Induction
Hi, Hotgardener! I don't understand your recent edit to Induction cooking. Your es was, "Spacing for clarity." But that is…not what you did. Before your edit, to the section on "Other considerations," there was one paragraph with 3 negative considerations (technique, pacemakers, radio), and then 1 paragraph with 1 positive consideration (accessibility). Your edit moved radio into its own paragraph.

That did not affect "clarity." What it did was affect emphasis. I don't think it's the right emphasis, either. To the extent any of these issues are more important than the others, it's a tough editorial call, but I would say it's clear that radio interference is less important than either baseline functionality ("I only flambé and now I can't!", or whatever) or health and safety ("Now I'm dead!").

If you want to make edits that are about editorial judgement, then sure, go ahead. Ideally if they're controversial or significantly change the emphasis you'll discuss them on the Talk page. But, at least in my view, it's problematic to say that you're just editing "spacing" (and paragraph separation and organization is not spacing!) for "clarity" when what you're doing is editing sentence structure and composition for varying emphasis.
