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.

UNC Recruits 2013

Hey,

I like that you are editing North Carolina pages. But please do not re-add that information I removed under the recruits for 2013 banner. As a heads up and a goal for you to work toward this page is how a football season page should look. Disc Wheel (Malk + Montributions) 13:25, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
