I liked the picture - actually you are sort of right - I *do* think there is a cabal but I think that about *every* subject area here. I think that articles tend to work best when they have a mixture of people who are passionate about a subject and those who don't care or look at it with a more analytical eye. The fighting between the two then leads to better quality articles. Take the Violence article - that's better sourced now from me asking difficult questions. So I do think that the editors at the LGBT wikiproject will close ranks but I'd think the same of the gundam project or the House project or the Newcastle FC wikiproject. Don't confuse that to mean I think that those issues have an equal *importance* to a LGBT or other civil rights issues in a real world context but that the nature of people forming sub-organisational groupings such as wikiprojects lends itself to the development of cultures which start to think "this is how we do thinks here". Where I think it's slightly more problematical with emotive issues such as race, civil rights or the LGBT experience is that, by their very nature, they tend to attract people who a) are strongly affected by the issues or b) are homophobes, racists etc and the two tend to butt heads. Am I saying that I'm a homophobe or a bigot - no - but I know I am a blunt rude prick, so I can understand the confusion... --[[User:Cameron Scott|Cameron Scott]] ([[User talk:Cameron Scott|talk]]) 19:25, 12 May 2009 (UTC) |

The "relist" tag is added whenever an AFD is extended for another 7 days. It doesn't require that the AFD be "closed" or "delisted". It's standard practice to use this tag when extending a discussion and if you view any AFD log [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Log/2009_May_10|such as this one]] you will see numerous discussions with the same tag. See [[Wikipedia:Deletion_process#Relisting_discussions]] for more information. --[[User:Ron Ritzman|Ron Ritzman]] ([[User talk:Ron Ritzman|talk]]) 02:17, 13 May 2009 (UTC) |
