- 13:5013:50, 11 December 2017 diff hist −43 Crisco →Kream Krisp: rmv incongruous (and sourced by a permanently dead link) ", and Crisco was reintroduced to the market"—there has been no mention in this context that Crisco was ever removed from the market
- 13:4713:47, 11 December 2017 diff hist −6 Crisco →Kream Krisp: no justification for boldface on product name this deep into the article—readers looking for it will see the section heading before they see it in the text

- 20:4920:49, 9 December 2017 diff hist −157 Mark Herron rmv absurdly unencyclopedic "Fans of the cable TV show ''Mystery Science Theater 3000'' may recall his performance ..."—this is an encyclopedia, not a fan magazine
- 20:3320:33, 9 December 2017 diff hist −607 Me and My Shadows: A Family Memoir →Overview: rmv the last two ¶s: they are melodramatic, unsupported ({{cn}}'d almost 11 years ago) excerpts from interviews totally unrelated to the book which is the subject of this article

- 05:4505:45, 7 December 2017 diff hist −36 Naked Lunch (Austrian band) ce intro, rearranging some facts more logically, pruning unencyclopedic language like "musical scene", clarifying what a cryptic phrase like "The Notwist/Weilheim" actually means without having to jump off-page to find out, etc
6 December 2017
- 16:3316:33, 6 December 2017 diff hist −1 Nematode rmv vestigial close-quotation mark from block quotation—the corresponding open-quotation mark apparently was deleted (properly, per MOS:BQ: "Do not enclose block quotations in quotation marks") sometime in the past
- 16:1916:19, 6 December 2017 diff hist −12 Eruca sativa correct curly to straight quotation marks; rplc informal, relatively obscure "stymie" with more standard and more widely understood "hinder"
5 December 2017
- 21:5721:57, 5 December 2017 diff hist −8 Chicago (That Toddlin' Town) rmv inane, meaningless "notably", which adds ambiguous verbiage but nothing of value to the sentence
- 17:2917:29, 5 December 2017 diff hist +3 List of television series canceled after one episode rmv "(for example, Virtuality)": it is inappropriate (since no specific examples of other cases are given) and unnecessary (since it adds no real value in this context); clarify the description
- 17:1417:14, 5 December 2017 diff hist −3 List of television series canceled after one episode rmv unnecessarily ambiguous "and/" from "or"; ce; correct "either case" to "any of those cases", since more than two are given; chg awkward "extremely" to "very", which is less distracting when used repeatedly within a sentence
- 17:0317:03, 5 December 2017 diff hist +312 Jack Lescoulie →Television: add image caption; rmv superfluous editorial analysis "He was a purveyor of light features": besides, any word that requires a Wiktionary link should be used in Wikipedia ONLY if no alternative exists
- 16:1916:19, 5 December 2017 diff hist −27 Jack Lescoulie →Television: rmv editorial puffery "was a versatile cast member", again allowing his accomplishments (detailed immediately following) to speak for themselves; correct biased (and slang) "line" to neutral "explanation"
- 16:1116:11, 5 December 2017 diff hist −12 Jack Lescoulie →Radio: rmv inane puffery "future TV legend" (his accomplishments, which speak for themselves, are enumerated in the same sentence); remove slash
- 16:0916:09, 5 December 2017 diff hist −7 The Phil Silvers Show →Premise: rmv misleading puffery "famous": the overwhelming majority of Wikipedia readers (well over 99%) have never heard of that specific episode—and if it were truly famous, there would be no need to TELL anybody that it's famous
- 06:3206:32, 5 December 2017 diff hist −5 Kewpee →Lima, Ohio: rmv inappropriate boldface

4 December 2017
- 14:1214:12, 4 December 2017 diff hist +55 SCOBY WAY too technical in the very first ¶: phrases like "a syntrophic mixed culture, generally associated with kombucha" (wtf is kombucha?) and "take place concurrently along an oxygen gradient" must be rewritten in language human baings can understand
- 13:1713:17, 4 December 2017 diff hist +25 Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush →Lyrics: def need ref for "The most common modern version": far more online versions end in "So early in the morning" (even in the <score> above!) than in "On a cold and frosty morning", which I had NEVER seen or heard before I read it here just now

- 04:4804:48, 4 December 2017 diff hist −21 E. Gordon Gee →Personal life: ce; rmv redundant "the late": her death is mentioned in a more meaningful context in the next sentence; correct awkward, non-idiomatic (in American English, anyway) "life after the death of Elizabeth" to "life after Elizabeth's death"
- 04:3604:36, 4 December 2017 diff hist −33 Vanderbilt University →1970s to present: add ¶ break when subject changed; rmv sensational and unencyclopedic "caved in to the public outcry"
- 02:1002:10, 4 December 2017 diff hist 0 Asiago cheese correct pretentious "reminiscent of" and "aspect" to more encyclopedic "similar to" and "appearance"
