Not sure what your criteria are for "famous" glbt people, but with over 1,000,000 readers of my books, and columns in various magazines and newspapers and journals, I'm told I have fairly high name recognition at least in some circles. You make me feel that my efforts are a vanity-plea, when my goal is to join the list of reasonably well known bisexuals because I think it is important for folks to be out in a very visible way. I will certainly bow to the wishes of the Wiki community, but you seem particularly intent on removing my entries, and I wondered why. Feel free to write to jliberty@ActonEquality.org for private correspondence, if you prefer. - Jesse Liberty
- Heya, first of all, Welcome to Wikipedia, good to have you on board, hope you stick around. Please don't consider my votes on deletion a personal attack, none is intended. While you do indeed have a fairly large body of published work I'm not sure this counts as notable considering it's in a reasonably narrow topic on which a lot has been written (I work in computing too, and I'm afraid I'd never heard of you before. Pleased to make your aquaintance anyway *grin*). But it is pretty close to a borderline case, so we'll see the rest of the community says, the vote page will stay up for a while. Have you had a look at Wikipedia:Auto-biography by the way? It seems relevant. Also, a few suggestions (which are by no means compulsory but they do make life a lot easier):
- Sign your comments with --~~~~ (which will put a link to your User page instead of the page about you. Even if the page about you stays, you want to direct people to the page about your wikipedia identity in signatures).
- Generally, new comments are added to the bottom of a talk page.
- Keep discussion on talk pages instead of via private email: the whole openness thing is part of the culture for a lot of things.
- Wikipedia:Wikiquette (not implying you've violated any of these but it's always a good read to get a feel of the place)
