- 23:3823:38, 10 October 2012 diff hist +1 Future of an expanding universe rv good-faith; this refers to "order of magnitude".
7 October 2012
- 08:5008:50, 7 October 2012 diff hist +6 m Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Skepticism/Pseudoscience/Archive 6 →Request for input in discussion forum: Added missing "(UTC)", for archiving.
- 04:2604:26, 7 October 2012 diff hist +1,632 Wikipedia talk:Fringe theories/Noticeboard →Pseudoscience 'warning' headers: Dug up the historical context for this. Summary and links given.
- 02:3102:31, 7 October 2012 diff hist +1,441 Wikipedia talk:Fringe theories/Noticeboard →Pseudoscience 'warning' headers: This is exactly the sort of discussion that should have occurred BEFORE deletion, at the project talk page. Why didn't that happen?
6 October 2012
- 15:2815:28, 6 October 2012 diff hist +317 Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Skepticism/Pseudoscience/Archive 6 →Pseudoscience 'warning' headers: Removal may have been justified but was very premature. Responded at FTN.
- 15:2715:27, 6 October 2012 diff hist +1,510 Wikipedia talk:Fringe theories/Noticeboard →Pseudoscience 'warning' headers: 3.5 hours does not constitute a discussion. Please don't do that. Spend the couple of days needed for due diligence first.
- 06:4406:44, 6 October 2012 diff hist +460 Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Astronomy →Third opinions needed at Heat death of the universe: new section
- 06:4206:42, 6 October 2012 diff hist +394 Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics →Vetting needed at heat death of the universe: Debate could use more eyes, as it seems to be deadlocked.

3 October 2012
- 09:5409:54, 3 October 2012 diff hist +926 Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics →BKL singularity: Main complaints are with prose in the lede and lack of early context. Your response reassured me that this is respectable; thanks!
- 06:4906:49, 3 October 2012 diff hist −1 m Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics →BKL singularity: Preview is my friend.
- 06:4806:48, 3 October 2012 diff hist +351 Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics →BKL singularity: Probably worth adding historical context to the article itself, then, as tone seems a bit off as-is.
2 October 2012
- 19:2119:21, 2 October 2012 diff hist +724 Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics →BKL singularity: new section
- 19:1119:11, 2 October 2012 diff hist +245 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Black hole topology →Black hole topology: Delete as a lower-quality fork of material that's at black hole.
1 October 2012
- 20:2320:23, 1 October 2012 diff hist +1,843 Talk:Hawking radiation →Why would only particles with positive energy escape?: Handwavy: virtual particles that gain energy become real. More accurate: virtual particles represent intermediate states for bookkeeping purposes.
- 00:0500:05, 1 October 2012 diff hist −14 Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics →Saturable absorption in graphene: Fixed broken link (I'd misquoted a subsection heading as the page name)
29 September 2012
- 22:2422:24, 29 September 2012 diff hist +437 Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics →Vetting needed at heat death of the universe: Follow-up is probably a good idea (at Talk:Heat and elsewhere).
- 20:4820:48, 29 September 2012 diff hist +1,841 Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics →Saturable absorption in graphene: new section
- 00:2200:22, 29 September 2012 diff hist +735 Talk:Black hole →First sentence - egregious error: Polar jets are generated by accretion disc interactions outside of the horizon. Hawking radiation was already discussed above.
28 September 2012
- 20:5620:56, 28 September 2012 diff hist −6 Hawking radiation Undid revision 515038687 by Pksherard (talk) rv WP:OR. Convince the scientific community before coming here.
25 September 2012
- 22:2322:23, 25 September 2012 diff hist +1,396 Talk:Space →Is space boundless?: An infinite space can expand just fine. Provided an example.
- 05:2805:28, 25 September 2012 diff hist +43 Heat death of the universe Put "life" back in, added "computation", removed "motion". At nonzero temperature, thermal motion and brownian motion both occur.
24 September 2012
- 17:4217:42, 24 September 2012 diff hist +1,042 Talk:Space →Is space boundless?: No such discovery has been made, and your "age x C" number is also demonstrably wrong. See comoving distance and metric expansion of space.
21 September 2012
- 22:3222:32, 21 September 2012 diff hist +1,051 Talk:Universe →The difficulty of defining universe: Let's cut to the chase and have an RFC, rather than returning to the old days of constant changes.
- 02:5202:52, 21 September 2012 diff hist +65 Universe This was originally a quotation from the source; turned it back into one, with explicit quotation marks.
- 02:4802:48, 21 September 2012 diff hist −2 Hawking radiation Undid revision 513798414 by 166.182.3.6 (talk) "Mass" is correct here; "weight" is force on a mass due to gravity.
20 September 2012
- 19:1019:10, 20 September 2012 diff hist +544 Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ScienceApologist →Comments by other users: Agree with Ebikeguy. J's actions look like those of a new user who overreacted. SA's socks look like experienced users.
19 September 2012
- 20:3620:36, 19 September 2012 diff hist +1,220 Talk:Dark matter →Dark matter is very different from current theory, and vast majority may be baryonic.: Gandalf61 is correct. This is about building different luminosity to mass ratio models for different galaxy
- 09:3609:36, 19 September 2012 diff hist +59 Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Astronomy Restored collapse-box. The thread contains a link to where discussion should be, and is presumably, taking place. That is sufficient. Anyone who wants to read more, can click "show".
18 September 2012
- 00:2900:29, 18 September 2012 diff hist +510 Talk:Quasar →Lensed quasars: I agree that this should be clarified. Probably refers to formation of multiple images.
17 September 2012
- 03:0003:00, 17 September 2012 diff hist +442 Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics →Graphite/water room temperature superconductivity: Let's wait until other scientists comment on this in the literature.
16 September 2012
- 08:5908:59, 16 September 2012 diff hist +298 Talk:Black hole →Edit request on 16 September 2012: Good catch flagging this; I've asked other editors to help clarify things.
- 03:1903:19, 16 September 2012 diff hist +372 Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics →Early black hole publications: new section
- 03:1403:14, 16 September 2012 diff hist +1,476 Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics →Superfluid vacuum theory: Seems to be based on a 1976 paper set. Notability is marginal and the article at minimum needs pov-cleanup.
11 September 2012
- 20:0120:01, 11 September 2012 diff hist +581 Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents →Question: You certainly didn't spend five minutes on google for the NASA images you nominated. You didn't spend five minutes doing *anything* for most of the others.
- 03:5403:54, 11 September 2012 diff hist +642 Talk:White dwarf →I don't think white dwarfs are true stars: "Stellar remnant" is more accurate, but I'm pretty sure popular literature calls them stars. Literature review is the way to find out.
10 September 2012
- 13:4113:41, 10 September 2012 diff hist +401 Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics →Vetting needed at heat death of the universe: Thanks. They've made extensive edits to a couple of thermodynamics related articles too.

8 September 2012
- 20:5620:56, 8 September 2012 diff hist +1,450 Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents →Question: Spend the five minutes to try to verify sources you have doubts about. After that, _talk_ to the uploader and appropriate wikiprojects.
- 19:3319:33, 8 September 2012 diff hist +161 Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics →image:Birk.jpg: Someone seems to have beaten me to it.
- 19:3219:32, 8 September 2012 diff hist +1,023 Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents →User is mass tagging images for deletion under false and misleading rationales: This user's (automated?) deletion spree was a serious problem for WT:AST.
- 06:5006:50, 8 September 2012 diff hist +578 Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics →image:Birk.jpg: Per WT:AST thread, it's time to head to AN/I to stop this semi-automated tagging spree.
