About the figures given by Murdos I thought I had to add more details.
That is 0.82% of 15493 edits accepted (excludes autoedits).
And please read at least the first page, that is very intersting.
There are no against the rules edits or things like that.
It's about eccessive standardisation IMO.
It's someone who randomly voted no because he couldn't read japanese.
It's about VI typographic rules that are not clear, even in Vietnam. (
It's about people who enforce crediting composers on indian songs.
Even if I disagreed, after trying to let them hear reason, I gave up of course.
It's about not adding ISO 3602 japanese transcription as alias. Well so be it.
And it's about not adding yomigana to japanese artist comment (I was able to find back all the other edits to cancel them after having discussed it in the forums
). (I'm never doing things silently).
etc.
That is 6% of 15493 edits accepted (excludes autoedits).
Well nothing to say except, go ahead read 1 or 2 pages for yourself.
I don't see the problem in adjusting edits. This is work.
