Hello, I'm
JPxG. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of
your recent contributions—specifically
this edit to
List of Nobel Peace Prize laureates—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the
sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the
Help desk. Thanks.

I want to gently argue about your choice to revert my edit. Maybe I can change your mind, maybe not.
1. I do not find the shared country of origin format to be _more_ readable than the repeated format. Hence, in _my_ opinion "my" version is more readable. From 1 (not at all) to 10 (jumping up and down screaming) I feel about a 6 intensity.
2. For my own purposes I screenscraped the table and was post processing it. The result of screenscraping the _shared_ (pre-myself) version leads to meaningfully more difficult processing/parsing. From 1 to 10 I deem this more like an 8 in terms of how _I_ deem wikipedia "should" be useable, i.e. it "should" be easier to post process.
What do you think?
Meanwhile, where do I go to start learning a bit more about such conflicts as this? From time to time I make tiny edits like these and someday I plan to start making larger contributions but so far "the obvious place to look" has not been the same for me and for whomever in the wikipedia community makes such decisions. :-)
Also, I'm not sure where to go in order to solicit prior feedback about restructuring/editing ideas I might have. Sometimes I feel that an article might be better done "this way" but don't really know of how to bounce same off some folks in the community before doing it. Clues?
Thanks.

Err, um, "Teahouse" and IRC channel. Oops. Nevermind about those questions.
But please let me know if my "argument" sways you.
Have a good one.
