Saying Hi

Hi there! I read your comment on the LGBT project page, and I just wanted to say welcome and I am sorry you feel excluded. If you ever need any help on Wiki, please feel free to call upon me. If I can do anything--even if it's just giving you support--I will be happy to do so. Jeffpw 11:44, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I second this. Also, I am going to create a separate Bisexual infobox, different to the generic LGBT one; would you mind creating a Transgender one if you can? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 06:07, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
I've created the bisexual infobox. We now have Template:LGBT, and Template:Bi - do you want to create a transgendered infobox, or do you want me to do, or shall we not have one? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 10:43, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
I'll be quite happy to create it, but I probably won't get to it until around xmas/new year. My life in the real world will slow down a little when I take holidays. :) --AliceJMarkham 02:31, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Ok. Take as long as you want. We can use the LGBT one until then. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 10:26, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Well, it happened quicker than expected. I also noticed (but couldn't figure out how to fix) that the {{Bi}} 'edit' link takes you to a 'create page' for the template 'Bisexual'. --AliceJMarkham 01:30, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
...It doesn't, so far as I am aware. I've just tried it and it works fine. How strange. Good job on the template though, we have a full set now. :) Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 10:39, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
I just tried it again and it's broken for me. I'm talking about the little edit link in the bottom right corner of the template itself, not the edit this page button at the top. --AliceJMarkham 21:51, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Ah, right. I've fixed it now. It was linking to Template:Bisexual, and not Bi. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 21:57, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Australian Cleavage

Hi. Slang terms are rarely globally used. We could delete all slang, but that would make for a much dryer WP. I could find a reference for Australian Cleavage but there are more important things I should be doing. As a compromise, I moved neathage to the first term. H Bruthzoo 19:18, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

WP:LGBT comes around...

LGBT Template

Hi Alice! I see that you've added the LGBT template to the Hair removal article's talk page. Please feel empowered to include an article rating too in the template if you like (or not if you don't). You can find more information about rating articles at Wikipedia:WikiProject_LGBT_studies/Assessment. Thanks! --Tiger MarcROAR! 03:13, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Hi. Thanks for that. If you've read my user page, you'll realise that with effort and time, you could be as weird as I am. :) --AliceJMarkham 21:36, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Oh honey - wander around mine for a minute...:)NinaOdell | Talk 21:55, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • LOL. I did wander around your user page, subpages and linked articles before I responded. I'm still quite confident that I'm weirder. I'm resisting the temptation to add an external link to my user page - there are photos that show more than the ones in hip and buttock padding. :)
Nuh uh. I'm a freak for real. I'm Bipolar, Biracial, Bisexual, and fall right down the middle of that four-box masculine-feminine test. I was born on Beltaine, my boyfriend has more tats than most people can imagine, my (long distance) "girlfriend" is pierced and tatted.
Speaking of hip and buttock padding(or not, who knows), the article on Calpernia Addams could use some work. Specifically, she's in the film industry now. It could use section headings too. Really, the text needs to be re-organized.:)NinaOdell | Talk 15:35, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Biographical articles aren't really my speciality but I'll see what I can do. --AliceJMarkham 06:35, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Happy King Day

Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe that you must become its soul. - Coretta Scott King

