Guys, slooooooow down.  Use the Preview button before you submit anything.  Also, make sure you comment your edits.  The recent flood of zillions of uncommented edits is hard to moderate; and it's tedious wading through five comments in a row that should have been caught long before the page was submitted.

I understand about the preview button, but sometimes I'm in a rush and forget to reread it, then read it a second later, realize it's wrong and have to re-edit it.

Fair enough.  Can we try not to do it in the future?

:nervous:  I have pity on whoever is/was moderating the KJ's FAQ > Wiki that I'm doing.
* jr2 runs, submitting 3 edits per second on the once in a blue moon that he works on KJ's FAQ.

Basically, if you make a zillion edits in a row, they are about the exact same thing. Adding name origins, correcting spelling mistakes (I will now start correcting "godess" to "goddess" in a few minutes). If you take a look at one of the edits, you will get an idea what the others are about.

I already announced my retirement twice, yet here I am. If I bring up that topic again, don't believe a word.

Is there a need for a separate 'bot' account for making mass edits?

Do not meddle in the affairs of coders for they are soggy and hard to light

The latest of TopAce's edits was the replacement of Manuverability with Maneuverability. Good job. :yes:

Okay, doing it that way is a good compromise.

What I'm concerned about are the people who never comment their edits at all, or forget to comment them.  (This occasionally includes me, so I'm not singling anyone out.)
