Hi Sean Waltz O&#39;Connell! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at Makhanda, South Africa 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. — MarkH21talk 16:14, 29 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi! Thanks for the notice and assistance. I will review the specifics of these qualifications for future reference. I presumed because it was one single change it would be minor. But in retrospect your flag makes perfect sense. Thanks for the heads up! Sean Waltz O&#39;Connell (talk) 16:33, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Wiiformii. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, South African jurisprudence, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Wiiformii (talk) 12:48, 6 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi ,
 * I see you removed every single edit I've made on this article.
 * Can you please explain this absolute course of action for me? The citations are for a legal page and according to legal citation standards as well as wikipedia guidelines. The citations, including the one's for sections you removed referenced the "African Legal Journal" as well as other reliable sources, including South Africa's Constitution.
 * I am trying to expand this page for the sake of adding context to South African Jurisprudence, a very important concept in our legal system. Could we have a dialogue about your concerns before subsequent edits are made? - Kind regards.

Edits to Ernest Hemingway bibliography
Hello, @Sean Waltz O'Connell. I noticed your edits at Ernest Hemingway bibliography and noticed that you are adding one period for each edit. I am not an admin but I would like to tell you that this can look like you are gaming the system by adding to your edit count. While you may have good faith, I encourage you to make the edits in one edit. Thank you, Cowboygilbert  -  (talk) ♥  09:18, 14 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi Thanks for your input! I wanted to separate each edit for legibility. It was my impression that it would be the best course of action. But thanks for your insight, i'll consider that moving forward. Sean Waltz O&#39;Connell (talk) 09:27, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
 * What do you mean by "separate each edit for legibility"? Cowboygilbert  -  (talk) ♥  09:29, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
 * u|Cowboygilbert For ease of reference to the edits. I'll take a look at the links you sent. Sean Waltz O&#39;Connell (talk) 10:03, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Your edits to John Donne
Please read MOS:PEACOCK and WP:RS, as suggested in the edit summary. All that puffery and opinion seems to go beyond the required neutral point of view. Instead, use "use facts and attribution to demonstrate".

WP:BRD recommends discussion at this point, to avoid any suggestion that you are edit warring.

 * Hi AntientNestor,
 * I would be happy to go over it with you so that we can enrich this historical page. When it comes to the additions in question - If you would suggest more references, I am happy to do so, rather than a blanket removal of the edits. Some people tend to do blanket removals without discourse as a form of racking up edits, so naturally its best we have a discourse to guard against any such impressions.
 * If there are certain words or connotations that you query, let's have a discourse about it to see if it can be adjusted. Although, when it comes to the effect an author had on the 20th century, as well as other writers - A certain sense of description is necessary to illustrate such impact. Could you cite which exact statements you regard as 'puffery' so that we can address your concerns to uplift this article?
 * Kind regards. Sean Waltz O&#39;Connell (talk) 07:25, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Best place for discussions about such a prominent article would be on the its own talk page, where everybody may see. AntientNestor (talk) 08:38, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
