Let us spread mercy, not conflict.  Let us drop the boiler plate phrase "'''edited mercilessly'''".  It pretends to be a cute warning to newcomers, but is actually in deadly earnest.  It is no coincidence that [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] is awash in a tidal wave of antagonism, building on such a base. Let's not repeat this threat to contributors, nor encourage editors to treat other's work in such a fashion.  Let us rather encourage ourselves to be '''sincere, careful, and considerate'''. *** Here is a suggestion for improved boiler plate:
