Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Ashley Gavin. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, please use your sandbox instead, where you are given a certain degree of freedom in what you write. Patient Zerotalk 01:41, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * This is a direct quote. It was said jokingly but click the link, the content is both "accurate information" and direcctly from the person the page is about. Why was this deleted? Mxpotatohead (talk) 01:50, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * The tone you used was rather unencyclopedic, for starters. Also, we don't condone attempts at humour in articles, and poking fun at someone's sexuality just isn't acceptable, full stop. Patient Zerotalk 02:02, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * You even say in your edit summary that you planned on deleting it eventually. That's also considered to be a test edit. So that's two policies violated... Patient Zerotalk 02:04, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * This was a direct quote, she literally said on an instagram story (jokingly, while laughing) "what if my wikipedia page was just like [the quote I included]." She runs a sex positive podcast, it was her own humor. I am also a queer person and a fan of hers and I distinctly not poking fun at her sexuality or her sexual practices. I also wasn't "planning" on deleting it, just noting for others that it probably wasn't worth keeping. I'm not arguing that it should stay, but it was not a test and if I violated a policy for these reasons it was unintentional. This has been a frustrating conversation. I understand the "no humor" rule and this is probably the first and last time I'll ever bother editing a wikipedia page, but please consider context before you make assumptions about people.

 * OK. Your explanation is sufficient for me. If you can add it back with a more encyclopaedic tone it may be acceptable. My apologies if I frustrated you. Patient Zerotalk 02:28, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
