July 2021

Hi GovGuide! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Quora 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.

what edit did i put that change meaning so i can see — Preceding unsigned comment added by GovGuide (talk • contribs)

Hi GovGuide, very few of your edits meet Wikipedia’s narrow definition of “minor” edits. They aren’t necessarily incorrect edits, but they aren’t minor. For example:

• Quora: Rewriting the lead sentence (and breaking a reference in the “2020” section)
• Tourism in Indonesia Renaming headers and reordering sections
• Regency (Indonesia): Changing the lead sentence
• IP address: Changing the first two sentences

Again, this isn’t saying the edits are wrong (though some have introduced issues), but that they aren’t minor (like fixing a typo or a formatting error, or reverting vandalism). Let me know if you have any questions. Also, you may find Help:Talk pages useful for learning how to indent and sign talk page comments. Best, POLITANVM ^talk 14:10, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please use edit summaries, so other editors can tell what you changed. POLITANVM ^talk 17:16, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Long articles

You can add {{Very long}} at the top of articles that you consider to be too long. Immediately after doing so, start a discussion at the article's talk page detailing why the article is too long and where any particular problems are. Mjroots (talk) 05:48, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello GovGuide! Your additions to Law of Norway have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 17:59, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edits

I reverted your edits to cosmic ray and some articles on legal systems. They dropped citations, introduced grammar and spelling mistakes, and made the text less clear. Is there a particular reason you're trying to rewrite the intro to so many articles on legal systems?Citing (talk) 15:06, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I can see several issues here on your talk page about which you might have questions, but you'll need to be more specific.

Also, GovGuide sounds so much like an official or organizational name that i may not comply with our username policy. You should consider changing it. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:03, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Judiciary of Norway, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use your sandbox. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 02:10, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
