Thanks for both conducting the interview and posting it to the article. Yes, I just moved the template to the article section whose content seems most closely related to what's covered in the interview. Best, Dan.—] 00:18, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

== Anthony Gair ==

Dear David,

The page Anthony Gair was tagged for deletion because it looked like an advertising.

The LGBT studies project has been rather quiet of late. Though we've added over 180 new members in the last year, only a small percentage are active participants. If you haven't visited our project or talk page in a while, please stop by for a look. Also, if you happen to bump into another editor who you feel might enjoy working with us, please extend an invitation. There's lot's do do, and the active members would sincerely appreciate some help.

Welcome to the 11 new members that joined us in September: ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], and ]!

;]
Our Peer review project is struggling at the present, with only a few people reviewing the articles. While it is certainly possible to submit articles for a general peer review, a review by members of the LGBT community can be of additional value for LGBT specific writing. There are several articles currently up for review on a wide range of topics. At the very least, reading the articles will undoubtedly broaden your intellectual horizons :-)

;]
At the moment, ], ] and ] are up for deletion review. Please take a look at them and make your voice heard at the deletion review. Articles nominated for deletion also present a challenge for improvement. See what you can do, and watchlist our deletion review page.

;FA & GA article news
Since our last newsletter, ] and ] have been promoted to ]. Congratulations to all editors who have worked so hard to improve them! While ] was promoted to ] on ], ], we have had no articles reach ] status since ] was promoted last March. In fact, one article of our Project was delisted: ]. Please take a look at out listed articles and see if you'd like to try to take one to Featured status (there are almost 8,000 to choose from). Additionally, ] has been nominated for Featured status. Please read the article and give feedback at the ]. (See also ].)

;Pederasty article controversy
The ] articles continue to be a point of controversy both within and outside of our community. Various editors have suggested that to include them as LGBT Project related somehow taints the project and brings Misplaced Pages into disrepute. Other editors have stated that the articles, and especially the Pederasty article, are part of the core of LGBT studies. Well meaning editors continue to remove our tags from the articles themselves as well as the talk pages. If you have time, please read the articles and watchlist them to protect them from vandalism and well meaning but counterproductive edits.

;]
The list of LGBT people has survived its 4th nomination for deletion. Please watchlist this list to protect it from vandalism and unsourced additions. There are many in Misplaced Pages who would like to see this Featured status list removed from the project. It is up to us to keep it to such a high caliber that it never is removed.

;]
Our project member David Shankbone is now working as a journalist for ], as well as continuing to improve our project and Misplaced Pages as a whole with his photographs. A sincere thank you goes out to him for all of his hard work. Misplaced Pages would not shine nearly as brightly without your contributions, David.

;]
]
The surviving life partner of prominent LGBT rights activist Barbara Gittings recently called one of our editors and, among other things, complimented us on what a great job our project is doing on Misplaced Pages. Thanks to everyone who contributes to this project, either through their article edits or support for other project members. We really are making an difference here!

;Member assistance
Some of our project members have been having difficulties related to editing on the encyclopedia. If you are feeling frustrated or distressed by your editing experience, please don't keep it to yourself. Misplaced Pages is a collaborative effort, and we are all here to help one another. Drop a line on our talkpage or on another editor's page, and other members of the LGBT project will happily give you the support you want and need.

Lastly, ] is just around the corner. More than most holidays, Halloween is a holiday embraced by and tailor made to our community (though God only knows why we are invisible in the Halloween article here. Perhaps somebody would like to rectify that editing oversight). Have fun, everybody, and remember to both trick '''''and''''' treat!

Otherwise, I am asking you politely to drop it. ] 17:40, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
:::Frankly, ATren, I haven't brought it up enough. Almost every edit you have made in the last few months has to do with a case that, in the end, has nothing to do with you. THF was a problematic editor, he was disliked by most people he came into contact with, he pushed an agenda on this site, and I went overboard in my pursuit of him. That, in a nutshell, is the case and I don't care if you disagree with that synopsis or not. But at every turn, you are commenting on every thing a person writes. You go to their talk pages and continue to carry on with silly theories, challenging them to explain their actions, and the posts at ArbCom you write are the same things over and over again. You have threatened to open COI cases against an arbitrator (Raul654) and me for my Wikinews work. Have you noticed you are the only one doing this? No. Well, go have a look. You are the main contributor to those pages now. Most of us have stepped back to work on other things. Not you. This is the *only* thing you are doing on Misplaced Pages. Perhaps your problem is you having trouble letting go of things, and perhaps that is the problem you have with ]. Nobody--nobody--cares what the genesis of the issue is; a year later you are still writing a blog about him, you still advertise that off-wiki harrassment of him, and you aren't ''letting go'', just like you aren't letting go in an ArbCom case that has ''nothing'' to do with you. Whatever your problem is with Avidor, you are the one perpetuating it on your User page; you are the one who continues to monitor him. And at ArbCom, you are the one who can't seem to let any post go unanswered, including the ones that don't require comment or aren't addressed to you. What is it about yourself that keeps you unable to ''let go''?

