HonorThemWithAction - One year memorial for Pulse Nightclub victims

Not sure where/how to list this so posting here. Yesterday there were a number of "HonorThemWithAction" rallies to honor the victims on the one-year anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting. I attended and photographed the one in San Francisco, but wasn't sure if I should create a new category for that rally or for the initiative generally, so I just added my pix to an existing category for now, c:Category:San Francisco rally in support of the victims of the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting (which contained photos I took at two rallies held the week of the shooting). Pinging Another Believer and MB298 (the category expert)... Funcrunch (talk) 02:13, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

@Funcrunch: I would do both: create a category for the initiative as a whole, as well as one for each individual rally. MB298 (talk) 02:17, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

@Funcrunch: I agree with MB298. Creating categories for individual events helps to categorize by date, location, etc. If you create a new a category, please share here so I can update the Commons sections accordingly! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 02:19, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

@MB298 and Another Believer: OK, I've created c:Category:HonorThemWithAction one year commemoration and c:Category:HonorThemWithAction one year commemoration in San Francisco. Also writing a bio on one of the rally speakers (Megan Rohrer) so stay tuned. :-) Funcrunch (talk) 02:45, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Like Thanks for uploading! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 03:24, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

@Funcrunch: Last year, we had the page Wikipedia:Wiki Loves Pride 2016/2016 Orlando nightclub shooting. Of course, not required, but if you'd like to create a similar page for HonorThemWithAction (SF-specific or otherwise), you're more than welcome. If the campaign is not notable enough for a Wikipedia article, might be nice to have a page to explain the purpose, share relevant links and related Wikipedia articles, display images, etc. Just an idea... ---Another Believer _(Talk) 03:30, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Not sure if it's notable enough for a standalone page or not. Part of why I pinged both you and MB298 is that you might both have a better sense than me of how much coverage this campaign got (both in news articles and photos) nationwide. I want to get that bio finished before doing more research in that regard... Funcrunch (talk) 03:36, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

I was referring to a project/WLP page, not a Wikipedia article, but I'll try to look into whether or not HonorThemWithAction received enough press coverage for a WP article soon. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 03:49, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Uploading Pride related Flickr albums

Fountain of Cybele with rainbow lighting for World Pride 2017, taken by a non-Wikimedian

As with past years, I have uploaded a few hundred photographs from Flickr accounts with suitable licenses and are in a user's Flickr album or not in any albums but findable by title. The specialized uploading method I use copies names of Flickr tags and sets to the Commons image page (so they can be searched for), and where the photo title is none or a non-allowed title, it has a go at generating one from the Flickr album name. Uploads all get added to c:Category:LGBT Free Media Collective. If you know of some good Flickrsets illustrating Pride events with free licenses which we can batch upload, drop me a message.

I'm unsure how to recognize these mass uploads as part of WLP; maybe someone could add a note and a link rather than a gallery? Thanks --Fæ (talk) 11:53, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

@Elisa.rolle: Thanks for your work on all these articles! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 01:25, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

@Another Believer: they are August and September. Do you need any help to sort it out? Elisa.rolle (talk) 08:04, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

@Elisa.rolle: Sure, if you don't mind. There are sections for new articles and improved articles, and entries are sorted by last name. Your help is much appreciated! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:19, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Removal of LGBT content

In the last few days I noticed an unreasonable removal of LGBT content from articles I have on my watch list. Both by ip addresses. In the first case Katharine Lee Bates the removal of the refefence to Katharine Coman was explained witb "do not push your agenda on our children" ; the second on Dorothy Caruso removed reference to Margaret Anderson was not explained. Unfortunately Im watchlisting only article Im touching Im wondering if this is happening on a frequent basis? Elisa.rolle (talk) 17:23, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

@Elisa.rolle: I very much encourage you to share this at Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies, which has many more watchlisters. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:56, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

Edward Fitzgerald (poet)

I was evaluating if writing about Posh Fletcher, the fisherman who was the particular friend of Edward Fitzgerald. I stress the use of "friend" since I'm not implying there was a sexual relationship between them, even if that is what was implied in the 1970s by H. Montgomery Hyde in "The Love That Dared Not Speak Its Name: A Candid History of Homosexuality in Britain". But this is a sort of "contemporary" source, and it can be discussed if it's true. But the 1908 "Herring Merchants" is basically contemporary, written 15 years after Fitzgerald's death, and when Posh was still alive, and Blyth interviewed him. Plus Princeton University Press published Fitzgerald's letters in 2014, and they researched the partnership between Fitzgerald and Posh, considering Posh is often named by Fitzgerald. Therefore I included this chapter in Fitzgerald's article:

"The 1908 book Edward Fitzgerald and "Posh": Herring Merchants (Including letters from E. Fitzgerald to J. Fletcher) recounts the friendship of Fitzgerald with Joseph Fletcher (born June 1838), nicknamed "Posh", who was still living when James Blyth started researching for the book. Posh is also often present in Fitzgerald's letters. Documentary data about the Fitzgerald-Posh partnership are available at the Port of Lowestoft Research Society. Posh died at Mutford Union Workshouse, near Lowestoft, on September 7, 1915, at the age of 76."

I tried to be as much factual as possible. I accept suggestion to make it better. Elisa.rolle (talk) 11:37, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
