A note on minor edits

[edit]

Information icon Hi Wikigrund! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at List of fatal dog attacks in Austria 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.

Thank you for the welcome and the useful information! I was not aware of this. I will pay more attention to avoid this mistake from now on. Wikigrund (talk) 11:38, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome! You're doing well including reliable sources for your additions to articles. That's something many new editors find difficult. Since most of our readers don't understand German, you could also add a translated title to references. It's not required, but it's a nice finishing touch. To do this, add trans-title= and the translation; here's an example. Happy editing! BlackcurrantTea (talk) 17:00, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits on dog attacks.

[edit]

Hello, I've had to remove information you added on the article of list of fatal dog attacks in the United States due to adding dog breed information based on your visual identification, this is considered WP:Original research and is not allowed on Wikipedia. Please only report the breed or dog type when it is mentioned by a reliable source. Traumnovelle (talk) 02:47, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, that is not true. I did not do any visual identification. The second source already mentioned the dog type. I added the third source for the information that the dogs were picked up by animal control before the fatal attack. Please don't remove content based on your assumptions. Wikigrund (talk) 21:17, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did review the first two sources but I must've missed/overlooked the mention of the breed in the video, my apologies. Traumnovelle (talk) 22:54, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That can happen. Apology accepted. Wikigrund (talk) 12:07, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the removal. I copied the wrong text into the table, it was meant to be a summary in my own words. I will be extra careful in the future. Wikigrund (talk) 11:10, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
