Hi Imgeller! I noticed that you recently made an edit and marked it as "minor", but it may not have been. "Minor edit" has a 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. Thank you.   ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 21:22, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Since I am very careful about what words I replace I am surprised at this comment. Often there are words that are more specific and that's why I change it. Please send me an example so I can be more careful. Imgeller (talk) 22:20, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

I suggest reading Help:Minor edit, which gives ample examples.   ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 23:09, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Thanks. Next time if you send the example you felt was incorrect that would be more useful for me. Imgeller (talk) 15:02, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

There was no single example. Here is an image with red markup: https://ibb.co/Zz5wmbWJ . I don't anticipate a next time.   ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 15:52, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello - from your edits on the Guggenheim Fellowship article yesterday, I see you are still incorrectly marking substantive edits as minor. You're also lifting entire passages of text from copyrighted sources, which is not permitted; you need to state things in your own words. Funcrunch (talk) 16:10, 15 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi there. Even though this message is old, I did want to address it so that you would know I was paying attention. I have been writing for a long time and am pretty well versed in what it means to paraphrase articles written from other sources and to make citations. As a newer editor in Wikipedia I am also still learning the Wikipedia rules. If I made a mistake I am truly sorry. The Guggenheim article was very exciting to work on and my desire was only wanting to give more important information. I thank you for helping me learn to do the editing in a better more efficient way. Imgeller (talk) 13:42, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

Thankyou for your comment. Always trying to do better. I have checked into this issue and will do better on future edits. Imgeller (talk) 14:53, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing that out. I have stopped marking things as a minor edit as I have received several pointers on that issue.

As to lifting statements from other sources I will go back and check the Giggenheim article to see what you are pointing out. In general if I use a statement verbatum from another source I put it in quote marks o and or reword it. I'm sorry if I missed something. I will check. And again, since "minor edits" seems to be an issue frequently, I am no longer using it for the most part.

Thank you for helping me become a better editor. Imgeller (talk) 17:48, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

Was not trying to change the meaning of the topic. Just adding more general information. Thank you for pointing that out. No problem. Imgeller (talk) 20:11, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Saying you got something from a website in an edit summary is not an adequate method for citing your sources. It should be inline, using <ref> </ref> tags. You can learn more at User:Nick Moyes/Easier Referencing for Beginners. I've repaired your edits to The Source (novel). Schazjmd (talk) 23:40, 31 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi there. I am well aware of the need to cite sources, which I had already begun entering. Sorry for the inconvenience. I will try to do better. Imgeller (talk) 00:25, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Bert Kalmar, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A missing title error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 03:16, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi there. I went back into this article looking for a faulty citation. I found one that was not working and replaced it. If you still see one missing a title please advise me again. Thank you for helping me make the article and sources better. Imgeller (talk) 13:13, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi there. I am sorry for having missed your initial message. I did not see the message till today. I would never intentionally use copyrighted material without permission and without citations. I just wanted to make the article in Wikipedia better. Since I did it a short time ago and went on to other articles, I do appreciate you citing the line and I will go back and check what I did and the source material. I am still learning all the rules. I will also make sure to pay closer attention to the rules as mentioned above. I will be doing this today. Thank you for your notations and advice. Imgeller (talk) 13:35, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

I saw that you added family detail to Abramson, and don't know what to do. It is unusual detail at an unusual place, - normally family comes more to the end of an article, compare Isaiah Jackson. I am not at all sure that familysearch is regarded as a reliable source. I am sure that years in brackets need a space before the opening bracket. As it's late here I'll do nothing. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:56, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi Gerda. Thank you for pointing out those issues. I try to give a complete picture of the person who is the subject of the article because I am always curious. Since I am newer to this vocation in Wikipedia I may have inadvertently changed something that is usually placed differently, and for that I am so sorry. I will review the article today and check the guidelines to make sure it is adjusted correctly. Thank you too for offering a sample as a guideline. Imgeller Imgeller (talk) 13:25, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

You will have seen that you will need a better source. It's not your fault that the article has his marriage at a strange position, and the wording about "survived" towards the end is also unusual. Good luck, and thank you for your curiosity! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:11, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi there again. In going back into the article I see that all of my additions to Mr. Abramson's personal life were deleted. I feel like I should have been given the chance to shift items to a better format to serve Wikipedia standards. The citations I gave were valid. With regard to this man's personal life, his personal information is now again neither complete nor correct! In checking the many other sources to find the missing information, it became clear that the person who wrote that obit for the Times did not check carefully. For example, the wife listed in the wiki article is actually his second wife. His children are from his first wife. And these people have names. I will be checking format for inclusion of family facts later today. Thank you. Imgeller (talk) 14:15, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer Gerda. Imgeller (talk) 14:16, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited The Witcher: The Adventure Card Game, a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rulebook was added. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi there Mariamnei. Thank you for your comments! I was having difficulty at the end because of a conflict in 2 paragraphs. I left a message on the talk page because the Bot wanted to delete everything. Since I cannot go further I will try to finish tomorrow. Thanks again.
