You literally just press edit, make your changes, and then press save.
You literally just press edit, make your changes, press save, and then wait a few minutes to an hour for your edit to be reverted.
Seriously, though, it's disingenuous to suggest that editing is so simple - to be pedantic, yes, the edit itself is free of bureaucracy, but in the majority of cases I've observed, the real effort is in making an edit (not even a controversial one) stick.
- x1798DE 11y agoAlmost none of my edits ever get reverted, including even fairly major changes, other than in contentious articles or when it comes down to an editorial decision. Generally I'm either making minor fixes (basically nothing you would dispute), or when I add something, it's cited. When there is a conflict, it's probably beyond most people to figure out how to handle the conflict resolution process (which generally, in my experience, is fruitful), but if you're adding high quality content, that rarely comes up - it's just that when it does it takes up a disproportionate amount of your time.
