Hey there, please refrain from marking that many edits as minor, as I've noticed you have done at Trap, Twisters, and many places more. "[[Help:Minor edit|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 [[Typographical error|typo corrections]] or reverting obvious [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]]. Any edit that changes the <em>meaning</em> of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. That includes your copy edits and sentence shuffling, which shouldn't be marked as minor edits. Thanks for all your edits!

:Could you provide links to some erroneous edits? I've been using the "minor edit" tag almost exclusively for grammar and wiki markup fixes. [[User:Filmgoer|Filmgoer]] ([[User talk:Filmgoer#top|talk]]) 00:06, 31 July 2024 (UTC) |

::Certainly! Stuff like [[Special:Diff/1237248396]] and [[Special:Diff/1237678084]] are supposed to not be marked as minor. The first one changes the meaning slightly, and the sentence-moving part of the second one claims that the sentence is cited by the first two sources as well. Usually what we do is say "ce", short for "copyedit", in the summary for such edits and describe them a bit more. Basically every edit that changes the meaning, however slightly, should not be marked as a minor edit.

CAN'T RETIRE
Filmgoer tried to leave Wikipedia, but found that they couldn't do so…
