You also may find it helpful to read WP:MINOR which explains what edits count as minor and which as major. From your contributions, it seems you are incorrectly marking your edits as minor. Hope this helps! SamWilson989 (talk) 19:05, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your feedback @SamWilson989! I saw that WP:MINOR page earlier, and I'm not sure where I went wrong. If you don't mind, could you provide an example or two of where you think I could have improved so I can avoid such mistakes in the future? Anderjef (talk) 22:06, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. WP:MINOR states that "Adding or removing references / citations, external links, or categories in an article" should not be marked as minor changes. This is because sometimes those additions (or removals) can be erroneous - an editor might add references that are unreliable. It is always a bit of a grey area what counts as minor and what counts as major but it's always safer to not mark it as minor if there's ever any doubt. You may find another editor comes along and tells me that I'm wrong. But in the case of your CGP Grey edits or your edits to History of Turpan (where you were adding lots of cleanup tags), I think it would be better if they were marked as major edits. Thanks!
