Thanks for your suggestions on the talk page of this article, and the addition of the external links. The material in the links will be a valuable resource in writing a criticism section. Please feel free to make some changes if you want. I spent a lot of time on it yesterday, keeping it from deletion, and would appreciate some help. Cheers, Jeffpw 20:13, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

  • By the way, I was looking through your recent contributions, and thought you might be interested in joining Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies. It's a pretty friendly group, and we are trying hard to represent all facets of the LGBT community here on Wikipedia. Hope to see you there! Jeffpw 20:24, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Thanks for your kind invitation, I have joined the project. My main contributions are in the Russian section of Wiki tho. But I will try to participate actively here as well.--Antanta 07:18, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to WikiProject LGBT studies!

Hi, Antanta, 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!

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.

[edit] WP:LGBT Coordinator Election Notice

Heya. I can't read Russian at all, so could you possibly tell me what the situation is with Проект:ЛГБТ? Is it active, dead, doing much? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 10:30, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I'm terribly sorry for such delay. Russian LGBT-project is semi-active - we have very few participants so far and also LGBT-articles are usually under serious edit wars with opponents. Most of the time we spend discussing neutral terms and wordings with them - so far this process is extremely slow.--Antanta 09:16, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. So, the will is definitely there, is it? I'd like to help you improve the project if I can but, as I discovered on Projet:LGBT, if no-one cares, nothing can be done. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 08:56, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Well maybe the French guys simply don't have a problem with tolerance and such things. The problem with russian internet-based projects is that only about 23% of population have the internet access, but we're working on it :) As for the project development, maybe you could name some good articles for translation into Russian? Thanks.--Antanta 10:12, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
