Gender articles

Hi! I just wanted to give you a head's up about the gender related articles. Most of them are held under sanctions, which mean that content that is added to the article will be more heavily scrutinized than other articles, so content will need to be carefully written and sourced. If you're adding to an article you'll need to add sourcing in many cases. I'd also recommend leaving a note on the talk page, as sanctioned articles tend to be controversial and will sometimes be written a certain way after a lot of back and forth between editors. This doesn't mean that you can't edit the page at all, just that you need to edit with caution and if your content is removed, you shouldn't re-add it until after you've discussed the reasons for removal on either the article's talk page or on the talk page of the editor who removed the content. Re-adding content after it's removed can be seen as edit warring, which you want to avoid since it's not a good thing on Wikipedia, but it's especially bad on sanctioned articles.

I hope that this kind of explains some of what has been going on - feel free to ask me any questions you have on my talk page! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:13, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
