[edit] Comics Cleanup
You are one of the best editors working on comics-related articles on Wikipedia. I'd like to inite you to join the new WikiProject I've started: WikiProject Comics Cleanup. Similarly to how the WP:CMC collaboration works to elevate articles to Featured Article status, the primary goal of this new project is to coordinate group cleanup efforts on articles, copy editing, condensing, and providing citations where needed. The secondary goal is to remind good editors that there are other good editors who have the same goals.
This will also help prepare articles for Wikipedia 1.0 assessment, a project I am currently working on pulling together for WP:CMC. I'd really appreciate your membership, but I do understand if you find yourself to be too busy to participate. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 18:58, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:Notability (comedy)
I've created Wikipedia:Notability (comedy) to help editors in deciding the notability of comedy- and humor-related articles. You are an editor whom I respect and admire. I would appreciate any commentary you may be able to provide to help hammer it into shape. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 09:05, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] removal of link
The link that you have removed twice from the 'adhesive tape' page is a legitimate link that points to TapeInfo.com. This site, although a commercial site, has an adhesive tape search engine that allows users to find the tape they are looking for from over 10,000 tapes from the world's best tape manufacturers.
This search engine was developed by industry professionals and is endorsed by all of them. Most industrial manufacturers use tape, and getting the 10,000 datasheets, cross-references and specifications that this site offers is of great use to the engineers, operations managers and purchasing managers in these industries.
I appreciate the fact that you are trying to remove 'advertising' from Wiki, but I have included this link in good faith. As a compromise, I will not link to the TapeInfo Homepage, but will instead link to its Find-A-Tape main page. This is the page that describes all the searching methods for finding tapes and datasheets.
Please communicate with me directly if this is not going to work for you. A resolution is best made in this manner, in my opinion. Thank you.
- Referring to Wikipedia:External_links, specifically 1.3.4: "Links to be avoided: Links that are added to promote a site, *that primarily exist to sell products or services*, with objectionable amounts of advertising, or that require payment to view the relevant content, colloquially known as external link spamming." HalJor 16:46, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] removal of link continued
If you notice, both tape glossaries listed on the adhesive tape page link to companies selling products and services. This page that I linked to is not 'advertisey' and as a matter of fact contains no advertisements. I don't know why you chose this category to target, but I have been in the tape industry for a long time and this is the best site I've seen for researching tapes and finding datasheets. Your removal of this link is frankly insulting. It is of no consequence to anyone that this site is owned by a for-profit company. The information presented is unbiased, useful and simply the best on the Web. Please do not revert this link. Thank you.
- I stand by my earlier statement, regarding Wikipedia's policy (which I notice you did not dispute, although you did point out other apparent violations). On the other hand, I have better things to do than argue with you. HalJor 20:28, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
For correcting my typo on the erotic spanking page. I have no idea what the "Folsom Steet Fair" is, and yet that's what I wrote. Edward Wakelin 03:00, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] fisting references
Hi. You've put a bunch of references to "Herrman 1991" at fisting, but that's not enough to find what you are trying to cite. Can you make it a full citation that includes the name of the journal or book, date, publisher, etc.? Thanks. --Strait 17:11, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, never mind, I see what you did. I'm going to see if there's a more elegant way of handling it. --Strait 17:13, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Invitation
Hello, I saw your comment on Power Top and would like to invite you to join WikiProject LGBT studies - we would be delighted to have you! Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 22:14, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi, HalJor, 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!

Great! One thing: I notice you have tagged Bound and Gagged with our banner and have added a peer review option to it. However, you don't appear to have created a peer review for it. I don't know whether this was a mistake or you want to create a peer review for it, but if you do want a peer review, you need to follow the instructions here. Otherwise I would be grateful if you could remove the per review tag. Thanks, Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 15:54, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
- It's gone, sorry about that. HalJor 17:19, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WP:LGBT Coordinator Election Notice
This is just a quick, automated note to let you know that there is an election being conducted over the next 7 days for the position of "Coordinator" for the LGBT WikiProject. Your participation is requested. -- SatyrTN (talk • contribs)

Monthly Challenge: Find 5 editors to LGBT articles and invite them to the project! Check out our recruitment tips if you need them. Good luck!
- Project News
- With such rapid development of the project, it was decided that a Coordinator was needed to ensure all the fiddly maintenence was kept up. Elections were held and Dev920 (talk • contribs) has been elected Coordinator for the next three months. She said "I am honoured and proud to be at the helm of such a fantastic WikiProject and look forward to our future". Congratulations Dev!
- The assessment system continues to be a great success, we have tagged over 5200 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.
- Jumpaclass is proving to be quite successful! The winner at the end of the year gets to pick the January collaboration, so sign up and get going! Or challenge another user to see how far you can jump a stub!
- A new Community department has been set up to foster community amongst our members. It mostly acts as other WikiProjects' Outreach department, but also has a Quilt to which every member is entitled to add a square containing anything of their choice.
- The peer review is not getting much custom - please notice you can cross-list other peer reviews from different projects that also fall within our scope.
- Many people still seem to be unaware that the Deletion sorting subpage exists for XfDs to be listed: please use and watch that page instead of issuing "alerts" for ordinary AfDs on the project talkpage.
- WP:FILM has a current drive to give every film article an infobox. WP:LGBT successfully gave all 105 LGBT infoboxless films infoboxes, so a big thank you to everyone who participated.
- A new template, LGBT-footer, has been created for articles which are becoming to cluttered with infoboxes. Thanks to WJBscribe and SatyrTN for creating it.
- A very basic resources page has been started. Please add to it as you come across useful sites.
- A promotional poster for the project has been created: http://wplgbt.tripod.com/Wikipedianeedsyou.doc (you have to directly cut and paste the url, or it won't let you download it). Please distribute anywhere and everywhere you desire, such as gay libraries, cybercafes, community centres and so on. Also, please let Dev920 know where you have put it up, so she can keep track of our coverage.
- An LGBT Publications Taskforce has been proposed. Please sign up here if you are interested in being involved.
- An LGBT WikiProject has been set up on the Spanish Wikipedia! Set up by Raystorm, it has already gained six members and is developing an assessment system. If you speak any Spanish, please consider going up and lending a hand if you can!

I didn't add scope because the word aggravates Dev920's synesthesia and many of us were looking for a work-around. However, if you think it's the only workable option, I (or anyone else) can add it anyway. I wanted to make this caveat clear first though. Shall I add it? — coelacan — 06:53, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Monthly Challenge:
- Article News
- Project News
- There is now the beginning of a list of core topics to possibly be included in the Wikipedia 1.0 release. Your suggestions are welcome; there may be many core LGBT topics still missing.
- We have a list of people categorized as LGBT whose articles need to be checked for reliable sourcing. This effort is necessary and urgent, to comply with Wikipedia's policy on living persons. Please take a few moments to source one article; if you've got time, do another.
- SatyrTN identified all the articles that were in subcategories of Category:LGBT but not yet tagged with the project's banner, about 1,400 articles. These have been completed, though SatyrBot will make periodic runs through the cats to find any new entries. Thanks Satyr!
- The number of articles within our project's spectrum (6,667 currently) should now be relatively stable and only grow with article creation. However, if you find a category that should be included, please let SatyrTN know so it can be included in the bots runs.
- Work is underway to improve the LGBT Portal. Please add any good quality (free) photos you come across on LGBT articles to the gallery here. Also if anyone would like to volunteer to help in maintaining the portal, please make yourselves known on the Portal's talkpage.
- If you see any articles for deletion or any other deletion discussions related to LGBT topics, please remember to add them to the deletion sorting board. Thanks!
