Lastedit dates for listihgs

The lastedit date was added to the listings template a couple go years ago to let readers know how current information is, especially with respect to prices and opening hours. Removing the lastedit date is not helpful. Why are you doing that? Ground Zero (talk) 00:46, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Edit summary?

I understand some of these edits, but not all of them. I think that where it's not obvious why you're removing some text, an explanation in an edit summary might help. You also might consider doing incremental edits, which would make it easier for someone to restore some things and leave most of them as you edited them. One example:

Previous version:

After the opening of the Capital One Arena in 1997, and the resulting development boom, many buildings were redeveloped as the ground-floor facades of private luxury apartments and office buildings, resulting in the creation of an "arts and entertainment" district. The biggest draw for city visitors, however, is Penn Quarter's theater district, and its tremendous quantity of first-rate museums.

Your version:

The biggest draw for visitors, however, is theater and museums.

A possible other version:

After the opening of the Capital One Arena in 1997 and the resulting development boom, many buildings were redeveloped as the ground-floor facades of luxury apartment and office buildings, resulting in the creation of an arts and entertainment district. The biggest draws for city visitors, however, are the neighborhood's theater district and many first-rate museums.

You may be more familiar with the neighborhood than I am, but it's not obvious why it was necessary to remove quite as many adjectives and descriptions as you did. Another example:

Previous version:

While several Chinese restaurants remain, they are mostly tourist traps and these days, the best Chinese food in can be found in the suburbs.

Your version:

While there are several Chinese restaurants, they are mostly tourist traps and the best Chinese food is in the suburbs.

My version:

While several Chinese restaurants remain, they are mostly tourist traps, and the best Chinese food can be found in the suburbs.

I like "remain" because the point is that there used to be more, and "there are" doesn't have that connotation.

By the way, it's not at all true that law enforcement is the most dangerous profession in the U.S., so that will definitely be edited out by me. See this article
