OMG! I've always wanted a boi butt - you're sooooo lucky! -- Banjeboi 08:00, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Promiscuity

We should jointly decide whether or not MSM statistics belong in the promiscuity article. If you prefer they not be there, I can see how their inclusion isn't needed and can be construed as POV. However, I believe that either all of the original, well-sourced, current statistics should remain or all statistics about MSM should be deleted. Thoughts?  EJNOGARB  16:47, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Stats dealing directly with promiscuity certainly do belong. The additional cruft, such as adding the continuance of the blood donor ban for gay people, doesn't. That was purely POV and pointy. I'd also challenge anyone to use modern studies from notable sources, if studies must be used at all. Not studies from the 1970s that are most certainly irrelevant to today's society, gay or straight. I'm one of the first to take the bad with the bad, and the good with the good. Hence why I didn't revert this edit of yours. But obviously I don't agree with whitewashing content to balance an article or a section of an article to one side of the conservative or liberal agenda. - ✰ALLST☆R✰ 18:11, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Layout

I like the rainbow of colored boxes. The page is clear and easy to read. The only thing is that (at least on the display I'm looking at here), the main text boxes don't begin until below your sidebar. That looks a little weird, but is a minor point. I think it's much easier to read your page with this layout than the one you had before. LadyofShalott 01:34, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

That's what I was trying to avoid, the issue with the text boxes beginning after the sidebar. On My display, it doesn't do that. They show up evenly on the page, side by side. Uhg. Thanks for the input. - ✰ALLST☆R✰ 01:54, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

What size monitor are you using and what is the resolution set at? - ✰ALLST☆R✰ 06:29, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

I'll have to check later on when I'm back at home. For now, I'm looking at it on a different machine, and the sidebar just overlaps a little with the other boxes. LadyofShalott 13:50, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

That really sucks ...

Sorry about the blockage, hopefully more fiber in the diet will help. If you need anything poked or prodded I'll be happy to check it out and I look forward to your impending return! -- Banjeboi 08:02, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

New layout

p.s. I love that it doesn't go waaaay off to the side anymore. -- Banjeboi 08:03, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

But are you having the same issues with it as LadyofShalott - where the different color boxes don't start until the bottom of the right-hand side infobox? - ✰ALLST☆R✰ 08:11, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Not that I can see, it looks fine. -- Banjeboi 18:18, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Looks perfectly fine to me. Browsers = Safari, Camino, Firefox, iCab; system = Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.3.9; hardware = iMac G5 and iMac G3. ~_{Teledildonix314}~~_4-1-1~ 19:20, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. It's probably got something to do with monitor size and resolution setting. I use a widescreen monitor set at 1680 x 1050 resolution. Smaller resolutions, such as 1024 x 768 may have an issue with the layout. - ✰ALLST☆R✰ 19:29, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to ARS!

Hi, Allstarecho, welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron! We are a growing community of Misplaced Pages editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles that have been tagged for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated! Some points that may be helpful: Our main aim is to help improve articles, so if someone seeks help, please try to assist if you are able. Likewise feel free to ask for help, advice and clarification. Many times we are asked to help rescue articles by people new to our notability and sourcing policies. If the article is not fixable we can help explain why and offer alternatives. Many of these editors are also new to Misplaced Pages so may see deleting "their" article as "bitey". Encourage civility and maybe even {{welcome}} them if they have only been templated with deletion messages. The Articles for deletion (AfD) discussion is where the concerns regarding each article are brought up and addressed. To be an effective member of the project you need to know how AfD works as well as how to improve articles. Introduction to deletion process gives a good overview and some good advice for newcomers to deletion. Template:ARS/Tagged Our primary work is improving articles tagged for rescue. On this template you can see a drop-down list of current articles tagged. You can install it on your own page by putting {{ARS/Tagged}}. A more dynamic list with article links and description is on our current articles page. It is highly recommended you watchlist it. If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to the list of translators available. Articles and sources that use non-English languages often need translation for those of us who cannot translate for ourselves. Many important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is recommended that you watchlist it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you. And once again - Welcome! -- Banjeboi 08:07, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Hate crime

Perhaps I'm just slow, but I do not see how a list of executions supports the statement "...it is well known throughout the international community that Iran has and continues to have state-sponsored torture and executions of homosexuals...". Kevin (talk) 08:24, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Look at the bottom of the list. You can choose to sort the results by "crime" including "Homosexual act" and "Homosexual rape". - ✰ALLST☆R✰ 08:27, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes I see that. And "well known in the international community" is not remotely supported is it? Your other 2 refs seem equally problematic, one is Wikinews, not a reliable source, and the other is a blog. Kevin (talk) 08:38, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

WikiNews is a reliable source. And the "blog" is a Sky News reporter, not some kid in the middle of a cornfield blogging about baseball cards. - ✰ALLST☆R✰ 17:30, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Not one of those sources supports "well known in the international community". The section reads like a synthesis of the source material that draws it's own conclusions, rather than reporting those of others. The whole section describes what I would call human rights abuses that should be detailed at Human rights in Iran. It is tangential to the Hate crime article at best. Kevin (talk) 21:23, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Huh?

Please explain your warning. I just added a photo that was discussed on the talk page. All of my edits have been consistent with policy and I haven't engaged in 3RR or edit warring and have discussed the reasons for my appropriate edits on the talk page. Given the personal attacks, talk page violations, and aggresive behavior I am facing your warning is very inappropriate. I hope you will correct yourself. Thanks. ChildofMidnight (talk) 22:36, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

I just noticed that your talk page is in numerous categories of gay Wikipedians. Notation that he is a prominent advocate and legislator for gay rights has been one of the edits that is being reverted and censored from the Barney Frank article. I don't want you to be accused of COI, but clearly this censorship whatever the motivation is inappropriate and disturbing on various levels. I would welcome your assistance in supervising that article and making sure that guidelines and policies are followed. Thank you. ChildofMidnight (talk) 22:39, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

The merits, or lack of them, regarding the content itself isn't of any concern. That should be dealt with via the article's talk page and consensus. The warning, however, was for edit warring, which you are clearly engaged in on that article. I'm not even going to waste my time linking the diffs of your reversions. You're one more reversion away from WP:3RR and WP:AN3 is where I will focus my diff linking efforts if you continue. - ✰ALLST☆R✰ 22:43, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Well, I am concerned with the content of articles. I think it should conform to consensus guidelines. I'm also concerned with bogus warnings. Your warning suggests I have been edit warring, and it's wrong. Please don't put false statements on my talk page. Anyone who adds something and reverts it once is one edit away from 3RR. It's troubling that you've engaged in a dispute in this way. I hope you'll consider your actions more carefully in the future. Thanks. ChildofMidnight (talk) 23:22, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Let me put this another way.. I didn't warn you about the content you are removing and the content you are inserting. I warned you for edit warring. The content itself and whether or not the content itself is acceptable, has nothing to do with the warning for edit warring. And yet again, in another way, I have no opinion on the content itself - just an opinion that your multiple reversions and tendentious editing are nearing breach of WP:3RR. Understand now? - ✰ALLST☆R✰ 02:47, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
