Please see my comment on Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (acronyms). Unless I receive any positive response to U.S., I'll curb my edits toward other style editing projects.

[edit] Bayeux Tapestry & Smart/Fancy Quotes

It appears you recently did a re-write on Bayeux Tapestry. Maybe you didn't know, but using a word process is OK, but turn off "fancy/smart quotes and apostrophes". It will add UNICODE (looks like &8221; [1]) to the finished page, which WP reguards (currently) as not in good style. This may change in the future. …Guy M… ^(soapbox) 02:58, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)

Nope, I'm not much of a content-wikipedian, I merely reverted vandalism to it. The unicode was already there, but on reverting my browser changed it from UTF-8 literals to html character entities, which isn't much of an improvement but at least made it valid Latin-1. --W(t) 03:25, 2005 Jun 14 (UTC)

[edit] Eli Siegel

Thanks for your copyediting help on Eli Siegel. Several fans and detractors of the subject are involved in editing the article. For some reason the word "suicide" is a major bone of contention between them. I'm trying to work with the fans to accept it. But in the meantime adding it in big bold letters may seem to them like rubbing their noses in it. The article and its pair, Aesthetic Realism, have been in almost constant flux for a long while and I'm hoping that with some patient editing we can arrive at more stable versions. Please do participate if you like. There's a thread on Siegel's death on the talk page. Cheers, -Willmcw 22:09, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)

Just finished my attempt at NPOV / Dispute resolution message before I read this. Please see my full message there.

In a nutshell:

I'm a neutral person on [the] article. I've never heard of, read any, talked to, seen or otherwise associated with Eli Siegel or the organization and beliefs of "Aesthetic Realism", until I found [the] article. With that in mind...

How about this as a compromise:

From: His suicide was described by Ellen Reiss …

To: His untimely passing was described by Ellen Reiss …

is that an equitable compromise?

[edit] LGBT WikiProject newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter - SPECIAL ELECTION EDITION

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter! Issue VI - May 2, 2007 Monthly Challenge: Stand for Deputy Coordinator or support some candidates after May 5... Article News Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly Fond of Each Other is a Featured Article Candidate. Project News A taskforce dealing with LGBT publications has been proposed. If you are interested in getting involved, consider signing up at the projects' page. Our core topics list is looking good. It's still a bit slim on LGBT history articles, non-American LGBT media, and important LGBT biographies. Do you have suggestions? David Shankbone has done an amazing job taking photographs of LGBT celebrities. Thanks David! People interested in collaborating with him and setting up a photography taskforce should contact him or drop a note at the project's talkpage. The LGBT Portal still needs a bit of love and attention :-). Again, any good quality (free) photos you come across on LGBT articles can be added to the gallery here. Volunteers to help out with the Portal are extremely welcome- make yourselves known on the Portal's talkpage. Updates to the current news items are helpful. Deputy coordinator elections WikiProject LGBT studies is looking for new Deputy Coordinators to help out with various essential tasks in organising the project. To nominate yourself or contribute to the discussion, please go to: Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Coordinator/May 2007. The deadline for nominations is May 5 and the elections will last a week after that. Candidates so far are: SatyrTN, Raystorm and Fireplace. The elections will be pretty simple- everyone just endorses their favourite candidate(s). The three with the most votes at the end of the week are the new deputy coordinators, who will assist Dev920 in keeping the project running.
