I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles.

Your changes to Gender binary
editThanks for using an edit summary in your recent edit to Gender binary. Minor point with the summary: the changes you made are stylistic, and not grammatical. In addition, the change, imho, doesn't really improve the article, and splitting up that sentence might make the range of attribution of the reference less clear. It's not a big deal, so I left it. But in the future, if you don't see your change as improving the article in some way, then you really shouldn't make it. There's a WP:SANDBOX you can use for test edits, and there's also a link at the top of this page to your own, personal sandbox you can experiment in, if you want.
I got the impression with this edit that you were looking around for some teensy little edit you could make as part of your course work that was as inoffensive as possible, just to see what it was like to make a change. But it's okay to be bold in your edits, so next time, rather than change something that doesn't really need it, please look around for something that clearly can be improved, some awkward wording, a typo, wrong apostrophe or quotation, actual grammatical error, or some text that can be improved in some other way. Fixing stylistic problems is also okay, and that's a judgment call of course, but keep in mind that you want to leave the article a little better than how you found it. And please do continue to use a descriptive edit summary of your changes.
You don't have to reply to this, but if you want to, please read a bit about talk page guidelines, and then reply below, indenting one level (use a colon at the beginning of each new paragraph) and then sign your entry at the end by typing four tildes, like this: ~~~~.
