[edit] Sonia Gandhi

Hi, What makes you think Sonia Maino was born Sonia Maino ? She was born as Antonia Maino. What did she do at Cambridge ? Steven claims she did not go to Cambridge University yet that's what Sonia( Antonia Maino ) has been claiming.

Why is opposition party referred to as "Hindu Nationalist"? I corrected it since wikipedia does not allow opinions. It allows "FACTS". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.13.75.210 (talk) 04:12, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hartmut Gründler. new article /dec11 07. Help required

Hello, Jreferee. Since you offered assistance to authors of biographies I would like to describe what I have been doing and where I think I need some help. In January 2007 I started an an article on "Hartmut Gründler" in the German Wikipedia. (I knew the Gandhi-adherent Gründler since 1975 and cooperated with him until his fire suicide mid November 1977, which he committed out of protest against the misinformation of the German Government in its atomic energy policy. I keep an archive of his writings and documents about him [about 1000 documents listed up] and prepare to write a new biography of him. I have already published some of his writings, in 1997.) Some weeks ago I translated into English my wiki-text, which had been thoroughly revised by my German administrators, and started to put the stub into the English wikipedia. In the recent days I added the rest (two photoes still need to be inserted). My request now is: a) Could you have a look at my article? b) What have I to do to change the status of "stub-class" into the appropriate status of an ordinary article? c) Where can I find the guidelines for the additional insertion of the two envisaged photos, the one of the German text and a second one whose author I still have to find out. d) Could you help me with the correct wordings of the categories (which I simply copied from the German article)? e) Are there any further helpful suggestions you could make to enhance my article? With kind greetings, --Wilfried Huefler (talk) 11:25, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed article on Laurence Caruana

Hello Jreferee

I recently posted a stub for an article on Laurence Caruana. I posted it on the discussion page, awaiting some feedback before trying to post it as an article (I'm not sure if this was proper procedure - please advise). Could you please cast a sympathetic eye over it? I would greatly appreciate any advice you might have - particularly as I would like to post it without causing any issues. You can find the stub at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Laurence_Caruana

Thanks for your time and patience,

Jemecache (talk) 18:31, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks in advance,

Hello again,

It seems it was wrong to try posting a proposed article on Laurence Caruana on the discussion page - it was immediately deleted! Well, live n' learn.

I've now posted the proposed article in my sandbox. It can be found by going to [jemecache/sandbox]. Could you please cast an eye over it before I try to post it?

I also have a question. If (after I post it) someone tags the article with a template that questions notability, what is the usual procedure for responding? How long does the template remain, and who removes it? Can I remove it? Is it normal for someone to put a template, without at least discussing the issue first? So far, I haven't found a wiki policy that explains all this. - Thanks!

[edit] LGBT WikiProject Newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter! Issue XII - December 1, 2007 Ms Julie is .. unavailable .. this month, so Isaac and Gopher have stepped in to put this newsletter thing together. We may not be as funny as you're used to, but if you'd like a free drink, come see me at the bar. That might help. Maybe. And no, there aren't any flashing lights or fancy pictures this month - I'm still recovering from a whopping hangover. Julie's recovering too, but that's a story I'll let her tell. Two New Featured Articles (and...) Emma Goldman was promoted to Featured status on 2007 December 27. If you don't know Ms. Goldman, she was a Lithuanian anarchist. Aren't many of those around, really, so having one of our very own is special. She'll be dancing the Cha-Cha on the Promenade deck later tonight. Ann Bannon was promoted to Featured status on 2007 December 3. Faithful readers may remember Moni moaning that we didn't mention this promotion in the last newsletter. Happy now? Ludwig Wittgenstein seems to have been dropped from the vaunted roles - he was downgraded to "B class" on 29 December 2007. What a way to end the year! Let's see - we started December with 35 FAs. We added two and dropped one. So somewhere there's a missing FA - has anyone seen one lying around? Jumpaclass Contest winner The winner of 2007's Jumpaclass competition is Fluffball70 (talk · contribs)! Congratulations, Fluffball! Despite strongly being urged to select Love Boat as the next WikiProject Collaboration, she has chosen LGBT Symbols as her prize: please contribute to its improvement - or enter the competition for this year! Ze Portal The marathon efforts of Dev920 against her astonishing abilities of procrastination continued this month, and she managed to update the Portal's main articles. Whether she will finally beat her procrastination pixies in submission and update the biographies remains to be seen, but Jeffpw has leapt to the rescue and taken it upon himself to do all our lovely news. Friends, lend us your goodwill and your eyeballs, and mosey on over to see all Jeff's hard work. Also, back in October 2007, Allstarecho and Benjiboi worked diligently on the "WP:LGBT Random Quote" and "WP:LGBT Random Picture" sections of the portal. They added many new quotes and pictures but, and yes here's the cat's meow friends... you can now use these on your own user pages! To add the "WP:LGBT Random Quote" to your own userpage, use: {{Portal:LGBT/Quotes}} And to add the "WP:LGBT Random Picture" to your own userpage, use: {{Portal:LGBT/Pics}} If you'd like to see it in action, check out Allstarecho's userpage for both in action and Benjiboi's talk page for the Quotes in action! The long, slow race toward FP status continues... Bisexual Awareness Month Folks in Utah are celebrating Bisexual Awareness Month. For our own wikicelebration, Alison suggests we try to bring Bisexuality at least up to good article status. Working on the Utah article would be encouraged, but do it stealthily - they don't like us to be *too* open. A cunning plan In a move sure to bring her fame and fortune at last, Dev920 (talk · contribs) has proposed that an FA buddying system be set up, to help nudge frightened tikes who also happen to write killer ass articles over that initial first FAC hurdle. Anyone interested in shepherding duties, or anyone interested in being made to lie beside still waters (handcuffs are optional), do drop Dev an RSVP so she can start battering those darned pixies...

