In many cases this isn&#039;t necessary.<br /> <br /> Examples<br /> * When adding content to a minor topic.<br /> * When moving an article due to a spelling error or otherwise violating the naming conventions.<br /> * When removing unsourced content (the burden usually lies of those wanting to keep it to provide a source).<br /> * When merging a [[Wikipedia:Permastub|permastub]] that hasn&#039;t been edited for a long time.<br /> * Making a change that &#039;&#039;might&#039;&#039; be controversial to a minor or not controversial topic that would very likely [[WP:SNOW|gain consensus anyway]] if discussed.<br /> <br /> However this doesn&#039;t mean that one should go round unilaterally making changes that are reasonably controversial for example:<br /> <br /> * Adding or modifying a significant about of content to a controversial, major or featured article.<br /> * Moving a major or controversial topic.<br /> * Removing content that may violate Wikipedia&#039;s [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]] policy that is disputed.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Proposed deletion patrolling#Common mistakes with prod, and what to do about them]] (The lure of theory part)<br /> * [[WP:BOLD]] (Be bold and edit)<br /> <br /> {{Wikipedia essays}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Wikipedia essays|{{PAGENAME}}]]</div>
