WikiQueer:What WikiQueer is not
This page documents an English WikiQueer policy, a widely accepted standard that all editors should normally follow. Changes made to it should reflect consensus. |
This page in a nutshell: There is no practical limit to the amount of information on WikiQueer. However, WikiQueer is an encyclopedia, and does not contain all data or expression found elsewhere on the Internet. Although anyone can be an editor, there are community processes and standards that make WikiQueer neither an anarchy, democracy, nor bureaucracy. |
Guiding principles |
Core content policies |
Other content policies |
WikiQueer is an online encyclopedia and, as a means to that end, an online community of individuals interested in building a high-quality encyclopedia in a spirit of mutual respect. Therefore, there are certain things that WikiQueer is not.
Style and format
WikiQueer is not a paper encyclopedia
WikiQueer is not a paper encyclopedia, but a digital encyclopedia project. Other than verifiability and the other points presented on this page, there is no practical limit to the number of topics WikiQueer can cover, or the total amount of content. However, there is an important distinction between what can be done, and what should be done, which is covered in the Content section below. Consequently, this policy is not a free pass for inclusion: articles must abide by the appropriate content policies, particularly those covered in the guiding principles.
Keeping articles to a reasonable size is important for WikiQueer's accessibility, especially for slower connections and mobile browser readers, since it directly affects page download time (see WikiQueer:Article size). Splitting long articles and leaving adequate summaries is a natural part of growth for a topic (see WikiQueer:Summary style). Some topics are covered by print encyclopedias only in short, static articles, but we can include more information, provide more external links, and update more quickly. For some of the other ways in which WikiQueer differs from a paper publication, see the WikiQueer:Manual of Style.
In any encyclopedia, information cannot be included solely for being true or useful. Although there are debates about the encyclopedic merits of several classes of entries, consensus is that the following are good examples of what WikiQueer is not. The examples under each section are not intended to be exhaustive.
WikiQueer is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files
WikiQueer is neither a mirror nor a repository of links, images, or media files.[1] WikiQueer articles are not:
- Mere collections of external links or Internet directories. There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of WikiQueer. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate. See WikiQueer:External links for some guidelines.
- Mere collections of internal links, except for disambiguation pages when an article title is ambiguous, and for lists to assist with article organization and navigation; for these, please follow the guidelines outlined at WikiQueer:Stand-alone lists#Lead and selection criteria.
- Mere collections of public domain or other source material such as entire books or source code, original historical documents, letters, laws, proclamations, and other source material that are only useful when presented with their original, unmodified wording. Complete copies of primary sources may go into Wikisource, but not on WikiQueer. Public domain resources such as 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica may be used to add content to an article (see Plagiarism guideline: Public-domain sources for guidelines on doing so). See also WikiQueer:Do not include the full text of lengthy primary sources and Wikisource's inclusion policy.
- Mere collections of photographs or media files with no text to go with the articles. If you are interested in presenting a picture, please provide an encyclopedic context, or consider adding it to Wikimedia Commons. If a picture comes from a public domain source on a website, then consider adding it to WikiQueer:Images with missing articles or WikiQueer:Public domain image resources.
WikiQueer is not a blog, webspace provider, social network, or memorial site
WikiQueer is not a social network like Twitter or Facebook. You may not host your own website, blog, wiki, or cloud at WikiQueer. WikiQueer pages are not:
- Personal web pages. WikiQueerians have their own user pages, but they may be used only to present information relevant to working on the encyclopedia. If you are looking to make a personal webpage or blog or to post your résumé, please make use of one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account. The focus of user pages should not be social networking, or amusement, but rather providing a foundation for effective collaboration. Humorous pages that refer to WikiQueer in some way may be created in an appropriate namespace, however.
- File storage areas. Please upload only files that are used (or will be used) in encyclopedia articles or project pages; anything else will be deleted. If you have extra relevant images, consider uploading them to the Wikimedia Commons, where they can be linked from WikiQueer.
- Dating services. WikiQueer is not an appropriate place to pursue relationships or sexual encounters. User pages that move beyond broad expressions of sexual orientation are unacceptable. However, you very well may make new friendships as you go about improving the encyclopedia.
- Memorials. Subjects of encyclopedia articles must satisfy WikiQueer's notability requirements. WikiQueer is not the place to memorialize deceased friends, relatives, acquaintances, or others who do not meet such requirements. Note that this policy does not apply outside of the main article space. While using user space to create a memorial is generally not acceptable, limited exemption applies to the user space of established WikiQueerians who have died. At a minimum it is expected that they were regular contributors, and that more than one tenured WikiQueerian will have used the deceased user's page (or an appropriate sub-page) to add comments in the event, and after verification, of their death.
If you are interested in using the wiki technology for a collaborative effort on something else, even if it is just a single page, there are many free and commercial sites that provide wiki hosting. You can also install wiki software on your server. See the installation guide at MediaWiki.org for information on doing this. Scratchpad Wiki Labs also allows personal wikis. See also WikiQueer:Alternative outlets.
Many of the content restrictions listed above apply to your user page and user talk page as well. Your user page is not a personal homepage, nor is it a blog. More importantly, your user page is not yours. It is a part of WikiQueer, and exists to make collaboration among WikiQueerians easier, not for self-promotion. See User page help for current consensus guidelines on user pages
WikiQueer is not a manual, guidebook, textbook, or scientific journal
WikiQueer is an encyclopedic reference, not an instruction manual, guidebook, or textbook. WikiQueer articles should not read like:
- Instruction manuals. While WikiQueer has descriptions of people, places and things, an article should not read like a "how-to" style owners manual, advice column (legal, medical or otherwise) or suggestion box. This includes tutorials, walk-throughs, instruction manuals, game guides, and recipes.[2] If you are interested in a "how-to" type of manual, you may want to look at wikiHow, How to Wiki or Wikibooks.
- Travel guides. An article on Paris should mention landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, but not the telephone number or street address of your favorite hotel, nor the current price of a café au lait on the Champs-Élysées. WikiQueer is not the place to recreate content more suited to entries in hotel or culinary guides, travelogues, and the like. Notable locations may meet the inclusion criteria, but the resulting articles need not include every tourist attraction, restaurant, hotel or venue, etc. Such details may be welcome at Wikitravel or Wikia travel instead.
- Video game guides. An article about a computer game or video game should summarize the main actions the player does to win the game. But avoid lists of gameplay weapons, items, or concepts. Detailed coverage of specific point values, achievements, time-limits, levels, types of enemies, character moves, character weight classes, and so on are also considered inappropriate. A concise summary is appropriate if it is essential to understanding the game or its significance in the industry. See WQ:VGSCOPE.
- Internet guides. WikiQueer articles should not exist only to describe the nature, appearance or services a website offers, but should also describe the site in an encyclopedic manner, offering detail on a website's achievements, impact or historical significance, which can be kept significantly more up-to-date than most reference sources, since editors can incorporate new developments and facts as they are made known. See the Current events portal for examples.
- FAQs. WikiQueer articles should not list frequently asked questions (FAQs). Instead, format the information provided as neutral prose within the appropriate article(s).
- Textbooks and annotated texts. WikiQueer is an encyclopedic reference, not a textbook. The purpose of WikiQueer is to present facts, not to teach subject matter. It is not appropriate to create or edit articles that read as textbooks, with leading questions and systematic problem solutions as examples. These belong on other wiki projects, such as Wikibooks, Wikisource, and Wikiversity. Other kinds of examples, specifically those intended to inform rather than to instruct, may be appropriate for inclusion in a WikiQueer article.
- Scientific journals and research papers. A WikiQueer article should not be presented on the assumption that the reader is well versed in the topic's field. Introductory language in the lead and initial sections of the article should be written in plain terms and concepts that can be understood by any literate reader of WikiQueer without any knowledge in the given field before advancing to more detailed explanations of the topic. While wikilinks should be provided for advanced terms and concepts in that field, articles should be written on the assumption that the reader will not or cannot follow these links, instead attempting to infer their meaning from the text.
- Academic language. Texts should be written for everyday readers, not for academics. Article titles should reflect common usage, not academic terminology, whenever possible.
- Case studies. Many topics are based on the relationship of factor X to factor Y, resulting in one or more full articles. For example, this could refer to situation X in location Y, or version X of item Y. This is perfectly acceptable when the two variables put together represent some culturally significant phenomenon or some otherwise notable interest. Often, separate articles are needed for a subject within a range of different countries, due to substantial differences across international borders; articles such as "Slate industry in Wales" and "Island Fox" are fitting examples. Writing about "Oak trees in North Carolina" or a "Blue truck", however, would likely constitute a POV fork or original research, and would certainly not result in an encyclopedic article.
WikiQueer is not a crystal ball
WikiQueer is not a collection of unverifiable speculation. All articles about anticipated events must be verifiable, and the subject matter must be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred. It is appropriate to report discussion and arguments about the prospects for success of future proposals and projects or whether some development will occur, if discussion is properly referenced. It is not appropriate for editors to insert their own opinions or analyses. Predictions, speculation, forecasts and theories stated by reliable, expert sources or recognized entities in a field may be included, though editors should be aware of creating undue bias to any specific point-of-view. In forward-looking articles about unreleased products, such as films and games, take special care to avoid advertising and unverified claims (for films, see WQ:NFF). In particular:
- Individual scheduled or expected future events should only be included if the event is notable and almost certain to take place. Dates are not definite until the event actually takes place. If preparation for the event is not already in progress, speculation about it must be well documented. Examples of appropriate topics include the 2012 U.S. presidential election and 2020 Summer Olympics. By comparison, the 2020 U.S. presidential election and 2036 Summer Olympics are not appropriate article topics if nothing can be said about them that is verifiable and not original research. Avoid predicted sports team line-ups, which are inherently unverifiable and speculative. A schedule of future events may be appropriate if it can be verified. As an exception, even highly speculative articles about events that may or may not occur far in the future might be appropriate, where coverage in reliable sources is sufficient. For example, ultimate fate of the universe is an acceptable topic.
- Individual items from a predetermined list or a systematic pattern of names, pre-assigned to future events or discoveries, are not suitable article topics, if only generic information is known about the item. Lists of tropical cyclone names is encyclopedic; "Tropical Storm Alberto (2016)" is not, even though it is virtually certain that a storm of that name will occur in the North Atlantic and will turn counterclockwise. Similarly, articles about words formed on a predictable numeric system (such as "septenquinquagintillion") are not encyclopedic unless they are defined on good authority, or genuinely in use. Certain scientific extrapolations are considered to be encyclopedic, such as chemical elements documented by International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry before isolation in the laboratory.
