Edit summaries
I noticed that some of the summaries from edits by this IP address have been more conversational than informative. While such comments can be amusing, please consider that the main purpose of edit summaries is to help editors, when reviewing page changes, to find likely points at which information was added, deleted, or otherwise changed. For instance, "I can't help if" gives no indication that the quote "I've invented a device called 'the basement'" was added. Something like "+invented basement" would be much more useful. Just a thought. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 20:22, 21 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I've found it helps when people get too hasty with the "Rollback" button to put something in there that makes them stop and look at what the edit was. 68.39.174.238 13:28, 25 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Personally, I don't think one should be using a rollback (as opposed to a manual revision) unless one has actually examined the changes. Edit summaries are not reliable enough to use as a basis for rollback. What they are good for is saving time trying to find a particular change. It doesn't always work, of course, but it saves an awful lot of time when it does. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:30, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
