Tips 
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Sign your messages with four tildes ( ~ ), be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
 * Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Le Deluge (talk) 14:13, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Categorisation
Whilst your enthusiasm for categorisation is commendable, please hold off for a bit until you've read some of the relevant guidelines. For one thing, please don't add links to categories that don't exist - see WP:REDNOT, the rules are different for red-linking categories as compared to red-linking articles. More generally, try to avoid WP:OVERCATEGORISATION; most biography articles have plenty of categories, 3-5 categories is sufficient. And you have to be particularly careful when categorising by people's sexuality - see Categorization/Ethnicity, gender, religion and sexuality. If you're looking for work to do then there's plenty of articles needing attention - see. Cheers Le Deluge (talk) 14:19, 13 April 2022 (UTC)


 * In addition to this, please familiarize yourself with our duplicate categorization rules, and do not add to people who were already in an "LGBT sportspeople from [Specific Country]" subcategory. Bearcat (talk) 16:33, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
