Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Royal Family Order of Elizabeth II, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. DrKay (talk) 11:15, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi DrKay, I'm way out of touch with editing, had some rare time on my hands and was doing some research with my reference library, and thought I'd start some edits to bring the pages up to date with what has been published over 20 years ago.

Just explored the alerts messaging and seen your comments. Apologies for creating issues. No malicious intent at all.

Any assistance and advice appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Royal Family Order of Elizabeth II. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. DrKay (talk) 11:28, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi DWStudham! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Royal Family Order of Elizabeth II 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.

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Royal Family Order of Elizabeth II, you may be blocked from editing. Please note that continuing to mark major edits as minor after being asked to stop is disruptive. Continuing to insert original research after being cautioned is also disruptive.
