=== Auto marking any edit as minor edit ===
 +
Hi Jay. I think [http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/Special:Contributions/JayRulesXKCD I can see] that you have set your editor up to auto mark any edit as minor edit. When removing hundred of characters or adding new sections that is not considered a minor edit. By the way I did the same mistake when I began editing here as you can see from [[User_talk:Kynde#Marking_edits_as_minor_edits|this (less gentle)]] comment on my user page.

*If you haven't noticed before then you can find and change the setting like this:
 +
**Under preferences (link at the top next to your name and talk page)
 +
**Switch to [http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing Editing tab] (do not know if the link works like this for you?)
 +
**Un-mark the check box next to: ''Mark all edits minor by default''
 +

By the way the reason I notice was that you have marked the comic [[596: Latitude]] as [http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=596%3A_Latitude&diff=126764&oldid=124801 complete after editing in] what I wished to know (i made it incomplete). And since you only made it as a minor edit I would not get any notification if I had decided to follow the page to see if someone helped me with the explanation. But I try to note down when I make a comic incomplete to get back later and see if it has been resolved. So thanks a lot :-)

And I hope you did not feel as uncomfortable as I did when I was told off in the comment to my talk page that I lined to .;-)

::Sorry about that. The box was not checked, but I manually set a majority of my posts to "minor" as I did not think they were major posts. I just figured that a major post would be a large paragraph or something. I apologize for that. I'll fix that for next time.

:::Hey as I said it's about learning. I thought the same as you. You could say that any time you change a comic from complete to incomplete or vice versa it is by definition a big change. But I think small changes are for copy/edit, rephrasing, moving one section below another, and adding a category. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 13:22, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

::::Got it. Thank you. Made sure not to make the same mistake when I was making the explanation for today's comic complete. xD --[[User:JayRulesXKCD|'''JayRules''XKCD'''  ]]<sup>[[User talk:JayRulesXKCD|what's up?]]</sup> 17:17, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
