:Oh, sorry. I wasn't trying to be mean, and I wouldn't consider myself an "adult." It's just that on Wikipedia, a lot of people slowly start taking over what the person does, stalks them and eventually they can find them or impersonate them.

__NOTOC__

Hello, members and friends of WP:LGBT! I'm not one to be writing newsletters, but I miss our cruise director, [[User:Jeffpw|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 [[tumbleweed]]s 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.

=== 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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine|WP:Medicine]].) A spirited discussion is available for your entertainment on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBT studies|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.

* ''What?'' '''[[Wikipedia:Wiki Loves Pride 2015|Wiki Loves Pride]]''', a campaign to document and photograph '''[[LGBT]] culture and history''', including pride events

=== Is Pride POV? ===

* ''When?'' '''June 2015'''

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 [[WP:POV|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?

* ''How can you help?''

*: 1.) Create or improve LGBT-related articles and showcase the results of your work '''[[Wikipedia:Wiki Loves Pride 2015/Results|here]]'''

*: 2.) Upload photographs or other media related to LGBT culture and history, including pride events, and add images to relevant Wikipedia articles; feel free to create a subpage with a gallery of your images (see [[Wikipedia:Wiki_Loves_Pride_2014#Photography|examples from last year]])

*: 3.) Contribute to an LGBT-related task force at another Wikimedia project ('''[[:wikidata:Wikidata:WikiProject LGBT|Wikidata]]''', '''[[:commons:Commons:LGBT Free Media Collective|Wikimedia Commons]]''', '''[[:wikivoyage: Wikivoyage:LGBT Expedition|Wikivoyage]]''', [[:meta: Wikimedia LGBT/Interwiki|etc]].)

Or, view or update the current list of '''[[Wikipedia:Wiki Loves Pride/Tasks|Tasks]]'''. This campaign is supported by the '''[[:meta:Wikimedia LGBT/Portal|Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group]]''', an officially recognized affiliate of the [[Wikimedia Foundation]]. Visit the group's page at Meta-Wiki for more information, or follow '''[https://www.facebook.com/WikimediaLGBT Wikimedia LGBT+ on Facebook]'''. Remember, Wiki Loves Pride is about creating and improving LGBT-related content at Wikimedia projects, and content should have a [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]]. One does ''not'' need to identify as LGBT or any other gender or sexual minority to participate. This campaign is about adding accurate, reliable information to Wikipedia, plain and simple, and all are welcome!

=== [[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 [[WP:RfC|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...

If you have any questions, please [[Wikipedia talk:Wiki Loves Pride 2015|leave a message on the campaign's main talk page]].

===Queer Studies is offensive! ===

The established branch of study known as [[Queer studies]] was brought up as an [[Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2008_May_19#Category:Queer_studies|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.

===[[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 <nowiki>[[ ]]</nowiki> around stuff, you can clean up articles. There's a list of articles that need attention at the top of the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBT studies|WP:LGBT talk page]]. Or you can start with the [[Lambda Literary Awards]], where the [[Ann Bannon|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 [http://www.advocate.com/exclusive_detail_ektid55079.asp]. The page needs to be updated with the new winners, to be found on the official website [http://www.lambdaliterary.org/awards/current_winners-2007.html].

Thanks, and happy editing!

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 [[WP:ANI|Hall monitors]] and let them sort it out. Best solution is to make sure your sources are immaculate.

===This month's Wiki stars=Loves Pride 2016 ==

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 Drive (film)|''Mulholland Dr.'']] became a featured article in May. This is [[Martha Stewart|A Good Thing]] since it is my personal declaration that there is no such thing as [[red link|lesbian porn]]. I don't care what [[User:Benjiboi|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!)

As a participant of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies|WikiProject LGBT studies]], you are invited to participate in the third annual '''[[Wikipedia:Wiki Loves Pride 2016|Wiki Loves Pride]]''' campaign, which runs through the month of June. The purpose of the campaign is to create and improve content related to [[LGBT]] culture and history. How can you help?

