LGBT Symbols as her prize: please contribute to its improvement - or enter the competition for this year! Ze Portal The marathon efforts of Dev920 against her astonishing abilities of procrastination continued this month, and she managed to update the Portal's main articles. Whether she will finally beat her procrastination pixies in submission and update the biographies remains to be seen, but Jeffpw has leapt to the rescue and taken it upon himself to do all our lovely news. Friends, lend us your goodwill and your eyeballs, and mosey on over to see all Jeff's hard work. Also, back in October 2007, Allstarecho and Benjiboi worked diligently on the "WP:LGBT Random Quote" and "WP:LGBT Random Picture" sections of the portal. They added many new quotes and pictures but, and yes here's the cat's meow friends... you can now use these on your own user pages! To add the "WP:LGBT Random Quote" to your own userpage, use: {{Portal:LGBT/Quotes}} And to add the "WP:LGBT Random Picture" to your own userpage, use: {{Portal:LGBT/Pics}} If you'd like to see it in action, check out Allstarecho's userpage for both in action and Benjiboi's talk page for the Quotes in action! The long, slow race toward FP status continues... Bisexual Awareness Month Folks in Utah are celebrating Bisexual Awareness Month. For our own wikicelebration, Alison suggests we try to bring Bisexuality at least up to good article status. Working on the Utah article would be encouraged, but do it stealthily - they don't like us to be *too* open. A cunning plan In a move sure to bring her fame and fortune at last, Dev920 (talk · contribs) has proposed that an FA buddying system be set up, to help nudge frightened tikes who also happen to write killer ass articles over that initial first FAC hurdle. Anyone interested in shepherding duties, or anyone interested in being made to lie beside still waters (handcuffs are optional), do drop Dev an RSVP so she can start battering those darned pixies... New members Let's give a big Love Boat welcome to all our new members: Mike1981, RAShippy, CoppBob, Altairisfar, Dureo, LessThanClippers William P. Coleman, Grrrlriot, Queer Scout, Kentucky1333, Melty girl, Phenominus, Avazina, Dfeuer, and Lycanthropiclion. We're glad to have you all aboard! New task-force? Zigzig20s has mentioned a desire to work on .. desire. Specifically literature by and about LGBT desire. To facilitate "LGBT Literature" taskforce, there will be shuffleboard and lesbian fiction on the foredeck later in the afternoon. Signup if you're interested. To stop receiving this newsletter, or to receive it in a different format, please let us know here. If you have any news or any announcements to be broadcast, do let Your Cruise Director know.

Arthur B. Kramer

has died. I know you've been working on brother Larry, so it occurred to me you may want to write a stub for Arthur. I'll pitch in. -- Y not be working? 20:12, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I always felt I should have asked Larry to set up a photo shoot with Arthur. I'll work on a stub, but I have to get my Billy West interview posted first. --David Shankbone 20:18, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

NYC Subway

Hey, how is my picture poor, your picture has been up for a while now, and if you want, maybe you can take another picture of 36st, by the way, I go to school in Brooklyn and go home on the D train to Manhattan, so i will take another pic, K. NimiTiz_e 01:41, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

First, it looks like you took it with a camera phone. It's colors are cold, and the light bleeds into the photo. Second, my photo shows life in the subway station, yours does not. Mine is a 2.13 MB colored photo, yours is a camera-phone shot that is 33KB in size. That's nothing. This isn't about "who gets to have their photo up" this is about the best shot on the page as possible. Hence, when my Sean Combs photo was trumped (arguably not) I did not revert to have mine in the lead. Your photo of this subway station, however, is clearly of far poorer quality. The media that wins out on this site is 1. high quality; and 2. something other people (say, a news outlet) can use. Your photo is neither based upon quality and size. --David Shankbone 01:49, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Fine, I will revert my own edit, and let you off with a warning, but I am going to take a new picture, and it will be better, if you say about my color is not good enough, but my camera is a 2.00 MB colored photo, so dont talk about color. Cool, NimiTiz_e 02:39, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Great! If you take a better picture - more power to you dude! I illustrate over 3,000 articles on here - this one means nothing to me. It's the principle that a crappy 33KB camera phone shot doesn't trump the high-res quality one I put up. Once you take a photo that does - the page is all yours - trust me. You can have it man. As long as you improve it. --David Shankbone 02:52, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Upside-down glass mousetrap

Dude, it works and I used it. Lots of things are "Kind of ridiculous".

Augusten Burroughs

David I reverting your removal of the audio link. It doesn't look like spam to me, it appears to be an interview with the writer himself. I checked the talk page and you didn't leave any comments to clarify your reasoning. Thanks. Have a great day. Wjhonson (talk) 00:55, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

If you look at who added it, they added interviews for every person they ever spoke with. I don't particularly care, but I did a wholesale revert. I personally feel that if we are going to link to interviews, they should either 1. be notable; 2. be particularly illuminating; or 3. conducted with Wikinews. The third is self-serving, but Wikinews interviews are conducted with our own interests (the person's Misplaced Pages page) in mind. I won't revert you and I don't have any particular animus with this interview, but when I see someone adding links wholesale to Misplaced Pages, I usually do a wholesale revert. --David Shankbone 00:58, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't think we can assume that the person adding the links has any conflict-of-interest as being related to the website. It's possible that, even though unrelated to the site, they just think the links might be useful. Personally I think an hour-long interview with Burroughs is very useful. If you find out that the person is actually associated with the website in some way and is trying to advertise it that would be a different story. We don't have any policy that would cover someone not associated with an interview site adding the links. Thanks David! Wjhonson (talk) 08:51, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Then the question comes to: Burroughs has probably done about 50-100 interviews of varying lengths. Which ones do we use? WP:Linkspam is a guideline that is applicable here, and it's quite common that when an WP:SPA is doing nothing but adding the work of one site to every page possible, they get reverted. --David Shankbone 15:48, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I didn't realize how complicated adding information to this site is. I really just came across these interviews and thought they would be great for the site. They are notable, illuminating and very flattering to the authors wikipedia page. I'll get used to things and slowly contribute where I see a nice fit. David, if you get the chance you should listen to some of the interviews. They're good for any writer/artist to hear.Corkyshag (talk) 18:26, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

New user...questions

Hi David,

I tried to add some valuable links to Misplaced Pages today. I'm just trying to get the hang of the website. The links I had posted up are 1 hr interviews with best selling authors. Victoria Lautman has a series that she hosts at the LookingGlass Theatre in Chicago called Writers on the Record. I think these link are invalualbe to the site and to people looking for more information on the authors. Let me know what I need to do to get them posted. I am not a spammer. thank you for your help.

Hey David, tell us...

Are you taking it up the ass from Michael Lucas? Is that why you made those contentious edits everybody's talking about? Oh honey, say it isn't so!
