== Sarcastic edit summaries on merged articles == 
 Thanks for adding notes on your merges to edit summaries on the affected articles. However, per WP:MERGE#Performing_the_merger, these should be templated tags on the article talk page, not just edit summaries. This tagging isn't (despite your impression) gratuitous make-work, it's there as a sourcing record that can potentially be automatically searched in the future (this is why using the template, and not even substing the template matters too). 

 Also, could you please drop the sarcasm from the edit summaries. This is unhelpful. It is almost certain to offend at least some of the other past editors implied. It also makes your own efforts look bitter and childish, as if you're only adding these notes because you've been scolded to. Thanks.
