- 12:4012:40, 28 April 2024 diff hist +137 Mathematical beauty →In method: Rephrase a bit, remove the weasel word tags, add a citation. In discussing academic literature, generalizations are fine if they are supported by reliable sources and examples. Contradictory sources can be provided separately. In summary, we should not use such precise language in the introduction as to make it difficult to understand the basic concept. Instead, details should come later. And examples are already provided here. Also, added source for use of the word "elegant". Tag: Visual edit

- 08:3008:30, 25 April 2024 diff hist +8 Succession of the Roman Empire Add unity to the lede. Much of the body refers repeatedly to unions and unification (Slavic, Holy Roman Empire, etc.), and the empire's breadth and stability are important parts of the Roman Empire proper. Tag: Visual edit
- 07:4807:48, 25 April 2024 diff hist −2 Christianization →Places and practices: The article does not claim Christianity got the concept of a 7-day week from the Romans. The 7-day sabbatical week was first practiced by Jews (the first Christians), see Week. Rephrase this sentence, which is also an exaggeration of the article. Christianity as a whole does not prescribe names of weekdays, while the Latin church used Latin names because Latin was the language its leaders spoke. Conversely, some English weekdays derive from Germanic gods. current Tag: Visual edit

- 01:5001:50, 21 April 2024 diff hist −315 Light pollution →Remediation: Paragraph is about what light pollution is, not how to remedy it. Not sure it's really relevant to the article, but I moved it to definition and added an inline tag to indicate that it lacks references. Tag: Visual edit
- 01:3201:32, 21 April 2024 diff hist −11 Transhumanism →Specter of coercive eugenicism: The phrase "specter of" makes it sound ephemeral and fantastical. That's either biasing the reader toward perceiving this as an irrational concern, or seen as representing the article's value judgment. Anyway, it's inconsistent with the other headings, which don't prefix their subjects in this way with phrases like "fear of," "conerns about," or "possibility of." Tag: Visual edit

- 23:5523:55, 18 April 2024 diff hist −72 Big Crunch Lede - Avoid words like "new" or "recent" which are ambiguous and confusing in an online encyclopedia. ("New" as of when? Compared to what?) Additionally, it's misleading to say there are multiple new theories being actively debated by scholars. This is in reference to a single preprint that has only been cited 3 times according to Google Scholar. Tag: Visual edit

- 08:2408:24, 18 April 2024 diff hist +12 m Rogue black hole A rogue black hole can't be in a galaxy, as they are intergalactic by definition. The article says they're on the edge of the MW so let's go with that. current Tag: Visual edit

- 07:1707:17, 15 April 2024 diff hist +4 m Keloid These citations are already in the body, so including them in the lede is unnecessary. But, lest someone reverts my edit, I've included them redundantly in the lede as well. current Tag: Visual edit

- 21:5821:58, 20 March 2024 diff hist −124 Tartan Remove the claim about ancient China from the lede. This claim is not sourced anywhere in the body. A similar but contradictory claim was removed in my previous edit. It said 2100 BC in Western China. Xinjiang is in Western China, but 2100 BC is over 4100 years ago, not 3000. No source was provided for this claim, and I was unable to find one online. I won't add [citation needed] to the lede since it makes the article look sketchy. Feel free to add it back with a credible source. Tag: Visual edit
- 21:5421:54, 20 March 2024 diff hist −225 Tartan →East and South Asia: The pre-medieval origins section linked here does not mention China. Citation 722, cited for the following sentence, does not claim that tartan was first woven in neolithic China. Such a claim should definitely have a source, since it's extremely rare for textiles that old to survive to the present day, and it's doubtful that neolithic China traded with neolithic Britain. If someone has a source, feel free to add the claim back. Tag: Visual edit

- 23:4523:45, 18 March 2024 diff hist +202 Romance (love) →Popularization of the term "Romance": Clean up this section, which is overwhelmingly about the concept of courtly love and not about the term itself. Split into two sections. Move content about the origin of love to the section about its origin. Add new sources about the term itself. Add new sources about courtly love to provide some perspective from contemporary scholarship. Remove redundant material, make the diction less editorial, generally trim it down.
