I clicked on your contributions out of curiosity, and I noticed you're marking most of your edits as minor, yet the ones I looked at aren't actually minor. It's an understandable mistake – I often did the same thing when I was starting out here. The Wikipedia definition of minor is different to what most of us expect. I reviewed Help:Minor edit many times, trying to decide if the changes I was making were minor. It helped me to think of a minor edit as a change that a reader is unlikely to notice (unless it's reverting obvious vandalism: this also counts as minor). Maybe it fixes a typo, or corrects the format of a reference without adding any new information. It doesn't change or add anything very noticeable to the page, and other editors are unlikely to argue about it. I hope this helps. If you have any questions, you can reply to me here; I'll keep your talk page on my watchlist for a bit. Happy editing! BlackcurrantTea (talk) 04:17, 10 February 2020 (UTC) Thanks for letting me know! Its very helpful since I just started being an editor. I checked out the help page and its useful, so thanks! I'm a student so I probably won't get a lot of time to work on wikipedia but I think it's a very interesting place. I like it's goals and would really enjoy to help out! If there are any interesting groups that you think I would be interested in joining, like Wikipedia:WikiProject Orphanage, please let me know. If there are any other things that would recommend checking out, please let me know! Once again, thanks! SnazzyInfinity 22:07, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
No, that was a message I wrote, not a template. I don't have time right now; you could leave them a note yourself. There's a related template you can use, {{Uw-minor}}; the instructions are in the documentation lower down on the same page. Of course, you can always write your own message, too. Thanks.

It's and itsHi, if you are going to be an effective member of the typo team then you need to have a reasonably good grasp of English grammar. "It's" is a contraction of "it is" (or "it has"). This means that where you find "it's" you expect to be able to replace it with "it is". There is currently no such thing as an "ownership" apostrophe with "it's". There was prior to around 1900, and you will find some quotes in older material pre-dating 1900 where it is used in this manner. These quotes are left as they are, or some editors add a hidden [sic] template entry, which is of no consequence. Consequently in Wikipedia you will find: (1) Ownership apostrophe in material that pre-dates around 1900. (2) Contraction of "it is" in direct quotes. (3) contractions in text that should be expanded per WP:MOS, and (3) faulty entries. Let's take for instance these snippets from a couple of sentences that you wrote: ......wikipedia but I think it's a very interesting place. I like it's goals and would really....... Where you have written, "I think it's a very...", then you can replace "it's" with "it is". Fine, you have used a contraction.
Where you state, "I like it's goals...", if we insert "it is" for "it's" the sentence reads, "I like it is goals....". Doesn't make sense does it?
So, to repeat; there is currently no such thing as an "ownership" apostrophe with "it's". The fact that thousands of people on the internet make this elementary grammatical mistake does not make it so.

(You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{teahouse talkback}} template. Thanks for the kind words on my draftI did happen to read your message on my talk page, and I thank you for your kind words and the help. I would submit it, but since we're so small we don't have an requirements in WP:NBAND so that draft will have to wait until we can maybe get something on a chart for music. So uh, thank you, and I haven't much else to say. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xdude gamer (talk • contribs) 15:44, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Jonathan Basile (December 3)![]() This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was:
does not appear to pass WP:NAUTHOR? Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
Star TrekAttempts to correct Star Trek article frustrated. The paragraph after the top ten episode list references a list of "sixteen". On light of that the breakdown and meaning of the paragraph become mute. You have to read it. Turin07 (talk) 01:41, 6 December 2020 (UTC) Your thread has been archived

A recent pending edit you acceptedHi, it seems you recently accepted an edit here here which I reverted for the reason that most of the categories that were added do not apply and/or are redundant. Let me explain:
Although I am not holding you responsible for this edit you accepted, I thought I would just explain why I reverted it. P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 16:37, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
