'''Monthly Challenge''': Find 5 editors to LGBT articles and invite them to the ]! Check out our ] if you need them. Good luck! | |||
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this ''''''. | |||

* With such rapid development of the project, it was decided that a Coordinator was needed to ensure all the fiddly maintenence was kept up. Elections were held and {{User|Dev920}} has been elected ] for the next three months. She said "I am honoured and proud to be at the helm of such a fantastic WikiProject and look forward to our future". Congratulations Dev! | |||
* The ] system continues to be a great success, we have tagged over 5200 articles! Please tag any LGBT related articles you come across by adding <nowiki>{{LGBTProject | class=}}</nowiki> to the talkpage. Please see the ] Department for how to assess an article according to the grading system. | |||
* ] is proving to be quite successful! The winner at the end of the year gets to pick the January collaboration, so sign up and get going! Or challenge another user to see how far you can jump a stub! | |||
* A new ] has been set up to foster community amongst our members. It mostly acts as other WikiProjects' Outreach department, but also has a ] to which every member is entitled to add a square containing anything of their choice. | |||
* The ] is not getting much custom - please notice you can cross-list other peer reviews from different projects that also fall within our scope. | |||
* Many people still seem to be unaware that the ] subpage exists for XfDs to be listed: please use and watch that page instead of issuing "alerts" for ordinary AfDs on the project talkpage. | |||
* ] has a current drive to give every film article an infobox. ] successfully gave all 105 LGBT infoboxless films infoboxes, so a big thank you to everyone who participated. | |||
* A new template, ], has been created for articles which are becoming to cluttered with infoboxes. Thanks to ] and ] for creating it. | |||
* A very basic ] has been started. Please add to it as you come across useful sites. | |||
* A promotional poster for the project has been created: http://wplgbt.tripod.com/Wikipedianeedsyou.doc (you have to directly cut and paste the url, or it won't let you download it). Please distribute anywhere and everywhere you desire, such as gay libraries, cybercafes, community centres and so on. Also, please let ] know where you have put it up, so she can keep track of our coverage. | |||
* An LGBT Publications Taskforce has been proposed. Please sign up ] if you are interested in being involved. | |||
* An LGBT WikiProject has been set up on the ] Misplaced Pages! Set up by ], it has already gained six members and is developing an assessment system. If you speak any Spanish, please consider going up and lending a hand if you can! | |||

:They you (all) need to come to consensus to re-order the list. Deleting the ] entry without doing so is just going to cause trouble.

* Hi Tim.

She also contributes to the Irish language Misplaced Pages, Meta, Wiktionary, and Commons, and regularly fights vandalism, sock-puppetry, and policy-ignorant users. Her unique knowledge of Irish culture brings a fresh perspective to that section of the Encyclopedia, and conversly she is able to translate that information to and from the Irish 'Pedia. Her qualities surmise a strong character and resilient editor, and she always greets a stubborn user or fellow editor with a smile (or the equivalent Unicode character).

== Deletions of links == | |||
It seems that we are being chastised for putting up our link and being accused of deleting others. Just the opposite seems to be happening. Our link which leads others to an information site as well as the suggested 'Standard of Care' sent to WPATH for consideration as well as a contact site for those confused is continually being deleted. It is stated that ours is a duplicate site. It is not any more that than the myriad of sites dealing with transsexualism and transgenderism. If only one site dealing with a subject then I might suggest no need for those duplications either. | |||
Our site HTTP://www.harrybenjaminsyndrome-info.org/ is a separate site that is run by six women who have had corrective surgery. | |||
We are part of a larger group of women born with HBS and who feel unaligned with those that consider themselves as transsexual or transgender. We did not trans anything; we affirmed our physical sex to our brain gender. | |||
I can be reached directly at DianePa@yahoo.com and my real name is Diane. I had my surgery 35 yrs ago in Bklyn, NY by Dr R. Granata and my primary doctors were Harry Benjamin and Charles Ihlenfeld. {{unsigned|DianePa}} | |||
* You are undoubtedly the same Diane so who posted inflammatory and entirely factually incorrect commentary to the ] interview earlier today. So yes, you did delete other links. Here's the evidence. where you deleted the {{tl|Reflist}} template from the ] article, which you have done repeatedly; at least three times now. where you deleted a category (transgender) from the ] article, for some reason. where you attempted to embed your own website into article content even though it's already covered in the references. where you inserted your ] into the article wholesale (with the obligatory link again) and again . Note that a number of other editors - not just me - have reverted your edits. Your ] are nothing but the same links to your own website. Please read ] and ] for the reasons why this is unacceptable. Please also see ] to understand why original research is disallowed within Misplaced Pages. Note that HBS is an entirely non-proven ] and has scant acceptance among the medical and psych commmunity (including ], yes). There is '''no''' proof that HBS is an ] condition; there is just a bunch of suspicions and indeed, as I pointed out earlier today (which you did not address), recent evidence<ref name="eje-utrecht">{{cite journal| author = Hulshoff, Cohen-Kettenis et. al. | year = 2006 | month = July | title = Changing your sex changes your brain: influences of testosterone and estrogen on adult human brain structure | url = http://www.eje-online.org/cgi/content/abstract/155/suppl_1/S107 | journal = European Journal of Endocrinology | issue = 155 | pages = 107-114 | doi = 10.1530/eje.1.02248 | id = {{ISSN|0804-4643}} | }}</ref> suggests that it may '''not''' be an intersex condition. | |||

