Hey there; I hope JFW won't mind my having stepped in! As for dispensing medical advice, that isgenerallyfrowned upon :) I'll try to see about working some of that information into the proper sections (and properly reworded) as soon as I can.

Eek! I have tried everything and it doesn't work! May I suggest you place your message above the card, and tell her about the problem. Then she can trash it and not incobvenience others. My sincerest apologies. And happy holidays--I'd drop a card o your page too, but then you'd also have trouble! Jeffpw (talk) 20:56, 14 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Thanks a lot, Kyoko! I got called out into the field and couldn't do anything. I have an merry hour ahead of me now.

That clear thing ({{-}}) I added to Alison's page, was something to do with the new code I gave her, for some reason your image wasn't showing up, and it wasn't being placed inside the colored area, so that's a quick fix until I can figure out what I screwed up in her talk page code, lol. For my page, I removed it, and I doubt you'll have to put that anywhere else. What that does is force all new comments under the picture, which shouldn't be required for anyone else. I'll have to figure out why it is for Ali's page, lol. Thank you so much for the picture! I haven't seen a real Christmas tree in decades, so that's the closest I will get, thank you so much hon. ~*Hugs*~ Ariel♥Gold15:49, 16 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Yeah it is something with the page that's transcluded, the colored background. I just redid that page recently, and probably screwed something up, lol. I might have to change the way it works, we're still working out the kinks, lol. Ariel♥Gold16:04, 16 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Alison's uses .css code, (not div tags) but if you notice, hers is different from yours or mine, because she has three separated boxes, that break up the background. Plus, hers is transcluded, while ours isn't. I just haven't looked at it, because I'm tired, lol. Easier just to add a clear tag after the picture for now. lol.

