Deadname removal

I don't know if I'm doing this right because I just opened my wikipedia editing account, but thanks for changing the page name! I wanted to do that, but wikipedia wouldn't let me until my account was 4 days old! Be96 (talk) 15:14, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

I'm super glad I could help!! Thattransgirl (talk) 15:36, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi Tamzin!! Thanks, I'm really glad to see some other trans people here! Btw, how did you add your pronouns to your talk page signature? Thattransgirl (talk) 12:51, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

And I'm really glad to see new trans users joining. Please do let me know if you have any questions about editing! I'm not super-active these days, but I try to keep my finger on the pulse of the 'pedia as best I can, and if you ask me something outside of my wheelhouse I can refer you to someone more knowledgeable.

As to the signature, if you go to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-personal-signature, you can put a custom signature of your choosing. You should read WP:CUSTOMSIG for what is and isn't allowed. (Most important things: It needs to link back to your user talk page and preferably also your user page; ideally, it should say your exact username, not a nickname or anything, although you can always include a nickname too; and it shouldn't have a bunch of distracting styling.) If you, like me, take multiple sets of pronouns without preference among them, there's actually a bit of code I wrote to randomize their order in my signature: {{subst:#ifexpr:{{subst:#time:s}}mod2|FIRST ORDERING HERE|SECOND ORDERING HERE}}. (It would also be easy for me to adapt that to 3+ orderings, or to weighted preferences.) -- Tamzin (they/she) | o toki tawa mi. 20:10, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

@Tamzin: Thank you! And wow, that custom script thing is really cool! thattransgirl (talk) (she/her) 20:43, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Edit Reversion

Why do you keep altering my edits? I have even tagged reputable sources. Is the huff post not considered a source now? I have his pay stub if you want proof he worked there and abused children — Preceding unsigned comment added by Helpmechoose999 (talk • contribs)

@Helpmechoose999: Hi! I'm reverting those edits because they both violate WP:NPOV, and are clearly controversial given their repeated reversion by multiple other editors. If you want those edits to remain, you should discuss them on the article's talk page first, and then if you get the consensus of other editors to add those changes, then you should reformat your changes to be more encyclopedic and less accusatory. The main problem with your current edits are that they imply a large portion of the blame for that abuse is the fault of William Diamond. That very well may be true, but unless you can find a reliable source that proves he was clearly complicit, the article shouldn't imply that he was. My suggestion would be something along the lines of "Diamond served as Director of Government Relations and Superintendent at the Élan School, which was shut down in 2011 after allegations of child abuse." thattransgirl (talk) (she/her) 03:54, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Checking in

Sometimes when I welcome a new user I like to check in after a while and see how they're doing. Have you been finding your way around okay? Any questions/concerns I can help you with? -- Tamzin (she/they, no pref.) | o toki tawa mi. 19:39, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Hey, thanks so much! I'm doing pretty good, I was inactive for a bit but actually just started contributing again earlier today. One thing I'm a bit unclear on is, what sort of editing can I do on things like other people's Draft, User, and User Talk pages? Especially in terms of things like reverting vandalism. Thank you! Also in more personal news that you might find interesting it turns out I might also be a nonbinary girl. thattransgirl (talk) (she/her) 23:30, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

@Tamzin: also haha whoops just realized I should probably tag you in this thattransgirl (talk) (she/her) 23:42, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Ayyy, enby fems, let's go! (If that's what you settle on.)

As to your question: If an edit is clearly vandalistic, or clearly violates WP:BLP, you can revert, refactor, or redact it, anywhere on Wikipedia. In fact, those exceptions apply to basically everything, including the policy on edit warring. But again, only clearly. For anything that isn't clear vandalism/BLPvio:

1. On user talk pages, you generally should not change anything anyone has said, with certain common-sense exceptions outlined at WP:TPO.
2. On user pages, you should probably only be intervening to tag for speedy deletion, or a few other procedural tasks.
3. In draftspace, anyone can apply CSD tags, but anything else should happen as part of the WP:AFC process. When your account hits 90 days old, check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation if you're interested in that.

If you plan on doing much deletion tagging, I'd recommend giving WP:CSD a very thorough read, paying special attention to things that CSD does not cover. But again, yeah, if it's straight-up vandalism or BLPvio, revert away, doesn't matter the page or namespace. -- Tamzin (she/they, no pref.) | o toki tawa mi. 23:49, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

@Tamzin: That's really really helpful! Thank you so much! thattransgirl (talk) (she/her) 03:33, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

You're welcome! Also, this would be off-topic for on-wiki discussion, but if you ever want a friendly enby to chat with about gender stuff, feel free to email me. -- Tamzin (she/they, no pref.) | o toki tawa mi. 06:04, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

@Tamzin: Thanks, I'll send a message sometime! thattransgirl (talk) (she/her) 12:38, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
