- 18:3818:38, 26 May 2024 diff hist −14 m Onager The species is currently extirpated from Pakistan, so I removed the mention of it from the list of countries where Onagers currently live. Looking at the Wikipedia page for the Ghudkhur (the subspecies native to India and Pakistan) cites that it currently only lives within India: Today, its last refuge lies in the Indian Wild Ass Sanctuary, Little Rann of Kutch and its surrounding areas of the Great Rann of Kutch in the Gujarat state of India.

- 04:1504:15, 19 May 2024 diff hist +6 m Bhadreshdas Swami Slightly changed the phrasing from "Hinduism's 3 canonical texts" to "three of Hinduism's most notable texts", as the former sentence implies Hinduism as a whole only has 3 texts in its "canon", when in reality it has many others too (namely the Vedas, Puranas, Itihasa, etc). current
16 May 2024
- 23:2523:25, 16 May 2024 diff hist +29 m Vachanamrut Added links to the wikipedia pages for religious texts and Hinduism respectively, aside from that its the same as it was before current

20 April 2024
- 19:3219:32, 20 April 2024 diff hist +4 m Prayagraj Simply changed the word "also" to "formerly", to follow the same format in other Wikipedia articles for places that were renamed (ex - the article for Chennai says "Formerly known as Madras", and the article for Odisha says "formerly Orissa").
- 18:3918:39, 20 April 2024 diff hist +195 Gujarati script Following WP:UNDUE it is important to give a theory its due weight, while the Semitic origin for the Brahmi script is widely held (and this should be acknowledged), it is misleading to present it as if this is certain Tag: Reverted
- 18:2918:29, 20 April 2024 diff hist +50 Nāgarī script Following WP:Undue, it is important to not give a theory more weight than it is due, thus I noted that while most scholars hold the consensus that Brahmi is descended from Aramaic, this is not settled with certainty. Tag: Reverted

- 01:0101:01, 18 April 2024 diff hist +8 m 3HO Added the word "Dharmic" to "certain traditions" to make it "certain Dharmic traditions", to specify the culture of origin. Because Yoga is specifically a Dharmic-origin tradition found in religions like Hinduism, Buddhism and in this case Sikhism Tag: Visual edit

5 April 2024
- 17:2617:26, 5 April 2024 diff hist −12 m Swaminarayan Put the "born [name]" in brackets to match the way it is written in other articles such as the one on Swami Vivekanand, Bahualla, Malcolm X, etc, where all of them include the individual's birth name in brackets on the opening line Tags: Reverted Visual edit
- 17:2117:21, 5 April 2024 diff hist +39 m Swaminarayan Just added his birthname to the opening line, as these articles usually include alternate names to an individual aside from a title they are referred to by (ex - how the article on Bahá'u'llah includes "born Husayn-Ali" in its opening).