Hello White Cat, I wanted to check if you had further questions concerning our recent conversation. I archived my talk page because it was getting lengthy, and I will be taking a wikibreak soon. I hope you didn't interpret my message archival as a way to brush you off. It just seemed as if you had no further questions, based on your contribs. Happy editing, Kyoko15:48, 13 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
None I can think of :) -- Catchi? 18:11, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
Happy birthday, Kyoko. :) We all love you and wish you many many more. (I don't think I'm only speaking for myself.) ;) — $PЯINGεrαgђ 05:25 29 December, 2007 (UTC)
Oh goodness, I never knew :( Hope you had a wonderful day! My mum always tells me having a birthday at the end of the year makes things easier (she was born on the 31st of December) :) Take care, ~ Riana ⁂04:35, 2 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Looks like I can't stay off your back for long (I should have, I guess, since Bengali Language Movement and Biman Bangladesh Airlines). But, copy remains a problem, and I am generally lost at the beginning of a copy overhaul (the fine finishing is beyond my capacity, I guess).
This time it's about Sitakunda Upazila, which has so much copy problem that Miranda had to take it off GAN. More seriously, this time we have an even lesser number of editors participating in the development drive (including the the peer review). Ragib and AA are not around, Lara and Sandy did some tweaking (it was mostly Amartya who guided me, but not in the copy area).
PLEEEASE... this article needs help, and it shows a lot of promise to get to the highest standards with a little help. You can also let me know the specifics that need development, ask questions and anything that needs my involvement (of course, I'll be working beside you anyways). Help. Aditya(talk • contribs)07:02, 2 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Here's something to help you
Very sorry to hear that you're not well. Even more sorry that there is nothing I can do to make you feel better. About the article - Keeper76, a member of the LOCE, has done a wonderful job fixing the copy (not the reorganization part), excluding the leade and the pilgrimage section. I'm working on it now. I can definitely wait for your help, I can't do without it. But, for now, it's more important that you feel good. Wishing better days for you with all my spirit. Aditya(talk • contribs)06:26, 9 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Sorry for being late, but here it goes - THANKS for the help. I hope you'll check it more when you feel better. I have tried to answer your questions and meet the issues you raised. Please, check. I have also posted an update on the article talk page. Aditya(talk • contribs)10:52, 14 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
No problem, dear. Real life always has this way of sneaking upon a unwary Wikipedian. I'll try to fix the copy and organization as much as possible, and take it to GAN. When you come back, there will still be something or other for you to do. Right now, I wish you all the success in whatever that is taking you away from Wikipedia. Good luck, and lots of love. I'll miss the feeling of basking in sunshine when talking to you, especially in these fogged out cold days. Cheers. Aditya(talk • contribs)01:12, 26 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Your talk page has been re-protected from moves. :) I think I know why it has to be protected that way, don't worry. Anyway, yes, I had a good New Year, and I hope your birthday and New Year were good too. Best wishes. Acalamari03:37, 9 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hello, bonjour, こんにちは! I very occasionally come across your writing on the wiki, and you're still as insightful as ever. (And did I mention that anyone who is a fan of Masamune Shirow must be a cool person by definition? ;-) ) --Kim Bruning (talk) 17:28, 12 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Ms Julie is .. unavailable .. this month, so Isaac and Gopher have stepped in to put this newsletter thing together. We may not be as funny as you're used to, but if you'd like a free drink, come see me at the bar. That might help. Maybe. And no, there aren't any flashing lights or fancy pictures this month - I'm still recovering from a whopping hangover. Julie's recovering too, but that's a story I'll let her tell.
Two New Featured Articles (and...)
Emma Goldman was promoted to Featured status on 2007December 27. If you don't know Ms. Goldman, she was a Lithuanian anarchist. Aren't many of those around, really, so having one of our very own is special. She'll be dancing the Cha-Cha on the Promenade deck later tonight.
Ann Bannon was promoted to Featured status on 2007December 3. Faithful readers may remember Moni moaning that we didn't mention this promotion in the last newsletter. Happy now?
The marathon efforts of Dev920 against her astonishing abilities of procrastination continued this month, and she managed to update the Portal's main articles. Whether she will finally beat her procrastination pixies in submission and update the biographies remains to be seen, but Jeffpw has leapt to the rescue and taken it upon himself to do all our lovely news. Friends, lend us your goodwill and your eyeballs, and mosey on over to see all Jeff's hard work.
Also, back in October 2007, Allstarecho and Benjiboi worked diligently on the "WP:LGBT Random Quote" and "WP:LGBT Random Picture" sections of the portal. They added many new quotes and pictures but, and yes here's the cat's meow friends... you can now use these on your own user pages! To add the "WP:LGBT Random Quote" to your own userpage, use: {{Portal:LGBT/Quotes}} And to add the "WP:LGBT Random Picture" to your own userpage, use: {{Portal:LGBT/Pics}} If you'd like to see it in action, check out Allstarecho's userpage for both in action and Benjiboi's talk page for the Quotes in action!
The long, slow race toward FP status continues...
Bisexual Awareness Month
Folks in Utah are celebrating Bisexual Awareness Month. For our own wikicelebration, Alison suggests we try to bring Bisexuality at least up to good article status. Working on the Utah article would be encouraged, but do it stealthily - they don't like us to be *too* open.
A cunning plan
In a move sure to bring her fame and fortune at last, Dev920 (talk·contribs) has proposed that an FA buddying system be set up, to help nudge frightened tikes who also happen to write killer ass articles over that initial first FAC hurdle. Anyone interested in shepherding duties, or anyone interested in being made to lie beside still waters (handcuffs are optional), do drop Dev an RSVP so she can start battering those darned pixies...
Zigzig20s has mentioned a desire to work on .. desire. Specifically literature by and about LGBT desire. To facilitate "LGBT Literature" taskforce, there will be shuffleboard and lesbian fiction on the foredeck later in the afternoon. Signup if you're interested.