- Articles that present original research in the form of extrapolation, speculation, and "future history" are inappropriate. While scientific and cultural norms continually evolve, we must wait for this evolution to happen, rather than try to predict it. Of course, we do and should have articles about notable artistic works, essays, or credible research that embody predictions. An article on Weapons of Star Trek is appropriate; an article on "Weapons to be used in World War III" is not.
- While currently accepted scientific paradigms may later be rejected, and hypotheses previously held to be controversial or incorrect sometimes become accepted by the scientific community, it is not the place of WikiQueer to venture such projections.
- WikiQueer is not a collection of product announcements and rumors. While WikiQueer includes up-to-date knowledge about newly revealed products, short articles that consist only of product announcement information are not appropriate. Until such time that more encyclopedic knowledge about the product can be verified, product announcements should be merged to a larger topic (such as an article about the creator(s), a series of products, or a previous product) if applicable. Speculation and rumor, even from reliable sources, are not appropriate encyclopedic content.
WikiQueer is not a newspaper
As WikiQueer is not a paper source, editors are encouraged to include current and up-to-date information within its coverage, and the development of stand-alone articles on significant current events. However, not all verifiable events are suitable for inclusion in WikiQueer. Ensure that WikiQueer articles are not:
- Journalism. WikiQueer should not offer first-hand news reports on breaking stories. WikiQueer is not a primary source. However, our sister projects Wikisource and Wikinews do exactly that, and are intended to be primary sources. WikiQueer does have many encyclopedia articles on topics of historical significance that are currently in the news, and can be updated with recently verified information.
- News reports. WikiQueer considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion. For example, routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia. While including information on recent developments is sometimes appropriate, breaking news should not be emphasized or otherwise treated differently from other information. Timely news subjects not suitable for WikiQueer may be suitable for our sister project Wikinews. See also: WikiQueer:Notability (events)
- Who's who. Even when an event is notable, individuals involved in it may not be. Unless news coverage of an individual goes beyond the context of a single event, our coverage of that individual should be limited to the article about that event, in proportion to their importance to the overall topic. (See WikiQueer:Biographies of living persons for more details.)
WikiQueer is not an indiscriminate collection of information
As explained in the policy introduction, merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. WikiQueer articles should not be:
- Summary-only descriptions of works. WikiQueer treats fiction in an encyclopedic manner, discussing the reception and significance of notable works in addition to a concise summary. For more information regarding plot summaries, see WikiQueer:Manual of Style (writing about fiction)#Plot summaries. Similarly, articles on works of non-fiction, including documentaries, research books and papers, religious texts, and the like, should contain more than a recap or summary of the works' contents.
- Lyrics databases. Most song lyrics published after 1922 are protected by copyright, and any quotation of them must be kept to a minimum, and used for the purpose of direct commentary or to illustrate some aspect of the style. For songs in the public domain the article should not consist solely of the lyrics (Wikisource should be used for such articles instead), but should instead provide information about authorship, date of publication, social impact, and so on. Quotations from an out-of-copyright song should be kept to a reasonable length relative to the rest of the article, and used to facilitate discussion, or to illustrate the style; the full text can be put on Wikisource and linked to from the article. Never link to the lyrics of copyrighted songs unless the site linked to clearly has the right to distribute the work. See WikiQueer:Do not include the full text of lengthy primary sources for full discussion.
- Excessive listings of statistics. Long and sprawling lists of statistics may be confusing to readers and reduce the readability and neatness of our articles. In addition, articles should contain sufficient explanatory text to put statistics within the article in their proper context for a general reader. In cases where this may be necessary, (e.g. Nationwide opinion polling for the United States presidential election, 2008), consider using tables to enhance the readability of lengthy data lists.
WikiQueer is not censored
WikiQueer may contain content that some readers consider objectionable or offensive, even exceedingly so (see WikiQueer:Content disclaimer). WikiQueer cannot guarantee that articles or images will always be acceptable to all readers, or that they will adhere to general social or religious norms.
Since anyone can edit an article and most changes made are displayed immediately, inappropriate material may appear before it can be removed. Content which is obviously inappropriate (such as an irrelevant link to a shock site, or clear vandalism) is usually removed quickly. Content that is judged to violate WikiQueer's biographies of living persons policy, or that violates other WikiQueer policies (especially neutral point of view) or the laws of the U.S. state of Florida where WikiQueer's main servers are hosted, will also be removed.
However, some articles may include text, images, or links which some people may find objectionable, when these materials are relevant to the content. Discussion of potentially objectionable content should not focus on its offensiveness but on whether it is appropriate to include in a given article. Beyond that, "being objectionable" is generally not sufficient grounds for removal of content.
Nor will WikiQueer remove content because the internal bylaws of some organizations forbid that information to be displayed online. Any rules that forbid members of a given organization, fraternity, or religion to show a name or image do not apply to WikiQueer because WikiQueer is not a member of those organizations.
The above policies are about WikiQueer's content. The following policies apply to WikiQueer's governance and processes.
WikiQueer is not an anarchy
WikiQueer is free and open, but restricts both freedom and openness where they interfere with creating an encyclopedia. Accordingly, WikiQueer is not a forum for unregulated free speech. The fact that WikiQueer is an open, self-governing project does not mean that any part of its purpose is to explore the viability of anarchistic communities. Our purpose is to build an encyclopedia, not to test the limits of anarchism.
WikiQueer is not a democracy
WikiQueer is not an experiment in democracy or any other political system. Its primary but not exclusive method of determining consensus is through editing and discussion, not voting. Although editors occasionally use straw polls in an attempt to test for consensus, polls or surveys sometimes impede rather than assist discussion.
Straw votes should be used with caution, and are no more binding than any other consensus decision. Elections and votes are only endorsed for things that take place outside WikiQueer proper, such as when electing the Arbitration Committee.
WikiQueer is not a bureaucracy
While WikiQueer has many elements of a bureaucracy, it is not governed by statute: it is not a moot court, and rules are not the purpose of the community. Written rules do not themselves set accepted practice. Rather, they document already existing community consensus regarding what should be accepted and what should be rejected. When instruction creep is found to have occurred, it should be removed.
While WikiQueer's written policies and guidelines should be taken seriously, they can be misused. Do not follow an overly strict interpretation of the letter of policy without consideration for the principles of policies. If the rules truly prevent you from improving the encyclopedia, ignore them. Disagreements are resolved through consensus-based discussion, rather than through tightly sticking to rules and procedures. Furthermore, policies and guidelines themselves may be changed to reflect evolving consensus.
A procedural error made in a proposal or request is not grounds for rejecting that proposal or request.
WikiQueer is not a battleground
WikiQueer is not a place to hold grudges, import personal conflicts, carry on ideological battles, or nurture prejudice, hatred, or fear. Making personal battles out of WikiQueer discussions goes directly against our policies and goals. In addition to avoiding battles in discussions, do not make changes to content or policies just to prove a point to someone with whom you disagree.
Every user is expected to interact with others civilly, calmly, and in a spirit of cooperation. Do not insult, harass, or intimidate those with whom you have a disagreement. Rather, approach the matter intelligently and engage in polite discussion. If another user behaves in an uncivil, uncooperative, or insulting manner, or even tries to harass or intimidate you, this does not give you an excuse to respond in kind. Address only the factual points brought forward, ignoring the inappropriate comments, or disregard that user entirely. If necessary, point out gently that you think the comments might be considered uncivil, and make it clear that you want to move on and focus on the content issue. If a conflict continues to bother you, take advantage of WikiQueer's dispute resolution process. There are always users willing to mediate and arbitrate disputes between others.
In large disputes, resist the urge to turn WikiQueer into a battleground between factions. Assume good faith that every editor and group is here to improve WikiQueer—especially if they hold a point of view with which you disagree. Work with whomever you like, but do not organize a faction with the main goal of disrupting WikiQueer's fundamental decision-making process, which is based on building a consensus. Editors in large disputes should work in good faith to find broad principles of agreement between different viewpoints.
Do not use WikiQueer to make legal or other threats against WikiQueer, WikiQueerians, or The Aequalitas Project—other means already exist to communicate legal problems.[3] Threats are not tolerated and may result in a ban.
WikiQueer is not compulsory
WikiQueer is a volunteer community, and does not require the WikiQueerians to give any more time and effort than they wish. Focus on improving the encyclopedia itself, rather than demanding more from other WikiQueerians. Editors are free to take a break or leave WikiQueer at any time.
And finally...
WikiQueer is not any of a very long list of terrible ideas. We cannot anticipate every bad idea that someone might have. Almost everything on this page made it here because somebody managed to come up with some new bad idea that had not previously been anticipated. (See WQ:BEANS—it is in fact strongly discouraged to anticipate them.) In general, "that is a terrible idea" is always sufficient grounds to avoid doing something, provided there is a good reason that the idea is terrible.
When you wonder what to do
When you wonder what should or should not be in an article, ask yourself what a reader would expect to find under the same heading in an encyclopedia.
When you wonder whether the rules given above are being violated, consider:
- Changing the content of an article (normal editing)
- Changing the page into a redirect, preserving the page history
- Nominating the page for deletion if it meets grounds for such action under the Deletion policy page. To develop an understanding of what kinds of contributions are in danger of being deleted you have to regularly follow discussions there.
- Changing the rules on this page after a consensus has been reached following appropriate discussion with other WikiQueerians via the Talk page. When adding new options, please be as clear as possible and provide counter-examples of similar, but permitted, subjects.
WikiQueer:Articles for deletion/Common outcomes is not official policy, but can be referred to as a record of what has and has not been considered encyclopedic in the past.
See also
- ↑ The English WikiQueer incorporates many images and some text which are considered "fair use" into its free content articles. (Other language WikiQueers often do not.) See also WikiQueer:Copyrights.
- ↑ The how-to restriction does not apply to the project namespace, where "how-to"s relevant to editing WikiQueer itself are appropriate, such as WikiQueer:How to draw a diagram with Dia. Also, in the main namespace, describing to the reader how other people or things use something is encyclopedic; instructing the reader in the imperative mood about how to use something is not.
- ↑ If you believe that your legal rights are being violated, you may discuss this with other users involved, use WikiQueer's contact form, contact The Aequalitas Project, or in cases of copyright violations notify us at WikiQueer:Contact us/Article problem/Copyright.

