Wikipedia has no central editorial board. Contributions are made by a large number of volunteers at their own discretion. Edits are neither the responsibility of the Wikimedia Foundation (the organisation that hosts the site) nor of its staff and edits will not generally be made in response to an email request.

For example, instead of writing the following, which makes it very difficult to understand what is going on: "Jimbo deleted the text from John Gummer!"
