Unclear deletions
Hi, Trepzi. I see you've been working on List of albums released in 2010 again today. Your work on this page is very much appreciated. I (for one) would be even more grateful if you would start using edit summaries when you make changes. It would really help me (and other editors) understand what you're doing.

For example, here you deleted Killing Time by Bayside, but you didn't say why.Then you removed Bright Black Heaven and At the Edge of Time with no explanation, but then re-added At the Edge of Time (but not Bright Black Heaven) without comment. Why'd you change Everything Comes and Goes (EP) by Michelle Branch and then delete it completely (and as a "minor" edit!)?

These wouldn't be mysteries if you'd provide a good edit summary, and I hope you'll start adding them. Thanks, and keep up the hard work! &mdash; JohnFromPinckney (talk) 14:48, 26 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, JohnfromPinckney.


 * Sorry about the unclear deletions. I wasn't entirely sure where to put the edit summaries but since then I read the article and double checked with a friend of mine so it won't happen again.


 * Just to clear up about those edits that you mentioned. I changed Everything Comes and Goes (EP) by Michelle Branch because I discovered that there was a page for it and that it was an EP but just after I had saved the edit I discovered the release date for it and moved it to the appropriate date. The reason I listed it as a minor edit was because I was just moving it on the page and not editing the content. Is that not classed a minor edit (just for future reference)? At the Edge of Time was also listed with an unspecified release date and there actually was one so I moved it to the appropriate place.


 * I deleted Killing Time by Bayside because it isn't scheduled to be released this year. I was going to put it onto next year's page or to set up a page for that purpose but at this time only a moderator can create that page and then I didn't feel that it was appropriate to put it back in List of albums released in 2010 as it would be incorrect information. It was the same story with Bright Black Heaven.


 * I hope that clears most of it up. In future I'll make sure that I include edit summaries with my edits. &mdash; Trepzi (talk) 13:43, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, Trepzi. Thanks for answering. Well, "minor" is sometimes in the eye of the beholder, so to speak, but I consider minor edits to be things which aren't really a change in real content. Obvious vandalism, like "Jimbo is an Idiot!!! LOL" in the middle of an article about motorcycles, can safely be reverted or deleted as minor, because nobody watching the article needs to know about it. Only the vandal would miss its removal. Also minor are spelling corrections, the insertion of some commas, or adding/removing links to an article about an album or a band.
 * If something's getting shifted, but not really changed, I guess that could be called minor. But in the List of albums article, the shifting is usually because we're making some change in the claims about dates, so I, personally, wouldn't flag it as minor. Some editor might want to see that. There's also the problem of doing moves in two steps: first, a well-referenced item is completely deleted, (Hey!) and then, in a separate save, it's back again in a different spot. (Whew!) That doesn't seem minor to me, but it'd be a lot less unsettling if there were edit summaries to reassure that it'll get reinstated in the next edit.
 * By the way, another reason I prefer the one-step move to the delete-save-insert-save method is time; that page is so huge it takes at least a minute for my browser to show it to me for each revision. I spend too much time on Wikipedia as it is!
 * Take it easy, &mdash; JohnFromPinckney (talk) 14:48, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
