- 18:0318:03, 21 September 2019 diff hist −24 m Superior good Remove unsupported and editorial adjective "fabled"
19 August 2019
- 05:1405:14, 19 August 2019 diff hist −335 Victim cache This section was rather old: processor speeds are no longer rapidly increasing.
- 03:3703:37, 19 August 2019 diff hist −14 m CPU cache Remove the "venerable" adjective from Socket 7, which adds no value here. (This probably isn't really the right word, and such a claim would require some kind of sourcing.)

- 03:5103:51, 12 May 2019 diff hist 0 m Stalking "Affect," not "effect," in this case

15 June 2018
- 03:5503:55, 15 June 2018 diff hist 0 Grendel Undid revision 845910683 by 82.11.197.2 (talk). This appears to be vandalism. If you want to make an argument that this character is really named "Grenfel" please do so on the Talk page, and provide sources. Tag: Undo
16 May 2017
- 07:2407:24, 16 May 2017 diff hist +45 List of skateboarding terms Correct some technical errors around wheelbase. My version might be a little too technical, but the previous one was just plain wrong.
11 February 2017
- 02:4102:41, 11 February 2017 diff hist +1,163 Talk:Gender of connectors and fasteners Additional sourcing and discussion of why "gender" (not "sex") is correct in this article
21 November 2016