EBHS Unleashed
Staff and volunteers of the Elmbrook Humane Society will be blogging about what's going on at the society, as well as other observations about life in Wisconsin.
The mission of the Elmbrook Humane Society is to promote the human-animal bond through adoption and education, to provide shelter to homeless animals, and to prevent animal cruelty and neglect. EBHS services the city of Brookfield, the villages of Butler, Chenequa, Elm Grove and Nashotah, and the towns of Brookfield and Delafield. EBHS shelters unwanted pets and strays, and rescues injured domestic animals and wildlife, provides resources for individuals with companion animals and provides Humane Education to schools and civic groups.
Visit our web site at www.EBHS.org.
New Leader of the EBHS Pack!
Today is my favorite day of the year! It is otherwise known as the first day of school for Elmbrook School District, and my two girls are now back in school. Summer never seemed so long when I was a kid, but as an adult with kids, I know I am not alone in my happiness that it is finally over!
Summer is now over, and I am about to begin a new chapter in my life, and my tenure here at Elmbrook Humane Society.
Join EBHS at Stir Crazy on September 19th! Half Price Dinner Fundraiser!
The only thing I love more than animals is food (much to my husband's dismay). Fortune has smiled upon me and Elmbrook Humane Society in the form of a fundraiser at the brand new restaurant Stir Crazy, which is opening at Brookfield Square later this month. They are having 4 trial runs for their wait-staff, and EBHS was selected to be a recipient of their Friday night trial run. We are going to fill up the restaurant for them on Friday night between 6 and 8:45pm to raise money for the shelter.
The best part is that the food is 1/2 price! I can order twice as much! Follow the link here to make your reservation. I will be dining with Carol and two friends that night, and I hope to see everyone there!
Falling in Love During Fall
The shelter has been pretty quiet lately. We have had some adoptions, and fortunately, many cats were adopted during our cat and kitten adoption promotion. Fall is already creeping up on us, it seems. While some people can feel depressed at the end of the summer, I could not be happier.
Night of the Living Chupracabas
When I first heard the word, I could not understand what the staff was talking about. Why do kittens have Chupracabas under their skin? I had recently watched a very lengthy documentary on the National Geographic Channel about Chupacabras - who are according to eyewitnesses supposed to be small little devil animals that kill small animals by sucking out their blood. Despite the teasers for the show, there were no real Chupracabas found and I was disappointed after an hour of being promised evidence of their existence.
Is Your Dog a Dingo?
We had a visit from a dog that was adopted here a few months ago that we had named Dingo - because he looked like a dingo. His new family got one of those new DNA tests. The test costs about $65 and it told us that he was part German Shepherd, Pekingese, Cairn Terrier and Alaskan Malamute. A true Heinz 57. You would have never thought any of those breeds were in this dog, but we were fascinated by the results of the test.
When people come into the shelter, they often expect dogs to be a mix of two purebreds. Most often there are many mixes in there and there is no way to know for sure what mix the dogs are. Sometimes a puppy will look like one breed and when they grow up they look totally different. We can make estimates of how big a dog will get, but there are never any guarantees. I have met a lot of people over the years who thought they were adopting a small dog and wound up with a dog you could saddle if you wanted.

