[edit] Gay stereotyping

A bit off topic, but I would like to recommend that Gay stereotyping be made a collaberation, possibly in January above the other three. Those three, while in need of improvement, are at least decent; Gay stereotyping is a gigantic mess. Koweja 14:48, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Gracious, Koweja, that article is a shambles. I would nominate it for Afd, myself, but if you think it can be helped, I am certainly willing to assist. Jeffpw 15:01, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
I agree that this one is in serious need of some work! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 16:00, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
A dreadful article. Shall we make it the collaboration until January and start our other three in the New Year? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 16:32, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
I agree this should be top priorty. Since Koweja has pointed out the article Stereotypes of Africans/Blacks, which is about to survive its AfD, I've given up hope of seeing it deleted. In which case we might as well make a go of it. I would join in such a collaboration wholeheartedly. - WJBscribe (WJB talk) 01:05, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
Excellent. But, how about we extend the collaboration until the end of January. December is already half over as it is, and many people tend to be busy this time of the year even if they don't celebrate any of the holidays. I think that we manage to get this article up to standards it would be a perfect example of Wikipedia's ability to make the internet not suck. Koweja 01:35, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
So which is it? Bisexuality or Gay stereotyping? We only have one day to decide... :) -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 01:55, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Regretfully, I think Bisexuality has been pushed back to February. We need to set up diffs to show how much homosexuality chaged during it's month. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 02:15, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Well the problem with Gay stereotyping has been "solved" using a tabula rasa approach. The article isn't a mess anymore because it's back to a stub. --Tiger MarcROAR! 21:24, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

The article has been renames/moved to Sexuality-based stereotypes. Koweja 20:52, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nomination: Gay Games VII - urgent?

I want to nominate Gay Games VII as well. There is some urgency in getting this article worked on. Outgames happened in August and their web site has already been shut down. We lost easy access to a good source of information on the Outgames topic. I don't want the same thing to happen to the Gay Games article. Gay Games VII happened this past July and is now over. The Gay Games web site is up now so I want to suggest carpe diem! --Tiger MarcROAR! 20:53, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Or you could just use Archive.org: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.gaygameschicago.org/

[edit] LGBT as Featured Portal

How about we try to make the LGBT portal into a featured portal? It's probably too ambitious at this point, but something good for next summer or so. --Tiger MarcROAR! 21:53, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

I've already proposed a version of this on the WP talkpage - do you want to go to the portal talkpage and agree a rota? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 22:27, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestions

Here are some articles for possible collaboration (in alphabetical order):

All of them needs some work and should be interesting topics.

If our membership continues to grow at 50 a month as it has been been, we will have around 300 members by June, which is which our previously agreed list runs out. So we can hold a vote on your suggested articles. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 11:50, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
