Welcome

[edit]
Hello, Katieskyv! Welcome to Wikipedia! I saw you at the Non-penetrative sex article when I reverted this edit you made. And I see that you have started working on a version of the article in your sandbox, User:Katieskyv/sandbox. I'm not sure if you are doing this as a project assigned by a teacher or just to improve the article on your own accord, but, considering that you originally had a different copy of a Wikipedia article in your sandbox, it seems that you have chosen the Non-penetrative sex article because you were given the choice to choose a project by a teacher. Whatever the case, I again welcome you and offer you the following advice/evaluation: When deciding to make the type of article overhaul that you are planning, it is generally best to attempt to discuss mass changes on the article's talk page before implementing those changes. Your version needs a lot of cleanup before it should be allowed into the WP:MAINSPACE. See WP:Manual of Style, especially Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Capital letters and WP:FIRSTPERSON (which leads to WP:YOU), for what I mean. If you don't mind, I can help you work on the article in your sandbox so that it will be ready to put into the mainspace. Besides needing cleanup, there are style changes in your version that I disagree with and removal of some text that I feel should be kept (unless you are planning to add it back). Getting your version of the article in shape will also ensure that I or anyone else will not revert your version, or at least make it significantly less likely that anyone else will. In addition to the guideline links above, I believe that you will benefit from clicking on some or all of the tutorial, guideline and policy links below, which will help you familiarize yourself with aspects of Wikipedia that you are unfamiliar with or need to better familiarize yourself with. If you have any questions, you can ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Please remember to sign your name on talk pages by clicking or by typing four tildes "~~~~"; this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you are already excited about Wikipedia, you might want to consider being "adopted" by a more experienced editor or joining a WikiProject to collaborate with others in creating and improving articles of your interest.

Hey again, Katieskyv. As noted here, I integrated a significant amount of your text into the article in question. If you ever see this, I hope that you don't mind. I thank you for these additions, and I've explained on the article talk page (shown in the link provided above in this section) why I went ahead and integrated the text.
