Shortcuts: WP:LGBT WP:GLBT WP:LGBTSTUD WP:GAY WP:HOMO

Welcome to WikiProject LGBT Studies! We're a group of editors who aim to improve the general quality and range of Wikipedia articles on LGBT and Queer studies topics, from LGBT people to gay marriage to transgender topics to Cleveland Street scandal. WP:LGBT brings all these people together to discuss what we're doing, ask for help, announce new articles and pinpoint areas that especially need fixing.

We hope that this project page will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please add your name to the members' list! Any Wikipedian (someone with a user account)—regardless of sexual orientation—is free to join us. Check out Portal:LGBT and our main page to see what we've accomplished so far. WP:LGBT is focused on improving and expanding LGBT coverage across Wikipedia, and we would be delighted to welcome you!

If you are new to Wikipedia, or just feeling lost, please read this.

Goals

1. To create a thriving WikiProject that rivals WP:MILHIST in its activity, efficiency, and success.
2. To bring every LGBT related article up to FA status.
3. To maintain or improve articles that come under our jurisdiction.

Scope

The scope of the projects is to:

1. Identify and categorize existing LGBT and Queer studies articles on Wikipedia
2. Develop standards for what is required for LGBT and Queer studies articles to qualify as excellent
3. Improve the quality of existing LGBT and Queer studies articles
4. Ensure LGBT and Queer studies articles are in line with Wikipedia's minimum standards and policies, including but not limited to: WP:NOR, WP:V, WP:NPOV
5. Identify and develop standardized tables, tags and categorization schemes for LGBT and Queer studies articles
6. Identify and create LGBT and Queer studies articles that are not yet included in Wikipedia
7. Identify potential material that may be also be transwikied — (i.e. collect information for possible high-quality LGBT/Queer studies textbooks for Wikibooks).

Members of WikiProject LGBT Studies maintain Portal:LGBT. We also share a deletion sorting page with other related WikiProjects, which lists all relevant XfDs within our scope.

What this Wikiproject is not

1. This project does not extend beyond the cultural, political and historical manifestation of LGBT and intersex identities, attractions, and relationships, and related societal reactions.
2. This project does not extol any point of view, political or otherwise, other than that of a neutral documentarian.
3. This project is not limited to European/North American issues.

Tasks you can do

A lot of people join the project and want to help, but don't really know how. Here's a list of tasks that either need regular attention or fulfil the goals of our project:

1. Review our list of unsourced people tagged or categorised as LGBT and either add a reference or remove the tag or category.
2. Look through a bot-generated list of articles containing LGBT keywords and mark them with our banner as appropriate.
3. Submit an article to Jumpaclass and see how much you can improve it in seven days.
4. Vote on a deletion discussion.
5. Submit newly created articles to WP:DYK on their authors' behalf.
6. Find good quality article, biographies, quotes and pictures and adapt them for Portal:LGBT.
7. Add to our list of resources.
8. Work on our list of Core Topics - we are after core articles that we can create some kind of publication from.

Departments

The WikiProject runs several departments to aid us in our goals. Anyone is welcome to help out with any of them.

Announcements
UPDATE: We now have SEVEN Featured Lists! LGBT people A, R, Sa-Sc, Sd-Si, Sj-Sz, T-V, and W-Z lists have all been featured. We're in the middle of a project-wide drive to cross-reference the LGBT lists with all the people categorized as LGBT on Wikipedia, using reliable sources. Please check out the "to-do-list, finding sources for them and adding them to the relevant list. We're just about half-way through, so every active member committing to checking just one article a day would wipe out this backlog in days. Please help the WikiProject by contributing.

Collaboration
The current LGBT WikiProject Collaboration of the Month is LGBT symbols! Please read the nomination text and help improve the article to featured article standard if you can.

Assessment

One of the main tasks of the LGBT WikiProject is to assess the quality of Wikipedia's LGBT articles. The resulting article ratings are used within the project to help in recognising excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work. They also play a role in the WP:1.0 program, which the WikiProject uses to help automate some of the assessing process.

The assessment is done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{LGBTProject}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:LGBT articles by quality, which serve as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist. WP:1.0 also produces a statistics page, and a log of articles assessed.

To find out more, see Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Assessment.

Collaboration

The LGBT WikiProject runs a monthly Collaboration, to try to harness the editing skills of the entire Project to bring one article up to Featured Article standard a month. The COTM article is also peer reviewed shortly before becoming the Collaboration article, in order to help editors pinpoint what most needs changing. See Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Collaboration for more information.

New collaborations are currently agreed upon on the talkpage on an ad hoc basis until a more formal nomination process is warranted.

	The current LGBT WikiProject Collaboration of the Month is LGBT symbols!
	Please read the nomination text and help improve the article to featured article standard if you can.

