Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * Simplified Manual of Style
 * Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply  [ create a named account] . It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:
 * Create new pages and rename pages
 * Edit semi-protected pages
 * Upload images
 * Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed

Note that in order for the first three features to be available, you must have had an account for a minimum number of days and made a minimum number of edits.

If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (120.17.17.6) is used to identify you instead.

I hope that you, as a Wikipedian, decide to continue contributing to our project: an encyclopedia of human knowledge that anyone can edit. If you need help, check out Questions, or you can  to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;).

Happy editing! Mathglot (talk) 19:34, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Collaborative editing at Wikipedia
I noticed your change to the lead of Drag queen. Thanks for wanting to help out, but unfortunately, I had to undo your change, much of which was altering a hidden comment about how long it has taken for numerous editors to thrash out the appropriate wording for the lead over a considerable amount of time, but some of which was changing the definition of the article in the lead sentence.

Wikipedia is a collaborative effort among many editors to improve articles. Just jumping in to an article on a potentially controversial, gender-related topic, and changing the lead sentence which was the result of long and sometimes difficult discussion, is not in line with the principles of collaboration here. You're still welcome to raise this issue in a new discussion on the Talk page, where you can state your concerns about the article, and see what other editors think about it. If you can sway other editors to your point of view and get consensus for your desired changes, then you'll be able to re-add your edit to the article, but you shouldn't attempt to do it unilaterally before obtaining buy-in for it from other editors.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me below, or on my Talk page. You may also ask questions about editing Wikipedia at the Help desk. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 21:05, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
