The point of an edit summary is to quickly explain what you did in that edit (eg removed spam, fixed a link) so that you don't have to go and check the diff log to see exactly what you did. Making you go to another page to figure out wtf you mean defeats the object of that. It is also helpful if you want to explain why you did something (removed link ''because'' on wrong page or spam etc). Prize for the first person to fully translate the acronyms I used above.

:There are some of those acronyms for which I immediately recognizes... CiC would be Commander-in-Chief, I believe. CO is Commanding Officer. I don't know what other acroynms are, though some seems to be familiar to me but what it stands for, I forgot. IFF seems to be vaguely closer to that of EFF, which is Electronic Frontier Foundation or something similar. Hence, I sucks at remembering lot of stuff. :P | |||
:Anyway, yeah, I see your point now. I just am trying to make sure that my edit summary doesn't get too long. To illustrate this dilemma I am facing, I have already gotten complaints, both on-line and in real life, that my usual writings are too long... even my college professors expressed their concerns about my writings... my essays there were unexpectedly too long for them when they have other essays to review and grade.... I don't recall how many pages it was but it was certainly too many pages in my case. :/ --[[User:Chief of Staff|Legion]] 02:17, 29 April 2007 (BST) | |||
