Vandalism

If you do not sign your posts to my talk page, they will be deleted. Though with the initials AR... could it be? She's baaack. NickGorton 15:31, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Hi there

Could the two of you please take your flamewar elsewhere? Wikipedia talk pages are really supposed to be for stuff relating to editing Wikipedia. The above "discussion" looks like something off a bad message board. You'll both be happier if you restrict yourselves to actually talking about articles rather than going back and forth with personal attacks. Isomorphic 05:32, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

Oh, and the "lay off the personal attacks" goes double for Angela. Isomorphic 05:34, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

Hmm, let's see, Nicki claimed that female sexuality is like "puttering around in a Yugo." As a female with intense sexual urges (who knows countless other perfectly normal women who are the same), I resent that stereotype. It is stupid, spurious, and disgusting. If that bigot has the right to poison Wiki articles with such spurious views, why don't I have the right to counter that bigotry? -- Angela

Question for you, Isomorphic, would you have the same problem with a person of color who flamed someone in response to being called a 'nigger'? If not then perhaps you need to reconsider your response. For someone who is transgender, being referred to by an inappropriate pronoun, or gendered name, or as a 'pretend' male (or female as the case may be) is the equivalent of being referred to by that racial epithet. Of course Angela's inane comments do about as much harm to me as someone calling my partner a 'nigger' (that is nada. To be honest, she's kind of amusing.) However, I believe you may be judging this by a double standard. I would be interested, however, to hear your comments about the appropriate response in the case of racial rather than gender identity bigotry. -Nick

LGBT

Hi Nick! Could you have a look at Talk:LGBT#Adding more detail - seems before this debate goes on and on and on, a word from an MD might really help there. Thanks a lot, AlexR 23:27, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

OK, I will have a look at it tonight. NickGorton 16:17, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Hormone replacement therapy (trans)

Hi Nick. I was struggling for an alternative to 'non-trans' women as it didn't read very well. Cisgender is a whole lot better than 'natal'. Thanks for the correction! - Pete C ^✍ 20:27, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Re: "Decency" project

Don't worry about that too much - it is hardly the first time that this kind of crusaders try to change the way WP works (although it is the first time they made up a "project" for it), and so far, they have not been exactly successfull. Might make for an interesting round of debates, though ;-) – AlexR 08:58, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

New Emergency Physician category and collaboration

I've started a new category of emergency physicians to encourage greater interest in related articles. Please help me to expand and improve the article on emergency department and perhaps later Emergency Medicine - perhaps we will eventually reach featured article status for these subjects.--File Éireann 18:05, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

The article Emergency department has now been nominated for an Article Improvement Drive. I would be very pleased if you could go to the Article Improvement link above and back the nomination. Its near the bottom of the page--File Éireann 19:39, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

WP:LGBT

Hi, Nick! Would you be interested in joining the LGBT Studies Wikiproject? It's been around for a while, but there's been a recent push to start assessing articles and getting things moving. Your help would be appreciated! Thanks, – SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 20:43, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hi, NickGorton~enwiki, 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 other questions, feel free to ask me or any other experience editor, and we will be happy to help you. And once again - Welcome!

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: {{Bisexuality topics sidebar}} and {{Transgender sidebar}} 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.

LGBT WikiProject Newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter! Issue III - February 1, 2007

Announcement: If someone requests help or feedback on an article, please try your hardest to help them out if you are able. Thank you. Project News The LGBT Portal has once again been revamped and a work rota started. Efforts towards Featured Portal status are slowly coming together. The assessment system has been a great success, we have tagged over 4000 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. The Translation department has changed its focus, to LGBT articles about non-English topics and people on which there may be more information on the relevant foreign Wikipedia. Please add your name if you are fluent in any language other than English. Jumpaclass is picking up slowly, with nine people having entered. With over 2000 stubs we need to improve our article quality. Please sign up and get it going! Challenge another user to see how far you can jump a stub! There is an ongoing discussion about the current LGBT categorisation system here, here, and a little bit here. A special page has now been set up here to deal with this. A Watchlist has been set up to monitor controversial and/or highly vandalised articles. It can also be used for article disputes, just add a note explaining the nature of the dispute. With the influx of so many active members, there is now enough support for a LGBT studies peer review, which may be found here. It's in the beta phase at the moment, so bear with us if we make any mistakes. Feel free to peer review any articles you have been working on. It was agreed this month to start reducing the uses of the Notice board, as many members felt that it was not effective. An open tasks template has been created, bringing together important announcements, FAC/FARs, Peer reviews, XfDs, the COTM, and requested articles. You may desire to watchlist it. A Deletion sorting subpage is also now working to bring together XfDs - this should be bot-driven, but we have not currently tagged enough articles to make this fully automated, so please update the list with any LGBT-related XfDs you come across. Article news Two articles were recently shepherded through the Featured Article process by two of our members - Same-sex marriage in Spain and The Well of Loneliness. Congratulations go to (respectively) Raystorm and Celithemis!

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called NickGorton. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name NickGorton~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