Brookhaven residents hope days of 'dry' town numbered
BROOKHAVEN — Hundreds of residents braved Saturday's inclement weather to sign a petition that could ultimately lead to the borough securing a liquor license.
A "dry" town since its founding, council members, and obviously many residents, believe that the borough will benefit greatly if a restaurant that serves alcoholic beverages is permitted to operate in Brookhaven.
"Our goal is to have a family-style restaurant like The Olive Garden, Outback Steakhouse or Carrabba's open in our community," said Councilman John Wilwert. "It's tiring for our residents to have to leave town to have a drink with their meal."
During a recent meeting of council, Solicitor Mike Maddren explained that for a referendum question to be placed on May's primary ballot, it is first necessary to obtain 1,096 valid signatures on a petition.
On Saturday afternoon, council members manned the tables at borough hall while a steady stream of residents signed their names on the petition.
"I think having a restaurant that can serve liquor will bring in more revenue for the borough and make the town more appealing to businesses," said Debbie Barcus. "It will definitely be an improvement."
Don Cassidy, who has resided in the borough for nine years, said Brookhaven has enough Chinese restaurants, steak and hoagie shops, and is in need of a well-known restaurant.
His wife, Angel agreed.
"We had a really nice Italian restaurant here a few years ago that moved out of the borough because they could not sell liquor," said Angel. "I also think business people will come here for lunch and dinner. It's really inconvenient to have to leave our community to eat at other places. If we get this (liquor license), we can stay right here in Brookhaven,"
According to Maddren, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board can issue one license per 3,000 residents of each county. Continued...
Because the ratio has been exceeded in Delaware County, it will be necessary for any license to be transferred to Brookhaven through an intermunicipal transfer.
The transfer must first be approved by borough council after a special hearing. The borough currently has a population of 8,000 residents; therefore, council would have the right to protest the transfer of the first three liquor licenses with the liquor control board. Any license issued after the first three will need to be approved by council.
"We do not want a corner bar," said Councilwoman Donna Fooks. "We really do want a nice, family-style restaurant that has the ability to serve alcohol in our borough."
Real Estate Agent Karen Dauber, who was on-hand to sign the petition, said having a restaurant able to sell alcohol will definitely help with home sales.
"A lot of young couples are moving to Brookhaven," she said. "My view is that Brookhaven can be somewhat like a mini-Media. We have a lot of nice events and it will be great to see Edgmont Avenue booming with business."
Councilwoman Susan Rendler-Truesdale said the 1,096 required number of signatures must be gathered and certified by March 12.
Residents desiring to sign the petition may do so at the borough office during regular business hours and on Monday night during the council work session, which begins at 7 p.m.

