User talk:K0rk,fAce

Welcome!
Hello, K0rk,fAce, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contribution to Conversion therapy. Unfortunately, another editor found it unconstructive, and reverted it. That can happen, as Wikipedia is a collaborative platform, and depends upon editors achieving consensus. So, don't let one revert bother you; read the guidelines on verifiability and citation of reliable sources, and you'll have better luck next time.

I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

Editing in controversial topic areas
Just reiterating my welcome, above, and also wanted to give you a friendly piece of advice concerning one other thing at Wikipedia. As confusing as the Wikipedia policies and guidelines can be when you're just getting started here, there are certain topic areas which are considered controversial, and can attract a lot of problem edits and contention and disputes among editors. In order to keep this under control, the Arb Com has laid out some strict rules for editors who edit in these particularly controversial areas. These rules are called "Discretionary sanctions" and the article you chose to edit, Conversion therapy, falls under one of the topic areas considered controversial, namely, gender-related topics. In a minute, I'll post below with the official boilerplate about this, so you can have a read and better understand what it's about, after I finish this message.

In the meantime, you may find it easier as a brand new editor, to edit in other topic areas, sports, art, culture, biographies, history, anything you're interested in. If you do choose to continue editing in gender-related topics, be aware that in order to make your edits stick, you'll need to hew closely to what reliable sources have to say about the topic, using your own words, and providing footnotes to those sources using inline citations. Hope this helps. Okay, that's it for now, good luck with your editing, and if you have any questions, don't hestitate to contact me below, or on my talk page, or another editor by adding as section below and adding Help me to your message.
