[edit] RFA

Hi there. I think you should withdraw this. The fact that you have blanked out the RfA template and put your own sentence there, and added yourself to the bottom instead of the top, will get you a lot of hard criticism. Also you have done less than 100 edits when the usual requirement is about 2000-3000, and have uplaoded pictures without proper tagging which is frowned upon. Regards, Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 04:23, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I did this guy a favor and fixed up his nomination. Let's see how it goes. Mostly Rainy 06:26, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Some kind folks have helped you to set up your nomination. Please answer the questions if you still want to apply. Remember that you can withdraw the nomination at any time if you feel that the odds are against you. (And be aware that other people can do it as well!) Conscious 06:28, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Sorry to say, but your first attempt fail miserably wither a final vote of 2 positive and 24 negative. Try again in a few months. Mostly Rainy 02:48, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Homophobia

hi -- I reverted your {{npov}} tag addition to this article, since adding the tag without explaining why doesn't help us fix the problems. if you really have specific issues with the article, please explain them on the Talk page, describe passagess you find NPOV and discuss ways that they can be rectified, and then put the {{npov}} tag back up. otherwise, you're not giving us anything to work with. thanks. bikeable (talk) 03:16, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Homophobia

Your reasons for putting the npov tag on homophobia:

I agree with adding the {{npov}} tag back on the page, reason being that the word itself is probably one of the most know loaded words. Ergo, I suggest that the tag remain up until the article reaches a neutral level, without any bias.

are not sufficient to add that tag to that article. Here's why: You're saying, essentially:

1. The word itself is probably one of the most loaded words.
2. Therefore, I suggest that the tag remain up until the article reaches a neutral level, without any bias.

Your reasoning is presented in the form of an deductive argument, but the premise doesn't relate to the conclusion at all. Further, both are just your opinion. What would work better is going through the article and copying-and-pasting examples of the bias you think is there, so that it can be addressed. If a dialogue like that were going on on the talk page I would wholeheartedly support your readding the npov tag. -Smahoney 04:01, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] we could use your help standing up to ...

... User:Exploding Boy at the homophobia article. i tried to insert the word "pejoratively" in a sentence that says that homophobia may be referred to "opposition to same-sex activism on religious, moral, or political grounds". he won't have it. i already reported him as a WP:3RR violator. r b-j 05:36, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

in regards to the comment you left on my user talk page, I would be glad to help out by standing up against exploding boy, and taking away the bias of the article. --Piemanmoo 01:56, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
we can converse here, since i first contacted you here (and i'll watch this usertalk page). a lot happens in 6 days here at Wikipedia. we already had our little edit war and E.B. essentially withdrew. but i didn't want it to appear superficially to the admins that i was the only editor that understood that the unqualified use of "homophobia" to mere political opposition really is a pejorative with no support in the basic definition of the word. he would stand for it at first, but eventually he realized that, if he played by the rules (and i was seeing to it that if he didn't play by the rules the admins would know about it), he was not going to be able to stop that qualification of that particular use of "homophobe" in the article.
it would be good to keep an eye out on the article so if there is a contest of support, you will be able to add your voice. sometimes reason and logic and the simple facts are not sufficient. r b-j 02:29, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
