... Oh, actually now I see at the top of the English Wikipedia source editing page: "Work submitted to Wikipedia can be edited, used, and redistributed—by anyone—subject to certain terms and conditions."
As far I recall, however, it was near the Save button, and it definitely said something more hard-core, like "it will be edited mercilessly".
And I can't find anything like that in the Visual Editor.

Hi,
I have a vague recollection that when I started editing the English Wikipedia ten years ago, there was a notice near the Save button, which said something like this: "Your changes will be edited mercilessly".
I remember similar notices in other languages as well, though even more vaguely.
I don't see it now. I checked English, Hebrew and Russian.
Does anybody know why was it removed? Did the editors communities just decide independently to remove it for whatever reason? If it was, I'd love to see links to discussions if anybody has them. Or was it a design decision by the Foundation?
Thanks!
