Civil Marriage, Registered Parnership, Civil Unions, Unregistered Cohabitaion and Domestic partnership.

A few things

[edit]
Resolved.

Shouldn't the article titles be Gay rights in Iran not Gay Rights in Iran? Also, wouldn't this article be more aptly named Gay rights by country since it seems most other articles use that format... or do you you plan to address things that make that title not fit... and, if you do, I would still recommend Gay rights by country to house the references to all of the country articles while any issues that are not related to countries could go here... otherwise this would overflow with country and supra-country issues..... gren 08:58, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

uhh, well, I changed them all... and added "the" where it was necessary... and fixed some other things... gren 09:43, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Will Gay rights by country be deleted?

[edit]

I was thinking of creating new articles called "Gay rights in Canada," "Gay rights in the United States," etc. by moving sections from "Gay Rights." Would that still be okay given the reorganization you are doing?

Are you removing all the existing "Gay Rights in (individual country)"? If so, where will that content go?


Wuzzy 19:42, 19 December 2005 (UTC) What does the title have to do with anything?Discussing the title is not helping the poor people who are being hurt all because of their sexuality!!!!!!!-april23 onle15[reply]

Whats going on?

[edit]

What does the message in the beginning mean? I assume that the information will be taken into Homosexuality laws of the world and then this page will be redirecting to this page. LiangHH 14 Mar 2006

I did not flag the article for deletion because it has some text on types of relationships that should be merged with the header of Category:Marriage, unions and partnerships by country, and possibly elsewhere. By the way, your signature date is wrong. Wuzzy 17:44, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for realizing my idea in Homosexuality laws of the world. But what other infromation can be extracted from here? I'd delte it and redirect to the other page. My time? Its Chinese time and im too lazy too convert it into UTC. LiangHH 16 Jan 2006 UTC+8

Why not use alphabetical order?

[edit]

There is no explanation of why, for example, Nigeria comes first in the Africa column, or China in the Asia column. My guess is that they're ordered by population, which is a really strange way of doing it as most people won't know by heart exactly where in a column to look for, say, Panama. Why on earth not put them in alphabetical order? I've downgraded its rating from B to Start for this reason, and because there's just the one line of introduction, which itself does not explain the order. 81.153.106.191 17:33, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Either seems fine to me. The current version has the advantage of putting the most prominent countries first, and the most obscure ones last. Further, if a user is looking for a particular listing, he's likely just going to use the browser's find function if he doesn't see it immediately. Fireplace 17:42, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The current sort seems unwieldy. It took a bit of time to find Russia, which is at the top of Europe, for this reason, and couldn't fathom the sort order until I read the talk page. Someone looking for a less populous country would have to scan or search, which doesn't seem helpful. Any objection to alphabetical within the regions? MeekSaffron 18:29, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I totally agree that an alphabetical listing would be far more intuitive and easier to use. Why expect people to use the browser's find function? That is not good design, it takes a lot more time than a quick scroll to the letter you want, and not everybody is even aware of the existence of such feature in browsers!! The first instinct of most people is to look alphabetically. Prominence is relative, and how do you decide between two similar countries? Prominent to whom and where and how? --Sandrog 09:35, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aaah! I see why no one has bothered to fix it yet! The wiki-code makes you enter the information in rows, not columns, which takes longer to work out and type!--Sandrog 09:56, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ditch the table, replace with alpha-sorted sections?

[edit]

The current list is hard to navigate and is basically messy. Can we ditch it and replace with sections in alpha-order? Benjiboi 19:52, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I completely agree with this. It is extremely difficult to sort countries into a particular order with a table, and this would also cause problems when a new country becomes independent, thus requiring a new LGBT rights article. (e.g. the recent independence of Kosovo) Ted Ted (talk) 17:03, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've atarted creating a list to replace the table, but it will take time, so bear with me, please. Ted Ted (talk) 17:12, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As I think about it a table by each continent might be useful. If you are working on this presently you might want to use {{underconstruction}} or {{inuse}}. Benjiboi 00:07, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps we do have an alpha list and wikilink to the appropriate table? Benjiboi 00:08, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
