No process is required to make a bold edit. That's what the edit button is for.
I'm not a fan of the overly legalistic and rigid interpretation of policy that often seems to occur, but come on. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. If an admin had responded to your edit by blocking you for vandalism, would you think he was also simply being bold and consider that reasonable? It's what the "block user" button is for, after all.
This isn't the place for discussing the basics of Wikipedia editing, but I have to say that there seems to be an appalling display of ignorance in this thread. As I say, this isn't the place, so I'll leave it there.
