In “Effects”, it says, “In 2020, ILGA world published a world survey and report Curbin Deception listing consequences and life-threatening effects by associating specific public testimonies with different types of methods used to practice conversion therapies.” However, it cites this link which is a study about sadomasochism and the “rough sex defense” and how that affects the legal treatment of rape. It is not the right link. I found the actual link (I think) here. Also, it spells it wrong. It should be Curbing Deception not Curbin Deception. Is this alright for me to change? I’m a bit new here and I wasn’t sure if I had to get approval first. Mjsayshey (talk) 21:08, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch! Yes, you're completely allowed (and encouraged!) to WP:be bold and fix these errors yourself. Feel free to ask if you need help. –RoxySaunders 🏳️‍⚧️ (talk • stalk) 22:20, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When you do, you could also link the report's title to the section about it at ILGA#Curbing Deception. –RoxySaunders 🏳️‍⚧️ (talk • stalk) 22:27, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect, thanks! Mjsayshey (talk) 23:24, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change the source for “Curbin [sic] Deception” to the link here. The link it currently cites (here) is incorrect. Also, replace “Curbin” with “Curbing”. It’s misspelled. Also link the article ILGA#Curbing Deception to the title. Mjsayshey (talk) 23:34, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 23:46, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Mjsayshey (talk) 23:48, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Under the Castration and Transplantation section, the line "In early twentieth century Germany experiments were carried out" has a spelling error. I recommend changing it to "In the early twentieth century, German experiments were carried out". GloatyUK (talk) 13:04, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There was no error, but your edit introduced one.

- Original: "In early twentieth century Germany experiments were carried out...": no error. GloatyUK might not be parsing the sentence correctly: "early twentieth century Germany" is the place where experiments were carried out.

- Requested: "In the early twentieth century, German experiments were carried out...": grammatically correct, but changes the meaning of the sentence slightly (the experiments were German vs the experiments took place in Germany).

- Current: "In the early twentieth century Germany experiments were carried out...": grammatically incorrect.

Therefore, I am just reverting it to the original and adding a comma to make the sentence scan more easily. Nukeychess (talk) 19:49, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies. I should have seen that. (3OpenEyes' communication receptacle) | (PS: Have a good day) (acer was here) 13:29, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Historically, conversion therapy was the treatment of choice for individuals who disclosed same-sex attractions or exhibited gender nonconformity, which were formerly assumed to be pathologies by the medical establishment – shouldn't this be more specific? Conversion therapy certainly wasn't ubiquitous in all cultures. Zenomonoz (talk) 20:18, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
