Hi LocalF15! I noticed that you recently made an edit and marked it as "minor", but it may not have been. On Wikipedia, "minor edit" refers only to superficial edits that could never be disputed, such as fixing typos or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. TylerBurden (talk) 19:10, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry about that. Thanks for informing me.
- Regarding the Swedish intervention page and the section I removed, I guess bias might have been the wrong word, but it's clear that it overpraises Gustavus:
- The surrounding powers smelled blood, assuming that such a youth could not maintain the gains that the father had won for Sweden. However, Gustavus had first entered the army at the age of 11, and had first-hand knowledge how to govern a kingdom. His training at statecraft had begun at the same age, when later that year his father permitted him to sit in on meetings of the council of state. The neighbouring powers had not assessed the new king accurately.
- Probably because it relies on Dodge mostly (who also overpraised Gustavus from what I've heard). Anyhow, we can take this to the talk page afterwards. LocalF15 (talk) 06:28, 26 November 2025 (UTC)
