amp 03:06, 29 January 2008 (UTC)If you're going to be making a lot of small edits on a page, it's better if you use the main Edit link to it all at once, rather than section by section. This keeps the "recent changes" and history pages from being cluttered up with lots of minor edits. Thanks! -- Repowers 02:56, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Will do. I was breaking it up to make it easier to keep track of, but I'll edit the whole thing in a big chunk from now on. Thanks for the heads-up - I don't want to be a pain in the ass. amp 03:06, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Your approach isn't totally wrong; breaking up the page edit into sections is useful when the page is very extensive, like Optimus Prime's or Starscream's. For most pages, though, it's like Robert says: Better to edit them as a whole unless you know you only need to modify one section.--Apcog 03:18, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Righty-o. I can see where the masses of infinitesimal edits could get to be a real irritant. I'll do 'em page by page from now on. (Except for maybe the massive pages where there are lots of errors to be corrected, if that's cool.) I'd prefer to be a help, not a cluttering jerk. I appreciate the guidance~ amp 03:26, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
And we appreciate the help. Cheers.--Apcog 05:15, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Happy to apply my monomania to a worthy(ish) task. ^_^ amp 05:19, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

fresh hot small square

Yep, "Fresh hot small square" was (is?) the catchphrase to an advertising campaign for the White Castle-esque southern steamed burger chain Krystal. It referred to their eponymous burgers, which are hot, small, and square. (The 'fresh' adjective can't really be applied even in moments of extreme generosity.) The phrase was re-appropriated to apply to me by some cohorts of mine years ago in reference to my diminutive stature and quick temper. The square bit has to do with a running gag of stuffing me in boxes, but really isn't funny enough to expound upon now (it was funny at the time). amp 21:21, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
