Edit summaries and minor edits

I'm concerned that you are marking significant edits as "minor". Do you have "mark all edits as minor" set in your preferences? Edits should only be marked as "minor" if they do not change the meaning of the article, such as fixing typos or adjusting formatting. Also, in this edit you made many unexplained changes and deletions, with an edit summary that only mentions one aspect of the edit.[1] In addition to leaving me wondering why you made those changes it is a bit confusing to other editors who watch the page. Can you please be more explicit in your edit summaries? Lastly, can you explain your edits on the Coughlin talk page? Thanks. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 00:00, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

I've restored the earlier version because you made so many changes without explanation. However I kept the cite requests that you added. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 22:50, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
