I live in San Francisco. I am interested in zine publishing, queer culture, and music. I publish the zine Holy Titclamps
Can you give some citations on how the "controversy" section at GLSEN is inaccurate? I searched on Google, but couldn't find much of anything, and what I could find appeared to be based on that one unreliable article. eaolson 03:02, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 19:46, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Another editor has listed an article that you have been involved in editing, Bruce Daniels, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bruce Daniels. Please look there to see why this is, if you are interested in whether it should be deleted. Thank you. --Eastmain 03:36, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Invitation.
Heya, I notice you're into queer culture, so I'd like to invite you to join WikiProject LGBT studies. We'd be delighted to have you on board! Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 00:13, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Larrybob, 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. Some points that may be helpful:
- Our main aim is to help improve LGBT-related articles, so if someone asks for help with an article, please try your hardest to help them if you are able.
- 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, peer review and a project-wide article collaboration, all of which you are welcome to take part in. We also have a unique program to improve our lower quality articles, Jumpaclass, so please consider signing up there.
- If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to our translation section, to help us improve our foreign LGBT topics.
- If you're planning to stay, have a square in our quilt! You can put anything you want in 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!

Excellent, glad to have you! Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 18:07, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Monthly Challenge: Find 5 editors to LGBT articles and invite them to the project! Check out our recruitment tips if you need them. Good luck!
- Project News
- 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 Dev920 (talk • contribs) has been elected Coordinator 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 assessment system continues to be a great success, we have tagged over 5200 articles! 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.
- Jumpaclass 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 Community department has been set up to foster community amongst our members. It mostly acts as other WikiProjects' Outreach department, but also has a Quilt to which every member is entitled to add a square containing anything of their choice.
- The peer review 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 Deletion sorting subpage exists for XfDs to be listed: please use and watch that page instead of issuing "alerts" for ordinary AfDs on the project talkpage.
- WP:FILM has a current drive to give every film article an infobox. WP:LGBT successfully gave all 105 LGBT infoboxless films infoboxes, so a big thank you to everyone who participated.
- A new template, LGBT-footer, has been created for articles which are becoming to cluttered with infoboxes. Thanks to WJBscribe and SatyrTN for creating it.
- A very basic resources page 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 Dev920 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 here if you are interested in being involved.
- An LGBT WikiProject has been set up on the Spanish Wikipedia! Set up by Raystorm, 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!

[edit] nigeriacongress.org
In this edit, I think you're making the same mistake I did a while ago, referring to http://www.nigeriacongress.org as the official website of the National Assembly of Nigeria. Note how it is actually controlled by WANGOnet, which stands for West African Non-Governmental Organization Network or something similar. Picaroon 19:26, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the pointer. Is the site reliable, though?--Larrybob 19:29, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, it's a reliable website - I've cited it multiple times, and it seems to have it's facts straight. Picaroon 19:42, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] ZineWiki
Hi Larrybob. Since you are a prominent zine editor, I thought you might be interested to know that the article on ZineWiki has been nominated for deletion. ZineWiki is a project dedicated to the documentation of zines, zine editors and zine culture, and Holy Titclamps is included there. If you would be interested in voicing your thoughts on the matter, please go to: [1]. Hope to hear from you there!Intheshadows 19:36, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
