I like the Press page we have for this, though see it has not been updated in some time. Does anybody know if there were Press stories that could be added for the recent years and were just missed, or was there really no press at all? --- FULBERT ( talk) 17:30, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

I've tagged Erica Rutherford, an article about a transgender woman, for tone. I left a message for its creator, too: it was created as part of WiR, by a regular of the project. This is because it uses male pronouns throughout, as well as language generally seen as transphobic (e.g. "Eric decided to have transsexual surgery"). It's pretty bad.

For example, Women in Red, Art+Feminism, WikiGap, Wiki Loves Women, and #VisibleWikiWomen work to strengthen coverage by and about women on Wikimedia projects, often with an emphasis on women who are Black, Indigenous, or people of color. Groups such as Black Lunch Table and AfroCrowd focus on adding knowledge about Black history and people of African descent to our projects. Wiki Loves Pride is a global campaign to expand and improve LGBTQI+ content online.

To mark the beginning of WLP22, I created a couple of images celebrating LGBT+ representation in Wikimedia’s original characters! Dronebogus ( talk) 13:49, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
In 2019 the results page gave credit to contributors as seen at Wikipedia:Wiki_Loves_Pride/2019/Results#Articles.
The past two years there has been no credit, as in the list at Wikipedia:Wiki_Loves_Pride/2021#Articles.
I am not sure that listing user's names next to article titles is the best course of action, but I would like to credit contributors. Is there a good way to do this? Also does having one's name listed on this page attract trouble...? I get mean anti-gay comments sometimes for wiki activities but I am not sure this project is the reason. Bluerasberry (talk) 17:01, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
Wikipedia already had an article for the ant Strumigenys ayersthey. "Ayers they" referred to Jeremy Ayers, whose article did not yet exist, and who was an artist and activist who used they pronouns.
Someone did inappropriate editing to erase sources, name, and story as I noted at meta Wikimedia LGBT+. Those edits came to be a challenge to make things better. Credit could go to the person who flagged the change, people who discussed it, and other people who contributed. I will name and credit 28bytes now because this user actually researched and wrote tthe Ayers biography, and because that user has experience taking care of themselves in wiki when there is trouble around.
I wanted to share this as an early story of progress for Wiki Loves Pride 2022. Bluerasberry (talk) 17:15, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
This is used on the main page and, er, I have never seen a pride flag with a dog paw on it before and, you know, I am open-minded but I think I would rather not know why it is in the mix of pride flags for the gif and ask that someone who can edit the gif remove it. Ping @ Another Believer: as an active user who might be able to. Kingsif ( talk) 19:00, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
@ Another Believer noticed this deletion thanks to your edit of the page. Regardless of the socking affecting the prior, she's deserving of an article so I kick started a stub. Can someone who is better with Talk pages and categories give it a little love? Thanks! Star Mississippi 14:18, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
Created Draft:Aditya Tiwari which is awaiting approval, please help approve/improve this topic. Plushwiki21 ( talk) 22:13, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
Last call for improvements to Cherry Valentine ahead of Good article nomination.
Or, any watchers interested in reviewing? Thanks! --- Another Believer ( Talk) 18:30, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
As a community we have limited resources to develop articles. Wikipedia is multilingual, and when there are important articles, we translate them across languages. How do we prioritize?
Check this out - technology, a concept, and community organizing infrastructure:
Pick ~99 articles, then prioritize them for translation and development. Wiki Loves Pride is a major inspiration for this. Bluerasberry (talk) 18:52, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
There's an open AfD that might be of interest to editors watching this page. (Why isn't there an LGBTQ+ delsort?) Star Mississippi 15:32, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
@ UtherSRG: @ Star Mississippi: The closest one is the 'sexuality and gender' delsort but that covers a wide spectrum. Did you want me to create a more specific LGBTQ+ one? Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 08:23, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
I have created an template to invite editors to the campaign, located at Template:Wiki Loves Pride invite. Please have a look at it & suggest any changes here. Peaceray ( talk) 16:48, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
Anyone familiar with book articles? Was surprised this didn't exist so got it started . There's extensive sourcing, unfortunately much is interviews with Burton. Thanks either way! Star Mississippi 02:42, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
