Information icon Hi ButterSlipper! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at National Endowment for Democracy 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.

Your question at Talk:Adrian Zenz

Taking your question at face value and responding here so as not to derail that thread: comments like "irrational, disgraceful and prejudice reverting" (as well as "your obscene falsehoods" elsewhere) are where you're characterizing another editor instead of focusing on content. That's an ineffective method of debate on Wikipedia. It could also be construed as a pattern of personal aspersions. Please read WP:CIVIL, one of Wikipedia's policies.

Thank you for taking the time to go on to my talk page and kindly explain but I don't understand how my comment on Adrian Zenz's talk page was a personal aggression or violation of WP:CIVIL. I had stated that the reverting was irrational, disgraceful and prejudice correctly and did not go on to assume the editor Neutrality was any of those words. Neutrality is clearly just a misinformed editor and I had only wanted to defame his edits. My second comment about "your obscene falsehoods" was highly charged and aggressive, I agree, but I was just stating the facts and staying civil. The truth needs to be said and I had never claimed they were dumb or ignorant or anything else personally offensive for claiming those falsehoods.
"Stated simply, editors should always treat each other with consideration and respect. They should focus on improving the encyclopedia while maintaining a pleasant editing environment by behaving politely, calmly and reasonably, even during heated debates." My comments were a tiny bit vicious but not personal, false or had violated any Wikipedia rules. I "treat[ed] [Neutrality] with consideration and respect" even when their statements were slanderous. I want to collaborate with Neutrality and I despise this fruitless arguing.
If there's anything else I am not aware about that I had done and violated Wikipedia's guidelines, could you please explain?
