Hi Syncopating! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at Jacinda Ardern 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.

 * Hi Schwede66! Thanks for the message :-) Apologies for the misdesignation. I'm new to Wikipedia and really loving it, but also upskilling, so I appreciate you pointing this out. Will note that for next time. Syncopating (User talk:Syncopating) 20:55, 26 July 2021 (GMT+13)


 * No big deal. There are a million little rules; I still discover new ones after more than a decade! If you need a hand or have questions, head over to my talk page and ask.  Schwede 66  09:49, 26 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks Schwede66 – very much appreciated :-). Syncopating (User talk:Syncopating) 22:21, 26 July 2021 (GMT+13)

Lead sections
Hi. Thank you for your contributions to the Jacinda Ardern article. The information is relevant but it is more appropriate to expand the main body of the article, which in the case of your edit would be the section. I moved moved your text to that section. The introduction (lead) section is supposed to be a brief summary and the content of the introduction ought to be the most relevant details. See WP:LEAD for an overview. Thanks again. --Hazhk (talk) 17:10, 20 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Further to that, it’s worthwhile for new editors to leave the lead section of well established articles alone. Work on text in the body of those articles until you get a good understanding of how Wikipedia works.  Schwede 66  19:41, 20 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi Schwede66 and Hazhk – Thanks for the message :-) Makes sense, however this activity is clearly 'policical' not 'early life and education' so have moved it down. Syncopating (User talk:Syncopating) 10:30, 24 August 2021 (GMT+13)

Another little rule