Classy, slim fit shirt.
I have a small waist but an athletic upper body. I am also not tall but average height. I always have problems with buying classic cut shirts that is my neck size because my neck and upper body would be one size, but there would be so much excess material around my waist and stomach area. This causes a sloppy look. The Body Slim Fit shirt fits me well because it accommodates my neck and upper body, yet is a nice tailored fit by the waist area without the excess material.

Romney, in switch, says Obama healthcare a tax
A Romney campaign aide said on Monday that the former Massachusetts governor viewed it as a penalty, a politically sensitive distinction among voters opposed to higher taxes. In reversing course, Romney cited the Supreme Court decision last week.
"Well, the Supreme Court has the final word and their final word is that Obamacare is a tax," Romney said in a CBS television interview. "So it's a tax. They decided it was constitutional. So it is a tax and it's constitutional."
Obama's campaign accused Romney of contradicting both his staff and himself.
When the Supreme Court upheld the healthcare law as constitutional last week, it also declared that the fee charged to most Americans who refuse to buy health insurance amounted to a tax — and not a penalty, as Obama has called it.
On the campaign trail, this was red meat to Republicans who accuse Obama of imposing the biggest tax in U.S. history through his insurance mandate.
They maintain it disproves the president's stance that he has not raised taxes on the middle class.
Romney's campaign, however, on Monday in effect undercut his party's assault on the president over healthcare. A campaign spokesman, Eric Fehrnstrom, said Romney did not see the mandate as a tax but as a penalty, just as Obama had said.
Romney rejected, however, any conclusion that a healthcare insurance mandate had been a tax when he implemented one as Massachusetts governor, something Obama has called a model.
The states need not call an individual mandate a tax for it to be constitutional, Romney summarized the Supreme Court as having concluded. "And as a result, Massachusetts' mandate was...a penalty, was described that way by the legislature and by me, and so it stays as it was," he said.
Danny Kaner, an Obama campaign spokesman, accused Romney of contradicting both his own campaign and himself.
"Romney has called the individual mandate he implemented in Massachusetts a tax many times before," he said, supplying a list of quotations going back to 2006.
Romney's remarks on healthcare put him more squarely in line with Republican conservatives who have long feared that he is not truly one of their own.

