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⟳.”
