Random musings:

• I seem to keep hitting disambig pages which are not in great condition, maybe it's because I'm lazy and only type a few words into the Go box. I try to cleanup the worst ones, bringing them closer to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages). Before you complain about something I changed please consult that page.

• "Copyedit" has to be one of the worst possible edit summaries (the very worst of course is no edit summary). Mucking about with others' punctuation or wording is bad for a start – unless something is really unclear there's no point, you'll never get everyone writing with the same rhythm. And saying just "copyedit" is an insult, it means "I've mucked about with your text and I don't even have the courtesy to say what or why".
