Minor Edits

Minor Edits are superficial edits that could improve the aesthetics of an article. They include: correcting typos, rearranging article content without modifying, formatting etc. Minor edits are important as they can make the articles more attractive. However, minor edits should not devalue the efforts of the author.

►If you tick the option "This is a minor edit" option, your profile will not be displayed under the "Latest Author" section.
