Minor edits

Hi! Thank you for adding content to Commonwealth realm. I noticed however that you marked the edits as minor. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that adds content or changes the meaning of an article should not really be marked as a minor edit. Further information, if you need it, is at Help:Minor edit.

Thanks for the advice. I'll be more clear in the future. Flagship1537 (talk) 12:08, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ca. Thanks for your response. Its helpful. I understand the need to haver reliable sources to combat misinformation/disinformation. I will look to find more reliable sources in order to strengthen the article so it can be published. I don't know where you are based or how much you know about 1930s-50s Irish social history. Sadly, as a single woman in an overwhelming patriarchal rural society of the time, there were few references made to Lily Dillon or her achievements which could be found online today. So citing online sources you would consider "reliable" may prove difficult. Nevertheless, there is at least one published book that refer to her. I will consult the other sites you list above.

Draft feedback

I don't think [1] and [2] are reliable sources. First, they are blogs and have no editorial control. And I could not find much about the northkerry's author. Same goes for Lady Icarus. I could not find anything except for an unrelated journalist who shares the same namesake. You can try this template here, which provides search pages from variety of websites.
