As a courtesy to other to other contributors could we please discuss controversial edits on the talk page, not in the edit summaries?[edit]

As a courtesy to other to other contributors could we please discuss controversial edits on the talk page, not in the edit summaries?

This reversion follows the practice of packing the justification for an edit the contributor himself calls "controversial" in the edit summary. This practice has the unfortunate effect of often triggering edit-warring -- because it poses a grave temptation to those who disagree, whose simplest way to reply would be to revert, and put their explanation in their edit summary. Edit summaries are so short, that this practice often leads to escalatingly hostile comments.

So, as a courtesy to other to other contributors could we please discuss controversial edits on the talk page, not in the edit summaries?

The contributor who made this edit supplied the edit summary: "Undid revision 352579703 by Geo Swan (talk) partly controversial - pls stop edit warring"

An uninvolved third party is likely to be mystified by this edit summary. How could a single edit constitute edit warring? I don't know how long I can be expected to wait for a meaningful, substantive, policy-based explanation for this excision of valid and useful wikilinks.

Stop edit warring and stop posting misleading messages to talk pages. The topic has been discussed unfortunately you refused to continue the relevant discussion and instead continues edit warring. Once again stop this or you might be blocked from editing Wikipedia in the future. IQinn (talk) 09:29, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
