Great referenced and researched edits, one mild note on edit type

Excellent work on recent well-cited and referenced contributions, which show a great depth of research. As detailed as these contributions are, one mild aspect to point out. Any edit that includes substantial text content should not be marked a minor edit (explanation is on WP:ME). A minor edit is only edits that do not change meaning, no matter how short a phrase they are. Examples of minor edits are citation fixes or punctuation. Major edits can be as simple as adding the word "not". Along those lines, if you make a lot of incremental edits that add a phrase at a time, those are actually major edits even if each concerns a single word -- just a side note for the future. Keep up the great work! -- Rauisuchian (talk) 06:30, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Well, that would be correct if I sort of knew what I were doing, but it is incremental and since your last post, or talk to me, the changes I have made were in my opinion small, so "sorry." What was small for me, is probably large for you since you are overseeing the page.

I will try to mark any further changes as "major" but it looks like I am done here. Thanks for the notes and encouragement. Who-knows-nose (talk) 16:28, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Kpddg. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Deportation of Koreans in the Soviet Union, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Kpddg ^(talk) 14:23, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Have a look at Chang's Burnt by the Sun, pp. 18-19. I will add citation and re-add it. Thanks. Who-knows-nose (talk) 15:06, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Identity and image uploads to Commons

I notice that in the images you have uploaded to Commons and added to Maki Mirage, such as File:Operation Maki Mirage- 1930s, Blagoveshchensk, Russia.jpg, you identify yourself as Jon K. Chang. Jon K. Chang is also a historian cited somewhat extensively in that article. Can you please confirm on-wiki that you are Jon K. Chang? If so, I would ask that you clearly self-identify as such on your enwiki user page if you intend to continue editing the page, and please take note of our guidelines about citing yourself and original research. (While I recognize that many of the references to Chang's work were present before you arrived at the article, it is best to be upfront about your identity in case disputes arise about the content).

I should also note that most of your images have incorrect licensing stating they are your own work when they are not (simply scanning something does not make it your work under your copyright). Some of these images, including book scans, may be copyright violations. Commons:First steps/License selection may be helpful to you with correctly licensing your images, and if you need further assistance, the people at the Commons:Help desk can help as well. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 02:28, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

I am Jon K. Chang, I have been using the moniker Who Knows Nose. How is it that I should reveal or prove to you that I am Jon K. Chang?

Ok, I can begin to do that.
