 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
 | This page in a nutshell: Don't make wanton changes to a page without considering first the effect it would have on the reader. |
The Hit and run editor is a stereotypical Wikipedian, who makes a large number of similar changes to pages, despite having had no evidence of any previous interest in them.
