Minor and not-so-minor edits
I see that you've recently excised several paragraphs from Elden Francis Curtiss, which paragraphs have worn citation-needed tags for a year. That's quite a reasonable thing to do. However, you marked them as minor edits, which is emphatically not the case. Per WP:MINOR, "A check to the minor edit box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the current and previous versions. Examples include typographical corrections, formatting and presentational changes, and rearrangements of text without modification of its content. A minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute... [A]ny change that affects the meaning of an article is not minor..."

Since many editors have their watchlist preferences set to exclude minor edits, marking a substantive edit as minor could be perceived as an attempt to slip a controversial change past one's fellow editors. I'm sure that this wasn't the case with your recent edits, but I'd encourage you to avoid erroneous use of the minor-edit tag in the future. Thanks. — Ammodramus (talk) 02:39, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
