Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Why don't you spend time improving articles instead of harassing other editors? Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:22, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Original research

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Talk:Transphobia, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Your own personal experience is not a valid reference for articles. We require citations to reliable secondary sources. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:26, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Venting

Hi Jay. I saw that you pasted your Twitter thread in a few talk pages. I certainly don't blame you for venting because the whole situation really is absolutely bloody horrible but it isn't going to do any good pasting it into Wikipedia like that. Article talk pages are meant to be for focused discussion on how to improve the articles and not that many people read them anyway. So, what can you do? If you could get some reliable source to republish your thread, or something derived from it, then that would elevate it into something that could potentially be referenced in Wikipedia articles, as well as getting the message out to a wider audience. Failing that, just keep on with the Twitter. That thread got a lot engagement there. People are listening. You are making a difference. Anyway, please try to take care of yourself. It has to get better, eventually. --DanielRigal (talk) 03:31, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

February 2021

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Jay Hulme", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because possible impersonation user:JayHulmePoet. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:22, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

While I have no way to be certain, I think it is likely that this account really is (or rather was) that of Jay Hulme. The other account you mention seems never to have been used for editing. I doubt that this is impersonation or anything else nefarious. Most likely the older account was registered and then forgotten about and then this account registered, used briefly and then also abandoned. --DanielRigal (talk) 23:37, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@DanielRigal: Given the nature of the edits from this account, this needs to be looked at carefully. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 01:09, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
