[edit] SI unit lowercase template

Hi Ben,

I'm glad to see you did some modifications to the SI unit lowercase template. Could you please join the ongoing discussion on the corresponding talk page, so that we can settle the final details? Thanks. --Gennaro Prota 12:53, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Electrical engineering

Great edits on Electrical engineering! I was particularly delighted with your editing and "succinctizing" (a word?). You made a rather cumbersome paragraph much more readable. Thanks. By the way, I wouldn't characterize that edit as "minor"! Sunray 00:55, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I agree it is poorly worded. Clearer wording appears in the When to mark an edit as minor section:
  • Spelling corrections
  • Simple formatting (capitalisation etc.)
  • Formatting than does not change the meaning of the page (e.g. adding horizontal lines, splitting one paragraph into two - where this isn't contentious)
  • Obvious factual errors (changing 1873 to 1973, where the event in question clearly took place in 1973)
  • Fixing layout errors
I tend to think of a "minor edit" as one change, i.e., changing a typo, fixing a heading or a link. Multiple changes, if they are different in nature (e.g., fixing grammar in several instances, removing or simplifying several phrases; general editing or copyediting of a paragraph or section) as "non-minor." Does that make sense? Sunray 01:19, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
