Welcome

Hello, 8sjg2! Welcome to Wikipedia! I've seen you at the Sexual orientation article, and have tweaked your edits to that article. I'm not sure if you are working on the article as a project assigned by a teacher or just to improve the article on your own accord, but I welcome you all the same and offer the following advice: See WP:Manual of Style. Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Capital letters, you need to make sure that headings are not inappropriately capitalized. For the "Differences in Fluidity Between Males and Females" heading, for example, the "Fluidity Between Males and Females" part should be completely in lowercase; that's why I tweaked that heading accordingly. Also, per Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Section headings, "Headings should not refer redundantly to the subject of the article, or to higher-level headings, unless doing so is shorter or clearer. (Early life is preferable to His early life when his refers to the subject of the article; headings can be assumed to be about the subject unless otherwise indicated.)" Further, as Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Layout#Paragraphs states, "The number of single-sentence paragraphs should be minimized, since they can inhibit the flow of the text; by the same token, paragraphs that exceed a certain length become hard to read. Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheading." That's why I removed this and this subheading (well, I removed the first one also because we are not supposed to ask questions in headings, not unless, like a book chapter, that's the official title of the subject). Also use WP:REFPUNCT (punctuation before, not after, references) and avoid WP:WHITE SPACES (one or more extra white gaps between a section). In addition to the guideline links above, I believe that you will benefit from clicking on some or all of the tutorial, guideline and policy links below, which will help you familiarize yourself with aspects of Wikipedia that you are unfamiliar with or need to better familiarize yourself with. If you have any questions, you can ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Please remember to sign your name on talk pages by clicking   or by typing four tildes "~~~~"; this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you are already excited about Wikipedia, you might want to consider being "adopted" by a more experienced editor or joining a WikiProject to collaborate with others in creating and improving articles of your interest.

A tag has been placed on User:8sjg2/sandbox, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia.
