Hi, Jenova. I'm wondering what you'd think about trying a different approach here. Suppose the several of us who keep finding ourselves drawn into the discussion were to make a conscious decision to stop responding, say, for a month and give the editor in question every possibility of having an unimpeded, undistracted window of opportunity to look for the evidence we keep requesting. If a month goes by and no evidence is presented, I think we can safely label the discussion closed per consensus. Any renewed, unsupported allegations after that time could be dealt with appropriately, should that be necessary. Clearly the way we're going about things now isn't working, and this cannot be allowed to go on indefinitely. I'd like to see something approaching a happy ending for everyone involved, but my crystal ball is forecasting something else entirely the way things are developing. Obviously, my idea could be thwarted by various circumstances beyond anyone's control, such as disruption to the article itself, but I think it might be worth a try. If you agree, we can run this by the other editors who keep responding and see what they think. Rivertorch ( talk) 09:39, 25 June 2012 (UTC) (P.S. I'll be offline for the next 6–8 hours, but there's no rush. Please just consider it.)
I wonder if we can ask an administrator to look at this. I feel like we are dealing with someone who just wants to argue. I want to work on actually improving different sections but I feel it's rather pointless when this is going on. Insomesia ( talk) 16:45, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
You commented on a question about renaming articles recently and used the phrase "slave-name 'homosexuality'". I'm unclear on what that meant. Could you elaborate? -- Avanu ( talk) 17:57, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
Look at my talk page I am being accused of posting spam on Tomorrow (The Cranberries song) by posting this link and if notice all the pages we have worked on including Sparks Fly have been brought into this and it is claimed that we posted spam links. LOL! Swifty* talk 05:00, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

You appear to have made a mistake here - I reverted the edit of an IP which deleted some text, putting it back in. But you reverted me which results in the text being lost again. -- 112.134.145.118 ( talk) 13:15, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
Part of this edit [2] is copied verbatim from a copyrighted source and constitutes plagiarism. This violates WP:COPYVIO. – Lionel ( talk) 02:13, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
First you edit warred at the Love Won Out section. Then you started edit warring at the See also section. You have passed 3RR at Exodus International and if you continue you may be blocked. – Lionel ( talk) 02:52, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
Hello again. I wonder if you'd consider rephrasing or striking the "one guy" part of your recent reply there. It could be construed as unnecessarily provocative, I think. Rivertorch ( talk) 09:13, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
I think these accounts that show up on the talk page are a sign of a larger force of fear of ... <gasp> widespread homosexual acceptance. We're not here to offer therapy or correct years of misinformation from dubious sources but as you and I have been singled out it may make sense to follow the ignore the nonsense and let others offer up some guidance. If you do interact I suggest keep insisting on <gasp> actual reliable sources! Insomesia ( talk) 07:45, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
Jenova, I just wanted to let you know that although we disagree on several of the issues surrounding this article, that my disagreements with are not personal. I'm sure that as an openly gay editor here, you receive plenty of those attacks. I want to assure you that is not my goal is not to attack anyone, or to be disagreeable. Peace. —Maktesh (talk) 05:05, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
This edit [3] is a blatant violation of WP:CANVASS. In addition, you are maintaining a battleground mentality. This is not the first time you have canvassed at that project. I suggest you self-revert as a show of goodwill to the community.– Lionel ( talk) 09:08, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for contributing to Born This Way Foundation. There is a lot of content there and I think that with just a bit more the page could be reconsidered instead of merged. I think you added good information and a good source. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:52, 18 July 2012 (UTC) |
The note at the top of Born This Way Foundation said:
This article was nominated for deletion. The debate was closed on 13 July 2012 with a consensus to merge the content into the article Lady Gaga. If you find that such action has not been taken promptly, please consider assisting in the merger
That was added by an Administrator: Ultraexactzz
Bmclaughlin9 ( talk) 17:14, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
Or maybe you could work on making the Lady Gaga article less bloated, as I have a bit. I was a bit surprised no one challenged my condensing of some of it, but there's an edit war underway there now in any case. (Sigh.) The BTWF article itself was an example of bloating, IMHO.

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom ( talk), SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot ( talk) 15:23, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
Firstly I hope I've put this in the right place, its hard to gauge on a phone. Secondly I notice you cleaned up my edits to the Steve Cross article...
You gave the reasons as deleting advertising etc. Just to make you aware, i did not intend to advertise anything, I was using the text to back up the edits of him now being a commentator. ... I'm not moaning, just letting you know my intentions etc. Obviously I'm new here, and I'm still getting the hang of yhese things lol
Anyway, thank you for the clean up .
Football Crazy. ( talk) 21:08, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi there, I got your message. There are several things you can do. The first is to clean up the main page for it is a little more up-to-date, and then you can post this on everyone's wall who has signed up and hasn't got it, and that way people know that the project still exists. Maybe with a note that that says that they hadn't got it before because we've been dormant a while.
If you want to write a newsletter, SatyrTN can sort out posting it on all the membership's Talkpages, he is still around. The Wordsmith is also interested in reviving the project. The competitions were never that popular even when we were active, so there's not a lot of point in keeping it going. I think the most important thing you can do to get people paying more attention is to get them the Watch the WT:LGBT page, that when when people like yourself or the others who are posting there for help say something, everyone who's still active knows about it.
That was all I could think of now, that useful? Dev920, who misses Jeffpw. 22:23, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the consideration and I hope you'll participate in developing this exciting new project to bring more women to Wikipedia! SarahStierch ( talk) 22:56, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
File:Pikachu volkswagon beetle.jpg, whoever this user is is about to tick me off. I hate people who want to go and randomly pick picture and make excuses to delete them especially after the pics been on there for over a month. Can you say something cause all Pokémon Yellow just says "A collaboration between Volkswagen and Nintendo resulted in the creation of a yellow Volkswagen New Beetle with some features taken from Pikachu." and if you look at the picture there is more then Pikachu depicted on it and I think the guy is..I'm going to keep that to myself. ^_^ Swifty* talk 15:10, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
