Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that in this edit to Valentino Rossi, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. 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. Adakiko (talk) 04:13, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

Marking changes as minor
Hi Sinwave! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at Dani Pedrosa 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. --Rocknrollmancer (talk) 21:57, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Unsourced changes to a WP:BIOGRAPHY
I have added a section at Talk:Dani Pedrosa as I cannot find ANY Google sources mentioning "Silent Samurai" OTHER than the highly-promotional Red Bull video. I've added a link showing the rear of one of his race helmets which similarly does not use this Silent Samurai script, just a caricaturised emblem.

There is therefore no evidence that this has ever been used, historically, or that he is known worldwide, as you wrote into the article. This is known as original research, ie., voicing your own inner thoughts. Thank you.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 23:24, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
