Hi TomRidley! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor 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.

Many thanks for the pointer, David! I'll bear that in mind for future edits (TomRidley (talk) 20:33, 14 June 2020 (UTC))[reply]

Edit request for Bunker Hill

To have a chance of being incorporated, an edit request needs to be more specific, in this instance naming a section, proposing the exact wording to be added, and providing a reference in proper reference format. Keep in mind this is already a Good Article, which means there is resistance to major changes. Your reference to Philbrick does make those statements about the conditions of the march toward the hill, but I believe a better ref would be the book itself. And it might by wise for you to get the book from a library to see if Philbrick has citations for all that information. David notMD (talk) 01:52, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
