Please do not add or change content, as you did at Winkte and twice at Two-spirit, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. As I said in my edit summaries, what you are adding is WP:OR - this language is modern LGBTQI lingo that is not in the sources. This matters as Two Spirit is not a modern LGBTI identity. In particular, some anthros have mistakenly called historical 2S people "hermaphrodites" and using intersex terminology could once again confuse this issue. Stick to the sources, use accurate edit summaries, engage with other editors, and don't just revert without discussion. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 19:09, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Nádleehi, you may be blocked from editing. In this edit you altered a direct quote. Stop changing Indigenous peoples' words about themselves. I realize you're not intending to vandalize or disrupt, but that is the effect you're having. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 19:21, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi CorbieVreccan. I would politely request that you refrain from spurious accusations of vandalism. WP:BOLD edits are not vandalism, regardless of how much you disagree with them. I mistakenly left an edit summary off one of my edits, which I apologize for. However, as per WP:NOTVAN this is explicitly not vandalism. If you continue to cast aspersions on my good faith edits, I may need to start a more formal dispute resolution process. --CamAnders (talk) 22:49, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
Introduction to contentious topics
edit
You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template. Feel free to contact me or the Wikipedia:Help desk if you have any questions.
