Recognition of same-sex marriage in Australia

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

The Australian states of Tasmania, Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales, as well as the Australian Capital Territory, recognise same-sex marriages performed abroad. Therefore, they must be coloured in cyan blue. Xylo kai Gyali (talk) 07:47, 17 November 2016 (UTC) Xylo kai Gyali (talk) 07:47, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Xylo kai Gyali. You already said this at Template talk:World laws pertaining to homosexual relationships and expression. (I moved your comment to the bottom of the page, where new comments are supposed to go.) If I were you, I'd wait and see if anyone replies to it there. If you don't get any replies within a couple of days, you might post a query at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBT studies‎.

I notice you've been making a lot of changes to related pages, and the reason for the changes isn't always clear. Please use an edit summary for each edit so that other user can know your rationale.

If you feel I haven't responded adequately to your Help request, reset the template above to {{Help me}} and someone else will be along. Rivertorch's Evil Twin (talk) 13:31, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Rivertorch's Evil Twin. Thanks for the response. I am a new user and still have many queries about how to edit properly / ask questions / add citations and sources. Indeed, I have made a lot of changes on related pages , mainly minor things like to add dates or fix typos and make the content a bit more accurate. But as I said, minor changes. Next time I edit anything, I promise I will use the Edit Summary, so that the reason of my edit will be specified. Thanks for taking the time to help me. Really appreciate it.

December 2016

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to LGBT rights in Argentina, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

August 2017

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to LGBT rights in Greece, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. --❤ SILENTRESIDENT ❤ 11:08, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. --❤ SILENTRESIDENT ❤ 09:06, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

October 2017

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇} 15:22, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for mentioning. You really helped me. I didn't know all these. Xylo kai Gyali (talk) 18:44, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. Mostly, you need to use the article talk page to discuss the material you wish to change once other editors have disagreed. The thing with edit wars is they (a) make the articles less trustable; and (b) make Wikipedia a less pleasant place to edit. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇} 18:59, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I understand what you mean. It seems like you're more experienced than me, so can you edit Chad on the map? And maybe Angola but I am not sure if the new penal code has been signed yet. But in Chad the law to criminalise homosexuality came into force on 1 August. Xylo kai Gyali (talk) 19:30, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So talk about it on the talk page. And it might really help if you prefaced it with "Sorry about the edit warring; I didn't understand how problematic it was." --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇} 20:55, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I did but noone had replied... Just trying to make the map as accurate as possible. Xylo kai Gyali (talk) 20:57, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Warring? I don't know what that means (I'm not a native english speaker) Xylo kai Gyali (talk) 20:59, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Have you read Wikipedia:Edit warring? --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇} 15:03, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ooh yeah I just did! Completely understood! As you suggested, I left messages on the talk page regarding Chad but no-one replied. Xylo kai Gyali (talk) 15:27, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Civil Unions for LGBTI people

Hello, your recent edits in LGBT rights in Greece has brought to my attention the case of Civil Unions for people of various categories. While Civil Unions before 2015 permitted opposite sex, in 2015 they were expanded to same-sex. But I am not sure whether Civil Unions before 2015 were permitted for Transgender people. Is the inclusion of the Transgender the reason of your edits? -- ❤ SILENTRESIDENT ❤ 13:56, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand exactly what you mean, but I think before 2015, civil unions were legal for transgender people, as long as they had changed their gender surgically.

Mentions of IAHCR Costa Rica ruling in a number of articles

Hi, I'm writing to give you a heads-up about some material I just removed that, in at least some cases, had been added by you to a number of articles with titles of the form "LGBT rights in [country]". The material consists of paragraphs and table annotations relating to an IACHR ruling in a case involving Costa Rica.

I've left the paragraph text in place in articles where it's serving as context for activity within the country that is a consequence of the IACHR ruling, such as when a lawsuit has been filed that cites that ruling as its legal basis. In other cases, where the ruling is mentioned without any discussion of actions in the country that have resulted from it, it's only serving an editorial function, as if to say "LGBT people don't have such-and-such rights in this country, but the IACHR ruling says they should have them". The articles rightly deal with what LGBT rights are, and on activities in each respective country related to the pursuit or granting or revocation of rights in that country, but it isn't appropriate for Wikipedia to state what they're supposed to be. Largoplazo (talk) 20:35, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Precedent for this is a similar set of removals of language in articles on LGBT rights in various African countries. AfricaTanz had added boilerplate language about an international agreement that was said to be binding on all those countries, without mentioning any actual impact the ruling had on any of those countries. After a lengthy feud, the removal of the content was sustained. Largoplazo (talk) 20:44, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Previous pertinent discussions, relating to a similar situation vis-a-vis African countries:

History of LGBT activism in Greece

Hello, I appreciate your contributions to the LGBT rights in Greece and it has come to my notice that you are abit aware of the LGBT affairs in Greece, just like me. While I am a human rights activist in real life, I am yet not fully aware of several aspects about the pre-2000 history of the LGBT activism in Greece, which the article seems to be lacking abit, otherwise I would have added them myself. Do you happen to have any information about the history of LGBT activism that could be a useful addition to the article? --👧🏻 SilentResident 👧🏻 ^{(talk ✉️ | contribs 📝)} 23:19, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Demonym

Hi, how are u?, I see here that you understand the situation about the demonyms of the countries, so, I want to ask you did you want to join in the descussion here and to help me to prove my claims. Namely, I'm claiming the the demonym refers to all the residents of one country and because of that the link for the demonym of the countries who have a dominant ethnic group, can't go to that ethnic group, but to the demographics of that country. I explained my claims and on my talk page, you can read them. Thank you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Sashko1999#The_DEMONYM_refers_to_all_citizens_of_one_country,_and_the_ETHNONYM_refers_to_people_of_a_particular_ethnic_group Sashko1999 (talk) 13:30, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
