• 22:0522:05, 19 April 2012 diff hist +1,311‎ Talk:Genghis Khan ‎ →‎Edit request on 19 April 2012: new section
• 20:4620:46, 19 April 2012 diff hist +48‎ Longline fishing ‎ included title to remove error message from previous post
• 20:4320:43, 19 April 2012 diff hist −250‎ Longline fishing ‎ Reference given is a dead link. While attempting to keep good faith, this statement appears to have been tagged on to the end of the article to weaken the above statements. This new reference contains numerous links to NOAA data on longline fishing.
• 20:3120:31, 19 April 2012 diff hist −70‎ Historian ‎ →‎See also: Not necessary or relevant, obviously out of place when looking at the above entries.
• 20:2920:29, 19 April 2012 diff hist −219‎ Historian ‎ →‎Ancient: This information belongs in the article about the book and is completely irrelevant to the greater topic of "Historian". It's placement at the end of a paragraph gives it the appearence of being tagged on at a much later date.
• 20:2420:24, 19 April 2012 diff hist +36‎ Plutarch ‎ →‎Hebrew translations: does this really need to be so in depth? seems out of place....longer than most previous sections combined.
• 20:1820:18, 19 April 2012 diff hist −69‎ Battle of Munda ‎ →‎Aftermath: Contentious, unreferenced. This is much closer to opinion than fact and in any case is not relevant enough to merit being here in this section.
• 20:1020:10, 19 April 2012 diff hist −315‎ Falcata ‎ →‎Quality and manufacture: Citation need over a year. The later information is just wrong, as the gladius was patterned off a different sword also native to Iberia - not the falcata or kopis.
• 20:0820:08, 19 April 2012 diff hist +19‎ Falcata ‎ →‎Name: sorry not sure how to tag something with this label, feel free to do it properly if you know how.

• 23:0823:08, 17 April 2012 diff hist −6‎ Sack of Rome (410) ‎ cleaned up previous edit
• 23:0723:07, 17 April 2012 diff hist −35‎ Sack of Rome (410) ‎ Simplified casualty count - the figures given were too accurate and exceeded the total number of Roman combatants when dead and wounded were combined.
• 23:0123:01, 17 April 2012 diff hist −39‎ Sack of Rome (410) ‎ →‎See also: ....this book has absolutely nothing to do with the sack of Rome. Why was it here? Tag: section blanking

16 April 2012

• 20:2020:20, 16 April 2012 diff hist −750‎ Bandwidth throttling ‎ →‎Comcast Corporation vs. FCC and U.S.: Unclear and definately unnecessary. Legal arguements like this should not be given in full, but summarized.
• 20:1720:17, 16 April 2012 diff hist −62‎ Bandwidth throttling ‎ →‎Application: redundant and defensive

12 April 2012

• 07:2907:29, 12 April 2012 diff hist −853‎ Crown-of-thorns starfish ‎ →‎Population outbreaks: reference provided indicates original research or possible vandalism - in any event these conclusions are only opinions.
• 07:2307:23, 12 April 2012 diff hist 0‎ Crown-of-thorns starfish ‎ →‎Predators: cleaned up previous edit
• 07:2207:22, 12 April 2012 diff hist −29‎ Crown-of-thorns starfish ‎ →‎Predators: The source clearly states this is not actually a coral polyp, it only resembles one. Much as I would love coral defend itself against these guys it just isn't so....
• 07:1407:14, 12 April 2012 diff hist −118‎ Crown-of-thorns starfish ‎ →‎Predators: stating the obvious, reworded
• 06:5806:58, 12 April 2012 diff hist +74‎ Trotline ‎No edit summary
• 06:5306:53, 12 April 2012 diff hist −153‎ Alligator snapping turtle ‎ →‎In captivity: removed innaccurate unsourced material
• 06:4006:40, 12 April 2012 diff hist −24‎ Sumatran tiger ‎ →‎Conservation: Again with the fine-toothed comb. You don't have to provide a date just to use the word "current". Ask for a reference if you must be so anal about every detail....
• 06:3706:37, 12 April 2012 diff hist −27‎ Sumatran tiger ‎ →‎Distribution and habitat: how could a date possibly be provided for this?

8 April 2012

• 19:5519:55, 8 April 2012 diff hist +6‎ Macedonian Wars ‎ →‎Fourth Macedonian War (150 to 148 BC): Changed wording slightly, the thought processes of men dead for thousands of years should not be described in certain terms.

