Automatically add a brief note to the verifiers' Talk pages when their verified pub (or a title contained in one of their verified pubs) has been changed.

Edit after discussing this issue with Michael:

Since the problem appears to be Talk page clutter, we could create a new user-specific report instead. It would list all publications that the currently logged in user has verified and that have been recently changed, the most recent edit first. The report would have the following columns:

Publication title, linked to the pub record
Name of the record field that has been changed, e.g. "Cover URL" or "price"
Type of change, i.e. whether it was a change to a previously populated field like Cover URL or a new value where none was present before (price, cover artist, etc)
Date/time of the change (submission and/or approval date)
User name of the editor who made the change
User name of the moderator who approved the change

We could also implement a "New Edits to My Pubs" flag similar to the "New Messages on my Talk Page" flag. The flag would be cleared once the editor views this report.

    I think we need to allow users to opt-out of such, given the number of people setting up separate pages for certain types of verification and not wishing to be notified at all about some others.
