Examples
“On May 14, 2008, after I made a change to the article on Crews, Kukini made a minor edit [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Frederick_C._Crews&diff=prev&oldid=212449449], tidying up what I had done. He did this so quickly that I would guess that he must have been closely monitoring my edits at that time. That he did not stubbify the article, as Shell Kinney did, was noteworthy, and even eyebrow raising, since only the day before I had made it totally clear that I had edited it as a way of attacking Crews.”
“What should NOT be done to a weeping forsythia is to "stubbify" its branches halfway down. If a compact little shrub is needed, something small & compact shoiuld've^([sic]) been planted there in the first place.”
