A welcome from Sango123

Glad to be part of this community. Two requests: the page is ranked as a "starting page" and as of "low importance." Please reconsider these classifications. This is a fully-developed page with citations to primary sources, and since it describes the largest LGBTQ-affirming church movement in North America (actually, in the world) it should be considered to be fairly important. Also, how do we change the page titles from "Open and affirming" to "Open and Affirming"? (The latter is the legal name, with the "A" capitalized.)

Hello, Langohio, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; I hope you like the place and decide to stay. We're glad to have you in our community! Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• If you haven't already, drop by the New user log and tell others a bit about yourself.
• Always sign your posts on talk pages! That way, others will know who left which comments.
• The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
• Simplified Ruleset
• How to edit a page

• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style
• Wikipedia Glossary
• If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also the Topical index.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make goofy mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful.

Happy Wiki-ing!

Please don't spam links to your blog everywhere. Thanks. Secretlondon 22:15, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your advice, secretlondon. I did add links to my blog where I'd posted researched articles that were relevant to a Wikipedia article's subject, but have since learned this is not encouraged. So I've stopped.--langohio 19:42, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your help with the cleanup of Allgemeiner Deutscher Nachrichtendienst!

May 2007 edition of the WikiProject Germany newsletter

The Germany WikiProject Newsletter Issue I - May 2007
From the editor This is the first issue of WikiProject Germany's newsletter. The newsletter is intended to help all members of the project to keep up with new developments and coordinate new collaborative efforts.	Other areas where you can help Assessment requests: Some open Requests for assessment need to be answered. To see new assessment requests as they come in, you can watchlist the assessment page. More task forces and subprojects: As this WikiProject covers a very large topic area, it is helpful to add more task forces that focus on specific aspects of Germany. Currently, we have a Mainz task force, a Munich subproject and some joint task forces with other WikiProjects. Any project member is invited to start a new task force. Suggestions for possible topics: Transportation in Germany German politics (the political system of Germany and the biographies of its politicians) German Democratic Republic Be creative! If you have an idea, just suggest it on the project talk page (don't forget to watchlist it). Categorization: Uncategorized Germany stubs need to be categorized
Project news Criteria for B-Class status: The assessment criteria for B-Class have been changed. {{WikiProject Germany}} template now has 5 switches, B-Class-1 through B-Class-5 that correspond to 5 easily checked criteria that an article should meet to be assessed as B-Class. The advantage of this system is that now there is a clear boundary between Start-Class and B-Class articles. Authors of articles that were assessed as Start-Class now get more direct feedback what they should improve to attain a B-Class rating. All of our B-Class, Start-Class and Stub-Class articles now need to be checked whether they meet any of the B-Class criteria. This is a major effort, and we need your help! If you want to help, but don't know how, please post at the project talkpage. Cities and municipalities task force A task force dedicated to creating and improving articles on all German cities and municipalities has been started and is looking for help.

If you want to help, even just for a few articles, look at the instructions and links here Article Assessment: There are now way over 26.000 articles tagged as part of our Wikiproject and many still need either an importance or a quality assessment. Also there are many more out there that do need to be tagged like approx 8000 municipalities. If you would like to help take a browse through Articles needing Importance assessment or Articles needing a basic quality assessment.

East Germany

Hi!

I'm trying to contact users interested in East Germany. You have edited some topics so I was wondering if you would like to cooperate in terms of editing?

Rayhou (talk) 22:11, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi again!

I just saw your edit on my page. It took a while as I've taken a break from editing Wikipedia. Anyways, I'm starting to feel like getting back to business and would like to know if you still want to edit some DDR topics with me? I hope you have the needed special expertise as I only have enthusiasm and general knowledge about the topics. So, are you with me?

Also, if we get this thing rolling, I should try to recontact this guy as he shares our common interest too.

Rayhou (talk) 20:17, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Sure, I'll be glad to help. --langohio (talk) 18:14, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Great news! I had previously compiled a list of few topics that lack articles. Take a look at it and tell me what you think! Do you know anything about the topics? Rayhou's DDR ToDo

Rayhou (talk) 19:18, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! I glanced at the list and I'm not really qualified to write much about the subjects. Someone who knows more about the GDR economy would be good for the articles on Konsum and the HO. I studied in the GDR and knew something about the role of the cooperative and state sectors of the economy, but not enough to fill out an article. --langohio (talk) 16:49, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
