Hi RubyRyder! Thanks for offering your expertise to Wikipedia. The template above links to pages on our policies and how we do things, as well as places to ask for help and advice. If you're already aware of most of it, the welcome's still sincerely meant :-)

In case you haven't seen, your response has been moved to the noticeboard as you requested: Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Pegging (the page is still protected because of some vandal), and people are suggesting you make specific suggestions at Talk:Pegging (sexual practice). In case you haven't already seen it, I'm going to point you to Wikipedia:Expert editors; it's a bit grim, and it envisages mostly the kind of expert who publishes research papers, but its guidance is basically sound.

Glad to have you join us! Yngvadottir (talk) 05:21, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
