Thanks for this edit :) Just one point, though - the fact that it was done by an administrator doesn't really lend any additional weight to the argument. Admins are only editors, just like anyone else on here - we're not 'special' :) - Alison ❤ 20:28, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
Thanks, Alison ❤, I appreciate what you do. Newsoas (talk) 10:00, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for creating Ilario, A Story of the First History, Newsoas!
Wikipedia editor Schuy B. just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:
Good start, synopsis does need some expansion.

Hi, I've just moved this article back to Sexual orientation and the Australian Defence Force as this name is consistent with that of similar articles (please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Sexual_orientation_and_military_service ). Regards, Nick-D (talk) 00:34, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
Rather than linking to Iain Morland's list of publications, would it perhaps make sense to add a reference to this specific article?

Jim's a great guy, and his work is amazing but I'm not sure if he meets Wikipedia:Notability, especially per WP:BLP1E. Mind if I check with him first, just in case he really doesn't want one? (they can be a burden, too) - Alison ❤ 07:19, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Third International Intersex Forum.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 01:06, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
On this reversion by you: Plenty of the subcategories of Category:Photography by genre can be criticized as crossing better-established genres. You appear to want Category:Photography about intersex treated as no other subject matter is treated: put directly in Category:Photography. Do you think it merits special treatment? If so, why? If not, what are you proposing?
Please reply here. Thank you. -- Hoary (talk) 01:30, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
Do you think there should be "Category:Photography by subject"? I'm not completely opposed to the idea myself, but if it were done then a number of "genres", perhaps most of them, should be "subjects" (the change being a tedious but fairly straightforward job); and more problematically a number could be either. How about something like "Category:Photography by genre or subject"? This would avoid tiresome argument over which side of the divide this or that lies; and as there wouldn't be many subcategories I think it would be very easy to use, for at least the next five years and for all we know the next twenty. (It could of course be subdivided later.)
NB a change from "Category:Photography by genre" to "Category:Photography by genre or subject" would be non-trivial; and even if you agree that it's good, the potential minuses merit a couple of days' sporadic thought before it's started. If the mass change of categories is a bore, then its reversion because somebody has brought up an irritatingly sound objection is far worse. (I speak from experience.) -- Hoary (talk) 01:49, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
Yes, if there were "Category: Photography by subject" then "(Category:) Medical photography" should belong to it. But I'd like to make sure that I understand what it is that you're suggesting. Is it that "Category: Photography by subject" should be started, alongside (neither above nor below) "Category: Photography by genre", and directly below "Category: Photography"? -- Hoary (talk) 02:28, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
Again, I'm not against it. But jeez, 21 subcategories and 97 pages to be thought about, from Paparazzi (surely neither a genre nor a subject of photography) to Dog shaming (WTF? sorry I mean probably a genre) to Night photography (don't know, perhaps both?). Would you be up for half of the work required? (Me, I need a break for lunch. I need nutrients just to think about this job.) -- Hoary (talk) 02:48, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
Aha, just before I have my long-delayed lunch, interesting discoveries. Wandering around the directory tree shows that "... by topic" (rather than "subject") is the approved approach. (See Category:Works by topic -- and yes, there do exist the occasional use of "subject area", "theme" and perhaps more.) Thus "Category:Photography by topic". To me, this is curiously unidiomatic. ("She's a photographer? Really? What's her topic?" Odd.) But idiomaticity aside, the meaning of "topic" seems close enough to that of "subject", and conforming with standard practice hereabouts is much less likely to cause frustration and time-wasting. (And I see that there's already a half-hearted attempt at Category:Photographs by topic.) -- Hoary (talk) 03:15, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
That was an excellent lunch, but sorry perhaps my brain isn't yet firing on all cylinders. Populate which category? (If Category:Photographs by topic, then NB this is "photographs"). -- Hoary (talk) 04:31, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
Sorry to have kept you waiting, but I have been doing something. Of the "topics":
People who frequent the page (offhand I forget its title) where requests to rename categories are considered love consistency. They'll want good reasons why "topic" should be "subject" just for photography and not for all the others. (And if you say, "OK, for all the others as well", the rejoinder will be "Why?".)
"Australian photographs" itself doesn't make sense. Does it cover a visiting Brazilian's photos of Australia, or a visiting Australian's photos of Brazil? (If it covers both, it's meaningless.)
The idea of "photography by country" is itself a bit dodgy, but it's basically "photography in that country", though it rather shoots itself in the foot by adding photography by people from that country.
Not topics but genres: Candid photography, Dog shaming, Glamour photography, Lifestyle photography, Lolcat, Photobombing, Selfie, Street photography, Travel photography
Just to take one example: "travel photography" might for you include Tokyo; to me Tokyo is home. I've been to NSW and my photography there was travel photography, I'm sure constrained by (pre-Flickr) assumptions and lack of imagination. Generic stuff indeed!
Perhaps both topics and genres: Mug shot, Night photography, Rogues gallery, Spirit photography. And indeed probably War photography and much else. The thing is, pressures to conform tends to turn (theoretically open) topics into (more or less closed) genres. The majority of practitioners of photography (like those of anything else) tend to follow ruts. Yes, even most of the pros.
Paris in Motion (photography) looks to me like an ad. Red Shirt School of Photography looks like a genre, if anything-- though with its miScaPitalized title, it looks to me like somebody's early sketch for something in their MFA course, and anyway a dubious fit in WP.
Perhaps Category:Photographic techniques: Geophotography
Perhaps both Category:Photographic techniques and (as the medium becomes the message) genres: Color photography, Infrared photography, Panorama, Panoramic photography. Comments? -- Hoary (talk) 05:57, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
