For the record "BW," I take offense to your fallacious claim that I have been "vandalizing" Wikipedia. With the sole exception of introducing missing lyrics to a song written by a specific performer, which were quickly removed, I have made minute, infrequent changes by way of introducing punctuation corrections (i.e., commas, etc.) in areas that begged for them.
Now that I have read your message, I will no longer implement any changes (editorial, grammatical, or otherwise) to any Wikipedia article under any circumstance. So, please calm down, and do not jump the gun by threatening to block my IP address.
Moreover, "BW," if only a select, chosen few, such as yourself, are permitted to actually edit the contents of Wikipedia articles, then program this site to where "plebeians," such as myself, are obliged (i.e., forced) to sandbox changes for future review. This would permit the consortium of the Wikipedian Elite to comfortably examine the validity of any article changes and recommend an adequate course of action. Hence, don’t offer the "edit" option to endusers if their changes are going to be deleted 100 percent of the time, because it creates the façade of open, online contribution instead of restricted, conditional revision.
Good day.
P.S. I will be carbon copying this response to CryptoDerk, whose response was far more gracious than yours.
