Problem with the edit toSaponaria

Hello. While I am sure it was well meant, your edit toSaponariawas did not have a citation. When I went to look for a reference to support it I found a book that specifically contradicted the information you added. This is why it is important to always reference your edits. If you have other similar edits you should go back over them and make sure that what you think is right can be proven.🌿MtBotany(talk)03:14, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Marking edits as minor when you add a whole paragraph and citation

Hi Conovaloff! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor atTibetan Buddhismthat 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 astypo correctionsor reverting obviousvandalism.Any edit that changes themeaningof an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you.Skyerise(talk)18:58, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
