About your edit to Clovis culture
There were several minor problems in your edit on Clovis culture, none which couldn't be addressed with a quick fix. Wikipedia is a community. Other editors will help you. Don't be afraid to try things out: be bold! There's the sandbox if you are trying something fancy and don't want to make a mess of the article, and it is easy to get help. I hope you enjoy editing.Novangelis (talk) 19:29, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) The most serious is that you did not provide a source. A quick search found a local newspaper article which supported everything you entered. This is one of the most important aspects of Wikipedia: it is not enough to be right, but you have to be able to verify what is claimed, using reliable sources.
 * 2) You called it a minor edit. A minor edit is generally a change which does not impact content. Fixing format and typos would be minor. A change in verb tense that another editor might challenge would not be. My addition of a newspaper source was not a minor edit, since another editor might insist upon a better source. (Any source might be challenged.) When I fixed an error in the reference that impacted the display, that was minor.
 * 3) It wasn't formatted; I formatted it.
