| The LGBT studies project has been rather quiet of late. Though we've added over 180 new members in the last year, only a small percentage are active participants. If you haven't visited our project or talk page in a while, please stop by for a look. Also, if you happen to bump into another editor who you feel might enjoy working with us, please extend an invitation. There's lot's do do, and the active members would sincerely appreciate some help. | |||
| Welcome to the 11 new members that joined us in September: ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], and ]! | |||
| ;] | |||
| Our Peer review project is struggling at the present, with only a few people reviewing the articles. While it is certainly possible to submit articles for a general peer review, a review by members of the LGBT community can be of additional value for LGBT specific writing. There are several articles currently up for review on a wide range of topics. At the very least, reading the articles will undoubtedly broaden your intellectual horizons :-) | |||
| ;] | |||
| At the moment, ], ] and ] are up for deletion review. Please take a look at them and make your voice heard at the deletion review. Articles nominated for deletion also present a challenge for improvement. See what you can do, and watchlist our deletion review page. | |||
| ;FA & GA article news | |||
| Since our last newsletter, ] and ] have been promoted to ]. Congratulations to all editors who have worked so hard to improve them! While ] was promoted to ] on ], ], we have had no articles reach ] status since ] was promoted last March. In fact, one article of our Project was delisted: ]. Please take a look at out listed articles and see if you'd like to try to take one to Featured status (there are almost 8,000 to choose from). Additionally, ] has been nominated for Featured status. Please read the article and give feedback at the ]. (See also ].) | |||
| ;Pederasty article controversy | |||
| The ] articles continue to be a point of controversy both within and outside of our community. Various editors have suggested that to include them as LGBT Project related somehow taints the project and brings Misplaced Pages into disrepute. Other editors have stated that the articles, and especially the Pederasty article, are part of the core of LGBT studies. Well meaning editors continue to remove our tags from the articles themselves as well as the talk pages. If you have time, please read the articles and watchlist them to protect them from vandalism and well meaning but counterproductive edits. | |||
| ;] | |||
| The list of LGBT people has survived its 4th nomination for deletion. Please watchlist this list to protect it from vandalism and unsourced additions. There are many in Misplaced Pages who would like to see this Featured status list removed from the project. It is up to us to keep it to such a high caliber that it never is removed. | |||
| ;] | |||
| Our project member David Shankbone is now working as a journalist for ], as well as continuing to improve our project and Misplaced Pages as a whole with his photographs. A sincere thank you goes out to him for all of his hard work. Misplaced Pages would not shine nearly as brightly without your contributions, David. | |||
| ;] | |||
| ] | |||
| The surviving life partner of prominent LGBT rights activist Barbara Gittings recently called one of our editors and, among other things, complimented us on what a great job our project is doing on Misplaced Pages. Thanks to everyone who contributes to this project, either through their article edits or support for other project members. We really are making an difference here! | |||
| ;Member assistance | |||
| Some of our project members have been having difficulties related to editing on the encyclopedia. If you are feeling frustrated or distressed by your editing experience, please don't keep it to yourself. Misplaced Pages is a collaborative effort, and we are all here to help one another. Drop a line on our talkpage or on another editor's page, and other members of the LGBT project will happily give you the support you want and need. | |||

Revision as of 06:17, 12 October 2007
User:Mira/Top User:Mira/Border User:Mira/Talk
Migrate my archive?
