As a Newcomer, Newcomer tasks are helping me approach the learning curve in a way that would have been much less smooth and much more difficult otherwise. I can see how the tool helps new users, established editors, and administrators SO Kudos. I wanted to let you know that, in one circumstance, the newcomer tasks pointed me to what I would consider to be a sensitive topic (transgender). I handled a potential kerfuffle with empathy but I think it would be great to remove anything from the edit list that might cause emotions to run hot. -- Anyway.. So I created two articles for submission, edited many articles, and have been keeping notes in talk.. and there is an endless amount of stuff to learn. It's also been great to rub shoulders with many a longtime editor/administrator. That speaks to how well thought out and productive this tool is, at least to me. WELL DONE!

Thank you for your appreciation, Flibbertigibbets! I shared it with the team.
Regarding removing topics that may cause emotions, we can't create a list as the universality of Wikipedia would lead to an endless list. This being said, we have some improvements for topics selection that could help, such as a more precise way to select topics.
Thank you again!
