  Hello, I'm Shellwood. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Domestic violence in lesbian relationships— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks. Shellwood (talk) 20:51, 16 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi! Where can I find some suggestions on how to approve my edit? CaEmJackson (talk) 20:53, 16 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

One issue with your edits is that you placed much of the content as a section header like this

Domestic violence within lesbian relationships is the pattern of violent and coercive behavior in a female same-sex relationship wherein a lesbian or other non-heterosexual woman seeks to control the thoughts, beliefs, or conduct of her female intimate partner.[1] In the case of multiple forms of domestic partner abuse, it is also referred to as lesbian battering.[2]

The lead paragraph doesn't have a section header (MOS:LEAD). Section headers, additionally, are just headers. They should be a word or a phrase. They should not contain content nor references (MOS:HEAD). The rest of your edit was alright, but the above editor found it easier to click undo rather than manually revert the wrong parts.
