 Tips
  • Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
  • It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
  • If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Sign your messages with four tildes (~~~~), be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
  • When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
  • If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
  • Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Northern Ireland Protocol

edit

With regret, I had to undo most of your edit to the Northern Ireland Protocol. The reason that the article says "Good Friday Agreement / Belfast Agreement" is to try to avoid taking sides if at all possible. Unionists prefer the term "Belfast Agreement", Nationalists prefer "Good Friday Agreement", so we have to give both. See also Stroke City.

I kept but changed slightly the link you added for the Sandy Row riots. You attached the link to a generic form of words (see Street fighting): more words needed to be included to make it obvious that the link is to this specific episode. See policy WP:EGG.

I recognise that your edits were in good faith so I hope that your next edits prove more productive – especially if you avoid such political minefields! Welcome again to Wikipedia. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 18:25, 10 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

@John Maynard Friedman Alright, thank you! I was not aware that the naming of the agreement was a point of contention. Although, I will say that I think it's better to say "Good Friday Agreement (or Belfast Agreement)" instead of "Good Friday (or Belfast) Agreement." Again, thank you for correcting me.

Yes, I agree that it is better in general. I suspect that whoever wrote that was trying for a little variety: I guess you noticed that sometimes its "Belfast Agreement / Good Friday Agreement", sometimes "Good Friday Agreement / Belfast Agreement" and other permutations at other times. I'm not surprised that you went to change it as it really does make heavy reading. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 19:38, 10 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Minor edits

edit

For the long explanation, please see WP:MINOR but essentially you should only tag an edit as minor if it is a trivial spelling or grammar change. If it is not obviously minor, don't tag. [Almost every new editor makes this mistake.] --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 22:46, 10 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
