Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Draft:Devane (surname), without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Wikishovel (talk) 11:10, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

added citations and some additional info. Thanks for guidance. Regards PerspicazHistorian (talk) 11:24, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, and good luck with the review. But please stop removing the templates from the previous submissions: they are vital guidance for reviewers. Wikishovel (talk) 11:46, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi PerspicazHistorian! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a 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. DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:06, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

You seem to routinely mark your edits as minor, although many of them aren't – eg. this edit added an entire new section, amounting to 10%+ more content, to an article; there is simply no way that could be considered 'minor' by any measure. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:08, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

okay, will take care now onwards. PerspicazHistorian (talk) 12:11, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:08, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

learnt just now that giving a summary is important, thanks PerspicazHistorian (talk) 12:11, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
