=my general attitude toward wikipedia copyediting=

cites
Cites (and sources) should be live. Any source which is dead when i view it and bother to check, is an invalid source unless it's a server error. The internet does not forget, and therefore any sufficiently verified and accurate claim should be hosted someplace trusted and reliable. This means if the domain in a cite has been sold/traded, or the page no longer contains the information (in the form necessary to back up the "ref'd" section), i will remove it, with comment to that effect.

This is not vandalism, it's pursuing facts.

grammar, punctuation, clarity, etc
I will occasionally make edits, be they logged in or not, to correct conciseness, grammar, spelling, or punctuation. If i can think of a better way to elucidate a sentence i will attempt to rewrite it. If i feel the edit will make the flow of the article better, or more factual, i will submit the edit.

Pinckney article edits
I saw sources that we are unable to verify that stated that the state senator was campaigning with Hilary the day that he was murdered. As much as I would like to find these sources, the message could be inflammatory, and therefore should be subjected to additional scrutiny and tests of veracity.

Microwave edits
Cited source page domain lost, invalid cite.
