Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to The Grayzone. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. —  Newslinger  talk   23:16, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi CheckYourBias! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at The Grayzone 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. —  Newslinger  talk   23:17, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Please stop marking edits as minor when they materially change the article, as you did in Special:Diff/1081228480. —  Newslinger  talk   03:40, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

I noticed your recent edit to The Grayzone does not have an edit summary.&#32;You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief.

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting. Thanks! —  Newslinger  talk   23:17, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at The Grayzone, you may be blocked from editing. —  Newslinger  talk   03:39, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
