This article is suffering from Citation overkill
I think this article needs cleaning up as there are too many inline citations in the lead paragraph and a bit in the second section. What do you think? 2A00:23C5:F405:2001:B814:5B78:8694:748F (talk) 09:42, 6 September 2023 (UTC)


 * I agree. WP:OVERCITE has the guidance on this. In particular, MOS:LEAD suggests that the lead section should be a summary of key points and references. The article is not protected from editing by IP editors, so if you can improve it by restricting the early citations to the most important (e.g. perhaps, those academic sources that have been most cited externally to Wikipedia), please do so. Overall, I don't see any need to remove any cited source entirely as many are used several times later in the body text. (Technical note: make sure you are familiar with how named references are used and preview your edits before saving them to check all is OK). Mike Turnbull (talk) 10:18, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
 * It should cite reviews rather than individual studies, although recent large representative samples from the Netherlands are far more powerful than older convenience sample studies. Zenomonoz (talk) 11:58, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Undiscussed move
Hi. Thanks for your work on this article. You recently moved this talk page to Talk:LGBTQ+ parenting. The biggest issue is that you did not move the associated article. We should never have the article at one title and the talk page at a different one. There's also the issue that we'd prefer for this article, which is a "child" article of LGBT, to stay consistent with the "parent". If you'd still like to move it, you should consider starting a requested move discussion. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 17:32, 29 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that! I thought I had moved the other one, this makes sense. McCarty2597 (talk) 18:05, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