26 July 2016
- 05:1105:11, 26 July 2016 diff hist 0 m Fred A. Leuchter No hyphen required after -ly ending
21 May 2016
- 03:1603:16, 21 May 2016 diff hist +41 Anti-psychiatry Fitzpatrick's article is an opinion piece: anything that uses it as a source must present it as his opinion.
3 April 2016
- 19:4119:41, 3 April 2016 diff hist −987 Baltimore riot of 1861 Improve reference citation to the Maryland State Archives. (New URL, named citation.)
- 19:3419:34, 3 April 2016 diff hist +491 John Merryman Elaborate and clarify why Merryman was ordered to destroy bridges
14 March 2016
- 02:2002:20, 14 March 2016 diff hist −356 California High-Speed Rail The claim it's the "most expensive project ever" is nonsense and intended to confuse. Comparing projects without correcting for inflation is silly, and an online news headline that doesn't define its terms is not really a suitable source.
1 November 2015
- 18:1518:15, 1 November 2015 diff hist −2 m Sexuality of Abraham Lincoln No spaces around em dash
- 18:1518:15, 1 November 2015 diff hist +2 m Sexuality of Abraham Lincoln Improve punctuation: en dash rather than hyphen
27 September 2015
- 02:4502:45, 27 September 2015 diff hist +11 m Tourbillon Insert word "mechanical" when saying it's impossible for a watch to keep the same time in all positions. (A digital timepiece certainly can do this.)
22 August 2015
- 14:0414:04, 22 August 2015 diff hist −127 Actions per minute Remove vague and inaccurate statement. (The research is pretty clear now that *nobody* can multitask without losing efficiency.)
27 June 2015
- 14:0714:07, 27 June 2015 diff hist +30 m Parable of the broken window A concept is not useless just because it's hard to define its exact boundaries. Some people may make that claim, but it may no be stated as fact on Wikipedia
26 June 2015
- 05:4605:46, 26 June 2015 diff hist +1,453 Talk:One-way mirror Start a discussion to remove unreliable sourcing and vague and unsourced absolute claims
10 May 2015
- 22:4722:47, 10 May 2015 diff hist 0 m Billie Piper Pop star is not a word like "high school": it needs hyphenation in the appropriate positions.
1 April 2015
- 05:0505:05, 1 April 2015 diff hist +3 m Orthogonal polynomials Another try to put some much-needed whitespace. (Apologies for repeated edit.)
- 05:0305:03, 1 April 2015 diff hist +1 m Orthogonal polynomials Missing whitespace in mathematical product
23 March 2015
- 16:2116:21, 23 March 2015 diff hist 0 m Flash powder A couple more erroneous hyphens. ("Flash powder" acts as its own noun like "high school" and therefore isn't hyphenated.)
- 16:1816:18, 23 March 2015 diff hist 0 m Flash powder Remove an erroneous hyphen.
11 February 2015
- 05:5005:50, 11 February 2015 diff hist +652 Talk:Bromance Preemptive protection? No
6 January 2015
- 12:3212:32, 6 January 2015 diff hist −67 Steve McQueen Laetrile/amygdalin is widely known to be ineffective and is even used as a synonym for "quack medicine": the linked page is full of references. (It's not just a lack of FDA approval.)
15 December 2014
- 08:4108:41, 15 December 2014 diff hist −23 DS Fix some vandalism (or maybe just an editing error). Didn't look to find when it went wrong.
12 December 2014
- 03:0103:01, 12 December 2014 diff hist −219 Parmesan On further thought, after reworking the sentence about "fake cheese" to be accurate, it's now redundant. Better to remove it and its problematic source altogether.
- 02:5902:59, 12 December 2014 diff hist +13 Parmesan The previous wording was both inconsistent with the source, used non-encyclopedic normative language ("fake"). The source itself is also a problem: it's an op-ed piece by someone who's not really an expert.
27 November 2014
- 08:5508:55, 27 November 2014 diff hist +24 Eugene Public Library The article text directly conflicted with its source: it states that usage only increased 10% between the start of the downturn and the writing of the article, but that overall numbers tripled. From this source, the downturn is not the major driver.
23 November 2014
- 22:2922:29, 23 November 2014 diff hist +181 Lehman Brothers Margin Call's principal plot is based on the actions of Goldman Sachs in the lead-up to the crisis
14 November 2014
- 14:1114:11, 14 November 2014 diff hist +128 Crop circle Fix grammar, awkward wording and misleading citation (several citations that all link to the same research)
20 October 2014
- 08:2308:23, 20 October 2014 diff hist +33 Mode 7 Affine transformations can do more than displacement, scaling and shearing. Strange to find such an obvious error here.
19 October 2014
- 07:3707:37, 19 October 2014 diff hist +1 m Aubrey–Maturin series Fix typo
11 October 2014
- 08:5808:58, 11 October 2014 diff hist 0 Luma (video) Fix a couple more incorrect labels. I think that's all of them.
- 08:5708:57, 11 October 2014 diff hist 0 Luma (video) 255,0,0 is not primary green
10 October 2014
- 07:0107:01, 10 October 2014 diff hist +287 The Bible and violence The lead of this article is of especially poor quality. Add a few appropriate tags.
- 06:3406:34, 10 October 2014 diff hist +1 m Talk:The Bible and violence Oops
- 06:3306:33, 10 October 2014 diff hist +736 Talk:The Bible and violence Yes, the lead is not just bad, but one of the most out-of-place things I've ever seen on Wikipedia.
6 September 2014
- 04:0004:00, 6 September 2014 diff hist −1 m International Celestial Reference Frame "Datum points" is a singular/plural mismatch.
15 July 2014
- 23:2523:25, 15 July 2014 diff hist −74 Cancer There is no link between carbohydrates and cancer in *any* of the sourced articles, and none of them recommends avoiding all meat. They only point out statistical linkages between certain forms of meat and cancer. This paragraph should move down.
27 June 2014
- 02:3202:32, 27 June 2014 diff hist −1 m History of the world's tallest buildings Remove false precision.
- 02:3102:31, 27 June 2014 diff hist −62 History of the world's tallest buildings Fix incorrect percentages that were both numerically wrong and seemed to try compare not against the previous tallest, but against the previous tallest ever, which is incorrect in a table like this.
22 June 2014
- 13:5813:58, 22 June 2014 diff hist +2 m Capo dei capi missing en-dash.
20 April 2014

18 February 2014
- 09:1109:11, 18 February 2014 diff hist +1 m Kristie's Law I can't find any major mentions for more than five years, so I'd say this belongs in past tense.
2 February 2014
- 06:4406:44, 2 February 2014 diff hist +6 m Menstrual synchrony menstruation is not a "risk"
12 January 2014
- 15:2715:27, 12 January 2014 diff hist +8 m Fresnel lens "In theory" is not the right descriptor for an abstract case.
