• 21:1021:10, 9 October 2021 diff hist +37‎ Commodore USA ‎ made various tense changes from present and present perfect to past. Added "form factor", as the actual electronics were not "partially redesigned" but ENTIRELY different! also "meant to encourage" Selling just the shell and keyboard seems like a desperate marketing ploy.
• 21:0221:02, 9 October 2021 diff hist +1‎ Commodore USA ‎ →‎History: changed European date format of Altman's death to American (day following month) to be consistent with the rest of the article. Plus, Altman was American
• 21:0021:00, 9 October 2021 diff hist −28‎ Commodore USA ‎ deleted "of forward looking news concerning Commodore's plans" this is aggravatingly vague, and as citation(s) are deadlinks, there's no way of knowing what the "forward looking news" was anymore. It seemed relevant that someone from the company made some sort of outreach, though. Left the sentence's main meaning intact
• 20:5620:56, 9 October 2021 diff hist −79‎ Commodore USA ‎ changed "latest post" to "last post" and deleted "The online store of Commodore.net has halted orders until further notice"-this is not encyclopedic, more of public service announcement. I left the citations temp. as both citations are deadlink
• 20:4820:48, 9 October 2021 diff hist −175‎ Commodore USA ‎ deleted the following, because it is fairly certain in 2021 that the company was abandoned when Mr Altman died, and also online resources were neglected and abandoned
• 20:4520:45, 9 October 2021 diff hist +10‎ Commodore USA ‎ added "of cancer". I think it's wise to proactively prevent conspiracy theories that old Commodore "fans" assassinated him. lol Kinda silly, but "cancer" is still relevant information
• 20:3820:38, 9 October 2021 diff hist −15‎ Commodore IBM PC compatible systems ‎ replaced "Windows-compatible" with "x86". Commodore USA emphasized linux and the Mint linux-based "Commodore OS", it's almost cruel to describe their machines as "Windows-compatible" lol
• 20:3420:34, 9 October 2021 diff hist +402‎ N Talk:Commodore PC20 ‎ ←Created page with 'Why is this the only Commodore PC model that redirects? There are Commodore PC5, PC10, PC30, PC40 and PC50. There's also a PC one, but it's a little unclear to me whether PC-1 or PC-I is the preferred name. None of them redirect. There should be some consistency here, and Wikipedia won't let me delete the redirect outright. (another structural fail on Wikipedia's part, at least this late, in 2021)'
• 19:5819:58, 9 October 2021 diff hist −221‎ Commodore USA ‎ →‎Reception: removed "be developed to support and" -this is self-evident. Of course the OS released with the hardware was meant to work with that hardware. Also removed CEO's "exclusive interview". Company died, so interview was irrelevant
• 19:5519:55, 9 October 2021 diff hist 0‎ Commodore USA ‎ →‎Controversy: another tense change. This section is littered with so many references, it is difficult to edit. It would be better if some article(s) telling the entire story were found. It would be good if the contemporaneous references could be replaced.
• 19:5319:53, 9 October 2021 diff hist +4‎ Commodore USA ‎ →‎Controversy: made tense changes as this controversy all ended years ago with the ending of manufacturing and dissolution of the company
• 19:4819:48, 9 October 2021 diff hist +6‎ Commodore USA ‎ →‎Amiga
• 19:4719:47, 9 October 2021 diff hist +9‎ Commodore USA ‎ →‎VIC: added "revamped" It should be clear this was an entirely different computer than the original VIC-20-line, also some tense changes (was rather than is)
• 19:4419:44, 9 October 2021 diff hist +13‎ Commodore USA ‎ →‎VIC: Consolidated bulky, spread-out list of two with one consolidated paragraph. It's self-evident they were cheap "Wintel" PCs in Vic-20-like cases (which were nearly identicle to C64 cases)
• 19:3919:39, 9 October 2021 diff hist 0‎ Commodore USA ‎ →‎Commodore 64x: added "was contained in..." and moved "named the commodore 64x" within the first sentence. It should be clear that inside, it was a fundamentally different computer, not MOS 6502-based at all
• 19:3519:35, 9 October 2021 diff hist −89‎ Commodore USA ‎No edit summary Tag: COI template removed
• 19:3219:32, 9 October 2021 diff hist +1‎ Commodore International ‎ →‎6502-based Computers
• 19:3119:31, 9 October 2021 diff hist +23‎ Commodore International ‎ →‎Product line
• 19:2919:29, 9 October 2021 diff hist +19‎ Commodore International ‎ →‎Computers: 6502-based and sectioned off Commodore Amiga Range This entire list leaves out the x86 range of PC compatibles (including 8088 and laptops)
• 19:2719:27, 9 October 2021 diff hist +46‎ Commodore IBM PC compatible systems ‎ not including later laptops
• 19:1819:18, 9 October 2021 diff hist +181‎ Template:CBM computers ‎ group4 = PC compatible laptops
• 19:1419:14, 9 October 2021 diff hist +1‎ Template:CBM computers ‎No edit summary
• 19:1319:13, 9 October 2021 diff hist +225‎ Template:CBM computers ‎ Commodore's PC compatibles, but without x86 laptops. Why aren't these on the list already?

• 01:1201:12, 7 October 2021 diff hist +1,712‎ Talk:Laurie Strode ‎ →‎Problems with quote from Italian "editor", Stefano Lo Verme, and the Italian article referenced: new section
• 00:5400:54, 7 October 2021 diff hist −1‎ Laurie Strode ‎ →‎Reception: deleted a quotation mark (Lo Verme's original quote is in Italian) I may also have forgot to mention my addition of "Italian magazine editor".
• 00:5100:51, 7 October 2021 diff hist +142‎ Laurie Strode ‎ →‎Reception: added "wrote that the 23 year old Jamie Lee Curtis was the undisputed "scream queen" of American horror in 1978". He compared..." This is an article in Italian and on much larger theme of "scream queens", not so much the trio named.

