Minor edits, Summary boxes

This change can't possibly be construed as a 'minor' edit, but you tagged it that way anyway? Also, please always put something in the 'Summary' box, so that when looking at the history later, people will be able to get a rough sense of what was done, without needing to click on the 'prev' link of that revision.