Hi there,
I noticed what you did with Rfrisbie's userbox archive, and was wondering if you could do the same to mine (if it's not too much work) at User:MiraLuka/Userboxes (a full list is at User:MiraLuka/Userboxes/Alphabetical). I've been out of the userbox "business" for a while now, and I recently asked for a name change, so I thought this would be the ideal time to move them all out. Please let me know if you're willing to do this. —Mira 08:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- No work for me, just my bot. I'll start the work in a couple of days. —METS501 (talk) 17:22, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks! —Mira 21:25, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I know you said you'd have your bot work on my request, and I don't mean to pester you. I just wanted to be sure you didn't forget, that's all. Thanks again. —Mira 01:25, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Nope, don't worry; I didn't forget :-) —METS501 (talk) 01:29, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Heh, don't mind me, I'm a little forgetful myself, so I just worry that everyone else is like me. :) —Mira 01:42, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- All userboxes moved to User:UBX's space, now the bot is updating transclusions. —METS501 (talk) 02:23, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Great. I noticed when I was cleaning all those boxes out of my watchlist that there's at least one odd one: {{User:UBX/DEUTSCH}} (moved to User:UBX/DEUTSCH) is actually just a redirect to Misplaced Pages:Userbox migration/Userbox. So transclusions should probably be pointed there. I'll let you know if I find another odd one. —Mira 02:27, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, OK. The bot run is fully automatic, so for now I'll have it migrate it to User:UBX/DEUTSCH and maybe afterwards I'll bypass the redirect. —METS501 (talk) 02:29, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry about that. I suppose I should have checked first. —Mira 02:31, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- No problem. Just to fill you in, the bot says that the estimated finish time is around 3/20/2007 3:27:23 EST, which would be 3/20/2007 07:27:23 UTC. —METS501 (talk) 02:40, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Neat that it tells you when it'll be done. Thanks for telling me. I did find one other odd one, though. User:UBX/knight redirects to User:Nouly/Userboxes/User knight. And do you think you could migrate User:MiraLuka/Userboxes/Nav as well? —Mira 02:56, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Your answer is here :-) —METS501 (talk) 03:05, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- I'm going to bed for the night, but I'll leave the bot running. It's going quicker than expected, so expect the time to be approximately 3/20/2007 06:43:49 UTC. Then I'll go through and fix any extra cases (i.e. protected pages, pages caught by the spam filter, pages with extremely unusual formatting that weren't caught by the bot, etc.) and then when all transclusions are fixed will delete your subpages. —METS501 (talk) 03:41, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well, have a good night's sleep. :) —Mira 03:43, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

- Well, it looks like your bot has stopped. I'm not sure if it finished, though, because my name change seems to have gone through around the same time. One thing I do know is that all the userbox pages got moved to my new namespace, so now there are twice as many pages to delete. :( —Mira 06:49, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well, it was done migrating as far as it knew, but unfortunately the name change really screwed everything up :-) I'm going to school now, I'll be home later today and will try and fix the rest. —METS501 (talk) 11:06, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry to make you do work :-). Do you mind going through the templates listed at Special:Prefixindex/User:MiraLuka/Userboxes/ and marking all of them with no more transclusions for deletion? Thanks. It should be most of them, and at that point it will be much easier for me to see what work I have left. If you could also do the same for Special:Prefixindex/User:Mira/Userboxes/, that would be great. Thanks! (you should do the first ones first because they redirect to the second ones) —METS501 (talk) 21:58, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Certainly. I was just going to ask you what I could do to help. It might take a little while for me to get to them, though, I'm just about to call home. —Mira 22:04, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- I'm in no hurry :-) Whenever you get to it, even if it's several days, is fine with me. —METS501 (talk) 22:06, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, and thanks for fixing my mistake on Template:WikiProject Wisconsin. I was wondering if you could help me out with something. I can't figure out how to make the importance option disappear when the page is not an article. (Compare Image talk:000 0060 2.jpg to Category talk:Major league baseball players by team.) I also am not sure how to make the wording of the template on non-article pages to not use the word "article" in the line "This article has been rated..." (again like in the example). Do you know how to fix it? Thanks. —Mira 06:23, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- How's that? —Disavian (/contribs) 06:26, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- Hmm...that works, although it wasn't exactly what I had in mind. I'm just a little worried that (for normal articles) if people don't see that the importance is unassessed, they might just not assess it at all... —Mira 06:30, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- So you just want to show them that importance hasn't been assessed if it's an article talk page? Sounds doable. —Disavian (/contribs) 06:38, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- Right...I think. Heh, this has been a learning experience for me, I'm not used to dealing with that much code. —Mira 06:42, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- Did that fix it? —Disavian (/contribs) 06:45, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- It looks like it did, but this image talk page still shows "This article has..." Would you just need to add "Image talk=image" in where you did this edit? —Mira 06:49, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- Correct. —Disavian (/contribs) 06:53, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- Fixed. Would you prefer Images to be "NA-class" or would you like an "Image-class"? —Disavian (/contribs) 06:55, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- Hmm...you know, it might be interesting to have an Image-class to work with. I suppose we could do that. —Mira 07:00, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- And would you want a category to go with that? —Disavian (/contribs) 07:01, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- Why, yes I would. —Mira 07:03, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- Done. I also went ahead and removed the importance categories from non-article talk pages. You'll have to create your category now and place it where you want it. For now, I have it as Category:Wisconsin images or something like that. —Disavian (/contribs) 07:06, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- Looks great. —Mira 07:16, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the wikicookie :) It's now on my userpage under "Awards." It's interesting that our paths should cross again after all of that userbox crap. I pretty much ignore all of it nowadays, as I'm more focused on the project I started and its articles. —Disavian (/contribs) 23:47, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- Wow, I didn't even make the connection until you mentioned it. I took a long wikibreak to get away from those evil userboxes, and I'm very glad I did. It's much more fun (and productive) that way. —Mira 08:29, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- Same here. Once I came back, I pushed them aside, and have focused more on actual content. I'll always have that spike of ~2.5k userspace edits, though :p —Disavian (/contribs) 20:43, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