From Commons. NinaOdell | Talk 13:13, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
  • I have no idea what it means (is is american?), but thanks. :) --AliceJMarkham 06:35, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
January 15 was Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States. It became a Federal Holiday back in the early nineties, I believe. This year, Dr. King's wife died (back in January of 2006), so I decided to highlight quotations from her instead of Dr. King.
It's a very important holiday to me. I was fairly unhappy that I had to work that day, though I love my job. The fact that it's a Federal holiday at all is momentous. I remember there were debates on it - Arizona refused to recognize it at the time. Now that Coretta Scott King has passed, I simply call it King day.
I'll try to do some clean up of Calpernia Addams soon. She is a remarkable woman. If you ever have a chance, get the DVD of Soldier's Girl and listen to her commentary. She's a courageous, insightful, and interesting person to know about (plus the movie is so romantic - Troy Garity is a dreamboat!). NinaOdell | Talk 13:58, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
PS: Is it wrong to have a major crush on Eddie Izzard? I think he's hot hot hot...NinaOdell | Talk 15:40, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
If that's your inclination, I don't see anything wrong with it. :) Personally, I don't find males (including my own alter-ego) attractive. --AliceJMarkham 02:28, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
I have several inclinations. Men are hot. Men in skirts with makeup are even hotter. That's not a come-on, just stating an opinion (see, I told you I'm weirder than you!:) ).
I've done a fairly massive copyedit on Calpernia Addams, and I'll do more to clean up the English a bit. I hope she sees it someday and likes her article. Check it out sometime and let me know what you think. Cheers and cherry blossoms, NinaOdell | Talk 14:31, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Your help needed

Hey, Alice, we're having a discussion on categories at Portal:LGBT/Categories, and Ganymeade says that the term "Transgender" should not be used as a noun. I have no knowledge of Transgender argot, so it would be good if you could weigh in on this. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 13:07, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Cross-dresser

Not really sure why you took that pic I added as offensive. Could you please explain? That link didn't add anything. As I usually do I found a pic while browsing thought it might add something to the article and added it. AGF btw. Quadzilla99 08:10, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

  • genderfuck, as illustrated in the photograph that you added to the article on cross-dressing, is where a person deliberately mixes both masculine and feminine to present a deliberately contradictory image. In this particular image, the main masculine gender cue is the hairy arm placed conspicuously centrally to the image to emphasise (probably not consciously) the fact that the subject isn't really female. The visible beard shadow and the fact that the edge of the wig is clearly discernable across the forehead also make the image of poor quality for the illustration of that article. --AliceJMarkham 09:22, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
If you feel that way I'm not going to fight you, I'm not very familiar with the whole midset surrounding this. It's a man dressed up as woman, that's a cross-dresser AFAIK. I think you might be displaying a little POV in only wanting an ideal image up there though. Regardless there was no bad faith intended. Quadzilla99 09:32, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Project News
  • The LGBT Portal has once again been revamped and a work rota started. Efforts towards Featured Portal status are slowly coming together.
  • The assessment system has been a great success, we have tagged over 4000 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.
  • The Translation department has changed its focus, to LGBT articles about non-English topics and people on which there may be more information on the relevant foreign Wikipedia. Please add your name if you are fluent in any language other than English.
  • Jumpaclass is picking up slowly, with nine people having entered. With over 2000 stubs we need to improve our article quality. Please sign up and get it going! Challenge another user to see how far you can jump a stub!
  • There is an ongoing discussion about the current LGBT categorisation system here, here, and a little bit here. A special page has now been set up here to deal with this.
  • A Watchlist has been set up to monitor controversial and/or highly vandalised articles. It can also be used for article disputes, just add a note explaining the nature of the dispute.
  • With the influx of so many active members, there is now enough support for a LGBT studies peer review, which may be found here. It's in the beta phase at the moment, so bear with us if we make any mistakes. Feel free to peer review any articles you have been working on.
  • It was agreed this month to start reducing the uses of the Notice board, as many members felt that it was not effective. An open tasks template has been created, bringing together important announcements, FAC/FARs, Peer reviews, XfDs, the COTM, and requested articles. You may desire to watchlist it. A Deletion sorting subpage is also now working to bring together XfDs - this should be bot-driven, but we have not currently tagged enough articles to make this fully automated, so please update the list with any LGBT-related XfDs you come across.

kindly consider it as discussion before wikipedia:deletion review --> User_talk:Whstchy#Deletion_review_of_Human_body_shape. thanks. Racky pt 07:01, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

You had once told wide hips of females is for child bearing in one of your contributions but that is wrong. Instead that is for childbirth see here: Human_skeleton#Gender_differences. Wide hips is to allow foetus' head to come out, this is exclusive to humans as humans have proportionately bigger head, see here: Hip_(anatomy)#Sexual_dimorphism_in_humans. thanks. 202.41.72.100 03:58, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Racky pt?

