Welcome!

Hello, Emilyygee, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Editing toolbar

Hello, I saw that you are a student that will be working on the Lipstick lesbian article as a course assignment. This message is simply to make you aware of the formatting used in the Wikipedia article (WP:CITEVAR: "If the article you are editing is already using a particular citation style, you should follow it 1 "). Cite sources with citation templates. Enable the editing toolbar: in your Preferences > Editing > Editor > select "Enable the editing toolbar". The toolbar includes the "> Cite" button. Click on Cite and it opens the Templates box. Click on Templates and it provides four pre-formatted citation templates (cite web, cite news, cite book, cite journal). Select one, then click on "[Show/hide extra fields]" and all the template parameters appear. Fill the blank boxes with the details about the source, click "[Preview]" so you can check what the citation will look like, then click "[Insert]" and the citation is automatically added to the area you selected to add a citation. When adding a refname for re-using the same source, do not use numbers (e.g. <ref name=":0">, <ref name=":9">) -- use a name (e.g. <ref name="Smith">, <ref name="Smith2000">). See Refname rules. Good luck with your assignment. Pyxis Solitary (yak). L not Q. 10:07, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

Good for you for getting started, Emily! I look forward to your research bits. Be bold!
