Sometimes other contributors edit summaries alarm me, for various reasons. IMO:
I keep coming across edit summaries that contain the innocuous one word "clarify". One particularly active contributor uses this edit summary several times a day -- masking a very wide variety of actions -- including very controversial ones. This is an instance.
This particular instance concerns me for several reasons.
First, this contributor has not, to my knowledge, offered any explanation as to why they would move extrajudicial detention from the "charges" field of the {{ Infobox WoT detainees}} to the "status" field. Perhaps an argument could be made that this is clearer. But they haven't made that argument.
I request this contributor offer that explanation to the community now, and stop making this previously undiscussed change until other contributors have given their feedback. If the community decides this change makes sense lets consistently make this change to all the appropriate {{ Infobox WoT detainees}}. And, if the community decides otherwise? Let's leave them as is, or revert those they already changed back to status quo ante.
I call for all contributors to be more careful, and not use edit summaries that are too brief, or are misleading. I have a couple of edit summaries I routinely use, and I too will try to make sure I haven't fallen into the habit of using some that are clear to me, but aren't clear to other contributors.

I merged Wazir (Guantanamo detainee) into this article as they concern the same individual. The speculation that he might be in Guantanamo was based mostly on WP:OR. IQinn ( talk) 20:03, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Wazir (Bagram detainee, 2002). Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}

nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
