I see you put a rescue tag on the above article, can you let me know via the afd entry log if you believe to be notable under WP:ATHLETE by placeing a keep or comment thanks. Diamonddannyboy (talk) 14:00, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not sure I've been involved with that article, at all. I'll take a look though. Benjiboi 21:43, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well, my plate is quite full at the moment but I do have suggestions. Firstly, clean it up. At least if it looks more like an article should than others can more fully see whether it is "save"-able. I would also format those references, although not required it, again, may help. I would also dial back your AfD comments to be concise and neutral - "I believe that concern is met" is more neutral than saying, for instance "you know it does!". I know very little about bare knuckle fighting but I would consider trying Google books to see if he has been mentioned there and maybe even to give a little background as to the underground or "under the radar" nature of the sport. Good luck! Benjiboi 21:50, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Jooo hooooooo
Sure has been quiet over here. Just stopped by to say hi and , "Here's lookin atchoo, kid!".
Hope you're doing well! - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 03:18, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, yes, I've been sniped at quite a bit so have trimmed my watchlist (sigh - down to 1186 right now) to avoid stress triggers. I see your anti-b***shit efforts have continued with much success as well and appreciate all the anti-vandalism work. I have such a limited capacity for it! Keep up the good work and feel free to holla if anything arises. Benjiboi 18:30, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

i have tried editing some of Heath Ledger's contents; please stop changing them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pricey28 (talk • contribs) 14:21, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, I think you'll find that many, if not most or all of any changes I would make you'd get from other editors as well. That article in particular, has been greatly improved and is watched by quite a few folks. Constructive edits are always appreciated and if your not sure you can always ask on the talk page. Some questions have already been dealt with but we are always improving articles. Benjiboi 23:25, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- Also, I've taken a break from that article but if needed can help on issues as I've been a part of the recent history. Benjiboi 01:40, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
add further reading links and see if a couple of full articles exist. Benjiboi 01:36, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
I am also a shemale.
I think the reason that you are confused is because you are not a shemale. SHMALES ARE SEPARATE SEX/GENDER AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WIT OTHERS.YOU HAVE TO BE SHEMALE TO UNDERSTAND THIS.THE NUMBER OF SHEMALES ARE VERY LOW AND THERE IS ALMOST NO ONE PROTECTING THEM.AND MOST OF THEM ARE ECONOMICALY SENSETIVE AND UNDER CULTUREL/SOCIAL DIFFICULTIAS ESSPECIALY WITHIN AMERICAN 'NEGATIVELY ABUSED FEMINIST CULTURE"BY MORE THAN HALF OF THE POPULATION.This resulted seeing many shemales in sex industry... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ezlovetewusa (talk • contribs) 02:15, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Wow. Economicaly sensetive. Culturel difficultias. The number of shemales is very low. The number of shemales that have won spelling bees is even lower. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 05:09, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- I changed the edits you made as they were unfocused and unencyclopedic. If this was your personal blog then great but it's not, it's the world's encyclopedia. You might want to post instead to the article's talk page and be a bit more clear about what should change on the article. Also this is not a soapbox so staying on point to changes to the article only would be best. If you want help just ask and others are generally happy to assist. Benjiboi 17:44, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to template the regulars, you'll be laughed at. —Angr If you've written a quality article... 18:59, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well the AfD was closed as keep and you deleted the article (Diff here) with a redirect falsely claiming that it was per AfD. I welcome constructive criticism but your actions seemed to welcome a warning even if it was a template. Benjiboi 19:01, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- No, I didn't delete the article. I simply removed the cruft and unencyclopedic material from it; even most people who voted "keep" said it should be cleaned up. You yourself wrote, "If plot-only is an issue then fix it". So I fixed it. The fact that nothing remained (since absolutely nothing in this article is salvageable) meant that a redirect to the main article was called for. —Angr If you've written a quality article... 19:15, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Personally I think that's semantics, you effectively deleted/blanked the content. I've open up a thread at Admin Noticeboard for Incidents concerning the AfD. Maybe it was prematurely/wrongly closed. Benjiboi 19:33, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

