User talk:UBX/LGBTinterest
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Rationale behind this userbox
There has been much discussion on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Userboxes#Deletion of userboxes about the purpose of userboxes, leading to a suggestion by User:Dleigh that userboxes currently expressing affiliation/membership/opinion be changed to represent that a user has an interest in a topic. These userboxes could then be used to find users who might be able to help with articles on particular topics. There currently wasn't a userbox like this for LGBT issues, but there was a rather long list of Wikipedians interested in contributing to articles on LGBT issues, so I've created a corresponding userbox. I feel this userbox will be more useful than the other related userboxes that express orientation or opinion. This way we can express a common interest without having to endorse a common politics or traverse the often-murky waters of LGBT identity. - AdelaMae (talk - contribs) 00:22, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
