[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hi Johan5885! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor 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 [[typographical error|typo corrections]] or reverting obvious [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|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. <!-- Template:uw-minor --> |

June 2023
Hello, I'm I dream of horses. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Egypt’s Islamic Cultural Center—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Egypt’s Islamic Cultural Center, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use your sandbox. Thank you. Grachester (talk) 17:21, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi Johan5885! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor 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.
Please do not add or change content without citing a reliable source. Like here [1] where you just changed the square metres from 65,000 to 241,000 without any explanation, and contradicting what the given source said.
Please add an edit summary with your edits, to explain why you are making changes. Your edits have been reverted because it was not clear to other editors that they were an improvement. For instance, when somebody reviews your edit here [2], it's natural to revert it, because you just removed one of the buildings without any explanation. I happened to notice that one of the data items said "Cancelled". It would have helped if you had left an edit summary saying "construction cancelled" or something like that. Thanks. signed, Willondon (talk) 15:40, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
