Al Franken, and "minor" edits

The article on Franken rightly has a substantial section on "Sexual misconduct allegations". The introduction to the article rightly says that "Franken resigned on January 2, 2018, after several allegations of sexual misconduct were made against him." To me, this seems enough. Perhaps to you it does not. If it doesn't, please argue for this in Talk:Al Franken. And when you do edit articles, be candid in your edit summaries about what you are doing. This was not a "Minor edit to clarify one sentence and add references to current status of subject". The meaning of "minor edit" is explained here. -- Hoary (talk) 07:08, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have no real interest in "arguing" (as you invite me to do.) A minor edit to better summarize overall content is just that, a minor edit that more completely, and appropriately summarizes the articles content about the subject. You disagree, and invite a pissing match over a subject that scarcely rates inclusion in wiki? No thank-you. -30- and "8.46.95.20 (talk) 15:26, 20 January 2020 (UTC)"[reply]

February 2020

Hello, I'm Schazjmd. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Andraya Yearwood, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. You added After lackluster competive results on boys' teams prior to apparent transitioning,, but there is nothing in the source that says anything about her performance on boys' teams.
