minor edit
Hi Pcb21,

Please note that the indication "minor edit" is for spelling errors or adding or removing a blank line, etc.; making a word that was already there a link may or may not be considered minor. When adding or changing content (even if only one word) it is customary not to mark it minor.

I thought I should mention this because I saw you making interesting additions to articles, marked minor. People interested in the subject might miss them this way.

Dross dressed up as NPOV
It's always a pleasure removing nonsensical drivel. I also find that "Critics say..." means "I say, but would prefer you to think it the opinion of someone actually qualified to say...." . But the Wikipedia is not bad performance art. At least not by choice! -- Someone else 08:12 1 Jul 2003 (UTC)


 * I agree. Also sometimes I find that a "Critics say..." line turns out to be an unnecessary attempt to write something negative about a subject even when there is not much negative to say... some articles are essentially lists of facts written as prose. These "critics" don't actually exist.. it is just an artifical way to NPOV an article where NPOV is required. Pete 10:26 1 Jul 2003 (UTC)
