Forum:Editing other people's comments

I can't remember where I saw this, so posting this here. I've noticed a few instances in which one person edited another person's comment on a talk page or a forum, fixing things like typos, grammar, or spelling. It's not a big deal, but most wikis treat this as verboten. Just let the errors stand. (I know I leave plenty of them around.) These are not like regular articles - it's just conversation. The only time anyone should edit another's comments is to repair markup: unclosed italics, stuff that breaks the page, red links, bad code, etc. As always, people can edit their own comments. — m (talk) 17:43, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
