Art Acevedo edits edit

Hi there - I saw your edits to the Art Acevedo entry. I wanted to mention that I don't think any of them qualify as "minor." Per the site guidelines, minor edits are for "superficial differences" such as "typographical corrections, corrections of minor formatting errors, and reversion of obvious vandalism." To quote a bit more: A minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute." And: "Any change that affects the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it concerns a single word; for example, the addition or removal of "not" is not a minor edit." You added sentences and paragraphs. I don't really know what the fix is, but I wanted to bring it to your attention. Mkilly (talk) 17:19, 9 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
