volume of changes
Hi Lightmouse,
You've been making a lot of useful changes lately. Your edit rate is so fast that I wonder: are you a bot? Or are you using some kind of software to assist in your edits? Either way, shouldn't this be so noted? At the very least, in order to assist the rest of us in understanding the scope and intent of your changes. Don't get me wrong, I believe your changes are useful. Thanks! Derek Balsam 23:46, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
- I am definitely a human. I use a script to do stuff where machines are better than humans e.g. address particular character sequences. However, I think the two main reasons for my edit speed are:
- edits are simple and similar
- browser tabs allow multitasking

- Cool. Keep up the good work. Derek Balsam 00:22, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
wikilinking
I noticed someone just got stung on a Featured Article Candidacy for meaningless wikilinks, on American Goldfinch you linked generic years and months. I guess the issue is we could end up with an all-blue article, so the suggestion was made to keep them reasonably specific. Thanks for helping though. cheers, Cas Liber | talk | contribs 12:27, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with you that meaningless links are bad. I did not link anything, I *unlinked*. Your revert relinked them all again. Please check again. Lightmouse 14:37, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
About bot-status
Yeah, you should really apply for it ;-) . Anyway, you could also go into your preferences and check the box for "Mark all edits minor by default". I think I would say they are. This box are found at "My preferences"- and then "Editing". I'm getting used to your comment "minor edit" now, but it could perhaps have been better with something like "adjusting number of links to sane level" instead? Just thinking here...Greswik 19:35, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the tips. On your advice, I have changed the preference to 'minor edits'. The reason that I previously did not was that I thought that I did not want to debate whether it was major or minor. I don't care either way. As for the edit summary, I like to keep it very short. Long summaries about trivia are distracting and it is worse if they are frequent. But I will think of something more explicit.
- I am surprised that the number of links is so 'insane' as you put it. To be honest, I would rather not do this and would prefer it if somebody else did it. Perhaps there is somebody that can do it better than me. Lightmouse 19:56, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
- Of course, then you will have to remove the "m" when you make non-trivial edits. The numbers of links are high, sometimes too high: but thats why you use your common sense and remove some of them, isn't it? It's allways a question what's too much, and what's just right. You seems to be doing fine, but of course, if you get to zealous, I'm sure people will start to let you know;-) I guess it's an idea to not become too eager! But again, it seems like you are doing good here. Greswik 20:05, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
- Ah yes, I see now that I can remove the 'm' at any time. Thanks for the praise, it feels good. Lightmouse 20:10, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Please stop!
You have been delinking dates in a number of articles. I do not see a concensus for this.
In your edit summary you claim the edits are minor fixes. Instead yo ushould say you hav "delinked dates". Even worse, you have marked the edits as minir (m), these edits are not minor and possibly destroy hours of work by other editors. Please stop! -- Petri Krohn 22:59, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
