Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Doug Weller talk 12:27, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics[edit]

You have recently been editing gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them which has been designated a contentious topic. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;

comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;

follow editorial and behavioural best practice;

comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and

refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

CS1 error on MeToo movement[edit]

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page MeToo movement, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

A "bare URL and missing title" error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 10:23, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries[edit]

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that edit summaries should generally be on the short side, as they appear in a long list in the article history. Something like "2. Thank you, Bilorv, for your correction regarding the edit I made to this article. I can see you are very experienced as a Wikipedia editor and so I trust your judgment, and will not counter it. It is important to be fair given the sensitive nature of this subject. It is great how Wikipedia allows for the gradual improvement of their articles." should either be shortened to something like "Thank you for your correction, Bilorv", or left on Bilorv's user talk page and not in an edit summary. Thanks! QuietCicada - Talk 02:36, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense. Thank you, Cicada. I will keep this in mind in the future and focus on keeping the descriptions of edits short, and if there is a need for a discussion I will take it to the TALK page. Empathy Heart (talk) 16:44, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Profile is no longer active. Best wishes.[edit]

You may have seen I reverted some of my own edits.

In case you are wondering. The revision I carried out at 18:59 on February 7, 2024, reversed the changes I had previously made on January 20 and 21 + October 22 and 24, 2023.

The revision I made 13:09, 8 February 2024 also included an edit from January 20. Thank you so much for respecting the revision.

The edits are all done carefully, and only my edits have been changed.

Have a great day.

I closed my profile. Thank you.[edit]
