12 January 2024
- 10:3810:38, 12 January 2024 diff hist −2 2024 missile strikes in Yemen Removing quotes, as this quote is not mentioned in the FT article. It is implausible to suggest that the British government would have used US English spelling.

- 17:2317:23, 6 April 2023 diff hist +170 PARAFE →Availability: I very much doubt that PARAFE is implemented in Eurotunnel terminals, given that vehicle passengers remain in their vehicles. There is a possibility that PARAFE is used for coach passengers, who might have to disembark, but I have seen no evidence of this at either terminal.
- 17:1817:18, 6 April 2023 diff hist −52 PARAFE →Availability: French border controls in France are not juxtaposed. Only French border controls outside France are juxtaposed.

19 February 2023
- 14:0414:04, 19 February 2023 diff hist −663 Irish passport These references say that EU/EEA identity cards can be used to enter each country, not Irish passport card. Timatic at https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/passport-visa-health-travel-document-requirements.htm says that an Irish passport card cannot be used. Airlines refuse boarding if Timatic says the travel document isn't acceptable for entry to the destination country.

- 12:4712:47, 3 January 2022 diff hist +12 The Tourist (TV series) Northern Irish people have the right to both Irish and British nationality, and Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom. Therefore not necessarily true to state that he's Irish.

17 December 2020
- 11:0811:08, 17 December 2020 diff hist −248 AirPods Removing all prices pursuant to WP:PRICES. Prices were given only for the United States, and misleadingly omitted to state their country, currency (USD as opposed to CAD, AUD, NZD, SGD, HKD etc) and that the prices exclude tax (which is a peculiarity of prices in the United States). The audience is not only in the United States, and these prices made the page too US-centric.

8 October 2020
- 21:1421:14, 8 October 2020 diff hist −16 OMON Removing definite article preceding "OMON". Pronounceable acronyms in English don't usually have the definite article, for example "NATO", "NASA" or "FIFA", never "the NATO", "the NASA", "the FIFA". Compare "the UN" and "the UNHCR" (non-acronyms) with "UNESCO" (pronounceable acronym). Contrast this to non-acronym Russian-language organisations, which do have definite articles in English, despite the Russian language not having articles, for example "the KGB", "the FSB" and "the GRU".

US English spelling is not established on this page, so the spelling should not have been changed away from standard English. MOS:RETAIN Tag: Undo
- 11:5211:52, 8 July 2020 diff hist +33 Apple Pay →Availability: BOTs are not part of the UK, so "except" is the wrong word. I would usually say that there's no need to mention non-UK British jurisdictions at all, but there might be some merit in doing soin this context because some are part of the UK banking system.