Community

The Community Department of the LGBT WikiProject is a centralised place to develop ways of fostering a sense of community and belonging in all our members, and to recruit more people into our community. Editors who are happy and have support when they need it are more likely to work harder at improving articles than if they feel no-one cares.

To achieve this, we currently have:

• A successful recruiting program to headhunt helpful contributors to the Wikipedia.
• A welcome template to inform new members of aspects of the WikiProject and where they can go for help.
• A newsletter to keep members up to date with all the latest news from the WikiProject
• A quilt in which every member has their own patch to place whatever they want.

Any other ideas are welcome! Please propose them on the main talkpage.

As awareness of us grows, WikiProject LGBT studies has been featured in an increasing number of external sources; a list of these is maintained here. There is also a Press kit for anyone interested in drumming up some publicity (or just showing off).

Jumpaclass

Jumpaclass is a fun semi-competition that the LGBT WikiProject runs to improve the quality of lower-quality articles. There are many processes for higher quality articles, such as Peer review and FAC, but many stubs and start rated articles languish unedited for lack of interest. Jumpaclass is a unique attempt to correct that.

To enter, find an article you would like to improve from the list of assessed LGBT articles: you can choose Stub, Start, or B class articles. You then have seven days to improve the article. If within a week, you "jump" an article one or more assessment classes, you win points that are noted on a leadership board. Check Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Jumpaclass for all the details. Challenge a friend to go "head to head" with you and see who can jump their article the furthest!

Peer Review

The LGBT WikiProject peer review articles on request. This is to encourage better articles by having contributors who may not have worked on articles to examine them and provide ideas for further improvement. The process is highly flexible and can deal with articles of any quality though requesting reviews on very short articles may not be productive as there is little for readers to comment on. This process is not an academic peer review by a group of experts in a particular subject, and articles that undergo this process should not be assumed to have greater authority than any other.

To learn more about our peer review system, see Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Peer review.

Translation

If you have another language besides English, please consider adding your name to our List of Translators. Translation is a very new process, so we're still tweaking its purpose and objectives. Feel free to join in the discussion!

Miscellaneous

Watchlist

The LGBT WikiProject maintains two watchlists: one for controversial LGBT articles, one for all articles tagged as within our scope.

The main Watchlist is here. Anyone who comes across contentious or highly vandalised article is welcome to add to it. This userbox links to the recent changes to articles on that page.

This user keeps track of the LGBT Watchlist

The Watchall list may be found here. It lists every article tagged by us, and may also be helpful if a normal alphabetical list is needed. It is updated automatically by bot, so manual changes are not required. There is also a userbox for the Watchall list:

This user tries to monitor the LGBT Watchall list.

Proposed tasks

• Photography - I saw this on WikiProject Australia. Potentially, having pictures of famous LGBT places and or events could be quite helpful. Do we have anyone here involved with the photography side of Wikipedia to give us some input as to how this works? Or anyone who would be interested in taking this further?

• DavidShankbone

• • I think that an archive or whatever of LGBT related photos would be good, if there was a tag that we could put on them so that when creating articles we can access an existing set of photographs. However i don't know enough about wiki to know how to do this (Pi 10:33, 20 August 2007 (UTC))
• I just added a stub at Sally Kern, who has recently made national news for her anti-gay remarks. As a state legislator, she's automatically notable anyway. Someone might want to flesh out the stub. - Philippe | Talk 23:41, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

I'll try to take a look at it this evening. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 23:44, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

• Moscow and St. Petersburg are the two gay centers in Russia, and yet there is no mention of gay life or culture in the demographic/culture sections of these cities. I feel strongly that leaving out this information ignores important information about these Russian cities. QuirkyAndSuch (talk) 08:50, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Proposed taskforces

• A taskforce dealing with LGBT publications has been proposed. Please place your name below if you are interested in getting involved:

Website

The project does have its own website, at http://wplgbt.tripod.com/ to host a chatroom and copyrighted materials that can't be uploaded to Wikipedia.

Guidelines

Visit sub page

1. Sexuality and Sexual identity are not interchangeable.
2. The Wikipedia Manual of Style's guidelines on identity indicate to refer to transgendered individuals according to the names and pronouns they use to identify themselves. MOS#Identity (The neutrality of this section was challenged on April 24, 2007, see discussion).
3. Identification and/or categorization of individuals is first off bound by Wikipedia's guidelines on Biographies of Living Persons. After taking that into account:

a. A person may be categorized and/or identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender if they themselves identify as such, regardless of relationships or apparent gender, ie Billie Joe Armstrong.

b. A person may be categorized and/or identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender if they had documented, notable relationships with their same sex or with both sexes, such as Marlon Brando.

c. Reliable sources allege the person to be, or have been, in relationships with their same sex or with both sexes, ie Lord Byron and Alfred Kinsey.
