Information icon Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they 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". Addition of photographs you authored and adding them into articles as "minor". Please see the blue link above for the definition of "minor". Graywalls (talk) 09:14, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

@Graywalls: I apologize for incorrectly marking some of my edits as minor, I hadn't read up on the definition of a minor edit for a few years and forgot the exact definition. I will no longer mark edits that add images as minor. Thank you for reminding me of that.


Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --Matthew T Rader 12:59, 3 April 2020 (UTC) Because I'm a Wikipedia contributor, doesn't make sense to delete my page. Why would it be deleted?


April 2020

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. — LeoFrank  Talk 18:39, 3 April 2020 (UTC) f Graywalls (talk) 09:05, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

@ToBeFree: Will do, thank you Matthew T Rader 00:58, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
Ah, I think I have found the issue: Have you enabled "Treat the above as wiki markup" in your preferences? Please disable it; it seems to break your signature code. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:00, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
It's still broken; the option is on the first page of your preferences. The heading above the option is "Signature". ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:28, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
@ToBeFree: It's unchecked now, thank you Matthew T Rader (talk) 01:30, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
Perfect, that worked! Thanks! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:31, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
@ToBeFree: My pleasure! 01:33, 5 April 2020 (UTC)


Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Cozumel, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Loggerhead (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
