==Being bold==

If there's an edit you want to make that you think improves the article, please '''make the edit'''. Believe that your point of view and the way you think the article should be is just as valid as the people who wrote the article originally.

Discussing edits before making them is a waste of editorial time, because 99% of edits go undisputed. What's worse is that if people actually start discussing your vague edits that haven't been made, ''now their time is being used up too''. That time could be used for so many better things on-wiki and off - instead you're sitting around discussing uncontroversial edits that are guaranteed to improve the wiki if they're made.

===When you should discuss===

If someone reverts the edit, '''then''' you can go on to discuss the edit made. Send the editor a message on their talk page, in the [[forum~~]], [[Discord server~~]], wherever. Don't have edit wars where you repeatedly undo each other's edits forever.

You can also discuss changes to an article if sweeping changes are being made and you ''actively anticipate'' the changes are controversial and will likely be challenged. This is a high threshold, in most cases you should just make the edit.
