Happy editing! Kj cheetham (talk) 15:10, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi XA1dUXvugi! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor 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.

Which edit was that? I can't tell where it I can see if an edit I made was minor or not in my contributions page. I don't recall having changed the meaning of a page recently though. XA1dUXvugi (talk) 15:15, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On your contributions page the ones marked as minor should have a bold "m" to the left of the article title I believe. The edits https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comparison_of_satellite_navigation_software&diff=prev&oldid=1089623679&diffmode=source or https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Organic_Maps&diff=prev&oldid=1089616396&diffmode=source for instance are not a minor changes. Hope that helps going forward. -Kj cheetham (talk) 15:18, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

commons:Detailed SVG map of the Hispano-Lusophone world.svg - can you use different colors for Spanish and for Portuguese? Maybe green (por) and red (spa)? With green and red one can also do shades. Yellow as in the original wouldn't be well suited for shades. 77.191.148.102 (talk) 18:06, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The colour scheme is from https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Detailed_SVG_map_of_the_Hispanophone_world.svg and https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Detailed_SVG_map_of_the_Lusophone_world.svg. Changing it would not fit the style of these maps, and would be impractical, as I would have to find similar nuances of another colour.

Maybe you could just use the two maps individually? I'm not too sure why there were grouped together on European integration. XA1dUXvugi (talk) 18:22, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Red green colour blindness is quite common, so those are not great colours to choose. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 19:44, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not one to advise: I thought it was blindingly obvious to reduce Keyboard technology, Computer keyboard and Keyboard layout down to two articles but none of the builders of each of those articles would concede, no matter what WP:CFORK says. I gave up, it is really not that important to get bogged down in detail.

My best advice is, for controversial articles, restrict your changes to max one section a day and wait for a response. A week is not too long between edits. Mass changes just invite mass reverts. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 19:42, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mind that you used my talk page to question my reversion of your WP:bold change to that map, but as a general principle (and specifically per WP:BRD), the place to do it is the article talk page. Who knows, you might find that other editors support your proposition. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 16:51, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
