Marking an edit as minor edit

Latest comment: 10 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hi again, I noticed that you recently marked an edit (to the article Compulsory license) as minor although it wasn't. "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. --Edcolins (talk) 19:40, 23 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Understood. Thanks.

I should have consulted the definition of "minor edit". In my mind, it was a minor edit because I simply provided a little more information to substantiate what was already in the Article.

I will be more careful in the future. RomanLegalScholar (talk) 16:09, 24 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Your submission at Articles for creation: Commercial law intersection (February 24) edit

Latest comment: 3 months ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Stuartyeates was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The underlying article has like 14 citations (I checked with google scholar, because it's the free one). That doesn't speak to independent coverage.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Commercial law intersection and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
