 ===== What to do when you are notified of a change =====
-Nearly everyone, nearly all of the time, uses common sense when they are editing pages. So when someone changes a page you are watching, and you get an e-mail — you'll likely be fine with the changes. However, occasionally people make mistakes. If you think someone has made a mistake, you can see who made the last change below the page, on the right; or if you're not sure, you can also go to "Old revisions" to see who made all recent changes. If it was a very obvious mistake, or a really, really terrible mistake, you can revert it: see [[editing saving reverting]], and follow the instructions on the "Old revisions" page.

If it was a very obvious mistake, or a really, really terrible mistake, you can change it back or revert it: see [[editing saving reverting]], and follow the instructions on the "Old revisions" page. But if it was something that different people may have reasonably different opinions about, there are two obvious things you can do:
   * contact the person who made the change, and have a respectful conversation about how to make changes that seem fair enough to both of you
   * raise a point in our Forum. Near the bottom of each topic page you will see a link to the Forum — click there and start a new topic about that topic page, if there isn't one already.
