Happy editing! Tacyarg (talk) 18:11, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Do you think the edits are ok? I'm a little nervous about being overzealous since I'm new. :) Susan.Uttendorfsky (talk) 21:23, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

After your editing on Arndell Anglican College, I thought it looked fine, and the copyedit issues were cleared up. So I removed the {{copyedit}} template. Then I noticed you added {{Issues|{{copy edit}}}}. ({{Issues}} is used to nest a number of other templates noting issues.) So I edited to leave just the single {{copyedit}} template. Is that what you intended? Because the article really does look fine to me from a copyedit perspective. _signed, Willondon (talk) 13:52, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reviewing my edits. The part about the headmaster signing the discrimination act is ok? If yes, and you've decided no additional copyediting is needed, then please do delete whatever template is there (or whatever I accidentally added). Many thanks!

OK, I removed the copyedit template. Is it the headmaster signing the petition in 2018 you mean? I see that shows up twice in the article, and it isn't sourced in either case. It should come out if it can't be reliably sourced. _signed, Willondon (talk) 14:40, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is sourced, but I thought perhaps it was subjective information that shouldn't be included... Susan.Uttendorfsky (talk) 14:58, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I was really just copyediting; I didn't intend to attend to anything else. Anyway, I didn't see sources for any of the material in that section, so I added a {{unsourced section}} template. If it's true, I don't see that that's subjective. Without a secondary source that noted it, though, it could be questioned as to whether it's noteworthy. My two cents. _signed, Willondon (talk) 15:06, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks! Susan.Uttendorfsky (talk) 15:22, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Susan.Uttendorfsky! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Record producer 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. Your edited sentence also didn't seem to make sense, so I have reverted it. That the words "but" and "despite" are "words to watch" just means to be cautious when using them, not that they must always be erased on sight. Lord Belbury (talk) 14:09, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good day! Many thanks for the explanation and for undoing my inappropriate changes. I misunderstood and thought they should be deleted (and didn't realize the change in meaning). I will read the page you noted and be more careful. Maybe I should stick to eliminating double spaces for now! :) Susan.Uttendorfsky (talk) 14:20, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

HiSusan.Uttendorfsky! The thread you created at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, Adopt-a-Typo, has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days. You can still read the archived discussion. If you have follow-up questions, please create a new thread. See also the help page about the archival process. The archival was done by Lowercase sigmabot III, and this notification was delivered by Muninnbot, both automated accounts. You can opt out of future notifications by placing {{bots|deny=Muninnbot}} on top of the current page (your user talk page). Muninnbot (talk) 19:01, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Susan!

Please stop using imdb links as I noticed you did at Mary Higgins Clark. The reasons for not using that type of link are explained at WT:WikiProject_Film/Archive 79#Masking imdb links as wikilinks. IMDB is not ever a reliable source for Wikipedia. Links to IMDB, if any, should use {{imdb title}} and be in the external links section of articles. Even there they should only used sparingly (see WP:IMDB/BLP for the guidline). Thanks. Mike Turnbull (talk) 20:40, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh no! I see they're no longer on Mary Higgins Clark. I've also been working on Hilary Bailey but I have no IMDB links there, so I'm ok.

Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me this. As a new editor on Wikimedia, I wasn't aware of this. Susan.Uttendorfsky (talk) 20:46, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
