Controversial, unsourced changes undone
Your changes to long-standing wording in the lead of Drag queen were unsourced, and lacked merit. They have been removed. As a new editor, it would be a good idea to learn how to edit by first making small changes to the body of articles (the part under a section header), and not to the lead (the top part), which has special considerations. Secondly, some articles which are on controversial topics, such as Drag queen, are just inherently more difficult to edit, and the likelihood of having your edits removed is much higher. For a new editor, editing the lead of an article on a controversial topic is almost impossible. I would recommend you steer clear of articles like this, and find a niche where you can contribute to an article on a less highly-charged topic, but that's just my advice, as another editor here, and you can do what you like, as long as it complies with Wikipedia policies and guidelines. If you have any questions, you can contact me on my Talk page, or check out the Help desk. Mathglot (talk) 21:47, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Original research, and edit warring
Arunr28, you are a brand new editor (three total edits), so you get some slack while you come on board here and learn the ropes. You were just advised above about not editing unsourced material to articles. Inserting your own unsupported opinion into the WP:LEADPARAGRAPH of the Drag queen article as you did is called Original research, and it is forbidden: all content you add must be verifiable by reliable sources. Nevertheless, in your very next edit you doubled down, and added the same material once again. This is called Edit warring, and is also forbidden. When another editor undoes your change, you should go to the article talk page and discuss with other editors and try to achieve consensus for what the article should say. I would have reverted you again, but another editor had already removed your text.

I have already advised you to avoid controversial articles, especially the WP:LEAD portion, while you gain experience here, and I repeat that advice now, although I cannot enforce it. However, I must now warn you: if you continue to add unsourced material to articles, or if you engage in edit warring at articles, your editing privileges may be suspended. So please don't do that. A good start, would be to try some other articles for now, and to follow some of the links in your Welcome message above. If you have questions about this, please ask, but don't ignore this message.
