  Hi ScissorMeRamses! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Death by burning 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.

Hello Meters! Thank you for the heads up, I'll be sure to take a closer look at the help page for that. Please pardon me for posting the abstract on the talk page; I didn't know it was a copyright violation. ScissorMeRamses (talk) 01:51, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
The page is clearly marked "© 2022 American Association for the Advancement of Science", and even if the copyright were not listed, we have to assume that web content is copyrighted unless explicitly marked otherwise. You cannot simply copy material from the web. Meters (talk) 01:55, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
