Request for dispute resolution in Eleno de Céspedes

There is a dispute between User:Nikkimaria and myself in the article about historical character Eleno de Céspedes, specifically whether a certain original drawing of Eleno uploaded by an user can be used the illustrate the article or not. I argue the drawing fits Wikipedia's policies on original images as readable here, while Nikkimaria argues it does not. I therefore request users to visit the talk page and opine. Thank you in advance. Baal Nautes (talk) 15:15, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

I don't understand the dispute but wow. This article is bad in places. Lot's of speculative wording on uncited claims. It needs a pass from someone on this board and I'll probably give it a crack myself.Antisymmetricnoise (talk) 21:43, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Improvement request for 21st century anti-trans movement in the United Kingdom

Hi! I’m making an article on the anti trans movement in the UK, in a similar vein as 2020s anti-LGBTQ movement in the United States. Any help would be appreciated! Snokalok (talk) 19:29, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Oh, I forgot to restate the title. 21st century anti-trans movement in the United Kingdom Snokalok (talk) 19:31, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

You seem to have copied some text from elsewhere on Wikipedia, resulting in errors due to refs with nonexistent names. Please, at minimum, repair attribution. Flounder fillet (talk) 23:50, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

I've fixed the refs and added WP:RIA dummy note for attribution. Raladic (talk) 01:12, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Improvement for Intersex healthcare advocacy

A few months ago I made the intersex healthcare article and added a to-do list for things to improve on the talk page. While I've worked on some of it, I was wondering if someone could help flesh out the advocacy section more. Thanks! Urchincrawler (talk) 00:45, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Discussion on Talk:List of fictional pansexual characters

There is presently a discussion here as to whether an image, released by an official account, showing characters wearing clothes "resembling the pansexual pride flag" is enough to say that said characters are pansexual. Your comments in this discussion would be greatly appreciated. Historyday01 (talk) 16:45, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

We need new images for LGBTQ sexuality.

There is an image for transgender-inclusive sex: File:Wiki-trans-cis lesbian sex.png. But there are no such image for transman sexuality. We need illustrations of penile-vaginal sex and other sex including trans people.

We require illustrations of opposite-gender same-genitalia sexual activities or same-gender heterogenital sexual activities immediately. Illustrations which describe same-gender same genitalia sexual activities of trans people will be eventually required. Sharouser (talk) 16:21, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Seedfeeder has been inactive for over a decade now, so we will not have any new "Wikipedia style sex illustrations", well, at least certainly not "immediately". Flounder fillet (talk) 19:00, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

The linked image isn't currently used on English Wikipedia. Is there an article or project where an image like this is desired, let alone required immediately? –RoxySaunders 🏳️‍⚧️ (talk • stalk) 23:08, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

It's not at all obvious to me that it's a particularly useful image for illustrating trans lesbian sex anyway – it could just as easily be read as cis-het sex. Indeed, of the three uses across the entire Wikimedia ecosystem, the one on en.wikiquote is accompanying a quote about heterosexual sex. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 23:21, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Agree; I can't imagine an enWP context where these would be explanatory, and several where it would be degrading. Transgender sexuality could use images, but not much is elucidated by literal depictions of transgender people having sex. Many already associate trans bodies primarily with fetish pornography, and conjuring mental images of our genitals is perhaps the one thing they have very little trouble with... –RoxySaunders 🏳️‍⚧️ (talk • stalk) 00:03, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Category:Anti-transgender activists

I've translated from Russian Wikipedia Category:Anti-LGBTQ activists (well there was a similar but more specific category here though). There's Category:Anti-same-sex-marriage activists but none for anti-trans rights activists yet. Recently, Category:Feminism and transgender topics was renamed and purged. However, not every biography that were directly there was technically "anti-trans" (such as Buck Angel) I guess. Another possibility is to create Category:Gender-critical feminists based on gender-critical feminism mainspace article. I also created c:cat:Gender-critical people because some of them aren't feminists, but I'm not sure if that would be allowed on English Wikipedia. Though many would fall under wp:OPINIONCAT, some would qualify as defining. Also what title would be the best? The sentence from Category:Organizations that oppose transgender rights could be used ("... that oppose transgender rights"), but that sounds like a WP:BLP issue.

Pride flag and Rainbow flag (LGBTQ)

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see any difference between the topics of Pride flag and Rainbow flag (LGBTQ). Before I start a WP:MERGE discussion, maybe someone can explain it to me. The first line of Rainbow flag even bolds Pride flag as a synonym. (Here's one data point to consider.) Feel free to start a merge discussion if you like; I'm likely to be tied up for a few days. Please ping me to it, if you do, otherwise I'll get around to it eventually, barring something really persuasive here. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 07:38, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Pride flag is a parent article summarizing the 9 or so articles about pride flags, including Rainbow flag as well as other identity-specific pride flags like the Asexual flag, Transgender flag and Lesbian flags. We have enough to say about each of these individually that they qualify for their own articles. –RoxySaunders 🏳️‍⚧️ (talk • stalk) 11:32, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Yup pretty much this. The Pride flag article is basically a WP:BROADCONCEPT-ish article about Pride flags and all the different Pride flags. Whereas the Rainbow flag one is specifically about the history of blue the rainbow flag.

i don’t think merging them is in the best interest of our readers as it would bloat and blur it.

Another reason for separating them is to not raise the importance of the rainbow flag over the pride flags of the other sub communities like trans, lesbian, ace, aro, intersex and so on, which all are also pride flags. Raladic (talk) 14:52, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Presently a discussion is going on, which may be of interest to this WikiProject, at Talk:List of animated series with LGBT characters: 2020–present#Splitting off 2020-2024 entries into new article when 2025 begins? about whether to split off the 2020-2024 entries of LGBTQ+ characters in January 2025 or to leave the article as is.

Let Them See Us

Hi!

I just translated an article about Polish bilboard LGBT campaign Let Them See Us into English. If somebody could check my gramar and vocab, I would be glad.

Also, it has only one reference, but so does the Polish article? Do you want me to find something more on the Polish net?

Best wishes

-- Kaworu1992 (talk) 02:41, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Yes you should probably try to find more reliable sources for your new article at Let them see us as the bar can be higher on the English Wikipedia for notability or else someone may nominate the article for deletion. Raladic (talk) 02:48, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi ;-)

I found some resources. The article is, I think, finished, link is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Let_them_see_us

I wanted very badly to add some Gazeta Wyborcza reference, but sadly, no querry resulted with a link to an article T_T

Please, tell me if I need to do something else with this article ;-)

Best wishes