Anyway, just for context, I was just short of 13 years old when that happened. Age-wise, I could see my parents maybe having some sort of filter on my computer, I'm pretty sure it was not some sort of computer virus. I never specifically asked them about it, my mom could get kind of reactive about things so I didn't want her assuming I was doing something inappropriate. The only thing I can think of on why it never recurred again is that they took internet away from that computer (for reasons that stretch outside of this conversation, nothing terrible though, mainly staying up too late and being lethargic at school) and they maybe never thought to do that again. | |||

Weird Censoring Issue from 2011
I know this is from over a decade ago, but I was looking at my contribution history and it made me think of the time when my browser was inexplicably censoring everything on your page and the page of User:Jolly Janner and you ended up having to be in the middle of it. Not sure if you even remember it occurring, but I thought you might be interested in hearing an update all these years later because it was so bizarre.
Anyway, just for context, I was just short of 13 years old when that happened. Age-wise, I could see my parents maybe having some sort of filter on my computer, I'm pretty sure it was not some sort of computer virus. I never specifically asked them about it, my mom could get kind of reactive about things so I didn't want her assuming I was doing something inappropriate. The only thing I can think of on why it never recurred again is that they took internet away from that computer (for reasons that stretch outside of this conversation, nothing terrible though, mainly staying up too late and being lethargic at school) and they maybe never thought to do that again.
It definitely was not malicious on my part, I was as confounded about it as anyone else, plus I curse like a sailor in certain environments so I am not against profanity as a rule. --Thebirdlover (talk) 05:24, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hey there, @Thebirdlover:. Yeah, it's been nearly 15 years since that incident. I can tell you what happened. Back then, I was an Oversighter, and had responsibilities for personally-identifying information and for children's privacy. Back then, you were a minor, and I was alerted to remove certain information from your user page for your own safety. It's usually done very discretely and even administrators can't see the edits. So that's what happened.
- The issue with User:Jolly Janner was unrelated to yours but involved Doxxing, so I had to dive in there and do some redaction - Alison 22:22, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- I know what the oversight issue was about (that was going back to when I started here), I was talking about this situation that you were involved in related to my computer haphazardly removing expletives because I was reminded of it and felt like trying to explain what was going on as best as I possibly could (even though I still don't completely know what happened). --Thebirdlover (talk) 02:15, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, I had no idea what happened there, and still don't. It looks like there was some weird censorware on your computer, as it wasn't retroactively censored on the WP side, from what I can see - Alison 19:30, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you today for pointing at him! - I have Michael Ruetz on the same page (see story), and music to express happiness and sadness. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:54, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for adding Michael Ruetz, and condolences on his loss, too - Alison 22:24, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! I didn't know him but was fascinated by his photo series. The loss of a friend was in real life. Today, you can listen to the (new) Perplexities after Escher --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:19, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- Listen today to Beethoven's 3rd cello sonata, on his birthday - it was a hook in the 2020 DYK set when his 250th birthday was remembered. I picked a recording with Antônio Meneses, because he was on my sad list this year, and I was in Brazil (see places), and I love his playing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:01, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! I'm in work right now, and cued it up to listen to in my office. Last week was very much a Bach week as the Netherlands Bach Society just livestreamed Bach's Christmas oratorio - have a listen - Alison 19:28, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! A pic of our last performance is in the article ;) - I came to fix the cellist's name, with a 10-years-old DYK and new pics - look for red birds --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:37, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

CheckUser / IP Block exemption
Hello! Just got a notification that my IP block exemption is about to expire, and would love to have it renewed. Hope it's ok to contact you as a CheckUser directly on your discussion page, and that I haven't misinterpreted the guidelines on WP:IPBLOCK. Many thanks in advance!

- Hi there. A quick check and everything looks fine to me. Can you ask @GeneralNotability: as I've no access to the ticketing system? - Alison 19:25, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
- GeneralNotability has been inactive for several months. However, it just happens that I have all the needed accesses, and have extended your IP block exemption by one year, Listz3. Hope you don't mind my jumping in, Alison! Risker (talk) 02:43, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oh - thanks, Risker! Problem solved :) - Alison 03:31, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
