  Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Lady Moyra Butler, you may be blocked from editing. Drmies (talk) 01:28, 17 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Lady Moyra Butler, you may be blocked from editing. Drmies (talk) 01:30, 17 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your feedback; for future reference, is quoting a newspaper article source from a paid-subscription digital newspaper archive by using the newspaper name, page, article title and date insufficient without a URL?
Also if you could help me 'do better' in the future by providing any further specific examples of referencing which would be considered 'poorly sourced'? I'd like to avoid doing this going forward. CarolinetheFifteenth! (talk) 14:00, 17 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Hi CarolinetheFifteenth!! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna of Russia (1890–1958) 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. DrKay (talk) 06:53, 30 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