The chart at the top of the page, Image:EM_Spectrum3-new.jpg, must be incorrect, because some of the sun's UV rays do penetrate the Earth's atmosphere. If they did not, people would not be able to get tanned or sunburned naturally. --Kyoko 21:00, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Project member Moni3 has been working on the article for Barbara Gittings and noted that the Lambda Literary Foundation used the lead paragraph from Wikipedia, skillfully and lovingly written by Moni3, verbatim in the Lambda Literary Pioneers calendar. Moni3 contacted the Lambda Literary Foundation to let them know, and to ask if we could get a little write-up in the next Lambda Book Report. There is a preliminary text you can find here. Feel free to add to it. It should be no longer than 1,000 words, and it needs to be submitted by March 15.

Hello and welcome to this, the first ever edition of the WikiProject Theatre Newsletter! If you haven't been over to the WikiProject page lately then you're missing out - the whole thing has undergone a complete makeover - see below for more info!
On top of this, we have brand spanking new templates (such as this one) and a completely revamped Collaboration of the Month - again, see below for more info on all of this.
Finally, a warning - the new-look WikiProject is still having the finishing touches put on it. If you find something that doesn't work, you don't agree with or is just plain missing, please don't hesitate to let us know on the WikiProject's talk page. We'll try our very best to fix ASAP!
New Look
As mentioned above, the WikiProject has recently undergone a spring-clean and we're dead excited about it! If you don't mind - we'd like to take this opportunity to explain some of the features and generally show off about it a little.
Colour scheme Those clashing colours have gone! All pages on the WikiProject now use two consistent shades of blue as part of the new streamlined interface (Those techies amongst us may wish to know that the precise names of the colours we use are: "lightsteelblue" for headings and "#c0e0e0" for backgrounds).
Navigation Menu Every page on the WikiProject now has the official WikiProject navigation menu so you can easily flick between pages and get back to the main project page. Say goodbye to clicking the back button several times!
To Do list/Open Tasks If you're stuck on what to do to help us then a list of the most important tasks is now available on the main page - no more excuses! At the moment, the list is looking a little short so if you have found something that you think ought to be added, then feel free to edit the list and let us know. Please refrain from linking to a specific article that generally needs an overall update. Single articles like this should be nominated for a future Collaboration of The Month - see below.
Article Structure This is a first for the WikiProject and is still under construction. What is the Article Structure page? Well, it's basically a rough guideline of sections to include when creating theatre-related articles - in particular, plays. As the scope of this WikiProject is so large, some sections of the Article Structure won't apply to all articles and other sections which will apply to a small cross-section of our article base have not been included in this Article Structure page. If you feel we have missed out something crucial which needs adding to most or all theatre-related articles then feel free to discuss it on either the Article Structure talk page or the main WikiProject talk page
Templates
All of the project's templates are now arranged in one handy page. Whilst we were going through we also noticed some that were missing. We have now added new templates in the form of:
{{WPTWelcome}} - a welcome tag to be placed on the talk page of a new user.
{{User WPTheatre}} - a userbox for members of the project.
{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Theatre/Sidebar}} - this template should be added to the side of any/all pages within the project to help navigate between project pages.
{{WPTheatre User}} - the template containing the latest edition of the WikiProject Newsletter (you're looking at it now!)
Collaboration of the Month
Ok, so this isn't exactly a new feature. It's always been there but has never really been updated on a, ahem, monthly basis (the clue is in the title!). The Collaboration of the Month (COTM) is now in template form to enable it to be streamlined across the Project, without having to be manually updated on each page. Don't worry if we've lost you at this point - the point is, it works! You can now nominate an article for COTM on the COTM page and we promise to adhere to it this time! It will be updated monthly!
The more sharp-eyed amongst you may well have noticed that the COTM at the moment is still that old fella, August Strindberg. That's because no-one has nominated a COTM for this month (being a new feature an' all...) so we've decided to leave it as it is for this month until a new one has been democratically voted for.
And finally...
Thanks very much for reading down this far - hopefully future newsletters won't be this long! Please, if you can, invite new members and drop us a line over at the talk page to let us know what you think of the new look/newsletter and any suggestions you may have.
You have received this newsletter because your name is on the list of Participants on the WikiProject page. If (like most of the old WikiProject) this information is out of date and you no longer wish to receive the newsletter, please remove your name from the Participants list and also click here to stop receiving the newsletter.
