Hi Dmhll! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at Collegiate Aerial Robotics Demonstration 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. Thank you. Yutah123 (talk) 05:33, 27 March 2024 (UTC)


 * I understand, thank you for clarifying. Dmhll (talk) 05:35, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Overlinking on 2024 in the United States
Heya; thank you by the way for your contributions to 2024 in the United States, but something I have noticed is that a lot of your entries seem to overly link common words such as minivan, plagiarism, etc. Our Manual of Style says at MOS:OL (the entry for overlinking) that most common items that people would very likely understand should not be linked, such as basic objects, states, countries and nationalities, and most of the exceptions listed would not likely apply to 2024 in the US' entries. Please keep this in mind when you're writing. Again, thanks for your contributions!  Invading Invader  (userpage, talk) 14:29, 2 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting me know! I was mostly copying from their entries in Portal:Current events, so any linking that was already there was kept the same. I'll make sure to pare down next time. Dmhll (talk) 17:05, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
