Feedback to people that edit my postings

Using same/similar formatting as before: If I think a previously used table is useless, I will change it. If an editor comes back to me with valid feedback on why appropriate to keep the original formatting, I will understand. When I don't understand an edit is when they simply revert to the old formatting/post without feedback.

My interpretation of "encyclopedic": I don't offer my interpretation of facts, but I do take the mosaic of facts and use that mosaic to make unbiased factual observations. Sometimes editors will say "original research", but for example if a company has a decline in operating margins, the calculation of those operating margins is not "original research."

Plot summaries for tvs/movies concise an to the point: Some summaries on wikipedia have tons of detail and some don't. If a person is willing to put in more details about a summary, then an editor should not just delete those extra details and say "superfluous", in my opinion. What is superfluous to a random editor may be a useful point of edification for another user.

Opinions versus facts: Of course a page shouldn't have an opinion, but if the writers of a show/movie use plot devices to move a story forward and there is enough supporting detail to explain the motivations of characters, then I think that should be in there.

LAST: if an editor disagrees with my posts, always put in an explanation of why you changed it. I have had multiple instances of an editor taking away one of my postings and then changing it in minor details and then claiming that post as their own.
