Welcome!
Hello, Cornell User 2, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page Hammer throw did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

 * PS 1: You appeared to claim that it is wrong to say that the hammer cage is C-shaped, but that information actually comes form the cited source, a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
 * PS 2: Such content-changing edits - adding or changing information - should not be marked as minor (see Help:Minor edit). Regards, HaeB (talk) 13:39, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Dear HaeB,
 * Thank you for getting back to me on my recent edits I will do best to cite my sources next time however I throw as a profession. It is what I do every single day for shot put, discus, and hammer throw. Anyone who throws knows that the hammer cage follows more of a g shape unless its fully open which is not in the saftey guidlines for the NCAA or world athletics. Could you just verify why my information will be removed, is it purely sources for my information? Regardless, thank you for informing me about these changes.
 * Sincerely,

 * Additionally, is there a page That distinguishs minor edits vs regular edits. I figured only changing a few things would be a minor edit. Thanks again for the help.
 * Sincerely,

 * Thanks for your responses. Yes, the lack of a citation was the main reason for removing that part of your edit, but also the fact that it contradicted the already cited source. There are sometimes situations where sources (even peer-reviewed academic journals) are wrong, or contradict one's personal professional knowledge, in which case Wikipedia's verifiability policy can feel frustrating. However, given that not only the aforementioned peer-reviewed academic article but also Encyclopedia Britannica call the cage "c-shaped", we shouldn't be too worried about the possibility of Wikipedia spreading misinformation here.
 * As for your other question, see again Help:Minor edit - as a rule of thumb, if the edit actually adds or changes information (as opposed to merely tweaks its presentation or formatting), I would avoid marking it as minor.

 * Hey Sumanuil,
 * Thank you for fixing my mistake there. I thought that the images would publish later and it just was not displaying yet. Thank you for the tips. Actually fixing the mistake and the images should be up now. Thank you again!
