Hello, I'm David Gerard. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Louis Freeh, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please do not add deprecated and Generally Unreliable sources to Wikipedia, especially on the biograph of a living person.

Hi Stephencottenberg! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Rahm Emanuel 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. ––FORMALDUDE^(talk) 21:36, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Minor

Please read wp:minor you are marking all of your edits as minor and many are cleary very major changes.Slatersteven (talk) 10:30, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that going forward, any of your edits that are marked minor that are not actually wp:minor will be reverted regardless of accuracy. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 16:28, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Or

You might also want to read wp:or and wp:synthesis. I am not sure that some of your recent edits were not violations of one or both of those.Slatersteven (talk) 16:59, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have to agree some of your edits, specifically on Nancy Pelosi, were not as neutrally worded as they could have been. ––FORMALDUDE^(talk) 15:52, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
