Sorry I didn't notice your edits there before, but if something involves specific colors, then it would appear to belong more on the LGBT symbols article than on the Gender symbol article... AnonMoos (talk) 17:59, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Category:LGBT academics, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Nymf talk to me 19:22, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

la manif pour tous

[edit]

Whatever are your opinions about this law or it supporters and its opponents, a fact is that there was both supporters and opponents. Everybody knows which organisations supported this law, but it is not out of interest to know which organisation(s) was against.

There are articles in Le Monde about «la manif pour tous».

This is why this paragraph should be added:

Opposition is promoted by lamanifpourtous.fr a web site promoted by Virginie Tellenne alias Frigide Barjot, the humorist leading of the lamanifpourtous social movement. This website is the main reseller for all derived products labeled "La Manif Pour Tous" including flags and clothes. Thoses products can be bought in theboutique at boutique.lamanifpourtous.fr . — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.100.0.236 (talk) 11:15, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The promotion of the website is unnecessary. Also, the anti-marriage/adoption organizations are well-mentioned in the article already, including Operation VITA and Manif Pour Tous. --RayneVanDunem (talk) 17:36, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:LGBT in Japan

[edit]

Yaoi has nothing to do with LGBT. Yaoi is culture of the heterosexuals. It is inappropriate to write in Template:LGBT in Japan.--182.171.36.243 (talk) 14:57, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How so? Please clarify. It displays homosexuality and same-sex relationships, which falls under LGBT. The characteristics of the audience which consumes it doesn't sound relevant. --RayneVanDunem (talk) 22:19, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
ヤオイ(Yaoi)は1970年代の日本で、異性愛女性に生み出されたものです。ja:森鴎外の娘のja:森茉莉が、書いたのが一番最初ですが。基本的にヤオイは異性愛者の文化です。ゲイ男性の多くはヤオイは読みません。
Yaoi was produced in Japan of the 1970s by a heterosexually oriented woman. It is Mori Mari first to have written. Yaoi is culture of the heterosexuals. Most of gay men do not read Yaoi. It has nothing to do with the culture of LGBT.--182.171.36.243 (talk) 10:24, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
And PFLAG was set up in the US by a heterosexual woman; Still has pretty much a lot to do with LGBT people (worldwide). Yaoi, similarly, may not (disputably) have as big an audience among gay males as it does among heterosexual people in Japan, but it depicts gay men and gay relationships, period. That's a historical media precedent of LGBT portrayal in Japanese culture, just like yuri, bara and other genres. Plus, I dispute your assertion because you have no current proof that yaoi is mostly culturally heterosexual, or that it mostly reflects heterosexual sensibilities, or that most gay men in Japan don't read it (has that even been surveyed/polled?). Please provide. --RayneVanDunem (talk) 16:39, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of 19th Grand National Assembly of Turkey

[edit]

The article 19th Grand National Assembly of Turkey has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced, unable to verify any claims here

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of 46th NAACP Image Awards, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.naacpimageawards.net/nominees/.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 46th NAACP Image Awards, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages The View and House of Cards. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Vickers VC10

[edit]

Dear, your recent addition to Vickers VC10, was, to say the least, less than universally approved. As an at least reasonably experienced contributor, you ought to know that references are required, yet you offered none. On top of that, there were reserves about the relevance of your information. I tried my best to defend your work but you really should offer some reference, or withdraw your addition. Jan olieslagers (talk) 17:23, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know why you're chastising me over that sentence (since that info was already mentioned in the linked article on the poet), but a simple request for a reference would suffice. --RayneVanDunem (talk) 17:37, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it has been removed again and they managed to utterly demotivate me so it is up to yourself if you really want it back there - good luck! But I did not mean to chastise you, not by a long way - I was merely trying to help. No use, obviously, with neither party. Bye bye! Jan olieslagers (talk) 19:19, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Sharon E. Watkins requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

A tag has been placed on Template:AlabamaLargestCities, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion".

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Thank you for creating the template for Mayors of San Antonio, Texas. What a tremendous amount of work went into it. A few comments.

  • Texas was never called "Colonial Texas". I'm not sure where you got the dates for that one, but Template:Texas History is a good guideline for you.
  • It would be appropriate to wikilink French Texas, Spanish Texas, Mexican Texas and Republic of Texas on the template.
  • I found it a bit confusing that you repeated named in the template if they served more than one term as mayor. As a rule, you only need to have their name there once in the template for any subgroup, even if the multiple terms were non consecutive. That cuts down on the confusion, and an editor wanting to create an article has a whole lot less to look through.

Again, thanks for creating the template. — Maile (talk) 20:28, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merging/redirecting

[edit]

I redirected the article to Islam in India,[1] and it was reverted by you without providing a reason. Can you tell why? Capitals00 (talk) 11:24, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Too much information to merge back into Islam in India. Also, distinctive information and references on the sects' manifestations in India which may not be reflected or presented with clarity in a general article. I'd rather not have an extremely long article on Islam in India if it can be afforded. --RayneVanDunem (talk) 01:41, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, RVD! I caught your African-Americans in New York City piece in the new pages queue. Excellent work, please do keep it up!
