Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

I noticed your recent edit to Santa Monica Police Department 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! Apocheir (talk) 21:24, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi Knowledgebase6162! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at Murder of Bianca Devins 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.

 * Thanks for noticing and informing me. For Santa Monica Police Department, I think it's an unintentional error while visiting the page. For Murder of Bianca Devins, this page has single repetitive citations over the page. I tried to change it from another source which i found useful but it has been reverted. I just want to know more about verifiability. Thanks Knowledgebase6162 (talk) 09:33, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I am not sure what you mean by "single repetitive citations". You removed a reference to the Post-Standard, a newspaper from Syracuse, New York near where the killing took place. You replaced it with a link to an article on theancestory.com, a Wordpress site written by a single person that contains blatant errors like "Bianca Devins, better known on Instagram as E-Girl" and does not appear to be a WP:Reliable source as described at the linked guideline. What did you hope to accomplish by doing that? Apocheir (talk) 21:33, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The newspaper The Post-Standard, has the link which is being repeatedly cited on the Murder of Bianca Devins's page. Therefore I tried to provide more information with the same context and I was unaware of the reliability issues and didn't check its verifiability. Thanks for letting me know. In the future, I will try not to do the same things. But my question is whether it's okay to do repeated citations because of credibility things? Thanks Knowledgebase6162 (talk) 14:18, 18 June 2022 (UTC)


 * This edit at Viapath was also marked as minor when it removed some content. The edit seems fine, but it isn't minor in the way that Wikipedia uses the term. Please only tick the minor box for extremely superficial changes to articles: if you're adding or removing words, do not tick it. --Lord Belbury (talk) 09:40, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Sure, thanks for notifying the same. I would take care of it. Knowledgebase6162 (talk) 05:53, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
