| Quite true; the longer Elizabeth reigns? the shorter Charles will reign (and William). ] (]) 18:18, 5 June 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :Yes. Based on her mother, Elizabeth will probably be around another 15 years or so. At which point Charles is in his late 70's. Part of me hopes that he will find some way to simply not acceded to the throne (as opposed to abdication), so that Wills can come to the throne at a reasonable age and have a good long reign--that length has been one of E's great strengths.

| __NOTOC__ | |||
| Hello, members and friends of WP:LGBT! I'm not one to be writing newsletters, but I miss our cruise director, ], and our project is drifting along with a few leaking plugs in the bottom of the boat. Hey, it happens. Every group we join goes through changes. If Misplaced Pages weren't so interesting it wouldn't also be so frustrating sometimes. And vice versa. More than one Wikiproject has ]s blowing through it, but this is one that can't afford to let that happen. Even if you pop in to the ] of the project, you can let us know you're still around. | |||
| {{clear}} | |||

| | valign="top" | | |||
| === WP:LGBT's Role in HIV / AIDS articles === | |||
| It wouldn't be a proper gay community without a li'l bit o' drama! That's right. If we aren't arguing about something, then we should be asking if we're still queer. Maybe that's for the best, since we know we're still kicking. Our most recent topic is how far the role of our project should go in dipping our toes into HIV/AIDS articles. The main ] article was delisted as a ] last month, sadly. (Sending a swift kick to ].) A spirited discussion is available for your entertainment on the ] about just how much of HIV and AIDS should we take on. As ever, we'll take your opinions under advisement. We're going to have to, because it doesn't seem to have been settled. | |||
| === Is Pride POV? === | |||
| We have a pretty cool sidebar that identifies core LGBT articles. Its symbol is the iconic ], much like other Wikiprojects have iconic symbols denoting the topic is a core subject in a series of articles. However, a question recently arose asking if the symbol itself is ]. Should a pride flag show up at the top of the article on ]? How else would anyone know the article is about queer issues? Is there another symbol that is as widely recognized and that includes all our many splintered facets? At what point do we stop asking ourselves all these questions and just go have a ] on the verandah and stop caring? | |||
| === ] and ]=== | |||
| For the love of all that is holy, no ] jokes. However, an editor involved in pioneering ] Supervisor ]'s article has included a section about the late supervisor's support of ] and the ]. While it may be accurate, there is a ] regarding how much emphasis the section places on Milk's support in light of his overall political influence on the city, and indeed the rest of the United States. Milk's article is a sad one in more ways than one. It lacks the detail and heart that honors its subject. Anyone want to do a barter with me? I'll bring Harvey Milk to featured status (give me a month or two so I can read stuff), if you do something of equal value to WP:LGBT?? Make me an offer... | |||
| ===Queer Studies is offensive! === | |||
| The established branch of study known as ] was brought up as an ] because an editor was offended by the use of "queer" in the title. It was overwhelmingly rejected mostly by the usernames I see here on our Wikiproject page. (A clue that I know you are out there, hiding...biding your time...) So, I wish I could congratulate you, but now I'm all confused by my sympathy for the editor who was offended. So, if you're reading this, Moni has a short memory and can't remember your username. Don't be put off by our demonstrative pushiness. Join us. We can always use involved editors. | |||
| ===]=== | |||
| What can you do to help the project out? Be a wiki-], on many levels. There are all kinds of articles that need help. Why, just this morning I removed those ugly wikify and cleanup tags from four articles at random. If you can put <nowiki>]</nowiki> around stuff, you can clean up articles. There's a list of articles that need attention at the top of the ]. Or you can start with the ], where the ] received a pioneering award, and was "reduced to rubble" by ]'s wonderful speech. The 20th ceremony of the ], which celebrates LGBT literature, took place in West Hollywood on May 29th . The page needs to be updated with the new winners, to be found on the official website . | |||
| | valign="top" | | |||
| === ], ] and ] === | |||
| Why on earth would someone want to delete material about homosexuality? 'Tis truly a mystery. But these embattled articles have some random evil gnomes removing information that places these folks under our queer umbrella. Help us keep an eye out for the deletions. Take a peek at the articles, familiarize yourselves with the info, and be handy with the undo function in the article history. If tempers flare, take it to the ] and let them sort it out. Best solution is to make sure your sources are immaculate. | |||
| ===This month's Wiki stars=== | |||
| This is what I get for opening my big fat mouth and suggesting the newsletter should be revived. Here I am writing it. So, to pat self on back (*cough*) ] became a featured article in May. This is ] since it is my personal declaration that there is no such thing as ]. I don't care what ] says about the video collection at goodvibes. Instead, we have hot women who connect on a deep, personal, soul-touching level, so this film should qualify as some of the skankiest porn available for lesbians. Plus, it's completely confusing and surreal! D'you think ] would care that the article is featured? I don't think so either... (Call me, Laura!) | |||
| ===Compulsive hoarding of templates === | |||
| Once I saw a harrowing episode of ]'s ] where this guy had, like, 250 cats in his house and it freaked me right out. I'm drawing a parallel between 250 cats and, well...three, really, templates in articles involving LGBT issues. Can we stick to one, maybe? In the aforementioned Harvey Milk's article there's a core LGBT template, a link to the LGBT portal, and a sidebar for LGBT rights. Jiminy! You'd think we weren't the folk to set industrial grey carpeting and ] in vogue. An LGBT footer was designed to link to articles of interest that aren't the aforementioned core articles. What do you think, can we have either an LGBT template for core articles, a footer for LGBT articles that are high profile but not core, or an LGBT rights template? As ever, anything's up for discussion on the WP:LGBT talk page. | |||
| ===] and magazines=== | |||
| ] suggests we create an article on ], as it seems such a milestone in the advancement of gay/queer literature. Members of the Quill all have pages of their own (], ], ], ], ], ], and ]). We need to find more info on the Quill per se to reference the page that we create. Perhaps Google Books - and libraries? - can help. | |||
| A number of magazines also need articles, perhaps most notably '']'', '']'', and '']''. | |||
| === Mom's nagging for Pride Month === | |||
| It's June, Pride month. Wear ], stay hydrated, get a ], then go half-dressed in the streets find a girlfriend or boyfriend, or some homo who's standing there looking lonely and kiss 'em up real good. Remember, it all started 39 years ago when a bunch of ]s just got fed the f*ck up by the ] and dragging them all out to the pokey ''again''. Rock on, queens! Enjoy your celebrations. My town's is in October, and 200 people attend. I miss ] | |||
| === Fresh faces to brighten our pages === | |||
| Hey, I've seen you around! Sorry there seem to be so many—it's been a while. But we welcome you all: ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ] , ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], and ]. | |||

| If I can give my honest opinion, the OC that the Queen wears is displayed in the infobox at a higher resolution. Sure, it might not be of the same rank, but does show the bow element. Plus, looking from a copyright point of view, we can easily say "The Queen is the sovereign of the Order" without having to display an image to that effect that is under fair use (and on shaky ground). I honestly believe we should remove the image of the Queen from the article. The focus of the article should be on the Order, not who happens to be leading it. ] <small><sup>]</sup></small> 21:52, 15 June 2008 (UTC) | |||
