Welcome to WikiProject LGBT studies!

Hi, Knorpel, welcome to WikiProject LGBT Studies!

We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying, categorizing, and improving articles of interest to the LGBT community. Some points that may be helpful:

  • Our main aim is to help improve LGBT-related articles, so if someone asks for help with an article, please try your hardest to help them if you are able.
  • Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
  • The project has several ongoing and developing activities, such as article quality assessment, peer review and a project-wide article collaboration, all of which you are welcome to take part in. We also have a unique program to improve our lower quality articles, Jumpaclass, so please consider signing up there.
  • If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to our translation section, to help us improve our foreign LGBT topics.
  • If you're planning to stay, have a square in our quilt! You can put anything you want in it.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you.

And once again - Welcome!

Heya, noticed you live in Slovenia. Can you speak Slovenian? Oh and we have an LGBT WikiProject on the Spanish wiki, just in case you're interested. :) Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 09:51, 12 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Translation

edit

Hi, I saw your name at the LGBT project translation department. I need help translating a Spanish essay (well, a draft of one, about writing your first FA) into English, so we can bring it to our project here. Would you be willing to help translating it? :-) Cheers Raystorm (¿Sí?) 15:07, 24 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Well, the idea would be to translate it into English. Are you fluent in English? :-) Raystorm (¿Sí?) 16:01, 24 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Great! It's not urgent, but it'd be nice to have it ready, I don't know, before August. ;-) As soon as humanly possible, I guess. I'm from Madrid, how about you? Raystorm (¿Sí?) 16:41, 24 June 2007 (UTC) I've seen you've joined the spanish project hehe, welcome! ;-)Reply

Greetings. I found your info on the LGBT translator's list. Please look at Hirschfeld Eddy Foundation if you have time. The article is up for deletion but I believe their website, written in German, has press releases or material that helps demonstrate notability. Benjiboi 19:09, 24 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Wiki Loves Pride 2014

edit

Hi Knorpel. In case you are not aware, there is an upcoming campaign to improve coverage of LGBT-related topics on Wikipedia, culminating with an international edit-a-thon on June 21. See Wiki Loves Pride 2014 for more information. If you are interested, you might consider creating a page for a major city (or cities!) near you, with a list of LGBT-related articles that need to be created or improved. This would be a tremendous help to Wikipedia and coverage of LGBT culture and history. Thanks for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions! --Another Believer (Talk) 16:02, 9 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

You are invited to participate in Wiki Loves Pride!

  • What? Wiki Loves Pride, a campaign to document and photograph LGBT culture and history, including pride events
  • When? June 2015
  • How can you help?
    1.) Create or improve LGBT-related articles and showcase the results of your work here
    2.) Upload photographs or other media related to LGBT culture and history, including pride events, and add images to relevant Wikipedia articles; feel free to create a subpage with a gallery of your images (see examples from last year)
    3.) Contribute to an LGBT-related task force at another Wikimedia project (Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, Wikivoyage, etc.)

Or, view or update the current list of Tasks. This campaign is supported by the Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group, an officially recognized affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation.

This campaign is about adding accurate, reliable information to Wikipedia, plain and simple, and all are welcome!

If you have any questions, please leave a message on the campaign's main talk page.
