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. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
 * 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, Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 02:02, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

To help you on your way (and thanks for your offer to help WP out on LGBTQIA+/adult coverage):
 * WP:reFill (in case you're adding bare URLs)
 * WP:IABot (because you don't want to lose what you've found online)
 * WP:Reliable sources/WP:Verifiability
 * WP:NBIO/WP:NFILM/WP:BLP (viz. our notability guidelines on people and film-related entities, and--most especially/importantly--biographies of living persons, which require that everything in them be reliably sourced)
 * WP:Writing Wikipedia articles backwards (as offered minutes ago on your Teahouse thread--but try not to feel discouraged/defeated by the sheer work that lies ahead for you)
 * WP:Golden rule: "Articles generally require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic."
 * And of course, those indispensable resource links (the more you visit the Talk namespace, the more you'll see them):
 * (Phil Tarley)
 * (Phil St. John)

However you approach the topic, try to get us impressed with what you've managed. Once it gets reviewed/checked on and passes the notability test, congratulations! Your page will have now become an official article.

P.S. This may be my first time as a bona fide Wikipedia mentor for what it's worth--but don't count on it in the long term. Take care, and if you need more help, ping us back! --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 02:38, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
