[edit] Minor edit
Thank you for your edit to Income tax. While articles are not owned, some of us watch various articles of interest, to guard against vandalism and to help ensure that edits are verifiable and on point, etc.
You included some good summary information on Canada's income tax and marked your edit as "minor". Most editors would disagree: they use the minor edit flag only to indicate grammar, spelling or punctuation changes, but not for any edit that affects the intended meaning of the article. Flagging a substantive change as "minor" may leave others with an impression you are trying to sneak a questionable edit through, so I advise you not to do it.
Happy editing! Robert A.West (Talk) 21:57, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, I am relatively new to Wikipedia and had the default set as minor edit. I am going to change this as I sometimes miss to change it back. Thanks for the advice! Taxee 22:03, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Radio lists
Hi...I see you're fairly new, so I just wanted to let you know that the proper format for a radio stations by province list isn't to replace the wikilinks with external web URLs; you should actually write up a Wikipedia article on the radio station and then put the external link on that, but leave the list as linking to the Wikipedia articles only. We don't want our readers to have to leave Wikipedia to get any information at all about the radio stations; we want them to get as much info as they can get from us, and then follow the link if they're interested in learning even more. Thanks. (And if you write up articles, don't forget to add the appropriate "Radio stations in [province]" category.) Bearcat 09:59, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks but what do you do if there is no wikilink? What I did was replace the wikilinks that didn't go anywhere with an external link so that a user that is looking for more info will at least have somewhere to go. I appreciate that these external links can and should be replaced with valid wikilinks as and when articles are added. However, isn't an external link better than a broken wikilink?
