Any major change More communication is usually better than less. Some examples of changes you might make to an article that should be explained on the talk pageare:* Any controversial change, even if very small. See [[Talk:Queer Bash] for an example of a one-word change that the editor thought merited an explanation.* When you remove a large block of text, consider placing it on the talk page for with an explanation, so other editors may easily decide if some of it should be restored.* When you find yourself changing something back to something that was there before -- in other words, overruling another editor's decision. This is fine, but explain it so there can be debate and resolution, or an "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_war edit war]" may arise.* Any edit with explanation too long to be comfortably put in the "Edit Summary" box.
→2. Discussing an Article: more suggestions about the talk page
Every article has a Talk Page, accessible through the "Discuss this page" link at the bottom. Currently, these spaces are underutilized. They are meant for all "meta-discussions": discussions about controversial edits to the article, explanations to future editors of decisions, debates over content, and the like. On this page, you should sign your edits (by appending --<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> to your typing) and you may address other people.