6 October 2021

• 03:2403:24, 6 October 2021 diff hist +24‎ Foundation series ‎ →‎Later sequels and prequels: added "all the way back in 1957's". The sentence about Spacer culture in the "Naked Sun" is a bit thin, and not very notable, EXCEPT for the fact it was written over 35 years before, which makes it quite remarkable. RIP Asimov

• 20:3520:35, 3 October 2021 diff hist +1‎ Purdue Pharma ‎ →‎External links
• 20:3520:35, 3 October 2021 diff hist +29‎ Purdue Pharma ‎ →‎External links: added Washington Post July 20, 2019 to article link. This may be archived in the future, maybe not. But the naming the source + date is important

• 17:4217:42, 26 September 2021 diff hist −129‎ Cobalt bomb ‎No edit summary
• 17:4117:41, 26 September 2021 diff hist −188‎ USB On-The-Go ‎ deleted 2015 tags concerning footnotes, citations and "expert opinion". Any of these not addressed at this point in 2021 are unlikely to be updated at all. I'm not sure if they were legitimate in the first place, a full examination of history is needed. Why is Wikipedia allowing this visual pollution to go unchecked for years and in the case of many tech articles, decades?
• 17:2017:20, 26 September 2021 diff hist +38‎ Lightning (connector) ‎ →‎Reception: replaced "some users" with "like senior tech correspondent Lisa Eadicicco". "Some reviewers and users" is close to weasel wording. Naming names is important, especially for time-dependent opinions and consensus which might change years later with historical perspective

24 September 2021

• 00:1100:11, 24 September 2021 diff hist +304‎ Middlesex Turnpike (Massachusetts) ‎ and specifically the $35 million transportation improvement project in Bedford and Billerica, as of 2019 was scheduled to be completed in 2023

23 September 2021

• 18:1818:18, 23 September 2021 diff hist −197‎ Treaty of Casco (1678) ‎ removed deadlink/blanklink http://www.pokanoket.us, and the entire Links sections, as this one link comprised the entirety of it Tag: section blanking
• 18:1418:14, 23 September 2021 diff hist −117‎ Treaty of Casco (1678) ‎No edit summary

• 17:5117:51, 23 September 2021 diff hist +888‎ Talk:Treaty of Casco (1678) ‎ →‎deleting 2013 "cleanup" tag: new section
• 17:3617:36, 23 September 2021 diff hist −92‎ Treaty of Casco (1678) ‎ deleted 2013 "cleanup" marking. It' certainly doesn't seem unencyclopedic It doesn't appear that anyone has made extensive changes since 2013, I'm going to "be bold" as Wikipedians of the past were instructed and take it down

20 September 2021

• 23:1223:12, 20 September 2021 diff hist −21‎ Zilog Z800 ‎ →‎More successful Z80 derivatives (from Zilog): replaced "but is still in production" it is not, but this statement was always going to have a limited shelf-life. Also like much else here it is uncited. Unfortunately "citation needed" hardly ever gets attention and is rather useless
• 23:0923:09, 20 September 2021 diff hist −152‎ Zilog Z800 ‎ →‎Reason for the failure: deleted "A slightly different variant of the same design, the Z180, has been sold by Zilog for over twenty years, still maintained and developed" not cited and mostly Irrelevant. Those interested in other Zilog products can easily search info for themselves on Wikipedia

• 17:3717:37, 15 September 2021 diff hist +133‎ Baicalein ‎ added after Sho-Saiko-To,: "which is a Chinese classic herbal formula, and listed in Japan as Kampo medicine." and also {{cn|date=Sept 2021}} This just needs a little cross-lingual, cross-cultural research
• 17:2617:26, 15 September 2021 diff hist 0‎ Baicalin ‎ →‎Medical uses
• 17:2417:24, 15 September 2021 diff hist +101‎ Baicalin ‎ →‎Medical uses: it's difficult to source information on Sho-Saiko-To in English, but it's in the Japanese "Kampo list" and (perhaps older) equivalent list in traditional Chinese medicine. Those might be good starting points.

3 September 2021

• 22:1022:10, 3 September 2021 diff hist −5‎ IBM PS/2 ‎ →‎Micro Channel Architecture: deleted "BIOS", as I don't think BIOS was necessarily involved, since these settings involved a floppy that would seem to preclude BIOS. later True plug and play may more often utilize BIOS
• 22:0522:05, 3 September 2021 diff hist +750‎ IBM PS/2 ‎ →‎Micro Channel Architecture: sorry I don't have citations, most of this comes from the MCA article. It was too unclear why
• 21:5021:50, 3 September 2021 diff hist +89‎ IBM PS/2 ‎ →‎Micro Channel Architecture: deleted "payment for every IBM-compatible machine the particular maker had made in the past.{{Citation needed|date=November 2009} Firstly 11 years overdue deletion. Secondly, how could they collect royalties on previous machines that didn't have MCA? There were no previous machines with MCA, therefore royalties couldn't be collected
• 21:3821:38, 3 September 2021 diff hist −234‎ IBM PS/2 ‎ →‎Micro Channel Architecture: deleted "iBM offered to sell an MCA license to anyone who could afford the royalty" Why would they offer it to anyone who couldn't afford it? circular logic
