[edit]Hi! I just noticed your class, Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/UC Berkeley/LGBT 146 Cultural Representations of Sexuality (Spring). It looks pretty awesome, so if you need any help with anything, feel free to let me know! Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 10:29, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
- I recently created a page as part of this month's Women in Red edit-a-thon, which is focused on creating or improving content on artists, works of art by women, social reformers, activists, and feminists. What made me think of you is that your course focuses on cultural representations of sexuality and this article is on an academic text that collects essays on Latina representation in culture and film, From Bananas to Buttocks. The article is a stub, so it could use some expansion. I can also recommend expanding "The Myth of the Latin Woman", an awesome essay by Judith Ortiz Cofer. I managed to help save it from deletion years ago, but have never had the time to go back and expand it - this would make for a nice task for your class since Cofer talks about how various stereotypes and cultural depictions have impacted her over the years, particularly the idea that Latinos and Latinas (as well as anyone from Hispanic descent) are expected to be "sexually expressive" (sigh). Stonewall (2015 film) might also make a good project, since the film is supposed to be about the Stonewall riots, but gained a fair share of criticism because it didn't accurately represent the people that took part in the riots. For example, the film was accused of not representing minorities and other groups (transwomen, drag queens, etc). The Advocate even praised the film's protesters.

Disambiguation link notification for May 1
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Gay bar, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Esta Noche. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Your course LGBT 146 Cultural Representations of Sexuality
[edit]Hello, Juamari. I see that you're the instructor for the ongoing class LGBT 146 Cultural Representations of Sexuality at UCB (right across the Bay from me). This is just a heads-up that I left one of your students a message on their talk page regarding some edits they made at the article Kathoey for your class. I see from the class syllabus that you've already covered talk pages so I assume they will know how to respond, if they wish to. (Pinging Adam as a courtesy.) Best of luck in your class, it sounds great!
P.S. Your course being what it is, you may be interested to know about a Wikipedia feature which permits you to use the proper pronouns when referring to a User whose gender you don't know, assuming they've indicated a preference. Please see the documentation at Template:their and related templates. (Users default to "they/their/theirs", but the Templates will pick up their pronoun choices if they've set them in Preferences.)

- Also, if you need any help regarding Wikipedia, I'm happy to help. I'm just another editor, like you, so I'm not wearing any special hat or anything, nor is my word gold. But I've been around for a while, I know my way around quite a few Wikipedia guidelines and policies, and I've also edited many articles relating to Gender and LGBT topics, and have a lot more on my Watchlist. So please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have. Cordially, Mathglot (talk) 01:31, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
Hello, Mathglot thank you very much for your help! I am still new to Wikipedia and am happy for the help. I checked your intervention and thought that was completely appropriate. I will also reach out to them. --Juamari (talk) 03:48, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- Yw. Btw, when you see a red link in Wikipedia, that means the page does not exist on Wikipedia. Since "Mathglot" is not an article on WP, it appears in red above. To link to a user, code it like this:
[[User:Mathglot]]
, or[[User:Juamari]]
, which will result in "User:Mathglot, or User:Juamari". To link to an article talk page, putTalk:
before the article name, and bracket it like this:[[Talk:Kathoey]]
(this results in Talk:Kathoey). To link to a user's talk page, putUser talk:
before the name, and bracket it like this:[[User talk:Juamari]]
(this results in User talk:Juamari; <-- Note: this comes out in boldface and not as a blue hyperlink like the others, because it refers to this very page; there's nowhere to click to.) More details at Help:Link. - On a side note: regarding the use of indentation on Talk pages to maintain separation between editors' comments, please see WP:INDENT. Regarding talk page usage generally, please see WP:TALK. Mathglot (talk) 00:26, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Your class & editing/reviewing assistance
[edit]Hi Juamari! I noticed you're teaching Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/UC Berkeley/LGBT 146 Cultural Representations of Sexuality (Spring 2017) this class, which sounds awesome. I specifically noticed it when commenting on this user's talk page. I just wanted to let you know that if you or any students have questions or need help, you/they are more than welcome to reach out to me. I also have the resources of the Quatrefoil Library (catalog) available if they are searching for any reference materials. = paul2520 16:10, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
a heads-up, and watchlists
[edit]Hi Juamari,
Just a heads-up to let you know I left a comment on the Talk page of one of your students. Besides a specific issue with a citation, I left some tips about handling dead links, and how to get help when needed.
Btw, do you know about watchlists? They're a very handy way of keeping track of articles and other pages you are interested in. I use it to keep track, among other things, of a dozen or two Gender-related articles. When I click the 'Watchlist' link, it gives me a list of all the most recent changes to all the pages I'm interested in. In your case, if you added the User page (or Talk page) of every student in your class to your watchlist, as well as the articles they're assigned to, it will make it much easier for you to follow what's going on. You can add articles or talk pages to your watchlist en masse, just click the "Watchlist" link top right on this page, then click 'Edit raw watchlist'. Slower, but possibly easier, is to visit the page you're interested in, then click the star symbol top right until it turns blue. Cordially, Mathglot (talk) 21:44, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- To add to what Mathglot said, you can also elect to receive an email when a page on your watchlist has changed. Caution, as this can be a large volume depending on the number and popularity of the pages you follow. To enable this, go to your preferences and check the box for "Email me when a page or a file on my watchlist is changed". = paul2520 23:03, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
Avoiding conflict of interest
[edit]Hi Juamari, it appears that you may have a personal connection with the page Juana María Rodríguez, which you have edited. Wikipedia policies strongly discourage users from editing pages about themselves or people they have a personal connection with, per WP:COISELF. Editing these topics can cause the neutrality and verifiability of the article to be called into question. Thanks, Enwebb (talk) 02:33, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

ArbCom 2019 election voter message
[edit]February 2020
[edit]Hello, I'm Tymon.r. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Tatiana de la tierra—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. Tymon.r Do you have any questions? 16:31, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
Hello there, thank you for this, and I appreciate your concern that this might not seem relevant. However tatiana wrote about Fat Liberation and fat as a feminist issue. I will revise the essay to make that clearer. Thank you. I am not a frequent editor, so if there is another way to respond, let me know.
