Style

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Technical writing, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.--McGeddon (talk) 10:36, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello! I am not insane, I just felt your edits hadn't improved the article - Wikipedia doesn't use the <big> tag for its headings, articles should have a lead section, and numbered bullet points should be formatted with hashes. In terms of actual content changes your edit seemed to be removing some content (such as the Chaucer reference), stripping some useful wikilinks and suggesting that Mike Markel had written "today’s quintessential college textbook". It was hard to determine the intent behind your edits because you left no edit summaries, so I may have misunderstood them - by all means reinstate anything you feel is important, bearing in mind (or arguing against!) the concerns I've mentioned. --McGeddon (talk) 11:03, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
