December 2022

Hello, I'm Denisarona. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, List of sexually active popes, 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. Thank you. Denisarona (talk) 07:24, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good morning! I actually put in the wrong description for this edit. I was standardizing the format across entries. For the majority of entries with a known number of children, after yes they have (at least #). For Alexander VI, there was no number in that section even though the description mentioned at least seven with a citation. I was just moving that information over so it matched the other entries in that section! Whatnamesareleftnow (talk) 13:27, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Whatnamesareleftnow! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at 2011 Liège attack 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. In your edit you deleted and/or changed words in this article and that type of edit isn't considered a minor edit. Shearonink (talk) 18:11, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Please do not add or change content, as you did at List of people claimed to be Jesus, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 15:04, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edits - SECOND NOTICE

You received a notification three months ago about inappropriately marking edits as minor. Doing so is deceptive and rude to other editors because it tells them they don't need to check the content of your edit. Here and here are two of several examples. This is your second and final notice to stop marking edits as minor that are not minor. Since you obviously didn't read Help:Minor edit as directed above, or you don't understand it, or you are intentionally ignoring it, my strong suggestion is that you do not mark any edit as minor. You'll never go wrong doing it that way. Otherwise, if you continue these problem edits you could lose you edit privileges. Sundayclose (talk) 15:23, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In my mind, most of the changes I make are grammar and do not need reivew. I will admit I missed a certain aspects of the minor edit rules, so I appreciate you pointing it out. Whatnamesareleftnow (talk) 16:26, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not referring to "most of your edits". I'm referring to the ones that are not just grammatical changes. Again, it seems that you haven't read Help:Minor edit. Look at the links to your edits that I provide above. Removing an entire section is not a minor edit. Adding an item to "See also" is not a minor edit. There are others. As I said, your best bet is to never mark an edit as minor, then you'll never make the same mistake. But as long as you don't continue the problem edits, all is well. Thank you.

Thank you for the link! I’ll make sure to look and try to reduce overlinking in the future Whatnamesareleftnow (talk) 18:06, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2023 Jujuy protests, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gerardo Morales. 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.)

Hi Whatnamesareleftnow! 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. Thank you. Cerebral726 (talk) 16:31, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cerebral! What article are you referring to? I don't want to make a mistake of this nature and would appreciate knowing which one. Whatnamesareleftnow (talk) 17:50, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Of all your contributions , almost all have been marked a minor edit and almost none of them are, in fact, minor. Cerebral726 (talk) 17:59, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Most of them were just edits to grammar and links. I thought this fell under the minor edits section? Whatnamesareleftnow (talk) 18:05, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Help:Minor edit for further explanation, but for example even adding "was" in this edit makes it not a minor edit. Also, a minor edit for wikilinks must be Adding or correcting wikilinks, or fixing broken external links and references already present in the article, which does not seem to cover altering preexisting links, such as you did with the city links. I think your edits are substantial enough that they do not meet the requirements that they require no review and could never be the subject of a dispute., so they would be better left unmarked as minor. Cerebral726 (talk) 18:12, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I guess I had previously misunderstood the Minor Edit article when I read it previously Whatnamesareleftnow (talk) 18:18, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
