Minor edits and MOS
Hi Bmcmanus0629! 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.

Grammar and punctuation changes may change the meaning in ways you may not realize, so please stop marking those edits as minor. In fact, it is never required to mark any edit as minor, so err on the safe side as mismarking even once can be seen as deceptive.

Also, our WP:MOS dictates that we use British quote mark practices, IOW the end quote mark goes inside the period or comma, unless it is a full sentence. Please go back over all your edits and fix this. You have really messed up a lot of articles. -- Valjean (talk) 16:16, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Loafiewa. An edit that you recently made to Emil Cioran seemed to be a test and has been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Loafiewa (talk) 16:52, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for reverting your recent experiment&#32;with the page Jürgen Habermas. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment further, please use your sandbox instead, as someone could see your edit before you revert it. Thank you. &#8209;&#8209;Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 20:43, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
