Information icon Hi Globalnitish! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Visakhapatnam gas leak that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia — it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 07:42, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Another minor issue that I saw in your edits was the placement of references before sentence-ending punctuation. In one case at least, you even reverted someone else's fix. This is incorrect. References go immediately after punctuation, like this,[1] not this[2]. —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 08:00, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon At Intermittent fasting you made major additions to the article (since reverted as not relevant) and made an Edit summary that was not a true description of your changes. David notMD (talk) 11:40, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

National varieties of English

[edit]

Information icon Hello. In a recent edit to the page Visakhapatnam gas leak, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 07:44, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
