Talk:2007 in LGBT rights

message: 30-May-2007: Today, I have linked Template:Year_nav_topic2 as the top nav-box in about 30 earlier/later LGBT articles (such as "1886 in LGBT rights" and "2001 in LGBT rights").  That nav-box is used in over 400 year-in-topic articles, to allow a 20-year selection range and connect to years in Art, Architecture, Music, Science, etc.  The effect is to allow users to navigate articles faster, and to branch outward to related subjects (such as "1999 in art"); however, no increased visibility back to LGBT occurs, so linking to Template:Year_nav_topic2 is NOT a grandstanding act to focus attention; any outside links back to LGBT articles are unchanged, and the effects are only seen within the connected set of LGBT articles.  -Wikid77 06:31, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: For regions like this, the best practive is usually to give coordinates that are near the center of the area, which may not correspond to the mailing address. This map shows that the reservation extends along both sides of the river, with its center roughly in the Anderson Bridge area, and I've tweaked the coordinates accordingly (also adjusting the Charles River Basin Historic District coordinates in the infobox, as well as the location maps).

If the category really needs to be split into subcategories then I would say that sorting by constituency is a better idea, as it is done in other legislators-categories such as the Members of the Australian House of Representatives, Members of the Canadian House of Commons and Members of the United Kingdom Parliament.

Talk:John M. Bennett

message: Substantial, and troubling revisions, made on Sept. 1, 2007, have resulted in a loss of information and context for the material in this article.  A reversion is recommended.  Jesse Glass 3:32, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have undone the reversion for the following reasons. First, you're not being careful about which versions you're using. Your message complains about the revisions made on September 1, but a careful review of the change log reveals that you seem to be referring instead to Maplewooddrive's October 30 edits. Second, why did you revert all the way to September 20th? It would have been sufficient to revert to 27 October. Third, I think most of Maplewooddrive's changes are right. A lot of the deleted text was not appropriate for an encyclopedia article. If you think some important factual information (verifiable by third party sources) was lost, please restore it piecemeal rather than by wholesale reversion. Thanks. Further discussion of individual changes is welcome... SethTisue (talk) 20:01, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

text: The style and tone changes bring the article much more in line with what's expected on Wikipedia. See WP:NPOV and WP:TONE. If any factual information was removed that you want to add back, that's fine, as I said — but only if it's independently verifiable by third party sources (published interviews and articles, that kind of thing).

Talk:Sandy Point State Reservation

message: Hello, 
I was wondering if anyone from the 1960's remembers a hermit who lived for a brief time at Sandy Point Reservation, at the southern most tip of Plum Island, on Ipswich property? I remember my dad making comments about him and I was wondering what ever became of him. 
History has it that there were 2 hermits of the same time period. One was a Lew Kilburn who chose to live his life alone in his house where he grew up on the island, he is not the person I am seeking info on. The 2nd hermit I believe his name was Jacob Helfant who ship/raft wrecked onto the island in c. 1962 during a storm. Made a hut out of drift wood. Was he evicted from the island or did he die there? 
Thank you for your time.
Cheryl
:Cheryl, to be perfectly honest with you this sounds like a fish story. Wrecked on the island? Give me a break, what do you think this is, 1856? All the property on the island is patrolled regularly by rangers and police. There are no houses on it except for the very nice house on Stage Island and maintenance structures of the National Refuge. Oh yes, the outhouses. You cannot live there in a hut of any sort in the winter. Chill factor is well below zero. You would soon die of hypothermia just like all the others. There is no access to any stores or services of any kind. There is no food on the island. I do not know why you have chosen to tell us this bedtime story but the public should know of its impossibility. I suppose you are poking fun at Lew and Jacob. When the economy is bad around here there are plenty of persons in the streets - God forbid it ever happens to you - but like the other animals in the wilderness they hang around the settled areas looking for a warm place and a windfall. The truth is, and I hope you never have to find this out, the homeless do not live very long. But cheer up, the police will take you to any homeless shelter and there are certainly plenty of those. But, I will not lie to you, the death rate of the homeless in winter is spectacularly high. Have some respect, not everyone is as fortunate as you.Dave (talk) 02:37, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

message: TMZ says the following: "Natalie Desselle-Reid -- a prolific actor known for roles in 'Eve,' a 'Madea' film and 'B*A*P*S' -- has died after a battle with cancer ... one she'd kept private. The veteran comedic actor passed away Monday morning. A family member tells TMZ she died of colon cancer after having been diagnosed earlier this year. We're told she was in hospice care in her final days, and was surrounded by family when she went." Is this a reliable source for a cause of death? MikaelaArsenault (talk) 19:45, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: For this particular case, news reports are including the cause of death, so it is fine to add it by citing those. But for future reference, if no reliable source can be cited to verify a claim (especially a BLP claim), then do not include it.

Talk:Sechelt Inlet

message: Well, I made a quick map. Let me know if it has any mistakes or could be improved. The smaller text is hard to read at the 300 px size -- I'll try to get to making one with larger text. I purposefully left out the town of Sechelt in order to make it clearer that the inlet is an inlet and not a strait, and that Sechelt Peninsula is not an island. On a lot of maps I've seen that is unclear because the town dot for Sechelt obscures the isthmus. If need be, the town could be mentioned in the caption at least. I made the map large enough to show Vancouver, figuring it would help orient people. Plus, the DCW coastline would start to look unnatural and jagged if I zoomed in too much more. I also named a few other water features -- can't resist the chance to mention Alessandro Malaspina, heh. Anyway, I did this one pretty quickly, so let me know if it works, etc. And now that I've looked into the inlet and narrows and so on, perhaps I'll try to expand the contents of this and related pages -- more could be said.

thread_title: Consenting Adults

message: The Wolfenden Committee sought advice from many outside sources. A book was recently published which tried to summarise what they received. About twenty years ago I discovered a pamphlet in a psychiatric office bookcase in which the British Medical Association published what it had submitted. The main conclusion was that there was no evidence that any treatment was useful for homosexuals, with the sole exception of religious conversion followed by a life of abstention. They recommended that homosexuals should be subjected to the full force of the law. However, the chaps at the BMA recognised that they knew little about female homosexuals, so that chapter was outsourced to the Medical Women's Federation (located in the same building), who came to the opposite conclusion, that lesbians were no trouble at all and that nothing needed to be done about them.
