Could anyone help complete this page? I am looking forwards to it. Thanks! --FallingInLoveWithPitoc 04:55, 24 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Why removed the notice above? I think a lot of parts in this page need to be improved, and almost all content in the page was moved from Homosexuality. :O --FallingInLoveWithPitoc 05:24, 24 Oct 2003 (UTC)

[edit] "Please feel free"

I took this paragraph out of the beginning of the article:

This article tries to introduce the history of homosexuality in the world from ancient to modern times. Please feel free to add anything you know to improve it.

First, the name of the article is "history of homosexuality". If it dealt with cat kidney diseases or the Boston Red Sox, it would probably make sense to describe the subject of the article. But it's probably pretty self-evident now.

Second, anyone should feel free to add anything or delete anything or edit or update anything in any Wikipedia article. There's no need to enjoin them to do so in the article itself. --ESP 22:29, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I thought at first that the first comment above conflicted with Manual_of_Style#Article_introduction. On reflection I can see that although there probably should be a headline to explain the thrust of the article, it shouldn't just say "This is an article about..." I shall try to think of something.

Wow, it's so cool you guys added so many stuff here :). About that intro, I just try to make people know that this article needs attention, and it would be deleted when it's finished (or nearly finished, or well enough, just like lots of articles do, see List of China-related topics). Anyway, keep working! I am looking forward to that.  :) --yacht (Talk) 04:56, Dec 19, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed name change

I propose changing the name of this article from History of Homosexuality to History of Western Homosexuality, or History of Homosexuality in the West. History of homosexuality outside the west is given only in the form of links to dedicated pages (eg: History of Homosexuality in China). Exploding Boy 04:29, Jan 24, 2004 (UTC)

Well, I think keeping this title will be useful. I will try to expand the homosexuality in the east, but I think we will finally split this article into several articles as the content being added; maybe later we would have different articles about the history of homosexuality in different countries! (i am planning to write Homosexuality in the United States). BTW, do u think the current structure of the article is good? I think I made a bad beginning. --Yacht (Talk)Q 01:57, Jan 27, 2004 (UTC)

   Good point about adding histories of homosexualities in other countries.   
   This article could become more general as other articles expand.  It's   
   looking good so far though  Exploding Boy 08:41, Jan 27, 2004 (UTC)

I think this article is great...but I'd like to see a lot more between ancient times and modern times. The molly clubs for example.
