September 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. While everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your contributions, such as your recent edit to Unregistered cohabitation in Israel, did not appear to be constructive and was automatically reverted by DASHBot.

• Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
• DASHBot produces few false positives, but they do happen. If you believe the bot has reverted your edit wrongly, it is helpful if you report the error so the bot does not make the same mistake again. Please:

How is homosexual the incorrect term? I understand the whole LGBT naming scheme, but does Israel allow transgendered people and the like entry? Or is it just a naming dispute? Falcon8765 ^(TALK) 06:47, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

First of all, Transgendered people are allowed the like entry, but that's not really the issue. We can switch "LGBT" to "gay" if insufficient documentation is available. The real issue is: the LGBT community rarely if ever uses the term, homosexual, finding it condescending and eliciting of memories of the classification as a mental illness. The religious right has adopted the term "homosexual" as a negative term as well.

Seeking consensus on when to edit File:Samesex marriage in USA.svg following new legislation/court-rulings

Hello, I have noticed you made edits on File talk:Samesex marriage in USA.svg and/or File talk:Samesex marriage in USA.svg/Archive 5, so I am contacting you to take part in a newly-formed discussion at File talk:Samesex marriage in USA.svg as for whether we should update the map directly when a new legislation or court-order hits the books or if we should wait until said action takes effect. Historically, we have been updating the map when the new legislation is signed (or veto overrode or won at the ballot box, etc.), and thus it can be inferred that the consensus is to update as soon as one of those occurs. A discussion has emerged in regards to whether we should begin updating from the effective date instead of from the date of signing/etc. If you have an opinion over this matter please post it at File_talk:Samesex_marriage_in_USA.svg#When_to_update_map.3F_Effective_date_or_signing.2Fruling_date
