Information icon Hi Shakeandvac! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Malcolm J. Bennett 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. Thank you.

Hi there- thanks for the advice. I am new to this. I thought it was minor as all I did was link the stub to preexisting categories.
That probably was minor, it was an edit on 26th Jan I was thinking of. Anything you get stuck with you, feel free to let me know on my talk page! -Kj cheetham (talk) 18:17, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Where to place ref tags

[edit]

Hi, the following should help with placement of punctuation in regards to references, I have corrected your ref edits in Campuses of the University of Nottingham

Ref tags should follow any punctuation (usually a period), not precede it; see WP:REFPUNC. There should be no space between the punctuation and the tag:

Markup Renders as
...text.<ref>Content of the reference</ref>
{{reflist}}

...text.[1]     Right

  1. ^ Content of the reference
...text<ref>Content of the reference</ref>.
{{reflist}}

...text[1].     Wrong (tag before punctuation)

  1. ^ Content of the reference
...text. <ref>Content of the reference</ref>
{{reflist}}

...text. [1]     Wrong (space before tag)

  1. ^ Content of the reference
