Which previous account....
Which account did you edit under before editing as Drewmike? No need to reply on my talk page if you do reply; I have your user page/talk page on my WP:Watchlist. So I prefer that you reply to me here on your talk page about this. Flyer22 (talk) 23:12, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Also, I'm pretty sure that I can guess your previous account, but I'm wondering if you will openly declare it here on your talk page. If you do not declare it and state that you got all of your obvious Wikipedia experience via other means... Well, then, you are obviously free to state that.

 * I was previously wxman87. I retired that account and wanted a fresh start. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drewmike (talk • contribs)


 * As noted in the WP:Clean start policy, editing the same areas as you did before is not really a clean start. If you really were the account, you barely edited with that account and I don't see why you felt the need to start over with a new account. But anyway, happy editing. Flyer22 (talk) 08:14, 26 July 2015 (UTC)


 * I addressed you about alternate accounts at User talk:Wxman87 as well. And maybe you quit that account because of that. But if you edit decently here, it's unlikely that I will have problems with you. That is, unless you are ever identified as a returning editor that shouldn't be editing Wikipedia.

Wiki Loves Pride 2016
As a participant of WikiProject LGBT studies, you are invited to participate in the third annual Wiki Loves Pride campaign, which runs through the month of June. The purpose of the campaign is to create and improve content related to LGBT culture and history. How can you help?
 * Create or improve LGBT-related Wikipedia pages and showcase the results of your work here
 * Document local LGBT culture and history by taking pictures at pride events and uploading your images to Wikimedia Commons
 * Contribute to an LGBT-related task force at another Wikimedia project (Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, Wikivoyage, etc.)

Looking for topics? The Tasks page, which you are welcome to update, offers some ideas and wanted articles.

This campaign is supported by the Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group, an officially recognized affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation. The group's mission is to develop LGBT-related content across all Wikimedia projects, in all languages. Visit the affiliate's page at Meta-Wiki for more information, or follow Wikimedia LGBT+ on Facebook. Remember, Wiki Loves Pride is about creating and improving LGBT-related content at Wikimedia projects, and content should have a neutral point of view. One does not need to identify as LGBT or any other gender or sexual minority to participate. This campaign is about adding accurate, reliable information to Wikipedia, plain and simple, and all are welcome! If you have any questions, please leave a message on the campaign's talk page.

Thanks, and happy editing! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 20:00, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Queering Wikipedia 2021 User Group Working Days: May 14–16
The Wikimedia LGBTQ+ User Group is holding online working days in May. As a member of WikiProject LGBT studies, editing on LGBTQ+ issues or if you identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community, come help us set goals, develop our organisation and structures, consider how to respond to issues faced by Queer editors, and plan for the next 12 months.

We will be meeting online for 3 half-days, 14–16 May at 1400–1730 UTC. While our working language is English, we are looking to accommodate users who would prefer to participate in other languages, including translation facilities.
