[edit] Dalida Entries

Could you put the source of the material you place on WP please and add encyclopaedic information to the articles because they will probably be deleted if you don't. Thank you. Lincher 20:15, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Added Wikipedian user MTV Generation category

please check it out and now we can put our own category on our user pages! Category:MTV Generation Wikipedians Piecraft 14:32, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Brent Corrigan

That would be fine, assuming that's from his official site; don't forget, though, to include the citation. Thanks. :) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 15:00, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject LGBT studies

Hello! I noticed that your userpage mentions that you are interested in LGBT issues. Would you be interested in joining WikiProject LGBT studies? The WikiProject's been a bit inactive recently and some of us are trying to get it going again. We'd love to have you on board! Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 21:42, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Absolutely I'd like you to join! Maybe if your French is stronger than your English you could translate some good quality LGBT articles for us? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 08:23, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Just go to the link above and add you name to the participants list. Then you're a member! We're working on implementing the assessment system at the moment, so you could help with that, or you can do some tasks on the to-do list, or if you are interested in translation, maybe you could translate any LGBT Featured Articles on the French Wikpedia? Anything you want to do is good! Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 10:22, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I have just been looking at the French Featured Articles, and there aren't a lot, let alone LGBT related but one might be quite useful is Patrocle, or Patroclus. His article is fairly abysmal on here, and although I don't know the standards the French wiki uses, it's probably better than what we have at the moment. Why don't you try translating that? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 16:46, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

What I was thinking was that you translate the entire article into Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Translation - that way, everyone can see what was there and we can have a consensus about what to put in in rather than one man deciding, if you see what I mean. Jeff has already done Oscar Wilde from the Dutch, so you might want to use his example. Obviously, if you don't want to do this, or think it too much effort, you are welcome to simply add what you like from the French article. Anything you can contribute is good. :) Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 07:52, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies

Hi, DaliJim, welcome to WikiProject LGBT Studies! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying, categorizing, and improving articles of interest to the LGBT community. A couple of points that may be helpful: Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it. The project has several ongoing and developing activities, such as article quality assessment, and project-wide collaboration, both of which you are welcome to take part in. 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!

[edit] LGBT WikiProject Newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter! Issue II - January 1, 2007

Happy New Year to all our members! Project News Several new templates have been created: {{Bi}} and {{Transgender}} by Dev920 and AliceJMarkham respectively. SatyrTN also created a {{LGBT Welcome}} template to welcome new members. Thanks to them all. The LGBT Portal's various sections could do with updating on a weekly basis. Please pitch in if you can. Latter Days became a Featured Article on December 31. It was written and nominated by Dev920. Congratulations Dev! A new assessment system has been implemented - we have tagged and assessed over 1100 articles so far! Please tag any LGBT related articles you come across by adding {{LGBTProject | class=}} to the talkpage. Please see the Assessment Department for how to assess an article according to the grading system. A fledgling monthly LGBT Collaboration has been started, with Homosexuality as the December article and Gay stereotyping as our January article. Please contribute to this if you can, even if it's just correcting typos. A Translation department has been set up, to translate LGBT articles from foreign language Wikipedias that may have more information than our equivalent article. Please add your name if you are fluent in any language other than English. We have a brand new unique Project! Jumpaclass is a new semi-competition to improve our lower quality articles - see the subpage for more information. Please sign up and get it going! Finally, our membership numbers have exploded! 21 new users have joined the Wikiproject: AdelaMae, WJBscribe, Trodaikid1983, Jtowns, Agne27, Boyau, NickGorton, Dialecticas, DaliJim, Tonei, Cabbers, silent, Textorus, GLGerman, Haiduc, Hornandsoccer, Bopopop, NinaOdell, Badbilltucker, DanB DanD, and Tiger Marc.

[edit] WikiProject France

Hello! We are a group of editors working to improve the quality of France related articles. You look like someone who might be interested in joining us in the France WikiProject and so I thought I'd drop you a line and invite you! We'd love to have you in our project :-) STTW (talk) 15:57, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Goodbye.

I'm sorry to see you leave. If there is anything I can help you with in the future, please contact me. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 21:30, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

That's Ok. Feel free to rejoin again any day you feel able! Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 22:22, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

• I just saw you pulled out of the LGBT translation page. Are you leaving Wikipedia all together? I hope not. If anything has happened to discourage you here, please feel free to drop me a note. I would be happy to give you support if you need it. Sincerely, Jeffpw 21:40, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Good to see you're back. A lot has changed since you left! Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 15:02, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Age category

Hello! If you are receiving this message, that means that your user page is in a specific year category. Per a recent user-category per deletion, all specific year categories are to be deleted. If you wish to continue using year categories, you have two options:

• Using an age group category, such as Category:Wikipedians in their 30s
• Using a decade category, such as Category:Wikipedians born in the 1970s.

If you wish, you may do both. Hopefully, this change in categorization will be quick and painless. Happy editing! --An automated message from MessedRobot 13:18, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
