I'm curious why you feel it's necessary to make a leftward-pointing arrow in this comment, when there's nothing to the right that the comment might be confused with? As I mentioned in my edit summary, this causes this comment to show up on a project-wide report as malformed HTML (which is also what it looked like to me when I first saw it). -- 219: 372: 1869:

librarians started a Tumblr blog, named "Sprinkler Valve Through Door," to act as a window into the collections, spaces and services of Widener.

They're worth keeping because an editor actually involved in the article (me) wants to emphasize that the comment applies to the thing to the left of the comment. Maybe it's a minor point, but there it is, and it definitely outweighs your desire to keep your report clean. And anyway, your technology

Ah, I see the next edit summary: 'Prior edit summary should have read: If your report is wrong, fix your report; do not clutter up watchlists in order to ""clean up the reports"'. I considered excluding HTML comments, but that might accidentally hide some cases where some obsolete HTML has ended up

Houghton was indeed Smiley's target. Widener certainly has plenty of hard-to-replace stuff, but nothing really worth stealing since its "Treasure Room" was transferred to Houghton in the 1940s. The exception is Harry Widener's own collection, which by the original terms of Mrs. Widener's gift cannot

As before, almost all the edits are marked minor, which they are not, and only two or three have edit summaries. This time, I've reverted step by step, my edit summaries explaining in each case why the change being reverted is inappropriate -- see the edit history -- though I did retain the small
1953:
This article seems to contain a ton of quotations from various sources, some of which don't seem particularly relevant to describing Widener Library as an entity. The first sentence contains a direct quote to a 1998 article in which the library was described as having "vast and cavernous" stacks.
1581:
The number quoted in the article of 3.5 million books must be wrong. My undergraduate school had a library of 2 million volumes, and when I became a graduate student at Harvard, with stack access privileges, I estimated simply by walking through the stacks, that Widener must have been at least 10
2065:
Let's do a little calculation: 6800 Harvard undergrads * 13% claim to have done this (according to one link above) / 4 years to graduate / 365 days in the year / (regular academic year is 8 / 12 months) = 0.9 of such events per day, every day. Sure, yeah, I believe it. Anyway, there certainly is
1486:
Womack was the "Slasher" already mentioned in the article. At first I wrote his name in, but since he's almost certainly still alive and really just a sad (rather than evil) character, I didn't see the point of humiliating him further since including his name doesn't really increase the reader's
1954:
That's neat, but I'm not sure why the opinion of one Harvard Magazine editor needs to be included in the main description of the library. Ditto for the quote about a sandwich and a whistle in the next paragraph, which is drawn from the opinion of the author's daughter in a collection of essays.
1957:
Thing is, the quotes are all well sourced - a lot of them just seem superfluous, and their presence strikes me as giving the impression of a WP:NPOV violation, despite probably not actually being one. Just dropping this here mainly to see if anyone else notices this. If not, I'll drop it.
1639:
The answer to, "How many books does Widener have?" depends on what you mean. At its opening the stacks capacity was about 2.5 million. After levels C and D were completed, 3 million. Including the Pusey extension you get maybe 3.5 million. And that's not counting the millions of items
1182: 1180: 756:"I suppose my own most vivid impression of Harry is that a new acquaintance could spend half a day with him and never guess that Harry stood to inherit Philadelphia's largest fortune. He was totally unassuming, unpretentious, and never put on airs of any sort." 1836:
A comment is a comment, not code. Someone might even use a comment to exemplify some incorrect code, and you should not correct that. Whatever's in a comment should be left alone. No elaborate code change should be necessary to ignore whatever's in comments.
1853:
Sometimes the contents of comments get reincorporated into live wikitext, so I think it's wise to repair spelling and syntax errors in them. I still don't understand what these two angle brackets are adding to this comment that makes them worth keeping? --

Faust cited two signature buildings that flank Tercentenary Theatre, Memorial Church and Widener Library, as examples of the important role that Harvard plays and the characteristics and values that it seeks to instill in its students.

The fact that many edits scattershot the whole page meant that no edit could be individually reverted; nonetheless I examined each edit and retained the changes whose effect could be discrened and which seemed useful 836:
Article gives capacity of 3 million vols -- Snead says 2.2 million at p.153. (a) 3 million may include Pusey; (b) I vaguely recall that some mechanical areas on lower levels were converted to shelving at some point.
2070:, but we're going to need a lot more than nudge-nudge wink-wink stuff from the Crimson and Let's Go to take the fact of this as reliable, and after that comes the question of whether it's worth reporting even then. 153: 2363: 1315:(3) I fixed the description page (for the image you used to get when you clicked, before I fixed it -- see (1) above) to conform to the source, which says c. 1914; though it's certainly no earlier than 892: 2297:).