[edit] Image query

Hello Jreferee. You might remember me from a discussion we had regarding Image:NREAGANKISSCASKET1.jpg, a photo of Nancy Reagan kissing President Reagan's casket in the Capitol rotunda. During the undeletion discussion, the issue of the image being iconic was brought up; I would like to inquire as to what circumstances an image can be uploaded under fair use because it is 'iconic' (such as this image). The Nancy Reagan image certainly is iconic, and I believe it was deleted because, as you correctly pointed out, I had a lack of understanding Wikipedia's image policies. I'm much more in-tune now and feel it is time to revisit this issue, as User:IronGargoyle stated on the deletion review page. I was wondering if you could shed some light on how to do this.

[edit] WP:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:BQZip01/Comments#User:BQZip01.2FComments

If you remember, you weighed in on the use of user pages to draft a future RFC, and whether such use might count as an attack page if not promptly converted from a personal on-wiki collection of evidence about a person into an actual RFC or ArbCom case. The above is an ongoing discussion of one such user page; part of the question is what counts as a "reasonable" period of time to bring the RFC or delete the draft. (Opinions differ from "a few days" to "several months.") The discussion seems to be floundering a bit on what this policy means, so, if you're interested, I thought you might have input to add. (If not, sorry to bug you.) Thanks. --TheOtherBob 15:29, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:KateLorigPublicity.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:KateLorigPublicity.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 13:23, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:TownTopicsLogo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:TownTopicsLogo.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 02:12, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A-class review of the William Stacy article

Hello Jreferee. Last summer you had kindly nominated the William Stacy article to appear under the Did you know... section. I’ve recently noticed that you are a member of WikiProject Biography, so I wanted to ask for your help (if you are interested). Since last summer, the William Stacy article achieved GA-class, and then underwent a biography peer review here. I submitted the article for a biography A-class review here during December, but there seems to be a lack of A-class reviewers. If you have the time, and if you are interested or inclined to review the article, I would appreciate. If not, no problem. Thank you, ColWilliam (talk) 01:47, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Derek Smart WP:BLP article assistance

Hello, for sometime now, the Derek Smart article has come under various attacks. To the extent that most of the editors who seem to have tenure, are no longer even vetting the entries. For e.g. today I made various revisions under the WP:BLP guidelines and also left notes in the talk page. Another editor, SwatJester who has done such blanking before, simply came in and revert the change without so much as even reading it nor indicating why he did that. This is clearly abuse. If you read the changes I made, you will see that not only were they factual but also perfectly correct for a closely watched [WP:BLP] article. Can you help? Otherwise, its just going to end up being yet another revert war and with the erroneous data being left in place.Ho Lee Cow (talk) 15:11, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Please view the Derek Smart Arbitration Case remedies, as well as Ho Lee Cow's contributions. It's extremely likely that this editor is a sockpuppet of Derek Smart. ⇒SWATJester ^{Son of the Defender} 18:37, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Somatic Responses

