With that being said though, when I edit a story, I always write something along the lines of "Corrected grammatical mistakes." It's not overly informative, but it helps the admins understand why I edited it, and that my intentions were good. Funnily enough, people who vandalize pages never try to cover their asses by writing, "I helpted maek teh storie bettur :-D!" Just as a note, if it's a minor edit like a spelling correction or two, you can just mark it as "minor", and move on without putting a description.
