- 18:4418:44, 17 March 2024 diff hist +36 James Watt We respectfully note that Watt's unique contribution was the condenser, physically separating the power cylinder from the cooling mechanism. The referenced ODMB entry is paywall-protected, but the current Wikipedia entry for Smeaton and his online Encyclopedia Britannica entry suggest he made important but only incremental improvements to the Newcomen engine. So this wording is more accurate.

- 12:5812:58, 12 March 2024 diff hist 0 m James Watt →Early life and education: Corrected punctuation
- 12:5212:52, 12 March 2024 diff hist −137 James Watt →Early life and education: Respectfully suggest that the passage as written overstates Lumsden's argument, and misses how our understanding of Watt has evolved as records have emerged. Lumsden acknowledged Watt 's troubles with the Hammerman, and that Watt partially accommodated them while also forming alliances to counter their opposition. The phrasing proposed here seems more neutral and reflects the later analysis of Dickinson and Jenkins (see pp. 16-17)
