Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Pančevo, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 09:28, 11 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi, can you please point me out to which one?
 * I would be more than glad to provide a source. I just don't know how. Spider orchid (talk) 11:59, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi @Spider orchid, this is a link to the edit that they revered: diff. I don't want to speak for @Materialscientist, but I will say that I think reading No original research, Reliable Sources and Citing Sources may be helpful!  dizzy flamingo  (talk) 03:37, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Eviolite. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Pančevo seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. 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. ev iolite  (talk)  20:39, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Spider orchid! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at Pancevo 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.  dizzy flamingo  (talk) 20:40, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Hi @Spider orchid - it's too late now, but in the future I would recommend only marking edits as minor if they are are extremely superficial and don't change the meaning of the text. The Help:Minor edit page lists some of these as examples of minor edits:
 * Spelling, grammatical, and punctuation corrections
 * Formatting that does not change the meaning of the page (e.g., moving a picture, splitting one paragraph into two—where this is not contentious)
 * Correcting obvious factual errors (e.g., changing "The Pyramids were built in 2500 AD" to "The Pyramids were built in 2500 BC")
 * Adding or correcting wikilinks, or fixing broken external links and references already present in the article
 * Removing obvious vandalism  dizzy flamingo  (talk) 03:30, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
