Picture of the day Roadside hawk The roadside hawk (Rupornis magnirostris) is a relatively small bird of prey in the family Accipitridae. It is found from Mexico through Central America and in most of South America east of the Andes. With the possible exception of dense rainforests, the roadside hawk is well adapted to most ecosystems in its range. It is also an urban bird, and is possibly the most common species of hawk seen in various cities throughout its range. This roadside hawk of the subspecies R. m. griseocauda was photographed feeding on a speckled racer in Orange Walk District, Belize.Photograph credit: Charles J.

How to create a new page

In the search box, type in the name of the article you wish to create. When told that the page does not exist, click the link either in red or with the question mark.

You can also type the title as the URL in your browser's link field and get there directly – e.g.: 

http://en.wikipedia.org/Article_name

Perhaps the easiest way to start a new article is to follow a link to a page that does not exist yet. Depending on your settings, these links may show up as red links or have a question mark at the end of the link (red links?).

Note: The ability to create articles directly in mainspace is restricted to autoconfirmed users, though non-confirmed users and non-registered users can submit a proposed article through the Articles for Creation process, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication.

Living Memory LGBT History Timeline from Trans perspective

A possible resource. Transgender Aging Network has launched a project - Living Memory LGBT History Timeline to assist with aging LGBT folks "It is impossible to tell without asking someone precisely which public events shaped their lives, but knowing what was likely reported in newspapers and discussed at dinner parties during a person’s lifetime may help you understand how their worldview was shaped. To offer insight into the concerns, lifestyles, and belief sets of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people who are now 50 and older, the Transgender Aging Network has constructed the following timeline showing how old they would have been when there were critical events or changes in the lives of LGBT people." Starting with the 1920s the events list can be cross-referenced with current GLBT timelines and used as a possible stepping stone to aid Trans projects and awareness.

Feminists for Life potential material

http://www.aboutabortions.com/ quotes to be sourced and used for Feminists for Life article

Jane Roberts, the wife of John Roberts, was a volunteer member of Feminists for Life's board of directors from 1995 to 1999. She has provided legal assistance to the pro-life group and been recognized as a contributor who donated from $1,000 to $2,500. She has written for a newsletter for a pro-life group called 's newsletter, including an article about adoption. Roberts and her husband have adopted two children. Source: Richard A. Serrano, Los Angeles Times Jul 21, 2005

Recognizing that 20 percent of all abortions are performed on college students, Foster launched Feminists for Life's College Outreach Program to provide practical resources for pregnant and parenting students and keeps up a grueling schedule traveling to campuses, where she's remarkably successful in changing students' minds about abortion. Planned Parenthood called Feminists for Life's "Question Abortion" campaign "the newest and most challenging concept in anti-choice student organizing."

Foster sharply criticizes colleges for providing abortions but no other services for pregnant students. "What kind of a choice is that?" she asks. She challenges abortion supporters and pro-lifers to work together to provide real alternatives to women facing crisis pregnancies.

Patricia Heaton, who played Raymond's wife on the hit series Everybody Loves Raymond, is a Feminists for Life celebrity spokesman who loves Foster. She explains that "opponents think group is strong and powerful, because Serrin is strong and powerful. She's the embodiment of what we feel about women. To think that the only thing a woman can do with a child is abort is demeaning to women and undermines everything that the women's movement has been working on since the suffragettes."

Under the banner "Women Deserve Better," Heaton appears in one of Feminists for Life's print ad campaigns that reads: "Every 38 seconds in America a woman lays her body down, feeling forced to choose abortion out of a lack of practical resources and emotional support. Abortion is a reflection that society has failed women. There is a better way."

'It's Not About Me'

By Dan Ewald | Christian Reader Magazine

"She is brazen in her decision to be pro-life in an unabashedly pro-choice town. Patricia is the honorary chairperson of Feminists for Life, a non-religious group that attempts to bring feminism back to its original meaning, which, she says, was about making the world a place where women and children can feel safe and protected and become whom they are to the fullest extent. Since most of her peers connect pro-lifers to a brand of Christian extremism, Patricia appreciates Feminists for Life's method." In my community in Hollywood, FFL is a way to approach the question of feminism and pro-life thinking in a way that people can hear it and don't have a preconceived idea."

Need to find refs of criticism from within LGBT community. Benjiboi

verbiage

James Martin, S.J. the U.S. entertainment industry is of "two minds" about the Catholic Church. He argues that,

On the one hand, film and television producers seem to find Catholicism irresistible. There are a number of reasons for this. First, more than any other Christian denomination, the Catholic Church is supremely visual, and therefore attractive to producers and directors concerned with the visual image. Vestments, monstrances, statues, crucifixes - to say nothing of the symbols of the sacraments - are all things that more "word oriented" Christian denominations have foregone. The Catholic Church, therefore, lends itself perfectly to the visual media of film and television. You can be sure that any movie about the Second Coming or Satan or demonic possession or, for that matter, any sort of irruption of the transcendent into everyday life, will choose the Catholic Church as its venue.Benjiboi

Gays and YouTube

“ The biggest breakthrough came when gay folks volunteered in droves to help organize and register people for the CNN/YouTube debate held last July at the Citadel in Charleston. "I bet 75% of the people who were manning (the registration) process were members of the community," says Warren Redman-Gress, the current executive director of AFFA. ”
Benjiboi
“ November's CNN/YouTube Republican debate drew 4.5 million viewers, making it the top-rated debate in cable history. ”
“ 'We live in a society where there are virtually no repercussions,' said Ms. Min of Us Weekly. The repeat offenders who most often populate our gossip, she said, know full well they can 'get arrested one day, walk a red carpet the next, and still have as many photographers shouting their names and wanting their pictures.'

Still, some celebrity journalists believe that while the explosion of instantaneous news media outlets has made these personalities more accountable for their transgressions, the offenses themselves haven’t necessarily grown more offensive over time.

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)

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 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 . --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)

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.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...

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. Misplaced Pages 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: Misplaced Pages: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)
