| 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) | |||

| :::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.
