[edit]Hi VillageProper! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Media prank 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. Thank you. BBQboffingrill me 19:50, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hello BBQboffin! Thank you for your feedback. Should I go back into Media prank and change the nature of the edit? I do have proper citations to back up the edits that were made. Thanks again. VillageProper (talk) 00:30, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- Add it back with the citations, definitely! BBQboffingrill me 01:04, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- Will do! Laura Blackwell with WABC-TV won the Emmy's Outstanding Individual Craft Award in 1976 for It's a Dog's Life on Skagg's Cathouse for Dogs. Of course they had to retract it after they learned it was a hoax.https://www.nyemmys.org/media/nominations/20th%20Annual%20New%20York%20Emmy%20Awards.pdf
- Thanks! VillageProper (talk) 01:21, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- Let's discuss the content on the article's talk page. I don't know the story about the winning-and-retracting but if there's a reliable source for that, it would be a wonderful addition to the Media Prank article. Cheers! BBQboffingrill me 04:14, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- Add it back with the citations, definitely! BBQboffingrill me 01:04, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
