Hi Simmons1998! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at List of explorers 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. TylerBurden ( talk) 00:53, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
You called Henry I Sinclair, Earl of Orkney an explorer and added him to List of explorers but there is no reliable evidence that he was - there are a lot of legends about him but no reliable sources which is why his article only calls him a legendary explorer. Then you added text saying he subdued the Faroe Islands which again is not correct, which is why Faro Islands also doesn't mention it. Please read WP:VERIFY and WP:RS. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 11:52, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
You've been reverted twice for calling the fringe theories about Sinclair Legends. They clearly are not. Legend says "A legend is a genre of folklore that consists of a narrative featuring human actions, believed or perceived, both by teller and listeners, to have taken place in human history. Narratives in this genre may demonstrate human values, and possess certain qualities that give the tale verisimilitude. Legend, for its active and passive participants may include miracles. Legends may be transformed over time to keep them fresh and vital." How does that apply to the Sinclair stories? Doug Weller talk 12:30, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
An edit war? I've studied Sinclair family for a long time and their is NO evidence that conclusively identifies Henry as "Zichmni" from the Zeno Narrative. There is no mention of him even once. It is all wild speculation and here say and thus making it folklore. It is a desperate attempt to claim a pre Columbian voyage and nothing more. Simmons1998 ( talk) 14:33, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
Yes, it is used elsewhere. But no evidence that it’s well known. Please read Wikipedia:BLPRIVACY and if you want to be helpful remove it completely from the article. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 14:30, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Schazjmd. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Audie Murphy, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please explain how a novel by Trollope first published in 1869 provides verification of someone joining the Army in 2008.
