[edit] GLSEN

Can you give some citations on how the "controversy" section at GLSEN is inaccurate? I searched on Google, but couldn't find much of anything, and what I could find appeared to be based on that one unreliable article. eaolson 03:02, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Invitation.

Heya, I notice you're into queer culture, so I'd like to invite you to join WikiProject LGBT studies. We'd be delighted to have you on board! Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 00:13, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome!

Hi, Larrybob, 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!

Excellent, glad to have you! Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 18:07, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] nigeriacongress.org

In this edit, I think you're making the same mistake I did a while ago, referring to http://www.nigeriacongress.org as the official website of the National Assembly of Nigeria. Note how it is actually controlled by WANGOnet, which stands for West African Non-Governmental Organization Network or something similar. Picaroon 19:26, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Thanks for the pointer. Is the site reliable, though?--Larrybob 19:29, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Yes, it's a reliable website - I've cited it multiple times, and it seems to have it's facts straight. Picaroon 19:42, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ZineWiki

Hi Larrybob. Since you are a prominent zine editor, I thought you might be interested to know that the article on ZineWiki has been nominated for deletion. ZineWiki is a project dedicated to the documentation of zines, zine editors and zine culture, and Holy Titclamps is included there. If you would be interested in voicing your thoughts on the matter, please go to: [1]. Hope to hear from you there!Intheshadows 19:36, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the message. Yes, I started to write something. I can't do it now, but I'll try to add what I can in the next few days. Burnley 18:04, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Queercore List

Hi Larrybob, Thanks for leaving me a message regarding the list of Queercore bands. In my view, the value of such a list is that it provides a hitorical overview of queercore bands and since such a list is available no where else and since documentation of such a history is available no where else, the list is important. As well, the list makes these bands accessible to anyone who might be interested in such information that would otherwise have a very hard time tracking down all this information in one place; whether that be the historian, the reporter researching an article, or the kid in Idaho who doesn't have access to such information locally. It's just for this reason that I included so many external links. The Queercore movement, by neccesity, seems to have to utilize unconventional outlets to preserve and document its history, since interest in this documentation hasn't come from more mainstream outlets thus far. Such uncoventional outlets are useful also for providing accessibility to current information about Queercore that might be difficult to find otherwise. I've used Wikipedia for this purpose in assembling this list.

However, I'm well aware that interest in preserving the history of what has been referred to by Wikipedians as "minority" subcultures is not the purpose of Wikipedia. The list was erased at one point by an editor, who made the above comment, and after I appealed to the administrator Bearcat, was reinstated. You can read about this episode on the List of Queercore bands talk page. However, despite getting the list reinstated, this experience proved to me that perhaps Wikipedia is not the place to preserve such a history, even though no other venue is available at the present time. Not only can it be deleted easily by editors who may not favour such a list existing, the experience served to remind me that I have no wish to spend my time arguing with others over the value of such a history, or the inclusion of any of the articles that others have attempted to delete, and no wish to spend a lot of time on such work since it is, after all, only temporary. This being the case, I no longer spend too much time editing on Wikipedia any longer. As you can see from the above, my agenda from the beginning was not the betterment of Wikipedia, but rather the preservation and advancement of the Queercore movement. Therefore, I'll leave it to you to decide if the list of Queercore bands has value, in whatever form you choose to perserve it in, and for whatever reasons you might have to either delete, edit, or keep it.Intheshadows 18:26, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Feminist Majority Foundation

Thanks for the note. However, I didn't miss it as such. I found the IP vandalism (obvious) and checked the previous two edits also by Scarlet 257. I do not have the specialist knowledge to judge whether the removal of Bikini Kill is or is not vandalism, as you classified it in your edit summary, but as far as I knew (and as far as I still do) it was a valid editorial action. What makes it vandalism? Tyrenius 01:41, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

I suggest you discuss it with the user, as there is nothing on his/her talk page about this, rather than just branding as vandalism, which should not be applied to good faith edits - which these may be. I'm not looking any further into it myself, but it should obviously be checked whether the mentions that have been deleted were correct in the first place. Also, please remember WP:BITE.
