Just so you know, I've actually joined Wikipedia back in 2014. It's just that I don't use my old Wikipedia account "Dilly Mackey" anymore. And by the way, you're welcome. --Dylanmc678 (talk) 10:03, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi Dylanmc678! 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.

Removing gender information from articles

I've found many articles where you have removed information regarding the gender of a person or persons from Wikipedia without any explanation and without any obvious good reason. Examples:[1][2][3][4][5]. These are just the ones that I found. Please stop doing this; it can be considered a subtle form of vandalism, which can get you blocked from editing. --Flopsy Mopsy and Cottonmouth (talk) 02:59, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello. I've reverted some of your edits removing gender-related information, because the removals did not seem constructive. Using gender-neutral language is recommended by the manual of style, but it is not an absolute requirement, and is secondary to the overriding principles of clarity and precision. This means that when sex or gender is specified (or implied beyond a reasonable doubt) in sources, it should not be removed simply to satisfy style.

Context matters as well; if a current or historical government/royal position has only ever been filled by individuals of one sex, and the culture or law makes no allowance for any other and no significant instances of breaking such a trend has been identified in any literature, it does not make sense to describe it in gender neutral terms as the subject is inherently gendered.

I hope this clears it up for you.

Disambiguation link notification for October 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Markiplier, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Producer. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

"Luka"

Regardless of whether Jillette has actually adopted the name (nickname?) "Luka", you left that sentence pointing to the original source. The original source says nothing about the nickname "Luka". If you introduce a new fact, you need to introduce a new source. I've removed it, pending a new source. DS (talk) 17:55, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Edit on Tom Scott (YouTuber)

Hello, I noticed that on the page Tom Scott (YouTuber) you changed the word "men" to "people" in the early career section about Actual Facebook Graph Searches. I've reverted the edit as the source uses the term "men" and the data was specifically about men and not people. -- Cosmic6811 🍁 (T · C) 04:28, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Edit on Simon Cowell

Hello, I've reverted your edit on the page Simon Cowell. The show at first was not just finding singers. It was specifically male singers. It appears that you are trying to change terms to be gender-neutral but please make sure that you aren't changing them when they are supposed to be gendered. Thank you -- Cosmic6811 🍁 (T · C) 04:46, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Edit on Hershey, Pennsylvania

Hello, I've reverted your edit on the page Hershey, Pennsylvania. The source uses the term "boys" not "kids". Changing these terms may cause confusion for the reader. "Kids" implies that there the kids could be of different genders which isn't the case in this context. Feel free to change it back if you find a source that states the school was also for kids of other genders. -- Cosmic6811 🍁 (T · C) 04:50, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Edit on Dane Boedigheimer

Hello, I've reverted your edit on the page Dane Boedigheimer as it is supposed to be a quote. If you didn't know what a quote is, a quote is an exact wording that somebody has said. Using square brackets does not magically make words able to be changed. By doing so, you are attributing these words to having being said by somebody when they did not say it. Please educate yourself on what a quote is and how it works. Maybe next time you could add a note to clarify that the words were said before the pronoun change instead of misquoting somebody which is something that should never be done. -- Cosmic6811 🍁 (T · C) 20:43, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Please stop removing information from articles

I have reverted several more of your edits for the same reasons that I mentioned before. Please stop indiscriminately removing words without regard to the meaning of the text you are editing. Frogging101 (talk) 19:57, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
