Hello, I'm Skingo12. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to Jill Andrew because they seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

HI, I don't know if this is the way to contact you, but I am shocked that you removed the fact that Dr. Jill Andrew 1) has a doctorate now and goes by Dr. Jill Andrew (just like dr. Jill Biden btw). You have also deleted 2) the fact that she is the first black and queer MPP in Canada. The wikipedia page notes she is part of the first black Caucus too. Firsts are important. Race and sexuality in politics both are. And why have you deleted a reference to her education ? Again, looking at dr. Jill BIDEN, this information is public. It is absolutely a fact for an encyclopedia.

To me it appears your erasures are about "queer" and about not mentioning a "black" woman's education. Jill BIDEN's page has a separate heading for education.

Before I add these items back again, conforming to Jill BIDEN's page, please let me know who can decide our difference of opinion. Dr. Jill Andrew can attest to all this information. . Thanks


 * Hi, thanks for letting me know that you disagree. Just give me a few moments to review everything. Thanks, Skingo12 (talk) 18:07, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, the reason I removed your edit was partly a mistake on my part. However firstly please allow me to clarify that my revert was not about race or sexuality. As you can see from my reason for reversion and the warning template you got the reason was that you added a link in a way that I didn't think was appropriate. If you like I can reinstate all the other information except from the link? Thanks, Skingo12 (talk) 18:12, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

--I can't find a way to answer you except for here: yes, please reinstate the other information. I can however not see anywhere which link you deleted and what information.


 * Hi now worries I will do that now and here is a link to the diff of what was removed. Cheers, Skingo12 (talk) 18:49, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
 * On second thoughts the link should if you so wish, and I am very sorry If I have given you a negative fist impression of Wikipedia, I really do hope you decide to stay. Before you mentioned that you were having trouble looking at the diffs so would you like me to give you links to a bunch of helpful guides? Cheers, Skingo12 (talk) 18:55, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

--- yes please to the guides. And yes please reinstate the other link.

And yes you did give a bad impression. I am used to being erased as a transmasc nonbinary person, even within the LGBT community we get erased, so stuff like this comes on top of aggression and ridicule. I had already debriefed dr. Jill Andrew and contacted BLM Toronto leaders as well as Egale Canada to take this up further. I am glad I don't have to do that. But I am not sure of I will do this again as I don't have the energy to meet more cis-men who are so quick to delete information that I had spend a good chunk of time looking up. On top of everything else, it becomes exhausting. I'm from the Caribbean btw we are straightforward. Please don't assume rudeness.


 * Hi I can assure you I am most definitely not prejudiced against you but won't say anymore because of the nature of the internet. I'll add the links below but just to let you know that Wikipedia editors do enjoy a certain level of protection. Also do you know the subject of the article? I'm sure it doesn't apply to you but its important for ever editor to read WP:COI and WP:AGF. I do apologise if I gave a bad impression, but we do have to revert a lot of stuff and deal with a lot of unpleasant users. Cheers,  Skingo12 (talk) 19:58, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
