[edit] TMNT (game)

Thank You for helping me out with the article. Although, there is a problem. Most of the information I obtain (well, pertaining to games) is usually found in my Game Informers. So citing references might be a little harder. :^) §†SupaSoldier†§ 00:19, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to WikiProject LGBT studies!

Hi, Cedlaod, 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!

[edit] Your question on my talk (please respond there)

When somebody uses a more obvious issue to liken it to the issue at hand, it serves only to create an emotional charge. They distract the emotions of people in the discussion. This creates a situation where the opposing side now either has to recant their statement or suffer being judged as also opposing the unrelated more-controversial issue. It is highly unlikely that somebody would be black, deny being black, and be asked constantly by media if they were black. People are not rhumored to be black. The issue is more, so to speak, black and white. By playing the race card, as the person did, (they state it themselves here: [1]) they caused a disruption of the AfD debate, which is inapppropriate. If you and I were at a town hall meeting to discuss whether or not there should be a stop light at a prominent intersection in town, and after a while of debating it, I stood up and said "First a stop light, what next? They might as well brand us and put us into a concentration camp." This would be a similar example in my mind. The comment did not provide commentary on the issue of the debate.... whether or not the articles listed met wikipedia standards. I hope this helps you understand what I meant in my statement.

NO. You are WAY off base. I am saying that the racial issue is one that does not include people persecuted because of rhumors and suspicion. Everybody knows who is black and who isn't. The issues are so very different that raising the other during a discussion of the one serves no relevant purpose for that discussion. And since the racial issue is so charged with emotion and controversy, bringing it up stris up those aspects of a discussion which oherwise was going fine on an evaluation of the points pertinent to the isue at hand. I do not wish to have an ongoing discussion with you about this.... if we need to agree to disagree, then that is fine with me. As for changing ones mind.... I don;t know how much clearer I could have been about changiong my mind.... re-read the AfD.... I tried to get it closed as keep, and it was my nom. I am wondering if this whole discussion we are having is just wikiharassment? At any rate it is not something I wish to continue. Jerry lavoie 23:03, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
thanks. peace. Jerry lavoie 00:35, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