:::So if you are going to involve yourself in an ArbCom case, and if that is going to be the ''only'' thing you do on Misplaced Pages for months (which it is) then you should expect your own behavior is going to be an issue. Especially since it makes you something of a hypocrite in this case. ''Let it go''. --<font color="#0000C0">David</font> ''']''' 17:59, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
::::Regarding Avidor and me: as I've said, you seem to have a problem with my behavior in that dispute, so ''raise it in the appropriate forums'', that's all I ask. Heck, take it to arbitration if you like. But it is inappropriate for you to continue raising it in this case, because this case has ''absolutely nothing to do'' with that conflict.
::::Regarding this case: resign yourself to this fact: ''I am involved.'' If you are waiting for me to let it go, you will be waiting a long time, because I ''never'' give up on anything once I've started. If you view this as a character flaw, fine, but that's who I am and as long as I'm not acting abusively, there's nothing wrong with what I'm doing - even if that's the only thing I happen to be doing lately on Wiki. Point me to the policy where it says an editor cannot focus on one thing for an extended period of time. ] 18:16, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
:::::I don't care that you're involved because your arguments aren't really listened to because of your wild vehemence. It's just kind of sad; I feel bad for you. The case looks on its way to dismissal, but your behavior is as much a part of the case as anything else, since the case is examining what constitutes harassment, and you harass ] both ''on'' wiki and ''off''. --<font color="#0000C0">David</font> ''']''' 18:22, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

== Photo of Alice Sebold? ==

''Message also left at your Commons talk page'':

David,

I don't know how busy you are lately, but I was wondering if you could be over at the Union Square Barnes & Noble tomorrow night to get a photo of ] (she's doing a , in support of her new novel '']''. If you can't I'll understand, but it would mean a lot to me — last year the deletion of the fair-use image of her that I had uploaded (the book cover photo from her past two books that I've always liked, the one in shadow) was my rude awakening to the new replaceable fair-use policy, and if I was able to play some part in arranging for a free replacement (particularly one by a good photographer), I would feel some vindication.

Feel free to reply on my Commons talk page; I'm here often enough now. ] 01:25, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

It qualifies for speedy deletion as it does not provide references showing and indication of importance/significance. See the CSD A7 criteria. Many other articles on this topic are just as bad. -- ] 21:49, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

** Sourced articles? Which ones are you referring too? -- ] 22:10, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

*** Interviews with non-reliable sources don't establish notability. I can't find wikipedia guidelines supporting the the process you're advocating. Why not let the admin who reviews the csd nominations decided on their notability, instead of removing the templates? Why are you telling me what I like and don't like? -- ] 22:17, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

**** CSD are very clear about the requirements. I'll give you that there's a weak argument for Peter H. Gilmore's notability there is, at least, . You can recreate articles after they've been deleted or petition for them to be undeleted. I don't feel like I've done anything wrong, and I'm sorry that you disagree with me. The articles I nominated didn't established their notability. According to CSD, if they don't, they should be nixed. You're jumping to a lot of conclusions about my motives, and you're interfering with the process of how CSD works. Either way, I don't think this is a productive conversation, and it seems like we're just repeating things we've said before. If you can approach the topic with a cooler head later, I won't mind discussing it with you. -- ] 22:34, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

***** No, ] said "some," and used the Peter H. Gilmore article as an example. And it's only now that you're sticking up for all them -- that's a pointless fight, because some of those articles are really hopeless, and one you'll lose if you keep it up. Your wikilawyering doesn't intimidate me. I can read, I know what the guidelines say, you can tell me I'm wrong and lecture me as much as you want to, but it doesn't change the truth. -- ] 22:51, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

****** Again with the telling me what I think and what I don't. Can you speculate about what I think on your own time, and stop spewing it all over my talk page? You're wasting my time. -- ] 23:00, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

THF agreed to have his comments monitored by me and Newyorkbrad. I don't wikistalk people without their consent, and I don't bring in disputes unrelated to the matter at hand. And it was no less than three times, including one outside of ArbCom As ArbCom's unwillingness to examine the behavior of other problematic users has shown, this is not a free-for-all bitch-about-editors forum.

I shouldn't have assumed you would try to help, but I hoped you would. I shouldn't have grandstanded, but I did because you had called me a hypocrite. It was nonetheless a mistake, and I'm sorry.
::::I sifted and found nothing, so I'll assume that you would have condemned him now. Thanks. ] '']'' 04:57, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

==It's time to present your evidence==
Since you seem to be an expert on my dispute with Avidor, and since you have insisted on raising the issue in every discussion, it's time for you to start presenting evidence. I'm sure you've researched this extensively right? And you have a large collection of diffs to support your case, right? You wouldn't pursue me so relentlessly without some evidence, would you David?

So please, present your case. I've begun presenting mine on Ossified's talk page and on the arbcom talk page. It's time for you to respond with diffs that justify your relentless pursuit of this issue. If you can't produce those diffs, then this has been nothing short of harassment. ] 03:18, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
==ANI==
ATren hasn't informed you of this, so I will. He ], saying you're harassing him. I think it is the other way around, actually, and have said so on the ANI page. ] 04:47, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

== Is that really all it was? ==

So after so many weeks of you harassing me about that conflict, are you now saying that all you wanted me to do was remove ''one line'' from the bottom of my user page? Is that one line the only reason you ''pestered'' me for so many weeks? Why didn't you just come to me directly with your concern? Why did you feel the need to spend weeks parading around vague accusations against me? Do you have an answer for this David? ] 05:47, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
