User talk:PS Prentice

March 2024
Hello, I'm Felida97. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of Marjorie Perloff. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

 * Hello! I am new to being a Wikipedia editor, and clearly don’t know what I am doing. Sorry! I was just trying to put in a link for Marjorie Perloff‘s daughter, Nancy. There’s a link for the other daughter, Carey and I just wanted to balance things out. Sorry, I did everything wrong! PS Prentice (talk) 23:59, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi PS Prentice! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at Marjorie Perloff 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. DoctorMatt (talk) 23:48, 28 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello! I am new to being a Wikipedia editor. All I wanted to do was add a link to Marjorie Perloff‘s daughter’s name: Nancy Perloff. There is a link for Carey Perloff, but not Nancy Perloff. Clearly, I didn’t know what I was doing so I gave up. Sorry! PS Prentice (talk) 23:57, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello! There is a wikipedia article for Carey Perloff, and that is why their name is linked: the link takes the reader to the article for them. If Nancy Perloff is of sufficient notability, you could consider creating an article for them.   There is a lot to learn about doing this, but there is much information available; you might start with WP:HI and WP:ACRE.  I would be happy answer any questions you might have (you could ask here or on my talk page). Welcome to Wikipedia! Cheers, DoctorMatt (talk) 00:13, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much for clarifying and explaining the protocol. PS Prentice (talk) 03:41, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