Hi

I'm just a step ahead of you at the moment. I noticed Human body shape when looking at Racky pt and yes, it's the same editor(s). If you look up the anon IP editors they all track back to the same place in India, and their edits never overlap. So it's probably sockpuppetry or just possible a couple of meatpuppets (although I doubt it).

I'm AfDing Human body shape right now. It is fundamentally the same article as near as I can remember, thinly disguised with some very poor references.

andy 14:38, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree with you, he's building up to being a nuisance again. I raised this issue with the closing admin on the socksupect debate Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets/Vinay412 but nothing has happened. I think it would be appropriate for you to contact Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington (talk · contribs) who blocked Vinay412. AFAIK 202.41.72.100 is only used by Vinay412 - the edits are only his kind of stuff and it only seems to be used when the other sockpuppets are off the air. He claims it's a shared IP but nobody else seems to be using it.

It's now been deleted as WP:CSD#A7, as you'd marked it as such and I reviewed. However, you didn't use the {{nn-warn}} template to warn the original author that it's been tagged for speedy.

As someone who was the object of a persistent troll, I hope you will reconsider leaving WP. You're really a big asset to the project, and you have most likely helped many people looking for information on gender issues by keeping those pages updated and accurate, which is a very noble public service to those who have questions and issues in that area.

Welcome back. Please note that i was not blocked for disruption, and also that none of my contribution constitutes Wikipedia:disruption. I was blocked as sockpuppet of some unconnected blocked user, which i proved wrong with sufficient evidences and proper unblock procedures. Please assume good faith in other editors, we all here to help project. Thanks. Lara_bran 06:57, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
LOL. How short do you think people's memories are, Vinay?
Your original 1-week ban was for disruption. You then got it extended to 2 weeks for sock puppetry, then got the 2-week start time reset for further sock puppetry. That's all on your original account's talk page.
You were evading that block yet again using your Lara bran account when you were incorrectly mis-identified as being a sockpuppet of User:Kuntan and your original account (User:Vinay412) and other known sock puppets were indef banned.
Subtract the mistaken connection with Kuntan and you were still in trouble for disruptive editing in the first place. Add in the rudeness present in your original account's talk page, edit summaries for Shemale, behaviour in Talk:Shemale, etc. and I believe that you're extremely lucky to have had the block lifted at all. It's more a case that the reason given for the block was wrong than that the block was unjustified.
I would suggest that you will need to behave yourself impeccably in the future because, with a history like that, any admin who looks at your history when dealing with a future complaint is likely to re-block you for a long time if not indefinately.
I sincerely hope that you have learned from all of this and that you will be civil in the future, and assume good faith from others. --AliceJMarkham 12:24, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
My first block was expired long back, also that block was without single warning on a new user, that was harsh. Later i never been disruptive. Regarding article shemale, i oppose undue weightage/mislead to transgender issues in wikipedia, thats all. There is dispute resolution process including RfC etc. for content disputes of such kind. Here it is mentioned that "second account can be used for anonymity", and i avoided real name for anonymity, and you please avoid my real name in talk pages, thanks in advance. Lara_bran 03:58, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
You misunderstand the meaning of the above statement about using a 2nd account. The 2nd account is intended for when you are editing in a completely separate part of wikipedia. For example, I know of a couple of people who have one account for editing in the LGBT area and another account for other areas that they are interested in. The two accounts never edit in the same area, never take part in the same AfDs, etc. If they did, it wouldn't be within the rules. In contrast, you have repeatedly emphasised that your other account is related to your real name, such as in this edit summary. I don't need to mention your other account name for others to know your name. Your edit summaries emphasising it are permanently available to anyone who cares. It's public knowledge and not covered by the rules about having a 2nd account for privacy reasons. If you wanted to dissociate yourself from your real name, you would need to create a new account and edit an entirely different set of subjects. --AliceJMarkham 08:21, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
That account you are referring [3] is blocked indefinitely, how can that edit same article which current account edits. Also hardly anobody would visit that profile since that stopped editing articles. Sock tag is to seperate myself from kuntan, which again may lead to unnecessary complications. Im concerned about privacy in shared ip, thats all. Thanks. Lara_bran 08:41, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

