Redirect or disambiguation page?

Hi, I undid your conversion of Vaginism from a redirect to a disambiguation page. I can't find anything either in our article that was added to the disambiguation page, Gender-critical feminism, nor in searches in multiple sources (Google, proquest, and ebscohost). If I've missed something, feel free to discuss it here by pinging me. Since you're fairly new here, you may find Wikipedia:Disambiguation (which covers when to have a dab page and what sorts of articles to include) and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Disambiguation pages (which covers how those dab pages and entries on it should be formatted) interesting. Happy editing and hope to see you around more! Skynxnex (talk) 22:35, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

@Skynxnex Hi @Skynxnex:, I have changed the page into a disambiguation page due to the usage of the word "vaginist" to refer to gender-critical feminists on social media. Since I'm new to editing Wikipedia, I am expected to make mistakes as I go along. Could you check with me so that I can learn more about what I should do or not? Antitransphobe (talk) 23:26, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Social media is a bit vague? Although searching X it seems to very occasionally used that way. I think for dabbing it it needs a bit more usage, particularly since it's not mentioned in Gender-critical feminism. Sometimes discussions about whether something should be a redirect or a disambiguation page takes place at WP: Redirects for discussion. Hope that makes some sense? Skynxnex (talk) 23:37, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

@Skynxnex That's some food for thought. How relevant should something be in order to deserve being included in Wikipedia? I'm not sure whether the term being used on social media warrants making the edit like this one. Antitransphobe (talk) 00:03, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

This is a tricky place where there's a lot of good faith disagreement about how common a (honestly negative?) term needs to be in order to be a redirect and/or on a disambiguation page. If you can find any usages outside of strictly social media or it gets much more common there, I'd say it's fair to disambiguate. And if it has general reliable source coverage, it might be due for the target article too. WP:RNEUTRAL has some related thoughts.

I was going to mention potentially adding it to wikt:vaginism but I see you already did :) Skynxnex (talk) 21:17, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Trans Kids Deserve Better draft

I hope you don't mind, but I just did some polishing up of Draft:Trans Kids Deserve Better -- some basic standard Wikipedia page things (bolding the title, adding an "official website" link, some readability things (breaking up run-on sentences), and a little WP:POV fix (we can't use the group's website to say that things are getting worse for trans youth, even if it's true; we have to put that as their perspective.) The biggest thing was I bulked it up, not so much to put more information, but to put more and particularly non-queer-specific sources. Not that there was anything wrong with your sources (Pink News is good; I'm not actually familiar with Them), but when trying to demonstrate notability and get something through AfC, it can help if the sources don't seem to be narrowly tailored.

Also, for future note: "notoriety" doesn't just mean "fame", it means specifically "bad fame". (A lot of folks trip over that, when they generally want "notability", which is not-specifically-bad fame) I've cleared out that word.

I hope you're okay with my changes. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 21:30, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Jumping in here as well, I helped polish up the draft adding some formatting and expanded on some of the details with adding a few more sources to support the article and content.

I hope you like the additions. Raladic (talk) 23:00, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Honestly, you and @Your Friendly Neighborhood Sociologist have done a great job expanding the article. As a new editor, I appreciate your effort that I can learn from.

I dont' have much time to write new articles, but now I can rely on your edits so that I can learn on how I should expand the articles.

When the article should be submitted for review? I don't want to make a serious blunder for the first time, as I know that reviewing drafts often take a lot of time. Antitransphobe (talk) 11:14, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

I think as it stands the article should be ready for review, so you can probably go ahead and submit it :) Raladic (talk) 14:57, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll do it. One more thing, have you considered becoming a new page reviewer so that creating trans-related pages will go smoother? I don't have enough experience and so I'm not fit for the role, at least at this time. Antitransphobe (talk) 15:15, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

I might consider it in the future :)

Currently I spend most of my time WP:WIKIGNOMEing by adopting articles for improvement, occasionally writing new articles and recently I've been pretty busy in the move of LGBTQ and related sub-topics.

In the meantime, if you plan to create more articles, you can always ask for feedback on the relevant forums as you already did with this one (which is how we found it), and also you can come join the WP:LGBTQ+ WikiProject where you can post on the talk page to attract other editors interested in the space.

Happy editing :) Raladic (talk) 15:38, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief 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. Void if removed (talk) 08:12, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Should this change be reverted?

This change looks suspicious but I am not familiar with the show or Wikipedia's policies. I do personally think the change from her to him is definitely in poor taste.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Transparent_(TV_series)&oldid=1251881116 134.215.117.33 (talk) 03:42, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

That looks like vandalism to me, but I'm also not sure which template I should use when warning other users about their pronoun changes. I think it's Template:Uw-pronouns1.

The removal of the words "cisgender" also looks pretty sus to me. If they want to make pronoun changes, they should give evidence that these are used in TV series or to start a new discussion about them. Antitransphobe (talk) 11:34, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
