Marking edits

Hi Peter0027. Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. I hope you will continue to participate in this amazing collaborative project. I have one minor point of feedback about marking edits. The "minor" edit tick box is intended only to be used for correcting typos, adding wikilinks or similar changes that do not materially affect content. So changing the name of a person in a list is not a minor edit. Some editors screen out minor edits from their watchlist, on the assumption that these edits can be ignored. You will understand that marking an edit as minor when it is actually a material change in content can cause concern. For details, see WP:MINOR. Thanks _Marshelec (talk) 01:20, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi Marshelec

Thank You for drawing my attention to my incorrect use of ticking the minor edit box. Also Thank You for the information and explanation. I can now see how this can cause concern. I am confident I won't be making the mistake in the future. Many Thanks_Peter0027 Peter0027 (talk) 11:32, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Auckland Meetup on 2 Nov

Kia ora Peter, I hope you've been well! Could I check if you're interested in coming to our next Auckland meetup this Saturday at 10:00AM? We're trying out a new venue, Samoa House on Karangahape Road. --Prosperosity (talk) 22:18, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Kia ora Prosperosity,

I am going well. Thanks! Samoa House sounds a good choice of venue. Yes I would be interested in coming to the next Auckland meetup this Saturday.

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (November 30)

Your recent article submission has been rejected and cannot be resubmitted. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Dan arndt was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia.

Dan arndt (talk) 01:34, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Peter0027! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Dan arndt (talk) 01:34, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
