Hi Pelancast! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Paul Foster-Bell 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. Not a big issue; just so you know. Schwede 66 16:30, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh many thanks. Hopefully the additions are useful and non-controversial. Pelancast (talk) 09:07, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
