Minor edits

edit

I hate to be churlish, but you made the same mistake as has been made by many (most?) new editors: your addition of citations, welcome though they are, was not a "minor edit" in Wikipedia terms. That description is for trivial spelling or grammar corrections. Size doesn't matter: for example, changing "not" to "now" is just one letter but could be very significant. For more info, see WP:minor edit. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 19:29, 3 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

I’ll prefer not to use minor edit at all, as every edit needs to be reviewed, whether or not it’s minor is irrelevant to me Senomo Drines (talk) 15:29, 25 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Typography

edit

Good idea to quote the directly-copied definition at Enantioselective synthesis! The MOS:CURLY style guideline instructs us to use straight-quotes, not curly ones. Could you update your change to conform to that? DMacks (talk) 03:29, 11 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thank you very much Senomo Drines (talk) 15:28, 25 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Harvard University Edit

edit

I don’t want to edit war. It’s simply standardization. Every other top university states it almost exactly the same. “Among the top/most prestigious universities [in the world]. It’s worded like that because it’s not really controversial. Harvard is among the most prestigious universities on earth. Saying that it is “regarded as THE most prestigious”, while citing a source that doesn’t say that doesn’t make sense. You stated that you wanted to change it to avoid bias and subjectivity, while stating it in a way that is debatably more bias and subjective. Harvard is currently not ranked as the #1 university by most top uni rankings, but it is always in the top 5, making it AMONG the most prestigious universities in the world based on both rankings and statistics.

Changed the phrase to “regarded as one of the most prestigious” Senomo Drines (talk) 15:27, 25 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
