Welcome!
 Hi, Welland R, welcome to WikiProject LGBT Studies! We are a growing community of Misplaced Pages editors dedicated to identifying, categorizing, and improving articles of interest to the LGBT community. Some points that may be helpful:
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! |
Wow, I was checking out that course At Yale just yesterday. It looks fantastic. Hey, would you mind sticking up our poster around the place? http://wplgbt.tripod.com/Wikipedianeedsyou.doc (you have to directly cut and paste the url, or it won't let you download it). Also, do you know of any LGBT history textbooks? I'm drawing a blank through Google. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 08:42, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Many thanks for your welcome! I have just downloaded the poster and will happily place it around campus. As far as a book to use as a textbook, I would suggest, for its encompassing nature, Queer Cultures, edited by Deborah Carlin and Jennifer DiGrazia (Prentice Hall, 2003). Or else, A Desired Past: A Short History of Same-Sex Love in America, by Leila J. Rupp (U of Chicago, 2002); Making Gay History: The Half Century Fight for Lesbian and Gay Equal Rights, by Eric Marcus (Harper, 2002). These could certainly serve as core texts for a LGBTQ course. Welland R 12:38, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Excellent, I shall try to track copies of those down! I'm interested in creating a Wikibook on LGBT history, but wanted a little precedent to work from. :) Most textbooks on Wikibooks, regrettably, are nowhere near the standard I would want to pitch to an educator.

Ooh, if you put up the poster anywhere, can you take a medium range photo of it on a noticeboard (so you can see it's on a noticeboard, but also make out the "Misplaced Pages needs you" words)? It would make a great publicity photo for some stuff I'm planning. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 23:30, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Douglas
Hello Welland R, Thanks for changing the text in the Alfred Douglas page. I hesitate to do so myself because I'm not a native English speaker. Obviously your idea of the inhabitants of Poet Land is a vast multitude of minor poets with a few major ones sticking out, whereas I think there's a mass of poets, a few major ones and a few minor poets like the one who was a fag of Byron, dined with him and 'inherited some of his master's poetical talent'. 'Minor poet' in the case of Douglas by the way was a correction a half year ago of 'obscure poet'. Soczyczi 11:10, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Day books
A while ago you contributed a reference about Walt Whitman's relationships with street boys, from his day books. Can you steer me to a good source for these day books? On line? Has anyone analyzed them from a queer perspective, not to say a pederastic one? Regards, Haiduc 02:47, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Most of the relevant portions of Whitman's daybooks have been extracted in Charley Shively (ed.), Calamus Lovers: Walt Whitman's Working-Class Camerados (San Francisco: Gay Sunshine Press, 1987); Charley Shively (ed.) Drum Beats: Walt Whitman's Civil War Boy Lovers (San Francisco: Gay Sunshine Press, 1989). For more scholarly purposes, you would want to quote from the authoritative edition: Walt Whitman, Daybooks and Notebooks, ed. by William White (New York: New York University Press, 1978). Welland R 11:51, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Non-political
Thank you for your attention to keeping politics out of gender discussions. I would be interested in your opinion on the goings-on at Category:Pederasty. Haiduc 11:27, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