StopStop!. This is your last warning, if you continue harassing as you did in Talk:Shemale, necessary steps will be taken. I have already warned you once and this is the last warning. Please use username in wikipedia. Thanks. Lara_bran 08:49, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

I was referring to this edit [4] . thanks. Lara_bran 05:25, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

image size

Regarding your this edit [5]. I saw you saying that often that it is deprecated, i could saw policy but that is not mentioned in WP:XIMG. Registered users constitute very less percentage of readers of wikipedia, most are anonymous users. Could you point me where exactly your point of "deprecated use of static pixels". I think other way is better, we can define pixel size depending on article's structure. Thanks. Lara_bran 03:38, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Quoting directly from WP:XIMG: "From meta:MediaWiki 1.5 the default thumbnail width can be set in the preferences, so it is recommended not to specify "px", in order to respect the users' preferences (unless, for a special reason, a specific size is required regardless of preferences, or a size is specified outside the range of widths 120–300px that can be set in the preferences)." --AliceJMarkham 07:25, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, i had cntr+f'd for deprecated, this would be more specific. But i still feel registered users are minority, lemme give a try for policy change. Nice day. Lara_bran 07:54, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
As it turns out, it's already in the images section of the Manual of Style. I'll refer to there in my edit summaries in the future. Thanks for prompting me to go looking. --AliceJMarkham 08:38, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, but spare lead section images as mentioned there. Bye. Lara_bran 09:31, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm just sorry you had to put up with such rubbish for so long. Jeff, I know you're reading this, let's keep the gloating to a bare minimum though, eh? Neil ☎

Well, even if Jeff is gloating, I'm not. I'm just waiting for the arrival of the next sockpuppet. Based on Vinay's history, I expect that he has at least one more account already created and waiting. It's just a matter of identifying it when he starts editing something that he has disrupted before...
On a related note, should the user:Vinay412 account be changed to say that it was blocked indefinitely for sockpuppetry and all the puppet accounts changed to say that they are indef blocked socks of Vinay412 instead of Lara bran? --AliceJMarkham 10:14, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Talk about an assumption of bad faith, Neil. Am I happy that awful, disruptive sock is no longer harassing Alice off of the project, and bothering other hard-working editors who are trying to improve this project? You bet your ass I am. Am I gloating? Not in the least. That awful sock isn't worth the time it would take me to gloat. I', just glad we at the LGBT project can work in semi-peace again....and I hope the next reincarnation of this sock (and mark my words, there will be another one) will be dealt with more quickly than the admins here dealt with this one, and the many others before it.

Yes, Andre Douzet is still alive.Wfgh66 (talk) 11:59, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

You wouldn't know it from the article, and that's precisely the point that I was making. :) Either the article needs to be rapidly brought up to scratch or it needs to be deleted, as the consensus currently appears to be heading towards. If someone wants to prove notability, provide refs, etc, they can always start again in the future. --AliceJMarkham (talk) 12:05, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

cleavage article

A see also template to breast implants and Tissue expansion might make sense. Even though the focus of the article is for temp purposes we could direct those interested to other articles for that info. Benjiboi 23:35, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

