Hello, Wanhedalegend, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; 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.

Hello!

Hi, Wanhedalegend! I noticed your username was a reference to The 100. I used to really like that show (before they killed off Lexa). I'm glad we're in class together! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charm04 (talkcontribs) 14:04, 10 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello Wanhedalegend, I am KCLAY1006! I am a new editor on Wikipedia that is still working on getting familiar with the system! I am looking forward to editing and being apart of this course. --KCLAY1006 (talk) 14:36, 10 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Topic choices

edit

Hi! It looks like you want to work on the article on lipstick lesbians, which can definitely use some expansion. I noticed that your question looks to focus on the definition and qualities, which are good things to focus on, but I would also recommend looking into expanding the content on the term's history as well as usage in society and pop culture into their own sections. You may also want to look at criticism of the term to see what has been stated. However one caution: make sure that you only summarize what has been explicitly stated in the source material, as drawing our own conclusions or connections can be seen as original research. In any case, I think this is a good article choice. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:57, 10 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

WP:Words to watch

edit

Regarding this, I'm glad that you are aware of the WP:SAID guideline. But I wanted to note that we do commonly use "argued" when a statement is an argument. But, yes, it is often safer to use "said" or "stated."

If you reply to me on this, please reply here on your talk page instead of at mine. No need to ping me. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 05:47, 31 October 2019 (UTC) Thanks Flyer22 Reborn! I have appreciated your help so much!Reply
