Welcome
Welcome Gleeanon409!
I'm Scope creep, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.
Some pages of helpful information to get you started: | Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}}
on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.
Please remember to:
- Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes
~~~~
at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp. - Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.

Too many references
Hi @Gleeanon409: I think your putting too many refs into this tiny article per WP:REFBOMB. There is policy called WP:CITEKILL. I whole lot will need to come out. scope_creepTalk 11:21, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
- Maybe some of them can be combined? I only added when new information was introduced that someone would question. Desmond is certainly notable so it’s not there is something to prove. Gleeanon409 (talk) 11:29, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
- I never noticed until this morning how many there was. Every sentence could needs a ref is the standard. He is eminently notable so I don't think there is any problem with them removing at least 30 of them. Removal of duplicates is the ideal. It is 33k so not a huge amount, a couple of dozen. scope_creepTalk 11:48, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
- I think removing any refs is a very bad idea, none of those guides really state that what we have is a problem. And this is a very touchy subject for a lot of people. There are multiple cases of the same ref being listed multiple times, maybe those could be combined? Gleeanon409 (talk) 12:01, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
- @Gleeanon409: Yip, I don't think there is any lack of references. It is wikipedia policy. It unusually one ref per fact, I think. I got called up for it, in similar situation donkeys ago, so it is genuine thing, a real policy. You can use ref tags as <ref name="john">jim</ref> and then apply <ref name="john"/> to another location and you only have one reference location, but it linked multiple times. There is only seven areas where is needs to be done, e.g. Drag performances section. I don't mind cleaning it up. Are you planning to stick around Gleeanon409, once you finish this. There is plenty of other articles that could do with some work.scope_creepTalk 17:31, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
- Generally we only have one ref per fact, some statements had more than one fact. Right now I haven’t figured out how to see the underlying code, I switched editing display so I could add full refs and I don’t know how to switch back. I’ll see if I can figure it out. Gleeanon409 (talk) 21:24, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
- I found a combiner tool Reflinks, it worked! Gleeanon409 (talk) 22:12, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

@Scope creep: did you notice that's not a policy, but actually only a WP:ESSAY? MPS1992 (talk) 23:42, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Gleeanon409, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Gays Against Guns have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:46, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
help please - Redirect
I want to edit GuRu (book) but the redirect is preventing me from getting to the page to start the article. Could someone remove the redirect code so I can start? Gleeanon409 (talk) 21:28, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
- The redirect doesn't need to be deleted. Click the link in your message above and you will be redirected. Right under the article title, you will see this text:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from GuRu (book))- You'll notice that "GuRu (book)" is a link -- click that to be taken to the redirect page, which will suppress the redirect. You can then edit that page directly. --Chris (talk) 21:49, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
- That doesn’t work on my phone, it only keeps sending me to RuPaul. Gleeanon409 (talk) 22:06, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
- Click on the link at the top of the article and it will take you back. scope_creepTalk 22:55, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
- As I’ve stated that doesn’t work, I don’t get a link to go back on redirects apparently just a brief pop up that tells me what happened but no link in the pop up box. Gleeanon409 (talk) 02:47, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
- Hello, try going to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=GuRu_(book)&redirect=no or you could also temporarily switch to desktop mode (There should be a Desktop link at the bottom of the page next to Terms of user and Privacy) then the link he is talking about will show up - Scio c (talk) 04:04, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
- It worked! Thank you so much! Gleeanon409 (talk) 09:29, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

- I'm going to mark the question as resolved for now since multiple people have responded and the
&redirect=no
should work for all devices. If it doesn't work, feel free to restore the template. You can also create the page anywhere else (e.g. at Draft:GuRu) and ask it to be moved over (replacing the redirect) when you're close to done, if that would be easier. Alpha3031 (t • c) 04:16, 21 May 2019 (UTC)- I was able to edit but I couldn’t delete the redirect. Gleeanon409 (talk) 09:29, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
Could someone delete the redirect from GuRu (book)? There’s an article there. Gleeanon409 (talk) 09:29, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
- The redirect is no longer there, you've converted it to an article now. – Þjarkur (talk) 12:03, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you! Gleeanon409 (talk) 12:26, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
Need to rename Camp; Notes on Fashion
Hi! I must have made a typo. Can you please rename Camp; Notes on Fashion to Camp: Notes on Fashion? The punctuation was wrong. Gleeanon409 (talk) 17:03, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- Done. For future reference WP:Requested moves is a good place to ask for page moves. Huon (talk) 17:48, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you! I’ll keep the page move in mind if it happens again. Gleeanon409 (talk) 18:08, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- Good job with the article. Do you think you could possibly make similar articles for their earlier exhibitions? They don't have to be as detailed--if you start then, others will add to them. DGG ( talk ) 07:18, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you! I was trying to get it into good shape as the exhibit is already open. Two of the articles are already done but I’ll consider doing the other two. Gleeanon409 (talk) 19:27, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

A kitten for you!
Nice start with Sweet Tea: Black Gay Men of the South—An Oral History Keep it, add more references and feel free to ask me if you need any help regarding improvements. I can help you in finding references, getting research articles/books too. thanks

- @QueerEcofeminist:, I would love any reference you can find. I did as much as I could but now paywalls and subscriptions have stopped me in my tracks. I know there is at least five journal reviews, and countless books that talk about Sweet Tea but I can’t seem to access them. Gleeanon409 (talk) 19:33, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
- Gleeanon409, Send me your email address on sureshkhole.com@gmail.com , I can give you a few more reviews. QueerEcofeminist "cite! even if you fight"!!! [they/them/their] 03:58, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
- Also WP:RX If you know the source but can’t access it.
I have sent you a note about a page you started
Thanks for creating United We Pride.
User:Rosguill while examining this page as a part of our page curation process had the following comments:
It's not clear to me that this subject has received enough coverage to meet notability guidelines. Half of the cited articles don't even mention "United We Pride", and even the ones that do have fairly trivial coverage for the most part.
To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Rosguill}}

- @Rosguill:, I was on the fence with that one. I had hoped to find coverage in each of the world cities it went to but it doesn’t look like the project did any publicity to get media coverage.
- It was spun out from the rainbow flag article so we can send it back there. Gleeanon409 (talk) 19:25, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