Notre Dame College second at NWCA national duals
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — The Notre Dame Wrestling Falcons had their run to a third National Duals title stifled by St. Cloud State (Minn.) on Sunday.
No. 7 Notre Dame (5-1) dropped No. 3 (National Wrestling Coaches Association) Central Oklahoma, 19-13, in the semifinals of the NWCA Multi-Divisional National Duals. The Falcons — winners of the NAIA division at the Duals in 2010 and 2011 — then lost to No. 4 St. Cloud, 17-14, in the championship match.
"We made a strong showing," said NDC coach Frank Romano. "We really wrestled well all weekend and against some very talented teams. I'm proud of our student-athletes and coaches, who have worked so hard in gearing up for this tournament. We came up just short of our goal, but we grew as a wrestling team, and that will help us down the road."
Over the two-day event, NDC went a combined 25-15 in 40 bouts. The Falcons faced the three teams — No. 2 Newberry (S.C.), Central Oklahoma and St. Cloud — that came into the National Duals ranked two, three and four in the NWCA Division II Coaches Poll. In their last three appearances on National Duals mats (NDC did not compete in 2012 because it was not yet a full-fledged NCAA-II member), the Falcons are a combined 11-1.
Sunday's loss halted one streak and extended another: dating back to Nov. 22, 2009, Notre Dame had won 22 straight dual matches before the meeting with the Huskies. St. Cloud Huskies (11-0 this season) have now won 37 dual matches in a row.
On Sunday, it was a clutch victory over Central Oklahoma that vaulted Notre Dame into the championship match. The Falcons defeated the Bronchos, 19-13, in a contest that went down to the wire. Johnny Papesh, Maurice Miller, Joey Davis, Eric Burgey, Brandonn Johnson, and Orlando Scales all earned victories in the six-point win. Trailing 10-6 after the 157-pound bout, Joey Davis came up big for NDC when he earned a 13-4 major over Chris Watson.
Notre Dame kept that momentum going, with Burgey, Johnson, and Scales picking up decisions in three of the final four bouts.
That victory sent NDC into the championship match against a 10-0 St. Cloud squad defending its 2011 NWCA D-II National Duals title.
The fourth-ranked Huskies went into the title match having defeated its three foes by a combined score of 96-28.
The match against SCSU was an up-and-down, see-saw affair that saw the Huskies pull ahead, 10-3 through four bouts. Back-to-back-to-back wins by Jeffrey Pelton, Davis and Eric Burgey vaulted the Falcons to a 12-10 lead, but No. 2-ranked Shamus O'Grady then picked up four key points with a 12-3 major over Charles Mason. Continued...
Down, 14-12, with two bouts remaining, Brandonn Johnson took to the mat with his 13-5 season record, and he upped that mark to 14-5 with a 7-2 win over Chris Brassell. Johnson finished the weekend with a 3-1 record in four bouts.
Johnson's victory put NDC on top, 15-14, and sent the match to the heavyweight bout with just one point separating the teams.
That heavyweight bout would be a battle between two ranked combatants —— No. 2 Jake Kahnke and No. 4 Orlando Scales
In a bout that had a 1-0 score until the final moments in the third period, Kahnke — a senior who entered the tournament with a career mark of 101-12 — emerged victorious, 3-0.

Since we are still under the influence of TS Debby, we are just barely 80º, breezy & cloudy. Our humidity is 84% right now. But we will be back into the high 90s later this week! "The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion | ||||
WoW, that's cool...it is like autumn. We've reached 101° twice this week......had a good day today, only 90.

We woke up to a surprise this morning...only 60º! But it won't last long as our predicted high for the day is 91º. Nothing lower than that in the near future and hitting the 100s this weekend.

If it hasn't already been requested, I'd really like see Starlight Speedway by Rocket Ship Resort on the PS3
Hey, welcome to the RBN folder! I'm glad to hear you rediscovered Rock Band 3 and that you've been having such a good time with the keyboard. I play pro keys sporadically myself (I'm mostly a vocalist) but the RBN has some great songs for it.
Like LiveHomeVideo said, this thread is specifically for requesting existing Xbox 360 songs to come over to the PS3. The reason why the two platforms don't automatically have the same songs available is that the RBN is based on Microsoft's technology and bringing songs from Xbox to PS3 requires extensive work (both at Harmonix and at Sony).
With that said, I think a lot of people share your enthusiasm for Nightwish and would love to see them in the game! (And I'm confident that, if Nightwish songs come out on Xbox, they'll be headed to PS3 pretty promptly.)
I would love to see the other Chaotrope songs, there are 18 different ones on xbox 360 but only 2 on ps3.

