7 April 2020
- 01:4601:46, 7 April 2020 diff hist −32 m Kathleen Sky Deleted 'Mask of the Sorcerer' as a notable work. It's not in the list of three novels in the article, and the only novel with those words in the title in Google or fantasticfiction.com is 'The Mask of the Sorcerer' by Darrell Schweitzer.
10 January 2020
- 04:2004:20, 10 January 2020 diff hist +7 m Tumbleweeds (comic strip) Changed 'soon' to 'eventually' because Lotsa Luck was still mute 22 years after the strip began; cf. all the paperbacks.

18 December 2019

9 December 2019
- 07:2207:22, 9 December 2019 diff hist +1,455 Beetle Bailey I added book numbers from book covers. Not original research; I just copied from actual books. Want photos? This showed a couple of places where two books from the same year were in the wrong order, like Strategic Withdrawal and Thin Air. This isn't foolproof; e.g., see ISBNs of #17/#19. Also found a few publisher misattributions: Operation Good Times, What's the Joke, and Big Hits from BB are Charter and neither seems a reprint by or for Tor; #33 and #42 are Jove. Whence numbers of 1-49?
- 03:5803:58, 9 December 2019 diff hist +16 m Beetle Bailey Four BB books (Potato Fancakes!, In the Soup, Dog-Gone, Not Reverse!) were listed as 1967 Tor books. This is impossible, since Tor didn't exist until 1980. The editor was presumably going by the King Features copyrights ('1966, 1967' in the two I own). The copyright pages are rudimentary compared to those in 'Tough Luck (Giant Size)' from December 1984, so that provides an endpoint. Incidentally, I have two copies of 'Rise And Shine' with the same 1983 KFC copyright data, but one is Giant Size.
25 August 2019
- 21:0521:05, 25 August 2019 diff hist −1 m B.C. (comic strip) Microedit: removed apostrophe from 'Truckin' On Down' (verifiable in my copy and all over Google, if it matters), lowercased the 'O' (standard practice, also Googlable)
24 August 2019
- 06:3806:38, 24 August 2019 diff hist +382 m B.C. (comic strip) Added info on trade paperbacks of the first three books (two of which I own). Corrected spelling of 'GrowingGold' to what appears on the cover (the 'gold' part is in gold letters but there's only one 'g' and it's not capped).
1 January 2019
- 22:3822:38, 1 January 2019 diff hist +5 m Charles Fort Added a space, bracketed an 'Ace Books'. Oops.
- 22:3622:36, 1 January 2019 diff hist +103 m Charles Fort 1941 dates for Ace printings impossible; Ace began in 1962. Revised dates based on The Science Fiction Collector #1, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ace_Books, and my copy of NL (to give the exact year).

24 August 2018
- 04:3404:34, 24 August 2018 diff hist 0 Category:Events that forced the climate Corrected spelling of 'affected'. Also changed 'climate' to 'weather' because climate is an average of weather over time and one year's weather is not climate. I am prepared to be corrected on this.

- 01:0801:08, 8 November 2013 diff hist −16 Aichi M6A No edit summary
- 01:0201:02, 8 November 2013 diff hist +16 m Aichi M6A Changed translation 'Mountain Haze', a widely propagated error (loses sei = clear, adds 'mountain' from nowhere except maybe the radical atop ran = storm), to match the detailed explanation in Sakaida (which has two Japanese-named authors).
