Minor edits?
It looks like you are marking all your edits "minor", but most of them do not fit the criteria outlined in WP:MINOR. Please review the guidelines and help your fellow editors by only marking as minor those edits that truly are.

 * From what I understand, "minor edits" include the following:
 * Spelling and grammatical corrections
 * Simple formatting


 * Since all I did was remove or slightly alter the occasional word or punctuation, they are indeed "minor edits." I doubt the original authors would even notice them. I only did it because I was hired to fix some pages and they wanted me to optimize my account for editing by making 10 minor edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Agordon99 (talk • contribs) 16:19, 21 March 2013, (UTC)


 * Hello again! I understand you're new to Wikipedia and I want to help you any way I can. I have a few suggestions that might make your life here a bit easier:


 * Read the Help articles. You don't have to read all of them, but some are really useful. When I finish typing this, I'll put a "Welcome to Wikipedia" header on your Talk page (this one). It will contain some links you might find helpful.


 * I took the liberty of reformatting your response to my first message. Usually, this is frowned upon, but I wanted to show you a couple of editing tricks you might find helpful. Please, if my changing your text annoys you in any way, just say so and I'll happily put it back the way it was. (You can see what I did by clicking on the "edit this page" link, above.)


 * Always sign your Talk page comments by putting four tilde characters at the end of your inserted text, like this: ~


 * You can indent your Talk page comments by prefixing them with a colon character. You can use more than one; each will indent the line a certain amount.


 * Be cautious about using special characters at the beginning of a line—they might not behave the way you intend. Examples:


 * Lines that start with an asterisk become part of a bulletted list.
 * Lines beginning with a pound sign ("#") become part of a numbered list.
 * A space at the beginning of a line causes the line to be displayed as computer code (monospaced font with no line wrapping); this can get messy.
 * There are many more; see the Help articles.


 * Many common words and phrases have special meanings in Wikipedia. Minor, for example, has a specific definition. In summary (from the help article):


 * Checking the minor edit box signifies that the current and previous versions differ only superficially (typographical corrections, etc.), in a way that no editor would be expected to regard as disputable.


 * Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if the edit concerns a single word, and it is improper to mark such an edit as minor.


 * I always ask myself, "Is there any way someone could have a problem with this edit?" If the answer is No, I mark it Minor, otherwise, I leave it as a normal edit. If you want any more information, please look at the article on the subject: WP:MINOR


 * I wish you well in your editing here. Remember that we're all on the same team here, working to create and maintain an encyclopedia. If you keep that in mind, it's really hard to go wrong.


 * There are many people here that will help you if you ask (I'm one of them). If you have any questions, or if something doesn't make sense, let someone know.


 * Good luck! &mdash; UncleBubba ( T @ C ) 20:22, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
