Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:

• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• Simplified Manual of Style

You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply create a named account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:

• Create new pages and rename pages
• Edit semi-protected pages
• Upload images
• Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed

Note that in order for the first three features to be available, you must have had an account for a certain number of days and made a certain number of edits.

If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (24.138.76.242) is used to identify you instead.

I hope that you, as a Wikipedian, decide to continue contributing to our project: an encyclopedia of human knowledge that anyone can edit. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or you can to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~).

Happy editing! Innisfree987 (talk) 05:07, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

RuPaul's Drag Race (season 2)

Wikipedia has a policy of no personal attacks, and repeated violations can result in blocks. Even if your perspective is completely correct, this is not an excuse for making personal attacks. By using uppercase text to SHOUT at other editors or denying their right to an opinion, you make it less likely that what you want will happen. I want the same outcome that you do. But calm, rational explanations are the way to achieve this.

If deadnaming is a trigger for you, I suggest that you refrain from participating in the RfC further. You have made your point, and there are much more important things to do in life than editing Wikipedia pages about RuPaul's Drag Race. If you want to improve Wikipedia, can I suggest that you find an LGBT-related page which needs expanding and look for reliable sources with which to improve them? (Category:Stub-Class LGBT articles might be a good place to start.) — Bilorv_(c)(talk) 15:06, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

Can I suggest you drop the condescension? tx 24.138.76.242 (talk) 08:17, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I understand why you’re upset about how Wikipedia handles transgender people’s names; I am too. The policy against personal attacks is firm though, no matter how reasonable the ire. If you continue to leave edit summaries this one, there’s a real chance of an admin blocking you from editing at all. I personally would strongly prefer we continue to have your contributions—Bilorv made some good suggestions about places you might like to work—so I hope you’ll please be mindful about Wikipedia policies. Hopefully with your help we can improve the site’s coverage of LGBT topics. Innisfree987 (talk) 19:10, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Discussion at Talk:RuPaul's Drag Race#RfC on names of transgender contestants

 You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:RuPaul's Drag Race#RfC on names of transgender contestants. Innisfree987 (talk) 00:08, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi there, I've noticed the discussion that's going on here, and while I fully understand your position in the discussion, your tone in the discussion is a bit on the combative side, and that's really not the best way to debate things and convince people to see your perspective. I understand you're point of view on this is strong, and that can lead to heated discussions, but please try and keep it calm. Cheers! :) stwalkerster (talk) 00:32, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
