Scope reverts

Hi Argos'Dad! Sorry about the edits to the Scope page - I take your point. Would it be OK just to update that first sentence? What is currently there isn't entirely accurate. Do you think this would be ok?

Scope is a UK disability charity working with disabled people and their families in England and Wales.

TallAlex (talk) 16:01, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Hey TallAlex. Thanks for contacting me. I DO think it would be good to expand the lead, and paraphrasing from their website is fine. Take a crack at it and I will join you in this endeavor to improve the Scope article. Argos'Dad 17:58, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Adding categories regarding the sexual orientation of a living person

This is covered by WP:BLPCAT, which says "Categories regarding religious beliefs or sexual orientation should not be used unless the subject has publicly self-identified with the belief or orientation in question, and the subject's beliefs or sexual orientation are relevant to their public life or notability, according to reliable published sources." If you have added any against our BLP policy, please remove them. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 12:55, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

I appreciate your reminder of WP:BLPCAT and also appreciate your following WP:AGF. Nevertheless, to answer your specific insinuation: I am fairly certain that I have not added any categories such as you describe, for living persons. Recently I reverted a number of category removals by User:Pgarret who removed such categories for dead people due to his personal opinion that they were not gay enough to warrant the cat. I also reverted an edit on a living person Manvendra Singh Gohil who is an openly-gay living person for whom Pgarret changed his self-described sexuality from gay to homosexual. Please let me know if you have any other concerns about my edits or if you are aware of a specific case in which I violated WP:BLPCAT, as I will self-revert immediately. Thanks. Argos'Dad 14:33, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

It was Franz, Duke of Bavaria where you reverted Pgarret's removal of the cat. That is a BLP, but I accept that you must not have noticed that. Dougweller (talk) 04:55, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

You are correct. I did not know/notice that Franz was alive. Thanks for pointing it out. I will pay closer attention. Best regards, Argos'Dad 15:03, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject Good articles (Participant Clean-Up)

Hello, you are receiving this message because you are currently a participant of WikiProject Good articles. Since the creation of the WikiProject, over 200 user's have joined to help review good article nominations and contribute to other sections of the WikiProject. Over the years, several of these users have stopped reviewing articles and/or have become inactive with the project but are still listed as participates. In order to improve communications with other participants and get newsletters sent out faster (newsletters will begin to be sent out monthly starting in October) all participants that are no longer active with the WikiProject will be removed from the participants list.

If you are still interested in being a participant for this WikiProject, please sign your user name here and please help review some articles so we can reduce the size of the backlog. If you are no longer interested, you do not need to sign your name anywhere and your name will be removed from the participants list after the deadline. Remember that even if you are not interested at this time, you can always re-add your name to the list whenever you want. The deadline to sign your name on the page above will be November 1, 2012. Thank-you. 13:21, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Update for: WikiProject Good articles (Participant Clean-Up)

Sorry for having to send out a second message but a user has brought to my attention that a point mentioned in the first message should be clarified. If user's don't sign on this page, they will be moved to an "Inactive Participants" list rather then be being removed from the entire WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of Greek destroyer Doxa

The article Greek destroyer Doxa has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No references and no indication of notability.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Robkirwan (talk) 14:49, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Nomination of Greek destroyer Doxa for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Greek destroyer Doxa is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Greek destroyer Doxa until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Robkirwan (talk) 17:32, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Virginia Senate district articles

I see you have started a series of articles on individual numbered Senate of Virginia districts, including members as far back as 1940. What reference do you have that indicates that Senate districts were numbered that long ago? I don't see one in any of the articles. If you look at the Virginia House of Delegates' historical member lists on their site, they don't use district numbers any further back than 1962. Frankly, I wonder if they saw the need to number the districts back when General Assembly districts were aggregations of cities and counties. Rklear (talk) 04:01, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Hey, Rklear:

I am relying on a multi-volume directory called the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia. It is a register of the members of the General Assembly compiled by the Clerk of the House of Delegates. The oldest volume I have located is for the period 1919 - 1939. The next volume is 1940 - 1960, and the final volume is for the period 1962 - 1981. There are numbered Senate districts back at least to 1919. You are correct that House districts were by whole counties and city for the early periods of these books, but the Senate has had districts since at least 1919.

I appreciate your interest in the General Assembly and hope we can work together. I have not taken the Senate districts back before 1940 yet, because so few of the members have articles, yet.Argos'Dad 21:37, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

I just started editing WP again after a lapse of about 3 years. Before I left I was trying to ensure that there were at least stub articles on every Speaker of the House of Burgesses and House of Delegates, after which I was going to start working backwards chronologically through the full membership. I never really got as far as I wanted on either of those tasks; indeed I came back to find redlinks in the current House and Senate member lists. Now that I finally have those taken care of, maybe I can get back to pursuing my previous ambitions. Rklear (talk) 21:59, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
