Greetings and welcome to Misplaced Pages! You don't have to sign your own userpage -- it's your place to write what you want, so everything has your stamp of approval just by being there. If you have any questions, please drop me a line. :) DRosenbach06:50, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
Yeah -- it's easy to spot you because you type full sentences into the edit summary...haha! I'm sure you'll change after a day or two. DRosenbach06:58, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
It is ok, but usually not necessary. For Article or Project pages (like Policies), full and accurate edit summaries are really helpful. For talk pages it is common to see users who normally offer a full edit summary each time put nothing more than a "r" or "+" in the box. This is mostly because most actions on discussion pages are self evident and non-controversial. The other reason is that most discussion pages simply get longer, rather than overwrite past text. For articles, when you make a change it may eliminate some work that someone else has done. This is (of course) run of the mill. Talk pages, on the other hand, will continue down the page. That way, the "history" of a talk page is generally just read from top to bottom whereas the history for articles must be read from a separate page. Some people like to leave edit summaries for themselves. For examples, some people leave "delete" or "keep" in the edit summary for AfD "votes". Others like to summarize their point in edit summaries when making a longer comment. This can be a courtesy to people with lots of pages on their watchlist--they can look at the watchlist and know what the comment is likely to be about. Find what style suites you, of course.
