Your recent edit to Gödel's incompleteness theorems
I have not one but several comments on this edit of yours.

(1) Making purely stylistic changes of arguable quality to articles that you have not edited before is generally frowned upon. This includes bringing formulations in line with traditional prescriptivist style advice that contradicts the practice of the best writers in the English language. As an example, "mechanically possible" is atrocious style and demonstrates what a bad idea it is to follow poor style advice uncritically.

(2) Our general practice is to use the checkbox for minor edits only if "the current and previous versions differ only superficially (typographical corrections, etc.), in a way that no editor would be expected to regard as disputable" (see WP:MINOR. Correcting a typo falls under this, but making a stylistic change that someone might disagree with does not. (I made the same mistake initially.)

(3) Please make sure that you do not inadvertently turn correct statements into nonsense. My colleague CBM had to revert two of your changes for the following reasons: In mathematical logic there is a notion of canonical definition. There is no notion of canonical possibility, and if there were one, your edit would most likely have changed the meaning. Determine something algorithmically is a short way of expressing that there is an algorithm which determines it. There is no notion of algorithmic possibility, and this kind of expression is not acceptable in mathematical language as an alternative. Hans Adler 09:33, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
