Does the wiki actually send out emails to KaranbirSingh, RalphAngenendt, RussHerrold, TimVerhoeven, AkemiYagi, NedSlider, AlanBartlett, MarcusMoeller, TimothyLee, LaurentWandrebeck, TimoSchoeler, GaoHu, and AlainRegueraDelgado with every edit? It makes me a little nervous updating the T43 page or my homepage. I don't want to spam anyone. Cheers, Cody Jackson

So don't worry about spamming us - we are here to review changes for "correctness", just a second pair of eyes to make sure nothing untoward slips through that shouldn't and to catch (and correct as necessary) those inevitable typos :-) Some of the above named also undertake translations to other languages so use the notifications to alert them of changes to a page that needs translating.

In particular, the last two edits you have made to the T43 page have been followed by edits made by myself. I'm not checking up on you in any way but when I receive notification of a page edit by *anyone*, I will review the page in question and, if in the course of that review I notice something to fix, I will there & then fix it. So in the case of the last two edits I have made to the T43 page, if you check the page info, you will see that I (1) corrected the capitalisation of a name (2) adjusted the text to correct the "curse of the CamelCase". Hence, indirectly, it is your actions that have resulted in subtle improvements to that page. :) One person (I won't mention Russ' name) relies on the fact that when he makes an edit, I will review the page in question within the next 24 hours and "dust / polish" it, as appropriate. So the facts are put down on the page -- perhaps just a "screen-scrape / paste" -- and then the surrounding words are subsequently adjusted by me to allow a non-expert in the field to obtain the information required with the minimum of difficulty.