No sooner has Phil put the car in gear, than the conversation comes fast and furious – as insightful, irreverent and inspiring as you've come to expect.
So, hop in the back seat and buckle up because your friends in podcasting are about to burn some serious rubber on the information superhighway!

Two weeks ago was my birthday. This year was a big one… the big three-oh! Rick was so great and took me out to an oyster bar for amazing seafood. And he bought me pearls. See how great he is – oysters, pearls.
To me pearls are real-life grown up jewelry. Ladies wear pearls. Not girls. I'm not normally a jewelry person, but I loved this gift. Totally appropriate for a thirtieth birthday. He got me a set; a necklace, bracelet and earrings.
The necklace was a bit longer than I preferred, so we decided to see if we could exchange it or have it shortened. We went to the jewelry store the day after new years. It was very busy in there. Lots of newly engaged couples getting their rings sized to fit their fingers. The guy behind the counter helping us was also helping one of these couples. We had our three kids with us and they were behaving very well for being in a jewelry store.
As our sales guy bounced back and forth between us and the newly engaged couple, I heard the woman talking about how she had to go home, across the country, and was hoping the ring would be done before she had to leave. So I joked with the guy that he should go ahead and take care of them, saying we've been married almost ten (nine, actually in February) years and that we were not going anywhere. I motioned to my three kids behind me, implying that they were proof of our comparatively long relationship. Some jokes were made about not seeming old enough to have been married so long, and then he lays it on…
He says, "Yeah, kids can make you feel old. I used to work at a laser tag place. There were days, after all those kids, I'd come home feeling like I was thirty!"
Wow. Thirty. I can't imagine.

Chester Upland officials explain vote on recovery
Three Republican members of the Chester Upland School District board clarified the reasons they voted against adopting the financial and academic recovery plan developed by Chief Recovery Officer Joseph Watkins, saying voting in favor of the plan would have meant implementing it exactly as written.
The board voted against adopting the plan Monday in a 5-4 decision that split down party lines and allows the Pennsylvania Department of Education to seek a receivership for the district.
Republican board members Wanda Mann, Baltazar Rubio and LaKisha Blackwell said Thursday that they voted against the plan because the board's varied modifications had been denied and they did not believe they would have much influence going forward.
"Do you sign the contract as it's given to you and then negotiate the terms?" asked Rubio, the board's vice president. "Or do you go ahead and negotiate the terms of the contract and then sign it?
"We've got to read the plan, negotiate the plan and come to the points that we believe are beneficial to the kids that we know. When we negotiate this, then we can agree to it. They didn't give us any leeway."
The Republicans said they suggested several modifications at various meetings, but that those requests were denied.
Solicitor Leo Hackett said the board would have greater influence arguing its case in court than it would requesting modifications as Watkins implemented the plan.
Hackett said the state has until Monday to petition the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas for a receiver. The court then has seven days to hold a hearing and another 10 days to render a decision.
Hackett said there are a number of issues that can be argued in court, not only in regard to whether a receiver is appropriate, but some pertaining to the legality of the plan itself.
"It's not just an automatic receiver," Hackett said. "The whole situation is not over yet. ... It's not the end of the issues." Continued...
Watkins' plan called for school closures, staff cuts and tax increases while restoring art and music programs throughout the district and adding various service programs. It was dependent on the district regaining students lost to charter schools and the procurement of private donations and an endowment.
It also required the district to make Adequate Yearly Progress by the end of the 2014-15 school year.
Blackwell called the probability of attaining those marks "totally unrealistic." Rubio said the plan's two-year time frame is designed to "dismantle" Chester Upland into a district of charter schools.
The Democrats who voted to implement the plan said they did not like portions of the plan, but that voting in its favor was their only way to maintain an active role in the direction of the district.
Mann, the board president, said the board would have been "voiceless" in that case, noting that Watkins had denied its request to keep the STEM magnet high school housed at Smedley High School and Stetser Elementary open. The schools are among the district's better-performing schools.
The Republicans added that they asked for a five-year timetable to meet AYP and for a moratorium on charter schools, but that those requests also were denied.
"Even when we brought them up," Rubio said, "they didn't listen to them. They didn't care to hear it."
Watkins declined to respond to the Republicans' accusations Thursday, saying they were free to state their opinions. He said he would allow the plan to speak for itself.
Tim Eller, spokesman for the Department of Education, simply forwarded a portion of the Public School Code when asked whether the board could have recommended modifications after the plan had been approved.
The code states the recovery officer must consult with the board and superintendent regarding any revisions to the recovery plan. Any revision must be approved by the school board and the state secretary of education. Continued...
Anthony Johnson, a Democratic board member, refuted many of the Republicans' remarks Thursday, saying the board had plenty of chances to voice its opinions and that modifications were made along the way.
He said some modifications, including the request for a five-year timetable, were suggested too late in the process.
Johnson said the Republicans should have had better attendance at both community meetings and weekly board sessions hosted by Watkins. Johnson said he never heard the community request the board step aside in favor of a receiver.
"I wasn't 100 percent with the plan, but the community was fine with the plan," Johnson said.
Johnson also claimed the Republicans voted against the plan because the Democrats are likely to gain control of the board following the 2013 municipal election.
"To me, they're crying over sour milk," Johnson said. "They voted no. They have to live with that. They just sold their community and their children out."
Rubio does not view the board's decision that way.
"We're going to fight for our kids," he said. "Because this is all this is about in the long run."

