Hello, I'm
Meters. I noticed that you made a change to an article,
Anna Thompson Dodge , 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! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the
referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Changing someone's name is certainly not minor edit. If you have reliable sources, then use them to the article. Merely telling us that you have good sources is useless. And Find-a-Grave is not a reliable source. It is user generated so there is not control over what goes into it. The information may be correct, it may be honestly mistaken, or it could be completely false. There is no way for us to tell.

Thank you for
your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to
Anna Thompson Dodge, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with
Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the
reversion of clear-cut
vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at
Anna Thompson Dodge. Your edits appear to be
disruptive and have been or will be
reverted or removed.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Per WP:BRD you need to take this to the talk page and get consensus. These are major changes that have been challenged. I'm not convinced that teh one website is sufficient to justify changing the whole article. There are many sources that use the original spelling. One of the sources you attempted to use was a blog. Again, that is a user-generated site and is not considerd to be a WP:RS Meters ( talk) 04:06, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Anna Thompson Dodge shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being
blocked from editing—especially if you violate the
three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three
reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Per
WP:BRD you must discuss this edit on the article's talk page. I've started the discussion already. Don't keep changing her name without consensus that it is the correct thing to do.

You are redirecting the edit. The edit is correct. You have never checked any sources.
You never read the sources listed on the findagrave webpage, which are published material. For example, you never checked official Wayne County, MI records or records at the Burton Collection. A death certificate is a reputable source as well. This entry itself is amateur created and the individual who created it went by common internet sources. You are lacking credentials. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WC Fifteen ( talk • contribs) 11:42, November 27, 2015
