Edits at LGBT history articles
Hi, ALEX85294. I undid some of your edits at LGBT history in Canada and at Timeline of LGBT history in Canada. I couldn't quite figure out what you were going for. I think you were intending to improve the articles, but were unfamiliar with some of our policies and guidelines. I wouldn't worry about this, and if you still have an intent to improve the article with those edits, we could talk about that here, or on the Talk pages of the articles concerned. (The proper venue to discuss an article improvement, is the article Talk page, but the right place to discuss questions an editor may have about how to edit, is here on your User talk page; so this issue kind of straddles the boundary of the two, and you can pick whichever one makes most sense to you.)

To begin, you could create a new section at Talk:LGBT history in Canada or Talk:Timeline of LGBT history in Canada, and raise your question there. Create a section header relevant to the change you wish to make. Since the issues on the Article talk page are about how to improve the article, any editor from anywhere on Wikipedia might respond to you, and join in the discussion. Or, you could raise it below, notifying me or any user you wish.

If you wish a response from a particular user, or if you just wish to let a particular user know that the Talk page discussions exists so they can read what you have to say, you generally need to let them know about it by notifying them, either with templates reply or ping, or by adding the user's id in brackets to your message; they will then receive a notification alert about your message. So for example, to alert me to a new message on an article Talk page (or on your User page), you can start off your message with, and then type your message. You can also request help from an unnnamed experienced editor, by adding  to your message. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 07:01, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