What about a picture with some one like Dave Courtney would this help for notability, I have sited the Fighter Magazine as a reference,was you suggesting righting the whole article out ? Thanks for your kind work and help .Diamonddannyboy (talk) 07:34, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- I would include it if it's free to use, that is, if you took and are giving the rights to use it. If someone is alive there is a presumption that a free picture is available. By the way once the photo is properly documented with source, license and rationale for use then we can send it to the image lab to be improved. Benjiboi 19:24, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
it's not libal if its true. Do you live in Cairns? Then how the hell do you know better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.177.99.250 (talk) 13:09, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'm only guessing you're referring to the Val Schier article as that's the only one this IP has touched but I've not had anything to do with it. You may want to check our policies on biographies on living people to see if there was good cause to remove the "true" information. Benjiboi 19:24, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Block declined
Thank you for your recent report [1] to WP:AIV. However as 170.158.38.254 (talk · contribs) has only received a level-two warning this month, I am declining to block. For future reference, AIV criteria #2 ("the vandal must ... have vandalized after sufficient recent warnings to stop") generally means that except in the most egregious cases, a level four warning is required before a block will be levied. Thanks for your help in fighting vandalism. --Kralizec! (talk) 20:27, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- I should also note that adding "and again" to the IP's talk page is not helpful as it makes the anti-vandalism bots lose track of the current warning level [2]. --Kralizec! (talk) 20:29, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for getting back to me. As to the bots losing track I think they should be better programmed then as I find it more helpful to have the page organized so the humans both users and editors dealing with potential vandals can easily see what activity has gone on rather than one long list with various headings (and some warnings with no headings). To me it seems the bots should be improved to help us not our interests compromised to help the bots. Benjiboi 20:35, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Thank you!
Keep on fighting the good fight! It is appreciated! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.126.126.252 (talk) 05:05, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Brownie Mary, Counterculture of the 1960s, Hippies
Hi. Do you think it is appropriate to add {{LGBTProject}} to Brownie Mary? I think that it is. Also, since you have an interest in this and related topics, I was wondering if you would consider reviewing Counterculture of the 1960s and adding information about the gay rights movement to that page, particularly in regards to the Stonewall riots, etc. Finally, several editors have expressed interest in seeing some of this information represented in the hippie article, however you may have access to sources that I don't, as I haven't been able to find that many substantiating the overlap, but I believe they are probably there. And, if I have my facts right, I seem to recall reading somewhere that Harvey Milk was once a hippie. Thanks. —Viriditas | Talk 21:21, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- Definitely the LGBT tag for Brownie Mary although the article should clearly spell out that she was beloved in the gay male community for her work with people with AIDS (which were overwhelmingly gay men) and later for her ongoing medical marijuana activism. I haven't looked lately but the article should rference she was arrested a few times for that.
- I'd be happy to look at Counterculture of the 1960s and hippie; there certainly was LGBT folks there and a few articles that come to mind: Compton's cafeteria riot (1966); The Cockettes (way queer hippie commune); Lonnie Frisbee (gay hippie preacher); Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (started in two communes in the Haight).
- Milk moved to SF in the early 1970s and was thought a hippie as he was a dope-smoking longhair queer. This ref might do. Benjiboi 21:54, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- You are unstoppable. Your answer jogged a memory: Gavin Arthur, aka Chester Alan Arthur III, grandson of Chester A. Arthur.[3][4][5]Have you ever heard of Gavin? It would be great if we could work him into the History of the hippie movement along with all the other information you've found, distilling the most important points into hippie. Do you recommend any other books? —Viriditas | Talk 11:58, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- For Gavin Arthur try this, and Gay by the Bay: A History of Queer Culture in the San Francisco Bay Area by By Susan Stryker, Jim Van Buskirk and Love Stories: Sex between Men before Homosexuality by Jonathan Ned Katz.
- Some general homo hippie books...
- Unto A Good Land: A History Of The American People by David Edwin Harrell, Jr.
- The World the Sixties Made: Politics and Culture in Recent America by Van Gosse, Richard R. Moser
- Culture and the Radical Conscience by Eugene Goodheart
- Before Stonewall: Activists for Gay and Lesbian Rights in Historical Context by Vern L. Bullough
- Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers: A History of Lesbian Life in Twentieth-Century America by Lillian Faderman
- The Gay and Lesbian Liberation Movement by Margaret Cruikshank
- Should keep you full for the moment! Benjiboi 13:12, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Urgent! please help me!

