Hi, thanks for your contribution at LGBT community concerning the name of Pride parades. I think you're right about the name, but not because of the reasoning in your edit summary, but because the article content supports it based on reliable sources.

One of Wikipedia's core principles is verifiability, which requires reliable sources to back up the content in an article. In addition, as the Wikipedia guideline on the lead of an article states, "The lead serves as an introduction to the article and a summary of its most important contents." (emphasis added) This means that you can't really change the lead, unless it reflects an accurate picture of the content below it, but since your change (the first half, anyway) does reflect usage in the article body, it should remain. (I redid the second half of your edit, where you changed a wikilink to a piped link; normally this should be avoided when possible, and here it can be avoided by simply using the unpiped "pride parades", which is a redirect which goes straight to the desired destination.)

Once again, welcome to Wikipedia, and remember above all to maintain verifiability in any changes you make to articles. Feel free to contact me on my Talk page if you have any questions, or just create a new section below with your question, and type  somewhere in the section.

Finally, there are advantages to registering a username on Wikipedia; see Why create an account? for details. Mathglot (talk) 08:26, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
