2. Discussing an Article
More communication is usually better than less. Some examples of changes you might make to an article that should be explained on the talk page are:
* 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 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.
