Misplaced Pages

Transsexuality

Hi Andrea. Thanks for the comment! I agree with your partial revert in this case. Re. featured article, it'd be nice to see it happen and if there's anything I can do, I will. BTW - TS here also :-) - Alison aka Ali-oops 02:21, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

• I agree with the page move. Can we put up a voting request similar to the one on here and gain consensus? - Ali-oops 02:27, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Andrea. I'm the mystic IP address who contributed the TS page. I myself prefer the term "transgendered", since the issue indeed is about gender identity and not sexual issues. I am myself a M2F TS who transitioned some 10 years ago and has been in the woodwork since.. I'd rather keep my identity anonymous, hence mere IP address rather than username.

Succession Box location on the page

You may want to enter this discussion: Template_talk:Succession_box#Box_location_discussion_or_style_guide_or_policy.3F. per your remarks on Jane Fonda Doc 04:14, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Oops, I just read your message NOW. Well, the reason why I placed the succession box at the bottom of the page is for consistency. I started editing the pages beginning with the most recent winner (Reese Witherspoon) and the succession box in that article was at the bottom, which is also quite consistent with other articles (see NBA players), because it is usually grouped together with templates (see sports articles). I must admit that I'm not so certain when this is applied to film luminaries, but the main reason I edited these pages was not to move them at the bottom, but to add the film title wherein they earned the citation. So instead of reverting back to the pages before I edited them, it will be better if the succession box (with the film title) is just moved to the filmography section. Still, there has to be some consensus on whether to put the succession box at the bottom or to just placed it at some section.Joey80 06:22, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Hello! While editing some other pages, some editors pointed out that a succession box might not be appropriate in such instances as awardees (like in the Oscars). This is a winner in the next year does not necessarily succeed the winner this year (like calling this year's winner an "ex-Oscar winner"), like a head of a country or an institution. So I'm beginning to think that since a template was used to tie all the Best Picture winners, maybe a template can also be used to tie all the winners in the same category. What do you say? Of course, being a template, it means putting it at the bottom of a page, so that will not cause that much trouble.Joey80 08:21, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Lynn Conway

As per personal e-mail from Lynn Conway herself, her date of birth was not in 1937: "I was not born in 1937 and have no idea how that incorrect date got in there." Out of curiosity, where'd you get that information? DS 19:15, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Autism analogy

I was making an analogy with autism in the sense that danah boyd's essay "Autistic Social Software" does; I think that saying that people shouldn't be expected to act like an autistic person in order to contribute to Misplaced Pages isn't the same as saying that all autistic people are asocial (for a silly analogy to that: saying that bicycles shouldn't be considered as a bad transportation option because some people are disabled isn't the same as saying that all disabled people can't ride bicycles.)

Use of Triweekly

If you want to change it to "three times a week" I'll accept the change. Dispite the dual meaning of 'triweekly' I felt it sounded better and I think when most people hear triweekly they think of three times per week. I had considered writing 'three times a week' but to me it really lacks articulation and seems a bit amateur. Still, it's probably a more acurate way of stating it. I just wish there were a better way of saying it.

Children of transpeople

The entire paragraph was basically unsourced and was making broad derogratory allegations about transpeople in general. While I have no doubt that that has happened to some, the paragraph as it read was like something out of an fundamentalist "ex-transsexual" organisation's publication.

Hi! How are you? I am a fellow Wikipedian with ASD. I would like to know more about you. Thanks! --Sjsharksrs 12:35, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I am only a 16 years old student. I managed to be mainstreamed in school. I am really pleased to meet you. That's all about me. :D Sjsharksrs 08:38, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Templates

Hi Andrea, it's not a war. I was wrong, I made wrong templates adapting bond movies box navigation to other actors filmographies templates because I didn't know how to create it, but I didn't know that, and an user reverted it but he, too, didn't say to me what was wrong; but now he'd talked to me about that problem and I learned how to fix it. I have already corrected the templates, creating right ones. Machocarioca 02:05, 10 November 2006 (UTC)machocarioca

Mediation

Thank you for stepping in as a mediator. I didn't want to be stuck in an edit war, and I am, and was fully aware of his position, and what he was trying to get at... I just didn't feel it were appropriately phrased. I think you understand/understood that, and I hope we can come up with an edit that is both appropriate and accurate for the article, even if it's not what I kept reverting to. --Puellanivis 16:12, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Imagine (song)

Thanks for catching my (unintentional) mistake on the Imagine (song) article. I think I must have got a bit mixed up when expanding the paragraph on Peter Gabriel's version to include Stevie Wonder's earlier version. Anyway, thanks. --BlueCanary 09:20, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

TS entry

Apologies if this comment is in the wrong place but I simply wanted to communicate and explain some edits made to the page on transsexualism (and its etiology). While there are several statements to the fact that the cause of transsexualism is unknown, a number of passages very much appear to promote the view that it has biological cause.* I have tried to correct for this, while retaining as much of the original content as possible.

Feminist artists -- Welcome at Centiare

Andrea, I saw how the Feminist artists category isn't getting much support. I'd like to point you to a wiki domain that would not only welcome such a project, but you get to keep the Google AdSense revenue your Directory pages might generate. Read about it right here, then go visit Centiare. --JossBuckle Swami 05:44, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
