Event listing

Hello, thanks for creating this event listing! I hope this event goes well. Just a recommendation - when you create an event like this, it's best to add it to the calendar template. This allows people to find and track it, and also will likely increase the likelihood of remote support from experienced contributors who can correct mistakes on pages created and give feedback to new contributors. Hope this is helpful to you, let me know if any thoughts or questions. Blythwood (talk) 13:50, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Blythwood, how are you doing? Could you tell me how to create a calendar template for April, May, June, and July 2017? I have a Wikipedia event in April and one in July. Thanks!

RachelWex 14:20, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

  • Hi - I'm afraid it's a bit clunky for starting a new month, but when you've got the event pages created and specific firm dates, I'd go here for April and here for July and copy the code out of here. Or put a message on my talk page if you're still stuck. Blythwood (talk) 21:33, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Categories

Hello, please ensure that when you add an article to a category, that category is supported in the article text with statements with citations to reliable sources. For example, you added

Sammy Haggar to Category:Jewish heavy metal musicians. There is no sourced statement in the article indicating he is Jewish, so this in an incorrect use of categories. Please let me know if you have any questions. --Spike Wilbury (talk) 17:25, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply

No edit wars

I completely disagree with you on the Gin Blossoms article. Every band has fill in people from time to time. This guy played in a grand total of three shows. Three! That's the definition of trivial in my book.Bob Caldwell CSL (talk) 15:24, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Further clarification: An encyclopedia is never exhaustive. You are trying to be exhaustive. The musician you named is not well-known enough to even have a wikipedia entry. Again, I think it's a waste of space on trivia.Bob Caldwell CSL (talk) 16:34, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia articles, unlike encyclopedia articles, grow as their history grows. There is no harm in adding those people who performed for a band even if it was for a short time. We are going to keep it. Sorry that we will agree to disagree; I think the Gin Blossoms would be OK with the additions. Bob Caldwell CSL.

Hi, it was nice to meet you. I looked through your edits and think you might be interested in contributing to Portal:Minnesota. If nothing else to suggest biographies. Hope to see you again.

Wikiloveslove on Wikipedia with a gender gap focus

Hi RachelWex, I wanted to let you know that this year we are adding a wikipedian and gender gap contest to the Wiki Loves Love contest on Commons. I hope our project will participate, the idea is to add content related to ceremonies, festival and testimonies of love on Wikipedia. We have set up a list of articles to work on which also tackle themes of gay weddings (also the laws relating to it), and alternatives like free union, polyamor, bride buring, children marriages, bride abduction. You can have a look here (we have placed the project on Meta to allow multilanguage participation). You can participate as a project or as individual contributors. The main project page is here : Wiki Loves Love on wikipedia 2019. I hope that you will participate! Nattes à chat (talk) 17:48, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

proposed deletion template on
Folx (term)

Hi Rachel, I saw someone added a proposed deletion template to

Folx (term). I'm tempted to remove it, since their justification is "I don't believe this article really belongs here" and not citing policy. Thoughts? I also raise into the discussion this edit and the one prior. I feel like this discussion has been brought up before; the only resolution had been that "move to Wiktionary" template (it's on Wiktionary
, albeit the article here provides much more context & references).

Re: Wikipedia@20

I was pleasantly surprised to see myself mentioned here! Thanks for your submission and for helping to document LGBT+ work within the Wikimedia movement. One very minor thing, my user name is "Another Believer" (not "AnotherBeliever"). Only pointing out because I believe the writings are currently being reviewed, so that's one minor change to consider. Otherwise, I'll take another look at your submission and some of the others, and I look forward to your continued work in this area. ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:38, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Storme Webber

Hi RachelWex! Thanks for starting the article on Storme Webber. I nominated it for DYK. See here for the nomination. I wasn't sure if there's a better hook to use. Feel free to add one. I'll watch the page for suggestions from reviewers, but I would welcome you to do the same, if you have time. = paul2520 (talk) 05:41, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Storme Webber

On 26 December 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Storme Webber, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that two-spirit artist Storme Webber has used various media to retell her family's experience at The Casino, one of the oldest gay bars on the West Coast? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Storme Webber. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Storme Webber), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Question From a Journalist

Hi Rachel,

I'm a trans journalist reporting on a story for Gizmodo. It's about Wikipedia talk pages and misgendering of historical trans folks such as Cam Lyman and Gloria Hemingway. Would you be interested in doing a short interview with me? If so, please let me know: my email is [email protected] or I can be reached through my website at henrygiardina.com.

Thanks for your time,

Henry

The Wikimedia LGBTQ+ User Group is holding online working days in May. As a member of WikiProject LGBT studies, editing on LGBTQ+ issues or if you identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community, come help us set goals, develop our organisation and structures, consider how to respond to issues faced by Queer editors, and plan for the next 12 months.

We will be meeting online for 3 half-days, 14–16 May at 1400–1730 UTC. While our working language is English, we are looking to accommodate users who would prefer to participate in other languages, including translation facilities.

Women in Red 8th Anniversary

Women in Red 8th Anniversary
In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap!
