Masculinity
Wikiwah2020, thanks for this edit of yours to Masculinity. There's some good content there; but unfortunately, it seemed to me to cover only a very tiny fraction of the subject of the article, so I removed it. University students in America were only a small percentage of fraction of the population, and America was a small fraction of the world, so it's a sliver of a sliver. There was nothing wrong with your content, per se, and you included citations to reliable sources as well, so bravo for that! It's only the choice of venue of the content that is problematic, because of its appropriateness to a general article about the concept of "Masculinity".

I think you could try two things, here: either globalize the material to generalize it so it's more appropriate to the article, or, find another article of more limited scope, either in time, or place, and add it there. There's also a third possibility: if you disagree with my removal of the material, you could raise a discussion on the article Talk page to talk about it. Wikipedia operates on consensus; I'm only one editor, and if you talk it out on the Talk page and other editors agree with you, then the material could simply be added back.

If you'd like to reply to this discussion below, just edit this section, see WP:THREAD about how to reply on Talk pages, and add a Reply template with my user name in it to your message (like this: ). See also the "Help me" link, in the Welcome message above. Once again, welcome to Wikipedia. Mathglot (talk) 20:17, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Expressing a point of view
Wikipedia articles should be written from a neutral point of view, and should not express opinions or judgements. At least some of your editing, however, is clearly expressing a point of view. For example, using words such as "unfortunately" are clearly indicating the opinion of the writer. JBW (talk) 21:49, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
