Welcome!
Hello, Briana sexeth, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:36, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of LGBT Rights in Russia
Hello Briana sexeth,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged LGBT Rights in Russia for deletion, because it appears to duplicate an existing Wikipedia article, LGBT rights in Russia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Lucky102 (talk) 01:26, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Deleted content
Hey, just letting you know that there are already two articles that deal with LGBT issues in Russia, LGBT history in Russia and LGBT rights in Russia, so you should work on expanding the information in that area. One thing I do have to caution you about though, is to be careful not to put original research in anything you write on Wikipedia. I didn't look over the content too closely to see if you inserted anything of this nature, but I did notice some comments here that requested that you find something that would link two concepts together. One of the main things to remember on Wikipedia is that you cannot make any links, connections, or conclusions of your own - anything of that nature will have to have already been explicitly stated in a reliable source by someone deemed to be an authority. It's something that can get pretty frustrating at times, honestly, but the basic gist of Wikipedia is that we're summing up stuff that other people have already written rather than making our own work. I've written a bit about this here, about the difference between academic papers and Wikipedia articles. If you have done anything like that, no worries and don't feel bad - it's a hard thing to get used to on here. It took me more than a few months to really get the hang of the difference myself, when I began editing.

I deleted the content but I do see that there's a copy in your sandbox already - if there's anything on the deleted page that you need or if you just want some help in general, please feel free to contact me on my talk page or post a message here with this:, which will "ping" my notification system.
