:I see you've beaten me to starting a discussion on this. In this particular case, I do think you identified a run-on that could be improved in [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Justice&diff=256644&oldid=256643], but I think your fixes might have changed the meaning of the sentence. I'm still not sure about this particular case myself, honestly. This was close enough to an "edit war" to make me concerned, so I would suggest that you either attempt to find an alternative way of rewording sentences when this happens (as opposed to redoing simple edits that have been reverted) or taking the discussion to the talk page. For example, [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Justice&diff=256648&oldid=256645] clears up the original confusion I had about where to split the sentence in this case. <br>Also, blank edit summaries or summaries like "fix scuff-up" or "scrub nonsense" aren't necessarily clear to other editors without more context. Something like "fixed run-on" or "clarified that the plot involves theft, not the agent" would give editors a better idea of what you were trying to fix, and hopefully make it easier to identify a better compromise if they don't think your edit was correct. —[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 03:08, 12 February 2021 (UTC) | :I see you've beaten me to starting a discussion on this.
