• 11:4111:41, 14 August 2018 diff hist −4 The Machinist →Plot: just delinked above, well-known english word, DEFINITELY didn't need TWO links within a few paragraphs for the same word !
• 11:4011:40, 14 August 2018 diff hist −4 The Machinist the trade isn't THAT rare. Hope we don't have to put all occupations in links soon ...
• 11:3311:33, 14 August 2018 diff hist −29 Machinist This isn't great, but it's better than what was there. Original was too many words and not accurate.

• 05:3505:35, 12 August 2018 diff hist +15 APT (programming language) →Overview: "CNC" leaves out an entire class of machine tools, the ones for which APT was originally created. CNC is only a subset.
• 05:3405:34, 12 August 2018 diff hist +3 APT (programming language) Corrected the time scale. In fact, for five axis work the graphical progams could not equal APT until ... maybe the nineties ? It's still sold for complex work (e.g. NCL)

• 02:1002:10, 10 August 2018 diff hist −377 Little Boxes →Reception: I removed that statement as the link forces you to accept google ajax apis and forces you to "allow them to take you to their tab". Real information and citations do not force you to allow ANYTHING. Especially not in a subject concerning middle-class conformity. Tag: references removed
• 02:0402:04, 10 August 2018 diff hist −11 Little Boxes it's not "supposedly" .. those 1950's tract houses were made out or recycled trash. They were junk. I lived in them (a litle north, but a $13,000 Eichler is made out of pressed cardboard with junk pipe poured over a slab of substandard concrete
• 02:0102:01, 10 August 2018 diff hist +2 Little Boxes grammar and missed typing a word oops

• 06:1806:18, 8 August 2018 diff hist −29 Grande Armée →1807–1809: if they actually "hurled themselves" then we will need some sort of confirmation of this interesting and unusual tactic
• 06:1406:14, 8 August 2018 diff hist −4 Grande Armée →History: fixed wrong tense
• 03:1603:16, 8 August 2018 diff hist −435 Synchronverter →Background: Sentence removed because it was gibberish. If someone wishes to write that in standard English (subject, predicate, nouns, verbs, etc), it would probably be fine. Tag: references removed
• 00:5900:59, 8 August 2018 diff hist −13 Message to Michael →Impact: "emphatically admit" ... don't get outta Dodge, get off the planet ! eeeuw
• 00:5700:57, 8 August 2018 diff hist −102 Message to Michael →Background: 'availing hereslf of' ... get outta Dodge. Someone needs to read some Hemingway. In fact, this whole section should be removed, it's nothing but trivia

5 August 2018

• 10:0710:07, 5 August 2018 diff hist −11 Chief Seattle →Legacy: corrected the phrase. In 1942 Japan was not attacking Port Moresby, the US was attacking Japan from Port Moresby. That's not defense. That's offense. It was our turn to have the ball.

• 01:5801:58, 3 August 2018 diff hist −252 Punched tape →Current use: That sentence was all personal speculation. Easier to just say that very few places still use tape (which could be easily verified if more people even knew what it was).

• 03:4303:43, 28 July 2018 diff hist −26 Lee Iacocca →Career at Chrysler: layoffs of 'workers' happened LATER when they ran out of money. The FIRST thing he did was fire 33 of the 35 vice-presidents. I'm sick of this "workers are the problem" propaganda ~~~

• 03:5003:50, 22 July 2018 diff hist −745 IBM T220/T221 LCD monitors →History: the chi mei TV seems to have no relation to the ibm t221. The resolution is different, the aspect ratio is different, the pixel density is totally different, it's not even a monitor its a tv, and the company seems to have nothing to do with any of the companies that designed and built the t221 ~~~~ Tag: references removed
• 03:2403:24, 22 July 2018 diff hist +51 Display resolution →Common display resolutions: added T221 resolution. Maybe not "common" but well-known, available, produced between between 2001 - 2005, even has its own wikipedia article ~~~~
