[edit] Hi Ilovefood123123! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Hong Kong that 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. Adding references and figures are not minor. — MarkH21talk 13:00, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- My apologies, I never realised the actual meaning for "minor edits", please forgive me as I am rather new to editing the Wikipedia. I appreciate and thank you for pointing this out. Is there a way for me to revert this? Ilovefood123123 (talk) 13:05, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- It's okay! There is no way to change past edits, but you can avoid clicking on the "minor edit" box in the future unless the edit is just fixing a typo or something else mentioned at WP:MINOR. Thanks. — MarkH21talk 19:10, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, I'm Rusty Cat. I noticed that in this edit to Handover of Macau, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Rusty 🐈 15:08, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at University of Hong Kong, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 19:20, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- I was trying to rephrase and update information based on the Hong Kong University Students' Union page. I apologise as I wasn't quite sure how I could cite sources from that, could you please tell me how this is usually done or do I just copy the same sources from that page?