I spent about fifteen minutes trying to find just the info on there, okay? This is not a snippet from the band page. This is information that is hard to find. I would consider you right, except that Somatic Responses are no less notable than Rabia Sorda - an another article on an indie electronic band that I created - and this article actually contains information that people can't just find without typing it into Google.
I hate this about you admins sometimes. You deleate articles on things just because you haven't heard of them. Stormchaser (talk) 01:52, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Wait, never mind. The article that I saw deleted was one with different capitalization. Never mind. Tee hee. Stormchaser (talk) 01:52, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Scott McGregor

Please do not delet the page for Australian model Scott McGregor. He is Australia's highest profile male model and there are no other resources on the internet that provide a valuable summary on the man himself. He is also a television presenter on Austrtalia's highest rating subscriber TV network. There are many far less noatble people with a Wikipedia entry, it would be a shame to see this page disappear. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Benjwilson (talk • contribs) 03:05, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Project Narnia

Hello, when you moved Project Narnia into the Project Novels space, there were some subpages that were not moved. How do we go about adding them back to the project? LloydSommerer (talk) 14:41, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted Page: Characters, World War Z

I did a good deal of work on this page, trying to connect the characters with the Real World (tm) elements satirized. I thought that that was the point of being "notable" but perhaps I have misunderstood. I have to say I don't spend a great deal of time on Wikipedia; mostly I came to see what my students were cribbing (!) and have edited a few pages. I found the deletion of my contribution somewhat disconcerting. I believe that you were the person who deleted it and I hope you can put it back again or at least let me know why you don't like it. Thanks Stewart king (talk) 06:44, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] LGBT WikiProject Newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter! Issue XV: June 11, 2008 Hello, members and friends of WP:LGBT! I'm not one to be writing newsletters, but I miss our cruise director, Miss Julie, and our project is drifting along with a few leaking plugs in the bottom of the boat. Hey, it happens. Every group we join goes through changes. If Wikipedia weren't so interesting it wouldn't also be so frustrating sometimes. And vice versa. More than one Wikiproject has tumbleweeds blowing through it, but this is one that can't afford to let that happen. Even if you pop in to the talk page of the project, you can let us know you're still around. [edit] WP:LGBT's Role in HIV / AIDS articles It wouldn't be a proper gay community without a li'l bit o' drama! That's right. If we aren't arguing about something, then we should be asking if we're still queer. Maybe that's for the best, since we know we're still kicking. Our most recent topic is how far the role of our project should go in dipping our toes into HIV/AIDS articles. The main AIDS article was delisted as a Featured Article last month, sadly. (Sending a swift kick to WP:Medicine.) A spirited discussion is available for your entertainment on the WP:LGBT talk page about just how much of HIV and AIDS should we take on. As ever, we'll take your opinions under advisement. We're going to have to, because it doesn't seem to have been settled. [edit] Is Pride POV? We have a pretty cool sidebar that identifies core LGBT articles. Its symbol is the iconic gay pride flag, much like other Wikiprojects have iconic symbols denoting the topic is a core subject in a series of articles. However, a question recently arose asking if the symbol itself is not neutral. Should a pride flag show up at the top of the article on Conversion therapy? How else would anyone know the article is about queer issues? Is there another symbol that is as widely recognized and that includes all our many splintered facets? At what point do we stop asking ourselves all these questions and just go have a mint julep on the verandah and stop caring? [edit] Harvey Milk and Jim Jones For the love of all that is holy, no Kool Aid jokes. However, an editor involved in pioneering San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk's article has included a section about the late supervisor's support of Jim Jones and the People's Temple. While it may be accurate, there is a Request for Comment regarding how much emphasis the section places on Milk's support in light of his overall political influence on the city, and indeed the rest of the United States. Milk's article is a sad one in more ways than one. It lacks the detail and heart that honors its subject. Anyone want to do a barter with me? I'll bring Harvey Milk to featured status (give me a month or two so I can read stuff), if you do something of equal value to WP:LGBT?? Make