| I hope the huge series of changes I just made to that page are more or less to your liking. Once I finally sunk my teeth into it, I saw one thing after another that needed to be fixed with a chainsaw. | |||
| We'll see if people revert me like they did you, although I am hiding behind a +10 magical user name. :-P Plus I've been providing extensive rationales for my changes -- as you seem to have learned by now, if you take the time to explain what you're doing and why (and people actually agree with the explanation), they're much less likely to get in your way. | |||
| It'll also help that none of my changes constitute "new instructions" -- mostly I just simplified a lot of existing instruction and pointed to related guidance that is already in place on other pages. | |||
| Sorry to add the micro-lecture, but I felt like explaining why I'm likelier to get away with such massive changes than you are. You've clearly been getting the hang of it, though, so I'll take this opportunity to compliment you on that.--] (]) 06:22, 5 March 2010 (UTC) | |||
| Oh, and sorry about , it came off sounding condescending. Nonetheless I'm pretty sure someone did mention it to you before.--] (]) 08:56, 5 March 2010 (UTC) | |||

| :::Looking at the history, the editor made 68 edits in 45 minutes, but most were tiny fixes - I suppose the speed may have looked like a bot. A lot were a change of otheruses3 to otheruses - which is correct - indeed most of the edits have not been reverted, one can also see longer time gaps in the contibutions where the editor has been adding data to a talk page, a bot would not do that.

| == Commons and Wikispecies template formatting == | |||
| Please stop unilaterally changing templates from inline ones to floating boxes (for example, ] to ]. The separate templates are maintained for a reason, and particular formatting was clearly chosen by those articles' editors. Further, in some instances, you've changed ] to ]. So this all just seems indiscriminate and a personal preference rather than a constructive change. Perhaps you should discuss it somewhere centralized first to see if others agree with what you want to do to apparently many, many articles. ''']''' ('']'') 06:05, 7 March 2010 (UTC) | |||
