If you would like to experiment, use your sandbox. Thank you. Arado Ar 196 (C✙T) 17:56, 19 August 2022 (UTC)


 * The Charlotte Charke edit was neither incorrect, nor vandalism. I was simply allowing him to be remembered as the transmasculine icon he was. I only wrote the truth. Great Priest Ari (talk) 13:05, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi there. I thought the warning there was a little bit WP:BITEY, especially considering how much time and effort you clearly went to in that edit. However it was reverted because on Wikipedia you need sources for everything. Charlotte Charke was a historical figure from long before the trans debate, and so it is speculation that she would have self identified as male. Likewise, any sources that speak of her in such terms must be speculative too. As she and the published sources uniformly refer to her as female, Wikipedia follows that usage. On Wikipedia we just write what the sources say - speculation is considered original research, which is not allowed. Have a read of WP:OR.
 * This was also why your Autistic Spectrum edit was reverted. It was good information, but it has to link back to published sources. Wikipedia cannot just publish anything any editor thinks - it has to follow what has actually been published. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 13:32, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