me an offer... [edit] Queer Studies is offensive! The established branch of study known as Queer studies was brought up as an category for deletion because an editor was offended by the use of "queer" in the title. It was overwhelmingly rejected mostly by the usernames I see here on our Wikiproject page. (A clue that I know you are out there, hiding...biding your time...) So, I wish I could congratulate you, but now I'm all confused by my sympathy for the editor who was offended. So, if you're reading this, Moni has a short memory and can't remember your username. Don't be put off by our demonstrative pushiness. Join us. We can always use involved editors. [edit] Lambda Literary Awards What can you do to help the project out? Be a wiki-fairy, on many levels. There are all kinds of articles that need help. Why, just this morning I removed those ugly wikify and cleanup tags from four articles at random. If you can put [[ ]] around stuff, you can clean up articles. There's a list of articles that need attention at the top of the WP:LGBT talk page. Or you can start with the Lambda Literary Awards, where the goddess of my altar received a pioneering award, and was "reduced to rubble" by Katherine V. Forrest's wonderful speech. The 20th ceremony of the Lambda Literary Awards, which celebrates LGBT literature, took place in West Hollywood on May 29th [2]. The page needs to be updated with the new winners, to be found on the official website [3]. [edit] Yeshayahu Leibowitz, Arthur C. Clarke and Bernard Montgomery Why on earth would someone want to delete material about homosexuality? 'Tis truly a mystery. But these embattled articles have some random evil gnomes removing information that places these folks under our queer umbrella. Help us keep an eye out for the deletions. Take a peek at the articles, familiarize yourselves with the info, and be handy with the undo function in the article history. If tempers flare, take it to the Hall monitors and let them sort it out. Best solution is to make sure your sources are immaculate. [edit] This month's Wiki stars This is what I get for opening my big fat mouth and suggesting the newsletter should be revived. Here I am writing it. So, to pat self on back (*cough*) Mulholland Dr. became a featured article in May. This is A Good Thing since it is my personal declaration that there is no such thing as lesbian porn. I don't care what Benjiboi says about the video collection at goodvibes. Instead, we have hot women who connect on a deep, personal, soul-touching level, so this film should qualify as some of the skankiest porn available for lesbians. Plus, it's completely confusing and surreal! D'you think Laura Harring would care that the article is featured? I don't think so either... (Call me, Laura!) [edit] Compulsive hoarding of templates Once I saw a harrowing episode of Animal Planet's Animal Cops where this guy had, like, 250 cats in his house and it freaked me right out. I'm drawing a parallel between 250 cats and, well...three, really, templates in articles involving LGBT issues. Can we stick to one, maybe? In the aforementioned Harvey Milk's article there's a core LGBT template, a link to the LGBT portal, and a sidebar for LGBT rights. Jiminy! You'd think we weren't the folk to set industrial grey carpeting and track lighting in vogue. An LGBT footer was designed to link to articles of interest that aren't the aforementioned core articles. What do you think, can we have either an LGBT template for core articles, a footer for LGBT articles that are high profile but not core, or an LGBT rights template? As ever, anything's up for discussion on the WP:LGBT talk page. [edit] The Violet Quill and magazines Zigzig20s suggests we create an article on The Violet Quill, as it seems such a milestone in the advancement of gay/queer literature. Members of the Quill all have pages of their own (Edmund White, Christopher Cox, Robert Ferro, Michael Grumley, Andrew Holleran, Felice Picano, and George Whitmore). We need to find more info on the Quill per se to reference the page that we create. Perhaps Google Books - and libraries? - can help. A number of magazines also need articles, perhaps most notably QW, LGNY, and Lesbian Feminist Liberation. [edit] Mom's nagging for Pride Month It's June, Pride month. Wear sunscreen, stay hydrated, get a designated driver, then go half-dressed in the streets find a girlfriend or boyfriend, or some homo who's standing there looking lonely and kiss 'em up real good. Remember, it all started 39 years ago when a bunch of drag queens just got fed the f*ck up by the cops raiding the bar and dragging them all out to the pokey again. Rock on, queens! Enjoy your celebrations. My town's is in October, and 200 people attend. I miss Denver. [edit] Fresh faces to brighten our pages Hey, I've seen you around!

We miss you, Miss Julie, as well as all the others who have graced our project and are on wiki-breaks or just got fed up with all the nuttiness and went to live their lives. Get your stupid houses built and hurry up and come back. --Moni3 (talk) 16:52, 9 June 2008 (UTC) To stop receiving this newsletter, or to receive it in a different format, please let us know here.
