Hi Switch
Some time ago, in response to the dispute we had at Trans man, I changed the lede to read: "a person who was identified as female at birth, but who feels that this is not an accurate or complete description of themselves and consequently identifies as male." I left a note to that effect on the talk page, as well as on Benji's talk page, but I have yet to hear any feedback. I'm hoping this is because everyone finds the change acceptable, and not simply because it got missed. Are you okay with the new wording? Thanks, Throwaway85 ( talk) 04:02, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:BayWindowsNewspaper.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Teen Ink cover April 07.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority 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.

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Wayne Chiang. Since you had some involvement with the Wayne Chiang redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. Prisencolin ( talk) 23:51, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
The Wikimedia LGBTQ+ User Group is holding online working days in May. As a member of WikiProject LGBT studies, editing on LGBTQ+ issues or if you identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community, come help us set goals, develop our organisation and structures, consider how to respond to issues faced by Queer editors, and plan for the next 12 months.
We will be meeting online for 3 half-days, 14–16 May at 1400–1730 UTC. While our working language is English, we are looking to accommodate users who would prefer to participate in other languages, including translation facilities.
More information, and registration details, at QW2021.-- Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group 02:57, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
