re Femininity
Hello Sparkystar, welcome to Wikipedia and happy Wiki'ing!

Regarding these changes to the article, one question is, do these changes and additions better reflect what's in the source?

Here's what I mean. If there's a passage "X, Y, and Z" and that's sourced to Joe Smith (using the tag, and an editor changes that "X, Y, and Z, and also A", with the material still directly preceding the to Joe Smith, that's legit only if Smith's material indeed indicates that "X, Y, and Z, and also A" is true. You see what I mean?

It's tricky. It takes a little getting used to. But thank you for your contribution and don't worry, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it with a little practice! Cheers, Herostratus (talk) 18:27, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
