7 January 2013

• 02:2702:27, 7 January 2013 diff hist +8‎ Airship ‎ Is this really true? Are there multiple examples of airships being used for freight transport, showing it as a genuine niche application? The "Heavy Lifting" section of this very article seems to suggest there has not been even one successful incident.

• 09:5209:52, 6 January 2013 diff hist +24‎ Steam bus ‎ →‎History: It is not clear why high road tolls did not also hurt the horse buses, did steam vehicles have to pay a higher fee or something?

5 January 2013

• 05:3205:32, 5 January 2013 diff hist −592‎ Biopunk ‎ →‎Computer and video games: This isn't a reliable source, it is a user review (albeit a very good one), however anybody can write one of these.
• 05:0205:02, 5 January 2013 diff hist −121‎ Cyberpunk derivatives ‎ →‎Decopunk: Except that the setting itself was created in the 40s and 50s (read the backstory). The primary art style is Art Deco.
• 04:5704:57, 5 January 2013 diff hist −836‎ Cyberpunk derivatives ‎ →‎Steampunk: This paragraph is pretty OR and inaccurate (i.e. some Streampunk themes are not set in the Victorian or Edwardian eras, but in alternate timelines or even universes). The assertions in the last sentence are also quite POV.

• 01:5301:53, 4 January 2013 diff hist 0‎ Total Recall (2012 film) ‎ →‎Plot: It was actually just as he was starting being implanted, the Rekall guy yells "pull that out before it takes hold!" or something to that effect.

• 18:1018:10, 3 January 2013 diff hist +2‎ Promotion (chess) ‎ →‎History of the rule: "medieval ages" is incorrect, it should be either the "medieval age" or the "middle ages". I've changed it to "the middle ages".

• 10:1310:13, 30 December 2012 diff hist +3‎ 2005 Atlantic hurricane season ‎No edit summary
• 10:1310:13, 30 December 2012 diff hist −172‎ 2005 Atlantic hurricane season ‎ This isn't appropriate for the lead, it is only relevant to the US, and the first sentence doesn't seem relevant at all (assuming that's 1130 days to today). It also lacks an inline citation.
• 00:4700:47, 30 December 2012 diff hist −50‎ Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy ‎ →‎Canada: "speculating" is a loaded weasel word and since the BBC is a reliable source "quoted by Peter Bowes" is unnecessary. Seems like someone is trying to muddy the water by qualifying this otherwise simple statement.

21 December 2012

• 22:4422:44, 21 December 2012 diff hist +16‎ Liberal Party (Norway) ‎ See last edit, the site has now also apparently changed name, since I see no references to "CivicActive", appears to call itself the European Election Database now.
• 22:3922:39, 21 December 2012 diff hist −16‎ Liberal Party (Norway) ‎ Changed citation, still to the same website but now leads directly to the page describing the party (among other Norwegian parties) before it just lead to a main page (apparently because the old link was somewhat out of date).

17 December 2012

• 20:2320:23, 17 December 2012 diff hist −13‎ Dunblane massacre ‎ Stating it was "media-driven" is POV. Everything that gathers a lot of support is covered by the media, but to say it was "driven" by the media is opinion.

15 December 2012

• 16:3116:31, 15 December 2012 diff hist −71‎ American Hunters and Shooters Association ‎ Since interpretations of the 2nd Amendment differ, it is POV to assert that increased gun control must restrict 2nd Amendment rights - that is at least debatable. Additionally, the membership citation comes from 2005, and so is way out of date.

14 December 2012

• 03:2803:28, 14 December 2012 diff hist −121‎ Conservative Party (UK) ‎ This isn't really true, the original Tory party of 1678 eventually dissolved completely, the modern Conservative party evolved out of the second party to use the "Tory" moniker which originated in 1783 around William Pitt the Younger.
• 01:2101:21, 14 December 2012 diff hist +443‎ Talk:Parliamentary sovereignty ‎ →‎Finland to be struck from this list of countries
• 01:0501:05, 14 December 2012 diff hist −1,536‎ Parliamentary sovereignty ‎ These do not affect Parliamentary sovereignty at all, the United Nations Act did not allow the UN to interfere with UK law. Parliamentary sovereignty only applies to British sovereign territory, so granting independence to new states does not undermine it

• 01:2901:29, 12 December 2012 diff hist −682‎ Spybot – Search & Destroy ‎ →‎Incompatibility and conflicts: Forums are not reliable sources.

9 December 2012

• 13:0613:06, 9 December 2012 diff hist −13‎ First Spanish Republic ‎ Is there a citation for this? Because otherwise it doesn't seem to be entirely Presidential, in spite of having a "President of the Executive Power" - this office was elected by the legislature. In Presidential systems the executive is separately elected.

8 December 2012

• 01:0701:07, 8 December 2012 diff hist +18‎ Cross-race effect ‎ Ways to reduce Cross-Race effect section appears to contradict lead and Holistic and Featural sections of the article. See talk page.
• 01:0301:03, 8 December 2012 diff hist +1,068‎ Talk:Cross-race effect ‎No edit summary
• 00:4600:46, 8 December 2012 diff hist −1,145‎ Cross-race effect ‎ This seems to be the thoughts and reflections on this article by one particular editor, as if this was a personal essay rather than an encyclopedia article. I have removed it as it appears to be completely OR. Tag: section blanking

7 December 2012

• 02:3702:37, 7 December 2012 diff hist −295‎ Hub gear ‎ →‎Advantages: This isn't an advantage unique to hub gears, there are derailleur geared bikes which also only have a single shifter and no overlapping gear ratios.

6 December 2012

• 21:2321:23, 6 December 2012 diff hist −61‎ Banana Massacre ‎ →‎Justifications: Not really sure why this is restated, in seemingly less neutral fashion, when the immediately preceding sentence says basically the same thing.

12 June 2012

• 04:5304:53, 12 June 2012 diff hist +9‎ Tesco bomb campaign ‎ The letter itself was not in code - it just had a cipher at the end of it which allowed the police to contact the perpetrator in code only he could decrypt (because it was his cipher). (this is all in the ITV documentary).

11 June 2012

• 22:2522:25, 11 June 2012 diff hist +18‎ Nissan Almera ‎ →‎Critics: While this may be correct, it appears to be based on the knowledge of the author, not a reliable source.

8 June 2012

• 15:3915:39, 8 June 2012 diff hist 0‎ Al-Qubeir massacre ‎ →‎International reactions: This is the opposite of what is actually said in the citation, in the citation: "Italy warned that Assad's policies risk creating "genocide" unless there is swift action to stop him" that's "unless" not "if".

25 May 2012

• 02:3902:39, 25 May 2012 diff hist −179‎ Gibraltar Constitution Order 2006 ‎ These are not rights the UK could have given up with an Order in Council. No legislation of Parliament can be set aside or struck down, this part of the UK constitution means that no Order in Council can safeguard itself against future repeal.

24 May 2012

• 16:5816:58, 24 May 2012 diff hist −147‎ Irony ‎ Amusing, but this broadly conforms to situational irony. The decision to place the sign on that wall intended to give the impression of an authoritative command not to smoke, instead it ends up almost satirising no-smoking rules - the opposite effect