1 April 2024
- 22:0722:07, 1 April 2024 diff hist −9 m Kharosthi It previously said "the derived Brahmi script", implying that Brahmi was derived from Kharoshti, which is false, because at most Brahmi would possibly have been a sister script to Kharoshti (as was already noted earlier in the article) rather than a daughter script. Tag: Visual edit
25 February 2024
- 21:4521:45, 25 February 2024 diff hist −98 m Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb →Art and architecture: Removed section on "art and architecture" as it did not contain anything and instead only had links to the Wikipedia pages for Indo-Islamic architecture and Mughal architecture. Because neither of these are synonymous with the Ganga-Jamuna Tazeeb of Awadh but general to the Mughal empire and Indian Muslim population as a whole, I have removed it. Am open to discussing if people feel the section should be reintroduced. Tag: Visual edit
- 21:3221:32, 25 February 2024 diff hist 0 m Jamshoro District →Religion: On the chart for religious demography, it mistakenly said "Islam" twice, when the second (orange colored) bar was meant to say Hindu. So just updated that line, aside from that the page is the same Tag: Visual edit
24 February 2024
- 20:0820:08, 24 February 2024 diff hist −1 m Trogloxene Changed the link for "cave lion" from the page for Panthera Leo (the modern day lion) to Panthera Spelaea (the extinct "cave lion" once found across Eurasia). Tag: Visual edit
17 January 2024
- 23:5623:56, 17 January 2024 diff hist +16 m Holiest sites in Islam Just changed the link for "Imam Ali Mosque" from the one in Afghanistan to the one in Najaf, Iraq, since the latter is what is being mentioned here Tag: Visual edit
8 December 2023
- 15:1215:12, 8 December 2023 diff hist −2 m Symbols of death Fixed grammatical error, removed "a" in "a mourning" current Tag: Visual edit
- 15:1115:11, 8 December 2023 diff hist +78 Symbols of death Mentioned that Hindus also wear white during mourning and funerals (as was stated on the Wikipedia page for "mourning" under the religions section). However, I noticed it lacked a citation, so I would appreciate it if someone could add a source. Tag: Visual edit
30 November 2023
- 15:4415:44, 30 November 2023 diff hist +40 m Oriental Orthodox Churches Just changed the mention of India to be more specific and say the "Malabar region of India", as this is the region where Saint Thomas Christians are based. Tag: Visual edit
20 October 2023
- 02:0502:05, 20 October 2023 diff hist +43 m Iraq A minor edit, just added to the wildlife section that asiatic lions are extinct in the region, as the way it was previously worded gave the implication they were still found there (when in reality they are not, though they remain a prominent historic symbol). Tag: Visual edit
5 October 2023
- 19:4319:43, 5 October 2023 diff hist +38 m Yellow-throated miner It previously said "the common myna of India", when mynas are native to much of South and Southeast Asia (not only India), so changed it Tag: Visual edit
30 August 2023
- 18:4518:45, 30 August 2023 diff hist 0 m Age of Discovery Replaced "northeastern" and "southeastern" respectively with "northwestern" and "southwestern", as both Cambay (in modern day Gujarat) and Calicut (in modern day Kerala) are on the western not eastern coasts of India. Tag: Visual edit
14 January 2023
- 22:0922:09, 14 January 2023 diff hist +23 m Eld's deer The species' range map included Myanmar, Thailand and Laos, all of which are in Southeast Asia rather than South Asia, so I added that to the description of where its native to. Tag: Visual edit
17 September 2022
- 15:5015:50, 17 September 2022 diff hist −8 m Panthera spelaea Simply replaced the "central Asia" to "Asia", as historic ranges for the modern lion extended to parts of Asia beyond central Ssia, including the middle east and the Indian subcontinent. The linked source also only says "extant lions in Africana and Asia" rather than specifying the central Asian region. The article is otherwise the same Tag: Visual edit
30 August 2022
- 21:1121:11, 30 August 2022 diff hist +76 Uncontacted peoples →Brazil: Updated the portion on the "man of the hole" to match his recent passing, as is present in the Wikipedia article covering him. Tag: Visual edit

13 July 2022
- 18:2518:25, 13 July 2022 diff hist +78 m Variscan orogeny →Formation: Added Arabia, the Indian subcontinent and Zealandia as parts that composed Gondwana (as was mentioned in the Wikipedia article on Gondwana). Tag: Visual edit
26 June 2022
- 02:0702:07, 26 June 2022 diff hist +9 m Tamarind Added in the word "probably" to make the article more internally consistent. In the taxonomy section it says Tamarind "is probably indigenous to tropical Africa", yet the opening sentence of the article excluded the word "probably". Tag: Visual edit

