`  == You might be right ==  Thank you for indulging my edit and allowing it to stand. You can, of course view a verbosity which, ironically, creates a run-on feel as preferable, and that shorter wording which causes no confusion, describes something in fact did happen, and makes for easier reading is questionable. However, since the past participle ``self-described`` is properly used for what is in fact a completed action, I see no good argument in objecting to it as such. (I have a hard time imagining MMfA daily, weekly, monthly or annually recommitting to its mission statement, nor am I aware of any changes to its mission statement of any sort. But that is a supposition on my part that I think is safe to make.)  Finally, edit summaries are not places to take personal issue with other editors, such as direct comments of annoyance or disparagement. If you were to follow that guideline, which I assume you are aware of - but upon request I will be glad to furnish - I would more readily assume you to be credible when citing other rules and conventions.  `