7 April 2012

• 09:1709:17, 7 April 2012 diff hist −146‎ Frisii ‎ →‎Final demise of the ancient Frisii: dubious claim based soley on linguistics, directly contradicts previous statement
• 08:3008:30, 7 April 2012 diff hist −174‎ Deep-water coral ‎ Removed picture - the image is of shallow water coral. Explaining this in the description of the picture doesn't make it any less misleading for the majority who won't read it.
• 08:0508:05, 7 April 2012 diff hist −159‎ Cimbrian language ‎ this is out of place and unnecessary.
• 08:0108:01, 7 April 2012 diff hist −360‎ Cimbri ‎ →‎Descendants: Reference cited is the just the family owned website - this is not a valid source, particularly given the context....
• 07:4307:43, 7 April 2012 diff hist −663‎ Philip the Arab ‎ →‎Early life: the sources given say nothing of "arab descent", they only repeat the earlier version where the name is derived from his province of birth.
• 07:3107:31, 7 April 2012 diff hist −30‎ Gaius Julius Priscus ‎ "likely he either died of natural causes or" this statement is not only hugely vague and speculative, it also directly conflicts with the above information.
• 06:5506:55, 7 April 2012 diff hist +1‎ Lucius Vorenus (Rome character) ‎ →‎Character arc: clarified timeframe of events
• 06:0206:02, 7 April 2012 diff hist −10‎ Rome (TV series) ‎ HBO and the BBC do not recognize RAI's claim (as is mentioned later in the article, with reference given.)
• 04:5704:57, 7 April 2012 diff hist −209‎ Pyrrhus of Epirus ‎ →‎Struggle with Rome: Removed statements made in error and inserted unnecessarily - these were not Roman victories, and the contributor does not seem to even understand the meaning of Pyrrhic Victory....
• 04:5004:50, 7 April 2012 diff hist −42‎ Tyke (elephant) ‎ →‎See also: page no longer exists
• 03:4203:42, 7 April 2012 diff hist −344‎ Arsinoe IV ‎ →‎Her tomb at Ephesus: removed original research and unnecessary speculation in the form of a run on sentence

• 18:2818:28, 6 April 2012 diff hist +495‎ Talk:Archimedes ‎ →‎"Modern Experiments": new section
• 18:1518:15, 6 April 2012 diff hist −1‎ Marcus Claudius Marcellus ‎ →‎Historical significance: fixed spacing from previous edit
• 18:1518:15, 6 April 2012 diff hist −681‎ Marcus Claudius Marcellus ‎ →‎Historical significance: Removed strongly worded, unreferenced opinion. Ex: "Syracuse would have never fallen into Roman hands if it were not for Marcellus" This section was entirely in prose form and is more properly discussed right below.

• 06:3706:37, 3 April 2012 diff hist −306‎ Death of Alexander the Great ‎ →‎Resting place: out of place, irrelevantly tagged on to the very end
• 04:4004:40, 3 April 2012 diff hist +786‎ Talk:Sibel Kekilli ‎ →‎Pornographic past: Is this Sandstein's page? Or Sibel Kekilli's....
• 04:1704:17, 3 April 2012 diff hist +484‎ Talk:Sibel Kekilli ‎ →‎Sandstein is POV pushing: new section
• 02:3302:33, 3 April 2012 diff hist +384‎ Talk:John Basilone ‎ →‎....he fought with a MACHETE?: new section
• 02:2502:25, 3 April 2012 diff hist −14‎ John Basilone ‎ →‎Military service: Reverted changes by FieldMarine - this is NOT VANDALISM just because I don't have an account on wikipedia. The source given says nothing about him fighting with a MACHETE.
• 02:1702:17, 3 April 2012 diff hist −27‎ Sibel Kekilli ‎ →‎Life and career: The word "sensationalist" just caused me to spend several minutes sorting through tabloid sites to figure out this is actually TRUE. This phrasing is intentionally ambiguous - Sandstein is POV pushing this entire article.

• 01:3001:30, 29 March 2012 diff hist +1,231‎ Talk:Orangutan ‎ →‎FIX the Orangutans and Human section already!

20 March 2012

• 05:2105:21, 20 March 2012 diff hist −193‎ Gallows humor ‎ To suggest that gallows humor did not exist in the United States (where starvation, exposure, violent death and disease already occurred for millenia) previous to the events of the Holocaust is farcical at best. Citing a source does not make it true

19 March 2012

• 20:1020:10, 19 March 2012 diff hist −14‎ John Basilone ‎ →‎Guadalcanal: The source given says nothing about him fighting with a machete, just the .45. This appears to have been made up by some idiot as it is not mentioned anywhere else I could find.

7 March 2012

• 06:2606:26, 7 March 2012 diff hist −54‎ Retroactive continuity ‎ →‎Alteration: cleaned up previous edit
• 06:2606:26, 7 March 2012 diff hist −61‎ Retroactive continuity ‎ →‎Alteration: Removed innaccurate Hobbit/Tolkien info, the differences in later editions mentioned here is due to various publishers using different manuscripts, not the author's intent.
