If more people did that, there would be more discussion and less instability in content. The edit summary should relate directly to the edit, and/or to the talk page, and then a comment should be left on the talk page, and the editor notified if they don't respond. The tendency to argue using edit summaries, or to argue on user talk pages, is lamentable. Notify editors using user talk pages, have actual discussions of content on article talk pages. But don't discuss just the content, discuss how to *present* the content and how to *source* the content.
