Sourcing and undiscussed article moves

I reverted you at the Lesbian article, and I explained why. Simply put, you are defining the terms lesbian and lesbianism stricter than the sources and articles are defining them. The Lesbian article is clear about how broadly the term lesbian is used, and that it does simply refer to sexual orientation; it refers to sexual identity, sexual behavior, and objects as well. The form lesbianism usually means any same-sex romantic or sexual attraction between human females, as scholarly sources show. For example, no one knows for certain if Sappho was exclusively sexually attracted to women, but many scholars do believe that she was sexually involved with women and sexually preferred women. Therefore, Sappho is a lesbian topic. I also reverted three of your undiscussed article moves, as seen here, here, and here...with an article text revert and explanation here. Wikipedia:Requested moves has a requirement that potentially controversial moves should be discussed through the Wikipedia:Requested moves process; it states, "Use this process if there is any reason to believe a move would be contested." So do not move articles of this type without starting a Wikipedia:Requested moves discussion first.

Also, be mindful of the WP:Edit warring policy. And if you are 108.36.70.221 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) or are editing as any other IP, you should be editing while logged in. Flyer22 (talk) 02:38, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

While you don't edit like a complete WP:Newbie, I suspect that IP 108.36.70.221 is the indefinitely blocked Dante8. Unlike Dante8, you interact with editors. But the more I look at your account and IP 108.36.70.221, you appear to be 108.36.70.221 editing while logged in and while logged out.

If you reply to me about any of this, then I prefer that you reply here on your talk page to keep the discussion centralized; see WP:TALKCENT. Well, the exception is matters pertaining to the Lesbian article; I prefer that we discuss that on the Lesbian talk page if you want to discuss it. Flyer22 (talk) 02:49, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'd overlooked this, but have moved it back as well. Flyer22 (talk) 08:08, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.

Disambiguation link notification for July 13

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Feminist views on sexuality, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Asexual. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:10, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
