I think you screwed up

To make urself look good for Tri... yes.. you need an edit summary for every thing..

just "updated" or "edited" or "grammar" or "typo" or "fixed" is fine...

A simple line like "Grammar fix" or "Fixed typo" suffices.

Because when I, or others, go through the lists of edits, it is known that edits tagged as "grammar fix" will be just that, grammar fixes, and not substantial edits.

Since Icy loves to click on each individual edit, he thinks edit summaries are stupid. I'd rather not click through all of them.

Even grammar fixes can go wrong.

You're taking a leap of faith with your laissez-faire approach in believing what anonymous or less frequent users of the wiki claim to have changed.

I don't read edit summaries, true. I look at the entity make the edits. Low risk entities escape my scrutiny.

I'm American. What do you expect?

Nothing more. Shame on you. Keep your Americanism off the wiki management.

My talk page was spammed. I war spammers now.

Edit: Judging from Triumph's reaction towards the spamming of the talk page of a wiki bureaucrat i.e. through implementing preventive measures on his own talk page, he acknowledges my point.
