I consider "minor edits" to be anything that does not actually contribute any useful information, and does not radically change the page. So, spelling, grammar, and punctuation edits (unless large in scale) would be considered minor. Small corrections to style or format would be minor. However, any factual corrections are not minor.

I would go so far as to say that it's better to make minor edits separately from editing substance, so that if something is incorrect it can be safely rolled back without needing to re-edit spelling and grammar and such.

I tend to agree, minor edits should be changes that do not add or remove facts.

I agree grammeric, punctuation, style, and form et al. would all be minor edits. I think adjusting appearance of a page to either match the appearance of the rest of the page or a particular section or subsection to match and be more pleasing to to the eye should also be concidered minor edit. There is nothing that is a bigger turn off to reading an item than when it doesn't have a smooth uniform look.

I would really like to see a consistent style over all the articles. Use of sections and subsections is a must, and it might even be a good idea to mandate a kind of abstract/summary at the beginning. A naming convention for articles is also a good idea. -- Dolohov

I guess we can all agree (so far) on this at least. I put my chips in on all that has been previously said.

However, I have one minor question of concern. It is to my knowledge, words like "armour/armor" and "colour/color" are spelt differently in different forms of "English".

Are we going to have any preference as to which is used? Again, as I said, very minor.
