9 March 2024
- 03:5903:59, 9 March 2024 diff hist −45 Disappearance of Walter Collins In the See Also section, I removed the link to the Irene Silverman|Sante Kimes article. I could not find any connection between these two articles.

18 December 2023
- 21:4121:41, 18 December 2023 diff hist +27 m Carey Mulligan In the Early Life and Education section, changed some of the wording for clarity.
8 November 2023
- 20:2920:29, 8 November 2023 diff hist −1,048 Marty (The Philco Television Playhouse) In the introduction, removed information about awards won by a later (1955) adaptation, and in the Development section, removed details of casting for that later adaptation. That material belongs in the article about that later adaptation. current
- 19:4919:49, 8 November 2023 diff hist 0 m Wife vs. Secretary In the Plot section, changed one word ("she" to "her"), just a grammatical error. Well, it was bugging me! current
3 November 2023
- 10:1910:19, 3 November 2023 diff hist +65 m Peter Farquhar In the Murder section, rewrote a sentence to clarify what was meant by "engaged" (in quotes). Use of quotes suggested that the engagement was false in some way.
26 October 2023
- 23:2023:20, 26 October 2023 diff hist −266 Roxie Hart (film) Rewrote the Plot Summary section, because it was confusing and not really encyclopedic tone, and fixed a couple of confusing sentences in the intro. No changes in actual content.
22 July 2023
- 22:3022:30, 22 July 2023 diff hist −45 m The Crime Doctor (1934 film) In Plot section, characters were referred to sometimes by their first name and sometimes by last name. Same character, I mean. This makes it unnecessarily confusing. I standardized to first name (because two characters had same last name). current
20 July 2023
- 02:3702:37, 20 July 2023 diff hist +35 m The Sin of Madelon Claudet First reference link was broken. Fixed, I think/hope.

- 23:1423:14, 15 February 2023 diff hist +4 m Fantastic Voyage All male characters were referred to in this article by their last names (after first mention), and the one female character by her first name. Common misogynist error. I fixed it.

23 December 2022
- 23:3823:38, 23 December 2022 diff hist −7 m User:Sylviaa Removed html-2 because that was many years ago and I haven't kept up on changes in how html is used. current
27 August 2022
- 08:1308:13, 27 August 2022 diff hist −24 m 28 Days (film) The disambiguation in the intro had a serious ambiguity, which I removed.
15 April 2022
- 07:0407:04, 15 April 2022 diff hist −61 m The Call (2013 film) Removed " 'Wonder whether any likened it to an Alfred Hitchcock movie." which had no source cited and seems to have been strictly an editorial comment
24 March 2022
- 07:1107:11, 24 March 2022 diff hist −56 m Hamilton City, California The next-to-last sentence under History sounded like advertising copy. I rewrote the sentence somewhat to be encyclopedic in style.
5 December 2021
- 02:1402:14, 5 December 2021 diff hist −42 m The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time Removed an opinion about Christopher as a character because it wasn't attributed to anybody with a citation.
22 November 2021
- 01:3601:36, 22 November 2021 diff hist +6 m Lorenzo's Oil We don't usually identify the author of a poem by first name only. Added last name.
30 July 2021
- 23:0323:03, 30 July 2021 diff hist +640 Talk:(How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window? No edit summary
- 22:5522:55, 30 July 2021 diff hist −1,467 (How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window? In the Legacy section, removed the paragraph that started "A frequent misnomer..." I think the person must have meant "misunderstanding" and doesn't understand what "misnomer" means. In any case, the statement made in the paragraph has no connection whatsoever with the sources cited (and is also obviously false).
27 June 2021
- 21:5221:52, 27 June 2021 diff hist −65 m Beyond the Valley of the Dolls In the Russ Meyer section, removed a redundant sentence that also had no source cited.

11 June 2021
- 03:4803:48, 11 June 2021 diff hist +25 m Father of the Bride (1950 film) In the Cast Notes section, the link was to the book, rather than to the movie being referred to. I'm hoping I fixed it. Not sure I did it right.
7 June 2021
- 06:0006:00, 7 June 2021 diff hist −197 m 101 Dalmatians (franchise) In the Future section, removed some redundant text.
13 May 2021
- 01:4701:47, 13 May 2021 diff hist −116 m Ray Bolger In the Television section, removed "going back to his Irish roots" from the mention of his Scotch Buy commercial. (WTF?)
17 April 2021
- 06:1506:15, 17 April 2021 diff hist +50 m Dead Again Standardized the names in the Plot section so the reader has fewer character names to keep track of.
6 April 2021
- 02:3302:33, 6 April 2021 diff hist −45 m State of the Union (film) In the Plot section, standardized characters' names so last names are used (when possible) instead of alternating between last and first names (for women).

- 07:3207:32, 8 March 2021 diff hist +2 V. K. Ratliff Trying again--the redirect should be to the first of Faulker's Snopes trilogy, not the middle one. (I accidentally did a bad link the first time and Liz changed it.) current Tag: Redirect target changed

8 February 2021
- 03:1403:14, 8 February 2021 diff hist −227 Blood Work (film) Rewrote the Plot section for clarity and grammar, because it was hard to understand. It still is kind of confusing but I haven't seen the movie so...
5 February 2021
- 04:2604:26, 5 February 2021 diff hist −4 m Lincrusta Oops, typo in links I added. Fixed. I hope.
- 04:2404:24, 5 February 2021 diff hist +41 m Lincrusta In the Production & Characteristics section, "scumbling" and "glazing" both had incorrect links. Re-linked them to the same correct page.

- 04:3504:35, 25 September 2020 diff hist +89 N Talk:Catherine, or The Bower Sylviaa moved page Talk:Catherine, or The Bower to Talk:Catharine, or The Bower: It's misspelled. The name of the book is Catharine, or The Bower, not Catherine. current Tag: New redirect

- 04:1104:11, 25 September 2020 diff hist −1,341 Catharine, or The Bower Changed Catherine to the correct spelling, Catharine, throughout. Edited the Plot section for clarity, grammar, and tightness. Protagonist was referred to sometimes as Kitty and sometimes as Catharine and I standardized that. Aunt was referred to sometimes as Mrs. Percival and sometimes as Mrs. Peterson so I standardized that too.
