Hi Budyy16! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Drag queen several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Drag queen, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. We have an ongoing discussion on talk. Participate there.. - CorbieVreccan ^☊ ☼ 19:36, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

I noticed this, also, and concur. Mathglot (talk) 00:44, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Drag Queen shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. - CorbieVreccan ^☊ ☼ 19:54, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

I wanted to respond to your edit summary on your third revert (which could trigger ArbCom sanctions; see next section) where you said:

the information has sources. there is no reason to remove it

Yes, the information has sources, but not enough, imho. It's a question of WP:DUE WEIGHT, which in this context you can perhaps think of this way: if you had a large library conference room, which was filled with every reliable book, magazine, or scholarly journal that has ever published something about drag queens, and sorted them into piles, how big would the pile be, containing sources that said "straight people can be [or, 'are'] drag queens"? If that was the biggest pile, or even one of the bigger ones, then there probably should be something about it in the article. If the pile is only a tiny one, then nothing should be said about it in the article, per WP:DUEWEIGHT. If it's between "tiny minority" and "smaller pile", then it's a grey area, and needs to be talked out. Hope this makes sense, but even if it doesn't, please do read the next section and follow the links.

In addition, just because something has sources, doesn't mean it belongs in that article; the onus is on you to demonstrate that it does; and if other editors disagree with you, by undoing your edit, then please follow WP:BRD or other dispute resolution methods, and do not try to force your preferred content into the article. You are already over the limit for that.

If you have questions about WP:ONUS or WP:DUEWEIGHT or anything I've said here, feel free to reply below, or ask me on my Talk page, or contact the WP:Help desk with questions. Mathglot (talk) 02:36, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Standard message about editing articles on gender-related topics

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in gender-related disputes or controversies or in people associated with them. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

This makes it especially important that you do not just revert or add content without seeking consensus. - CorbieVreccan ^☊ ☼ 19:51, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