- 13:4913:49, 14 February 2022 diff hist +19 m Medical drama Added link to page for grey's anatomy Tag: Visual edit
28 January 2022
- 00:0500:05, 28 January 2022 diff hist +17 m Pleistocene rewilding →Pleistocene rewilding in Europe: Added a link for the "European mouflon", which is the subspecies of primitive sheep in mention here (not to be confused with the related Ovis Gmelini Mouflon which live in Anatolia). Tag: Visual edit
25 January 2022
- 04:5604:56, 25 January 2022 diff hist +8 m Shimla →History: Fixed a small grammatical error where it said "the only civilization was the Jakhu temple..." to "the only sign of civilization...", as the original book citing had the following: "Only the jakhu temple [...] and a few scattered houses comprised the signs of civilization". Other than that, the article remains the same. Tag: Visual edit
16 January 2022
- 21:4521:45, 16 January 2022 diff hist +4 m Self-determination →Self-determination versus territorial integrity: Added a link to the Wikipedia page for "territorial integrity", as the latter was mentioned in the article. Otherwise, this page remains unchanged Tag: Visual edit
13 January 2022
- 04:1004:10, 13 January 2022 diff hist +13 m Escargot Added a link to the page for "Manipur" which was previously added by another user as one of the regions where snails are eaten, and wrote "common in [...] parts of India" rather than just "common in India", as it is a multiethnic country with cuisines varying between regions (some may eat Escargot, some may not, it varies). Tag: Visual edit
10 January 2022
- 01:3801:38, 10 January 2022 diff hist +19 m Seiza →History: Fixed a grammatical error where the article previously said "there is a similar posture in India it is called vajrasana", removing the "it is". Also added a link to the Wikipedia article for "Japanese architecture", as the latter was mentioned here. Tag: Visual edit
19 December 2021
- 05:5205:52, 19 December 2021 diff hist +19 m Brown bear Added "the Himalayas" to the list of regions where this species is found, as the Himalayan brown bear lives in the region. The article remains otherwise unchanged Tag: Visual edit
- 04:1704:17, 19 December 2021 diff hist +16 Hudson Bay Added links to the pages for Canada, Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba (one for Nunavut was already present). Tag: Visual edit
16 December 2021
- 14:3514:35, 16 December 2021 diff hist −8 m Assam →Population: It previously said "Austric" despite it linking to the Wikipedia page for "Austroasiatic" languages. Though Austroasiatic is considered a branch of the Austric language family, the latter is a disputed language family and other members of the family (ex - Austronesian) are not found within this region. So, I made the word the same as the language family it was referring to. Tag: Visual edit
10 December 2021
- 18:3518:35, 10 December 2021 diff hist +80 m Ayodhya Added in brackets indicating that Ayodhya district and division were respectively known as "Faizabad district" and "Faizabad division" respectively, so as to avoid reader confusion. As a note, WP: COMMONNAME applies to the titles of articles, meaning one can still use the official name within the page itself, just not in the title. In any case, having Faizabad mentioned within the brackets ensures the content is still recognizable, while still conforming to the officially used name. Tags: Reverted Visual edit
- 18:0918:09, 10 December 2021 diff hist +34 m Ayodhya Updated the name of the division and district to the contemporary one. This is not meant to take any side as to which (if any) is better, rather that the official name should generally be used when referring to a location, even if a historical one is preferred by some (ex - "Mumbai" vs "Bombay"). Otherwise, the article remains unchanged. Tags: Reverted Visual edit
- 17:4017:40, 10 December 2021 diff hist +24 m Hadza people Adding in links to the wikipedia pages for "foraging" and "UNESCO" for reader convenience. Both words were already in the article, so it remains otherwise unchanged. Tag: Visual edit
5 December 2021
- 17:2517:25, 5 December 2021 diff hist +14 m Official languages of the United Nations Added in the term "native language" as opposed to "language" for both Hindi and Bengali as the linked Wikipedia article took the user to the list of languages by native speakers (ratherthan the total number of speakers, native or not). If one took the total number of speakers Hindi actually ranks higher than Spanish, however, the article was referring to native speakers (hence Chinese being higher than English and Spanish being higher than Hindi). Tag: Visual edit
28 November 2021
- 02:1902:19, 28 November 2021 diff hist +38 m Princely state Fixed a grammatical error where it said "He ruler" instead of "whose ruler", and added in a link to the Wikipedia article for one of the events mentioned. Other than that, the article remains the same Tag: Visual edit
26 November 2021
- 00:1500:15, 26 November 2021 diff hist +27 m Stump-tailed macaque Added in "Southeast Asia" as one of the regions where the species is from, as it lives in a number of Southeast Asian countries like Myanmar and Thailand (as was already indicated on the species' range map). Tag: Visual edit
19 October 2021
- 00:5200:52, 19 October 2021 diff hist +24 m Peru Added in links to the Wikipedia pages for each of the neighbouring countries mentioned, otherwise, the page remains identical to what it previously had. Tag: Visual edit
2 September 2021
- 22:1222:12, 2 September 2021 diff hist +30 m Cinderella (2021 American film) The sentence was referring to "Walt Disney's 2015 Cinderella", yet the link in the article was to the Wikipedia page for the original fairytale. So I just changed the page it links to. Tag: Visual edit
