I would like to G, but am too busy right now to write one. It's a good idea though. We can say what the situation is, without needing external sources. The article I wrote at wp was intended only to be a basis for other people to add to, and in no way comprehensive. A full article would take a while...

ChristopherJ - if you want to put up a web page with the advice from the previous article, I can send you the text.

The article has been through the mill lately, mainly thanks to an admin called JzG who considers it his duty to the world, to remove all traces of it by hook or by crook. I don't know the exact nature of his prejudices, but again and again he has shown them. Firstly, he "speedily deleted" ...

CR, the "undue weight" defence is probably rubbish. Anything that is "notable" can be given its own article, even if it isn't very well known.

Deletion review initiated. Anyone can participate in this. Please do so! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review#Men_in_skirts And pass the word to other MIS/MIK forums - I will leave that to people who are members of them. We have 5 days to debate it and make our votes count. Note th...

JzG has now deleted the discussion we were having on the MIS talk page, and the help that User:Ezeu had been giving us on how to challenge it. (Is JzG's irrational prejudice blatant enough yet? - it was him who deleted the article last year aswell). I am asking Ezeu for his help - http://en.wikipedi...

There is *always* a conspiracy! It's called "what people think". And what people think about a fairly radical subject can be very polarised. A few of them might even get together and Form Opinions. And the loudest of them will always be the most vociferous opponents, whether they admit it ...

Article gone

Apparently, similar articles have been writen in the past. It has been endlessly debated, and admins have deleted them. They consider it a minority subject, not worth more than a side mention in the article "Skirt and dress". There is also a problem of not having enough offline supporting ...

PS. Thank you for the compliment. I'm sure that if we met up in RL, we'd get along just fine. It's just that we have different views on how this article should proceed. I do see your point of view, but I don't agree with it. Leave it 6 months, and maybe you can edit the article without me noticing :...

Christopher, if you choose to take my arguments personally, that is your choice. My only concern is the quality of the article, and its purpose as an introduction to MIS for joe bloggs. It is you who have started with insults, calling me a pratt; and I've suddenly lost interest in this debate. I thi...

Do you really think, if I put C's photo in the article, everyone will be perfectly happy? This debate is just the primer for the deluge that will come, if C wins it. There are people hidden in the wings, as yet unseen.

"lipstick, crinolines and bright pink tutus"

On further reflection, this sounds like me on a really wild day.

That's a pretty good idea, B+B. I wonder if that title could be shortened though ;D The negative feedback, although strong and loud, has come mainly from 2 people. That's 2 against 1 - odds I am more than capable of handling, without hardly getting out of bed in the morning :) The trouble here is th...
