Minor edits

Hi CalicoCatLover,

Thanks very much for your constructive edit to Crocus. Unfortunately, it was marked as a minor edit—a designation that's reserved for insignificant changes such as corrections to grammar or formatting, not new and substantive content. For some reason I've never understood, the default setting is to mark all edits as minor, but you can change that in your preferences (scroll down to Advanced Options). If you don't change it, then please remember to uncheck the Minor Edit box when making substantive edits.

Cheers,

typo

Hi,

At list of national capital city name etymologies, the entry for Lomé is broken, and has been since you created the page. It says, "the Alo

is a tree whose trunk is still the main source of spa – dent in South Togo";

Can you recover what "spa - dent" is? — kwami (talk) 07:34, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

You had false translation on Salavan Province article, it does not mean one million days.--125.25.244.52 (talk) 00:58, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Alanis Morissette

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Alanis Morissette. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Yworo (talk) 11:05, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Misuse of minor flag

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Changing "Hungarian" to "Hungarian Jewish" does not qualify as "minor". Thank you.

Pennsylvania German

I have reverted your edit to a footnote in the article "United States." Pennsylvania German is not an official language of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The references in the footnote pertain only to official languages of a state or territory (and not to languages merely accommodated in some jurisdictions).Mason.Jones (talk) 00:26, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Unsourced biographical information

Hi. I saw that you added an birth date to Leland Orser. It was unsourced, so I reverted it. Per WP:BLP, this kind of information needs to be properly sourced. It can't be taken from random websites, the IMDb, primary sources, or guessed at. This is important, because it can affect the lives of real people. Often, the exact day of birth is not publicly shared, but it sometimes comes up in interviews. You might try checking People, Entertainment Weekly, and other entertainment magazines.
