minor edits

Hi Glover. I notice you mark all your edits "minor"—at least for the last year. I don't remember where I read it, but somewhere it says the definition of a minor edit is small changes which do not affect the meaning of the text. Adding or subtracting text, or significantly changing a numerical value are not considered minor. Your default option in your preferences is probably set. Cheers. —EncMstr 08:01, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Page formatting

{{helpme}} Hi, I am looking for help with what must be a simple formatting issue. I have checked various help guides and FAQ and cant find the help there.

It seems whenever I use a template box, such as

{{User Australia}}

the next section break does not start on a new line, or paragraph.

This link should show what I mean: http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Glover#About_me_2 . Is there a simple, elegant solution to fix this. I found using tables to enclose stuff kinda works but it seems like a 'bad' way to do it.

Thanks for any suggestions.

{{clear}} will clear out floating sections and start new things on a new line. DoubleBlue (talk) 01:27, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Category:Web development

Your user page is showing up in this category - user pages should not be categorized in the main pagespace, could you fix it please. Thanks 69.106.242.20 (talk) 21:26, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to the encyclopedia! In case you are not already aware, an article to which you have recently contributed, List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming, is on article probation. A detailed description of the terms of article probation may be found at Misplaced Pages:General sanctions/Climate change probation. Also note that the terms of some article probations extend to related articles and their associated talk pages.

The above is a templated message. Please accept it as a routine friendly notice, not as a claim that there is any problem with your edits. Thank you. -- TS 18:11, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pedant, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Arrogant (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
