I wasn't aware there was a policy on what counts as minor -- can you 
point me to this policy?

I've had a look at one of your edits --
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Ronald_Reagan&diff=4234337&oldid=4234278

and this one is IMO an NPOV violation and contains a misspelling.

I actually agree with your POV that Reagan didn't cause the end of 
the USSR, however I think the way you worded it was bad, and, as 
written, unacceptable to Wikipedia.
