A fact from Jimmy Sham appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 10 October 2019 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Mistake. I meant to revert a different edit (the one that changed "human rights" to "LGBT rights" – on the grounds that he does not exclusively campaign for LGBT rights). Citobun (talk) 08:38, 30 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

User feminist although you created the article but you don't own it. I tried to improve this new article but you have reverted almost all my edits. Please discuss the issues first. STSC (talk) 09:49, 29 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
For the record I did not "revert almost all [of your] edits"; some of them, such as the addition of portal links, build on your contributions. Anyway, I have explained my reverts clearly in my edit summaries. Happy to discuss specific issues you may have with the article under the WP:BRD process. feminist (talk) 10:30, 29 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
"BRD is not an excuse to revert any change more than once"and you just randomly picked an excuse to revert. Particularly why you removed the external links section which is very normal for an article to have this section. STSC (talk) 11:22, 29 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
Did I revert any change more than once? No, I did not. If the only external link added to an article is inappropriate, of course the section should be removed. feminist (talk) 12:29, 29 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
It's not his official site, for one, so the link to Rainbow of Hong Kong does not meet WP:ELYES. WP:ELNO point 13 states sites that are only indirectly related to the article's subject should not be linked; Jimmy Sham is not the leader or even a major figure in Rainbow of Hong Kong. The fact that the organisation is mentioned in the lead section does not mean it should be added as an external link, per WP:ELNO point 19. Basically as I stated in the edit summary. feminist (talk) 13:38, 29 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