Enter a magazine title or keyword
Ever since the Garden of Eden, people have been fascinated by snakes, and this magazine is for anyone who falls into that category. If you want to know how to feed your python, iguana or frog, turn to Reptiles, the magazine for people who own or breed snakes and amphibians. Each issue provides expert advice and news about species, their care, health, diet and conservation through informative features, columns and brilliantly colored photographs.
I have been receiving Reptiles for over three years now, and it has helped me more than I can express. The reptile room in my estate has about 150 reptiles and amphibians, and they have covered at least a third of them in their magazines since I have subscribed! They give detailed and accurate information in every issue. You won't be disappointed! This is a must have for the serious Herper.
I have been receiving "Reptiles" for many years, and I have NEVER been disappointed in what comes in the mail. Over the years I have seen staff members come and go, but the quality and the professionalism of this magazine never changes. Through "Feast or Famine" the dedication that the staff at "Reptiles" shows is nothing short of fantastic. There is no publication anywhere in the world that can compare. Thanks for all the memories guys and gals. You have made the this old herper a happy man. I look forward to many more years of reading "Reptiles".
Reptiles magazine is continuing fodder for my reptile/amphibian passion. Wonderful information especially for beginner hobbyists! They provide many different perspectives on the hobby as well as breeding information, stunning photographs,reptile games and comics and bios on top breeders and legendary herptologists. The tempo is always fun and upbeat. I look forward every month to this magazine and have booked subscriptions two years in advance! --Kate!--

Unlike other bi-fold door locks, this one has a 6"L handle, so it's easier to access — even if you're petite. Simply pull the handle to one side to release the lock. Keeps kids out of pantries and closets, and keeps little fingers from getting pinched. See Product Details

Comments about KidCo Bi-Fold Door Lock with Handle:
I used these in my bathroom closet and in the babies' bedroom to keep them out of their closet. Literally in place within seconds of opening package and good enough deterrent to make them move on and stop trying to open closet.
Bi-fold Door Lock
By Jasper
from Marlborough,MA
We had a bi-fold door built in a doorway in our two separate two cats from fighting and to give them their own equal half of the house. This product is PERFECT! We like it because of the low visibility and ability to easily move from either side. Our next order is on the way.
Not impressed
By Lynette
from Boston ma
About Me First Time Parent
Not impressed at all still was too much space even w/insert snap in plastic piece. Could still open stores a little stick finger in and close on it. If it was thinker to fit all size doors thinner & thick then it would be good. Know someone who has them was recommended by them & theirs work good. Not happy about the return policy either, cost more to ship back after already paying for shipping not worth the $ to return. They should cover one shipment back if customer is not happy, like most other places. Think that shows that a lot if people must not be happy w/ their products Will not buy from here again Not the only thing I bought that I was not happy with.

This really keeps bi-fold doors closed, and it's easy to use. The only caveat is that the operating "rod" is a seperate piece, and might be easily lost.
pretty good
By lavi
from TN
It seems like a wonderful idea, but it didn't work that great for us:( I mean it stops easy access to the closet, so the child stays away from it, but i wouldn't trust it if it came to letting the child in the room by himself(to nap there- for example). While we're there together & he just plays in his room-he's almost 2 yrs old-i'm ok with it.So, it was worth the money, that's for sure.
Love it!!!! Best [$] I've spent!!

About Me Parent of Multiples (Twins etc)
Got this for my pantry door since my twins loved going in & pulling everything out! Moving food to higher shelves was of no use since they are excellent climbers. This item is perfect! Problem solved. Easy to use. Just wished I bought it sooner.... will definitely be ordering more for my hall/linen closet... Highly recommend.
LOVE these
By Christah

We have numerous sets of Bi-fold doors in our house including over our laundry room, these were PERFECT,inexpensive, [...] and they are not complicated to use or install at all! i would recommended these to anyone!
Great idea
By TwoUnder2
from West Virginia
These are great for preventing my almost 2 year old from pinching her fingers in the closet doors.
Love it!!!!!
By working mom
from IL
Love it....but must buy with handle. More expensive...but worth it. I use this to keep my 5 yr old daughter out of her closet. Had to lock up her clothes so she would stop changing her outfits 6 times a day. Less laundry. Also like it for our food pantry...kids can't get snacks whenever they want. Must buy!!!
They work.
By Gaga
from Maryland
The cheaper ones did not work on my daughters' doors. These work fine.
Just what I was looking for
By Nicki
from Iowa
Most have purchased this item to prevent a child from accessing an area that they didn't want them in. For me I bought it to prevent a pet from accessing a room. I have a bi-fold door to an upstairs room that I use to store crafts and family momentos and so it is off limits to my cats. Recently, they figured out how to open the bi-fold door. I tried blocking it with a doorstop, a brick, a cement statue and nothing worked. I always came home to find the door open. I had previously tried a different bi-fold door lock but it didn't fit properly. This lock fit my bi-fold door perfectly since it allowed for a larger width door. It slides easily over the top of the door so that I can access the room frequently with no problems. This lock is a little pricey but it was worth every penny. I can now keep not only my cats out of the room but it also keeps my niece from wandering upstairs too when she visits.
Great prooduct. Keep my daughter safe
By Suzanne
from New York
Great product. Keeps my daughter away from things she should not be getting into. Easy to install. A little more expensive than I think I should be.
