[edit] Noise rock edits

Hello. I notice you changed the sentence "The following is a list of noise rock bands with Wikipedia articles." to "The following is a list of notable noise rock bands.". I wonder if you could explain why. I feel that the former wording is absolutely clear about what should be in the list: links to wikipedia articles. The latter wording will make readers think that they can add names of bands that are "notable", and this will cause unverifiable additions to the list. I greatly prefer the former wording. I don't think the embedded comments are particularly helpful, based on what I've seen editors add in the past. Please let me know your thinking on this.

Thanks for your reply. I have to admit I was unaware of WP:SELF. I'll be changing a few of my previous edits as a result of my new understanding. Thanks. Cheers, Doctormatt 23:57, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Heat (disambiguation)

Please be careful when reformatting disambiguation pages. In reformatting Heat (disambiguation), you changed:

Heat is energy which is spontaneously flowing from an object with a high temperature to an object with a lower temperature.

to

Heat, in physics, is energy which spontaneously flows from an object with a high temperature to an object with a lower temperature.

While you might think the difference is trivial, if you'd checked the discussion page you'd have seen a discussion on the exact wording, and why the former is preferable. (A quote from a textbook, on the usage of the word heat: Only energy in transit may correctly be called "heat.")

My point isn't to quibble about physics, but to note that you should avoid even slight changes in phrasing, unless you're willing to wade through the talk pages. :) --Starwed 12:36, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