===Compulsive hoarding of templates ===

:# Create or improve LGBT-related Wikipedia pages and showcase the results of your work '''[[Wikipedia:Wiki Loves Pride 2016/Results|here]]'''

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.

:# Document local LGBT culture and history by taking pictures at pride events and uploading your images to Wikimedia Commons

:# Contribute to an LGBT-related task force at another Wikimedia project ('''[[:wikidata:Wikidata:WikiProject LGBT|Wikidata]]''', '''[[:commons:Commons:LGBT Free Media Collective|Wikimedia Commons]]''', '''[[:wikivoyage: Wikivoyage:LGBT Expedition|Wikivoyage]]''', [[:meta: Wikimedia LGBT/Interwiki|etc]].)

Looking for topics? The '''[[Wikipedia:Wiki Loves Pride/Tasks|Tasks]]''' page, which you are welcome to update, offers some ideas and wanted articles.

===[[The Violet Quill]] and magazines===

[[User:Zigzig20s|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 (writer)|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.

This campaign is supported by the '''[[:meta:Wikimedia LGBT/Portal|Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group]]''', an officially recognized affiliate of the [[Wikimedia Foundation]]. The group's mission is to develop LGBT-related content across all Wikimedia projects, in all languages. Visit the affiliate's page at Meta-Wiki for more information, or follow '''[https://www.facebook.com/WikimediaLGBT Wikimedia LGBT+ on Facebook]'''. Remember, Wiki Loves Pride is about creating and improving LGBT-related content at Wikimedia projects, and content should have a [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]].

This campaign is about adding accurate, reliable information to Wikipedia, plain and simple, and all are welcome! If you have any questions, please [[Wikipedia talk:Wiki Loves Pride 2016|leave a message on the campaign's talk page]].

A number of magazines also need articles, perhaps most notably ''[[QW (gay magazine)|QW]]'', ''[[LGNY]]'', and ''[[Lesbian Feminist Liberation]]''.

=== 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 queen]]s just got fed the f*ck up by the [[Stonewall Riots|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, Colorado|Denver.]]

=== Fresh faces to brighten our pages ===

Hey, I've seen you around! Sorry there seem to be so many—it's been a while. But we welcome you all: [[User:Cheezisyum21|Cheezisyum21]], [[User:Taineyah|Taineyah]], [[User:Dustihowe|Dustihowe]], [[User:Avesta69|Avesta69]], [[User:RachelSummers77|RachelSummers77]], [[User:Vivekgopinathan|Vivekgopinathan]], [[User:AMK1211|AMK1211]], [[User:Staffwaterboy|Staffwaterboy]] , [[User:Ted Ted|Ted Ted]], [[User:Joe5150|Joe5150]], [[User:Leahtwosaints|Leahtwosaints]], [[User:Robapalooza|Robapalooza]], [[User:Arthomure|Arthomure]], [[User:Confusionball|Confusionball]], [[User:Affinity likely|Affinity likely]], [[User:PrinceOfCanada|PrinceOfCanada]], [[User:Yobmod|Yobmod]], [[User:Npd2983|Npd2983]], [[User:Neagley|Neagley]], [[User:Bvlax2005|Bvlax2005]], [[User:Bvlax2005|Bvlax2005]], [[User:Rhullsf|Rhullsf]], [[User:Textorus|Textorus]], [[User:Kieran.casey|Kieran.casey]], [[User:Tyciol|Tyciol]], [[User:Meojive|Meojive]], [[User:Sappho'd|Sappho'd]], [[User:Bookkeeperoftheoccult|Bookkeeperoftheoccult]], [[User:Gaywarrior|Gaywarrior]], [[User:Aujourd'hui, maman est morte|Aujourd'hui, maman est morte]], and [[User:Balin42632003|Balin42632003]].

It looks like we've picked up a lot of talent lately. We have no doubt you'll be making your indelible mark on LGBT knowledge as we know it, here at Wikipedia.
