Hi Rockchalk717! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Derek Chauvin 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. ― Tartan357 ^Talk 16:09, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

@Tartan357: Per the page you provided “A minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute.”, which is exactly what my edit, adding what prison he’s incarcerated at, at Derek Chauvin was. It was a sourced indisputable fact I added, the exact definition of a minor edit on the page you provided.--Rockchalk717 18:07, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Rockchalk717, any addition of content is not a minor edit. Please see the first bullet point at Help:Minor edit#What not to mark as minor changes. ― Tartan357 ^Talk 18:09, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Tartan357 is correct. Schwede66 03:03, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Formatting of discussion thread comments

Regarding these edits: if you haven't read them already, you might consider reading the help page on replying in a discussion thread and the guidance on formatting lists. In spite of what the help page says, the colon, asterisk, and number sign characters represent list items and not indent levels. Following the guidance will help others follow the flow of conversation, and also help avoid screen reading assistive technology from making extra announcements. Thank you for your consideration of this matter. isaacl (talk) 00:58, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
