Living Memory LGBT History Timeline from Trans perspective

A possible resource. Transgender Aging Network has launched a project - Living Memory LGBT History Timeline to assist with aging LGBT folks "It is impossible to tell without asking someone precisely which public events shaped their lives, but knowing what was likely reported in newspapers and discussed at dinner parties during a person’s lifetime may help you understand how their worldview was shaped. To offer insight into the concerns, lifestyles, and belief sets of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people who are now 50 and older, the Transgender Aging Network has constructed the following timeline showing how old they would have been when there were critical events or changes in the lives of LGBT people." Starting with the 1920s the events list can be cross-referenced with current GLBT timelines and used as a possible stepping stone to aid Trans projects and awareness.

verbiage

James Martin, S.J. the U.S. entertainment industry is of "two minds" about the Catholic Church. He argues that,

On the one hand, film and television producers seem to find Catholicism irresistible. There are a number of reasons for this. First, more than any other Christian denomination, the Catholic Church is supremely visual, and therefore attractive to producers and directors concerned with the visual image. Vestments, monstrances, statues, crucifixes - to say nothing of the symbols of the sacraments - are all things that more "word oriented" Christian denominations have foregone. The Catholic Church, therefore, lends itself perfectly to the visual media of film and television. You can be sure that any movie about the Second Coming or Satan or demonic possession or, for that matter, any sort of irruption of the transcendent into everyday life, will choose the Catholic Church as its venue.Benjiboi

“

'We live in a society where there are virtually no repercussions,' said Ms. Min of Us Weekly. The repeat offenders who most often populate our gossip, she said, know full well they can 'get arrested one day, walk a red carpet the next, and still have as many photographers shouting their names and wanting their pictures.'

Still, some celebrity journalists believe that while the explosion of instantaneous news media outlets has made these personalities more accountable for their transgressions, the offenses themselves haven’t necessarily grown more offensive over time.

It's fine to open discussion regarding the format of a website link in the infobox, but until it is determined, the format currently being used should be followed. If it is determined to use a different format, then it can be changed. I see no reason to circumvent current protocol in anticipation of a change. Wildhartlivie (talk) 03:04, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

The only reason it is in that protocol is that someone changed the infobox, whether there was any discussion or not I find it quite distasteful to impose one's preference as such. i doubt i will get it overturned quickly but will fix it when it happens. -- Banjeboi 04:17, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Many Thanks (Re: Amanda Lapore) & Marilyn Agency question

Dear Benjiboi,

I've just seen your help on my "first battle" for about Amanda Lepore's picture credit. I was first under my real name login "Gabriel Moginot", but mister Cumulus Clouds have set a war against me ! Anyway, i have a new profile now, but i can't find how to ask for stopping blocking my IP address, do you know how to do ?

Currently, i mostly work with the FR wikipedia, but i would like to improve the EN one to ! So i shared my work and pictures with the FR one, put some pictures into article, improve article on fashion with the help of other members, etc. But, already on the FR wikipedia, i had to explain (and fight) to have the right of showing the photo source (which is in fact my name). I don't consider that as a self promotion, i consider picture credit as an integrated useful information, and in any kind of media credits are clearly displayed (i never call a magazine to ask "who made the picture ?").

Anyway, i have to tell that a big mistake was made, Cumulus Clouds asked for a deletion of Marilyn Agency article, Marilyn is one of the most important model agency, i am not the author of the page, it was already on Misplaced Pages (i've just add a picture of a model from this agency). But this page is deleted now, can we ask for get it back ? Or am i supposed to create it to get it back ?

Thank you for your help. All the best. Gabriel. --Vogue Magazine - Style com (talk) 10:48, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

OK, technically we should not be putting a photo credit on an image like "photo by" or "credit:______"; the Amanada Lapore image, I feel is fine although it would be better if there was an article about the photographer - it has to be written, of course, with a neutral point of view and should assert notability. If they haven't won some notable photography awards then the article would rely upon numerous magazine and newspaper articles written about them.

Similar issues with the Marilyn Agency, it has to be notable and verifiable by relaible sources. I can't find any trace of the article itself so I'm unsure why it was deleted.

Finally if you are the photographer you should check out our conflict of interest policies - these don't prohibit as much as discourage people writing about themselves, their friends, their company, etc. You can still do this but you must be careful to present content in a neutral way and rely on reliable sources. I feel some of the treatment on these issues was too harsh and some was warranted, vandalism, especially persistent cases, drain energy from the community. It's good to be bold but it's also helpful to step back and learn from mistakes if all your work is being removed. I'm happy to offer advice if you want to work on restoring some content that was deleted. -- Banjeboi 20:08, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey, "IT"

How dare you! How dare you continue to describe me as "they", "their", or "them", as if I'm some kind of "thing" rather than a male human being!! I am not some kind of thing!!! I have a name as well as a gender. You know that. I've never been so insulted or so offended by a fellow editor before. Your choice of words used to describe me are hateful, vindictive, shocking, cruel and abusive. I demand you remove those negative terms from the bogus AN/I report you've filed. How would you like it if I refer to you as "IT", huh? You make me sick to my stomach. You disgust me. Caden S (talk) 10:50, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
