→Warren G. Harding: rely to Leffingwell
Well, I meant no harm. If there is a formal process of submitting edits to a committee for review and approval, I don't know about it, and would be glad to see those rules if you could point me in the right direction. My changes were based on scholarly research of an accredited researcher backed by my own fact checking (which was not to the level of thoroughness I would probably like but I am an amateur here, as I assume we all were). Is there any actual objection to the substance of what I wrote, or is this only about process? [[User:Leffingwell|Leffingwell]] 16:52, 8 July 2007 (EDT)

:It's about the process. In the Editing etiquette article (linked above), are these pertinent comments:
::You explain your edits. This can be done in an edit comment (Summary edit field) or on the article's talk page. In the latter case, putting "See talk" in the edit comment will alert other editors to the fact that you have discussed your edit on the talk page.
::Etiquette rule:
:::Favour improving another person's edits rather than deleting them.
::If you think that the edit really should come out, explain why in the edit comment or on the talk page. If your reasons are good enough, chances are the first editor will see your point and accept his change being removed.
::If you question other editor's facts, then instead of just deleting them, put a {{fact}} tag after the claimed fact, to give him an opportunity to support his edit. If the original editor fails to support his fact in a reasonable time (e.g. a week), then you have better justification for removing his "fact".
:Please review the links above and I think you will do fine. --[[User:Crocoite|Crocoite]] 17:10, 8 July 2007 (EDT)
