Fair enough.  I'm too wrapped up in wiki-world now --- I can't remember 
if "edits" makes sense to non-Wikipedians anymore!

Internet "wisdom" will be the death of us all.  Wikipedia, also, is not 
necessarily confined to the Internet.  Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, 
not a website; wiki and hypertext is a tool, not a core principle.  It 
may be a *site* on the *web* using *hypertext*, but ...


I like Andrew's idea of "improve", but "Improvements are always welcome" 
doesn't sound much better than "Good contributions", to me.  How does 
"Please help us improve" sound?
