• 23:5523:55, 24 April 2015 diff hist +19‎ Khorasan group ‎ There's good evidence that this group is a simple US intelligence hoax (and some more of this evidence should be given in the article). At any rate, my insertion of the word "reportedly" is a very conservative edit, and you might consider not reverting it

• 18:4818:48, 12 March 2015 diff hist −128‎ Middle English creole hypothesis ‎ →‎French influence on Middle English: It is nonsense to speak specifically about the S-plural in German and Dutch because neither Old High German nor Old Dutch had any plurals in -s. (In both languages the modern S-form is borrowed from Low German.)

12 June 2014

• 16:4816:48, 12 June 2014 diff hist −18‎ Dative case ‎ →‎German: The dative ending -e in German nouns (although still in limited use until ca. 1960) is now altogether obsolete. It's confusing, unnecessary, and simply wrong to include it in the examples (even in brackets).

• 11:4911:49, 29 May 2014 diff hist +146‎ High German consonant shift ‎ →‎Phase 2: It is very wrong to say that the shift [k] > [kx] only occurred in the area in which we see it today. In Old High German it was spread throughout Upper German (except maybe the northernmost dialects). It was later pushed back.
• 11:4011:40, 29 May 2014 diff hist −1‎ High German consonant shift ‎ →‎Phase 2: The affricate [kx] was written <ch> in Old High German. The simple fricative [x] was <h> (before consonant) and the geminate [x:] was <hh>.

• 22:1522:15, 27 March 2014 diff hist −107‎ Grammatical gender ‎ →‎Grammatical vs. natural gender: It is true that "Frau" originally meant "lady" or "upper-class woman", but the explanation was misleading insofar as this sense is completely absent from the contemporary language.

• 17:3217:32, 13 March 2014 diff hist −16‎ Novial ‎ →‎Novial compared to Esperanto and Ido: So there is a certain degree of inflection in Esperanto that might be complicated, but calling it "Latin-like" is non-sense.
• 12:2612:26, 13 March 2014 diff hist −125‎ Luxembourgish ‎ →‎Nominal syntax: This is a very bad example, because it's one of the important differences between German and Luxembourgish that diminutives generally (Meedchen may be an exception) keep their gender: eng Zäitchen, eng Bréckelchen etc.