I am inclined to agree with the idea of adding a link to Breast implants, but tissue expansion, with the exception of foreskin restoration, is about inserting an inflatable device under the skin and gradually stretching the skin.
Looking at what Lotusqueen (talk · contribs) has been adding, it looks about on par with enlarging a penis using a penis pump (that article also contains unreferenced statements) or using herbal pills or creams to try to increase bust size. There are no reliable sources cited to show that it is anything more. I also note that adding this to articles is all that the user has done, making me suspicious that it may be spam and quite possibly a WP:COI issue. --AliceJMarkham (talk) 01:40, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
I'll leave it with you. Penis pump - ewww, I learned something. Benjiboi 01:52, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
LOL. Yep. Remember that wikipedia is not censored. There's some gross stuff in here. :)
I've added breast implants to the external links of cleavage enhancement and I'm still thinking on how to slot a reference to it into the text. I've added a {{fact}} tag to tissue expansion and explained why in its talk page. Now it's a case of wait and see. :) --AliceJMarkham (talk) 02:19, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Essay

Thanks for the copyedits on the essay, much obliged. Any comments on the content, or can I assume this is tactic endorsement of my genius? I'll also take silence on this page as a tactic endorsement of my genius. I've low standards. WLU (talk) 01:08, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. The only concern that I have about your essay is that many newbies simply won't read that long an article. After all, you know what the attention span of a child is like, right? :) --AliceJMarkham (talk) 04:31, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
That's an excellent point. I may try breaking it into several shorter articles which don't have to be read all at once. Thanks for the feedback. WLU 19:08, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Buttock augmentation

I want to no how that has anything to do with Queers. I mean some strait people do it.New4325 22:06, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Gee, the article seems pretty clear to me. Perhaps you should reread it. And may I ask how you are using the term "queer"? It can seem like an offensive attack to someone who doesn't know you. Jeffpw 22:37, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
I do think the addition is a bit odd, as the procedure is fairly rare even among non-transgendered people. It's frowned by a lot of medical prefessionals who administer HRT, as the buttocks changes shape quite often after SRS. This can lead to an overly large or misshapen derriere. But some people have had this augmentation done, so it's relevant to the article. Glamrockboy (talk) 12:36, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

The edits [6] and [7] are enough, in my opinion. POV-pushing is one thing, but repeated personal attacks pushing that POV are another. Tonywalton  | Talk 00:09, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Happy Holidays

You got a Christmas card! → → →

thank you

Thank you for having me updated about that. Yes, I've been less active recently due to my graduation from college as well as the block of wikipedia by Chinese government which brings me great trouble accessing wiki. I'd like to join the project, but not sure if i can keep as active as i used to be. Again, thanks for your invitation and have a very happy new year. ^^ --User:Yacht (talk) 16:52, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Happy new year to you, too. :) You're welcome to join even if you aren't editing very often. I am also not currently editing as often or as much as I have at other times. --AliceJMarkham (talk) 00:26, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Auto-archiving talk pages?

Hi AliceJMarkham, happy holidaze and ho ho ho and all that! Wasn't there some page you and I disagreed about auto-archiving? I think I have a possible solution. Benjiboi 00:32, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Happy wotzit, etc. :) I don't remember exactly which article it was. I tend to like the idea of archiving talk pages when they get unwieldy due to excessive number of old sections, but I'm lazy so I prefer automated archiving. :)
I feel your pain! If we we figure out which one it is I think we could utilize the {{resolved}} template and use an auto-archiving of any thread with that on it. It would still take a bit of work but could help clean off the unique items that editors often drop onto talk pages for various reasons. Benjiboi 11:15, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
That's the auto archiving used on AN/I, isn't it? Makes a lot of sense. I'd say that that would be a good idea on a lot of more active article talk pages. --AliceJMarkham (talk) 05:56, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
As far as I can tell ANI has there's set for a short time span. Benjiboi 21:48, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
If it's resolved, it could be archived fairly quickly. In the case of a talk page, I'd still probably still leave that at say 30 days so that people can get a chance to see it before it's archived. What I meant by the comment about AN/I is that I was asking if that was the criteria used to select sections for archiving. "Only archive if tagged resolved." --AliceJMarkham (talk) 00:01, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Email

Hey, I got your email, but it had been inexplicably moved to my trash folder - must have been mixed in with a lot of deeply moving stuff about interest rates. :) Will look into it now. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 11:30, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much. --AliceJMarkham (talk) 00:01, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