| I was looking at the wiki tea party and I must second Fosnez's citation of your work on Chris Crocker (internet celebrity). I used the article the other day and was stunned. Shocked. ASTONISHED, by how good it was. Many many stars to you, oh one who references articles! You made my day but I didn't know it. Thank you! Gimme danger (talk) 14:39, 21 March 2008 (UTC) |
P.S. Sorry about vandals. Please come back if you can. Wikipedia needs editors like you! (I just realized that this sounds really... gushing, but I swear it's sincere. Seeing a referenced article about a pop culture figure, one happy face. Having an article that I wanted to read be referenced: two happy faces.) --Gimme danger (talk) 14:39, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you! That was a rescue from AfD article but much like the iconic Britney Spears the material keeps coming in! I do have to thank all the vandals on that one as they have forced it to being referenced coming and going. I still have a bunch of work to do on it but it does seems to be coming along nicely. Benjiboi 20:07, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Let's collaborate (Re: Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Tlogmer subpages)
This MfD debate you and I are participating in seems to me to indicate a need for a policy that people can refer to. Would you be willing to workshop with me to develop one so that we can have a standard and avoid the weirdness currently ensuing in that discussion? ScienceApologist (talk) 17:06, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'm open. I'm no template specialist but think that would be a good start as I agree that if material is popping in google searches we should have a way to make clear that the material is not official, etc. The template, IMHO, would point to a policy page about suggestions for handling material not in mainspace (I'm sure there are quite a few bits out there already) so having one spot that helps organize the present thinking would make sense. So my suggestion would be to
1. Develop a template specific to the issue if one doesn't seem to exist and
2. Research what guidelines and policies already deal with the subject.
3. Organize it into a user-friendly page to see what still needs addressing.
Once we have sorted out a few of the more core issues a bot could possibly be employed to add the template to articles that seem to fit the criteria. Benjiboi 20:25, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
I wonder if this template would cover some of the issues or could serve as a starting point? Benjiboi 23:26, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for supporting during the discussion on Myrzakulov equations. I'm the author of this article (and not the author of these equations).

- That's stunning! If you're looking for future ideas I must suggest Nancy Sinatra, a true gay icon before we knew what they were. Banjeboi 01:46, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
- Isaac and I had to build special built-in bookcases for all our CDs, and we have an enormous music library. So Nancy it is! Any particular song?? And thanks for the compliment on the video. It was made with love, and truly represents my feelings about the United States. By the way, if you go to my YouTube channel, check out my Jeannie C. Riley videos. I Think you'll get a real kick out of them.Jeffpw (talk) 07:24, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
- Well it's it ancient camp history but everything the 1967 musical-variety special "Movin' With Nancy" was hysterical. Her singing commercials for RC Cola - with the "mad mad taste" were to die for. If I had to pick one song from there maybe "Up, Up and Away". If she wasn't medicated she sure should have been! Banjeboi 09:10, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

OMG, Benji! The actual clip from the special is on Youtube! What a day brightener!!!! My fave Nancy story: When they recorded These Boots Are Made For Walking, Lee Hazlewood said to her: "Bite the lyrics! Don't sing it like a child--remember, you're singing this for the truck drivers!!!!"' Jeffpw (talk) 10:28, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
- Lol! That whole show is a total scream, the commercials are fab - all for the RC Cola sponsor - apparently they were mainlining the stuff because they are all ON!!! There's another number with Dean Martin's "magic" walking stick but really the whole special is just too precious for words. If you need another dose have you seen the mash up of Gwen Verdon's dance with Unk's "Walk It Out"? Quite wonderful. Banjeboi 10:49, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
- Want chills? The greatest performance of the 20th century, and a perfect example of why Saint Judy is our icon. PS: The mashup was a gas! I so adore the 70s. That was the greatest period of my life. Jeffpw (talk) 13:26, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
- Genius! I once saw these two fantastic drag queens sing live Judy and Babs' duet medley but Judy herself is the be all. Rufus Wainwright did a tribute concert and it's out on CD as well as the DVD Rufus! Rufus! Rufus! Does Judy! Judy! Judy!: Live From the London Palladium. Banjeboi 13:50, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
