Is there any way to encourage people to make better use of the preview function? I mean, we can all make a mistake or two from time to time and end up posting a couple of extra edits, but having every other article feature a dozen or a score of tiny successive edits shouldn't be necessary. I understand if Thomas is reluctant to throw his weight about -- I've been reluctant to bring up the subject myself -- but how about giving contributors who post a dozen successive edits a nudge and an explanation of how to use the preview function?

Sorry. I edit a number of pages at once and it's easier to save multiple times (multiple edits) to ensure that I don't lose data if a save doesn't take. I tried the preview function and found it unwieldly.
