Minor edits[edit]

Hi there, I notice that you routinely mark the vast majority of your edits as being "minor" in character. I'm not in any way calling into question the good faith or quality of your edits (you seem to be diligent, conscientious and industrious) and many are minor in nature, per the WP definition. Many are not though, so it might be worthwhile checking out this page so that you are more familiar with the distinction. The intro explains the reason for the categorisation and the "When to/When not to mark an edit as a minor edit" sections lay out the distinction betwen the two. I hope this is helpful to you. Best wishes, and keep up the good work. Doddy Wuid (talk) 22:45, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your work on the USS Ponce article[edit]

Hello, I just wanted to say I didn't realize how little work I put into my updates until you gave them the once over. I hope you'll be there in future. Openskye (talk) 03:23, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the kind words, Openskye. Glad to do any little bit I can to further the communal quest for more skill, knowledge, and wisdom. If there's any task my still-meager skill might facilitate, please feel free to ask, for I must admit that in my case @ least, "...editing Wikipedia can prove to be habit-forming and/or addictive".Tech77 (talk) 04:32, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 29[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Edward Said, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Anglophone (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

tried using DPL bot to fix linkage, but no article exists (despite Wikipedia showing I was logged in @ time, IE9's XSS/cross-site scripting prevention apparently caused that edit to be credited only to my current IP address), so reverted edit for reason stated in original edit summary: created linkage for Anglophone to disambiguation page; linkage justification derived from: "...term has no primary topic, then that term needs to lead to a disambiguation page." @ Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Disambiguation page or hatnotes?Tech77 (talk) 02:42, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

June 2013[edit]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Ariobarzanes of Phrygia may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
