About [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=hiding&diff=prev&oldid=576688 your edit], a couple = two. You would say that a boyfriend and girlfriend are a couple, yes? And that's two people. So, yeah. No big deal, your reword was probably better anyway. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 21:58, 26 July 2008 (UTC) | About [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=hiding&diff=prev&oldid=576688 your edit], a couple = two.

:This is the exact reason why I changed the word "couple"; it's too vague and can be interpreted differently by different people. For some people (like me), the word "couple", in some cases, can mean anything from two to, say, half a dozen, even though, it seems, this is not an accurate interpretation. I'm pretty impressed that you bothered to come all the way to my talk page just to tell me this. It's always lonely over here. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 14:47, 29 July 2008 (UTC) | :This is the exact reason why I changed the word "couple"; it's too vague and can be interpreted differently by different people.

| + | Hi! Just dropped in to leave another nitpicky note on your talk page ;-) Sorry if it's pretentious of me to say so, but I've noticed you tend to use the "minor edit" checkbox for a lot of edits that I don't consider minor, such as adding or removing content from mainspace articles. In particular, I wouldn't mark an edit as minor just because it's a reversion if the edit is removing some content — no matter how dubious or recently added the content was. (Vandalism, meh, that's another thing). In my opinion, anything more than syntax, spelling, making a link, or ''very'' slight rewordings shouldn't be marked as minor. I know there's no strict rules around here or anything — just wanted to throw that out there for your consideration. I probably err on the side of not marking things as minor as frequently as maybe I ought to. You seem to be a great editor. ;-) {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 00:11, 31 July 2008 (UTC) | ||

Nitpicking...
About your edit, a couple = two. You would say that a boyfriend and girlfriend are a couple, yes? And that's two people. So, yeah. No big deal, your reword was probably better anyway. --
