It would be a lot more helpful for all concerned, including yourself, if you used the edit summary and the discussion page to articulate why you are making the changes you are making. Then we could explain to you why some of them are inappropriate and find that others might be acceptable. If you have any questions, please let me know. Gamaliel (talk) 23:06, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
