Hi Verticalhorizon1! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Conversion therapy 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.

Got it. Don't appreciate the rollback by cycloneyaris. The original presentation to the APA was made by Spitzer at the annual conference in 2001 (I have a copy of the itinerary which is available online) and the paper was published in 2003...get your facts straight!!!! So much misinformation on Wikipedia it's ridiculous. Verticalhorizon1 (talk) 01:38, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

People pull a lot of shenanigans on Wikipedia... particularly on articles in areas of controversy, such as Conversion therapy. The way your change was made, a date change with nothing to back it up, actually is similar to some common sorts of vandalism we see. That's why we're looking for verifiable information, information with a source reference. And the good news is that if you have the URL for the copy of the itinerary that is available online, so long as it's online at a reliable place (say, the APA's own website, rather than Big Joe's Conspiracy And Recipe Blog), then that's the sort of source that could make that information stick. If you'd like help on redoing your edit this time with a source, let me know. --Nat Gertler (talk) 04:17, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
