- 00:2800:28, 29 October 2021 diff hist +226 Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana Fine: to resolve a three-way disagreement, keep all three well-documented English renderings for "groviera", rationally and truthfully connected, explained, wikilinked, and duly referenced; also, bold for both nicknames now, not just for one

- 08:4308:43, 28 October 2021 diff hist +22 Talk:Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana →Unjustified reversion: Small fix regarding exact form and spelling for "emmental"
- 08:4008:40, 28 October 2021 diff hist −7 Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana Until the confusion and lack of accurate information about cheeses is resolved in talk, the reference speaking of "Swiss Cheese" (not of "Emmental cheese") is best removed; the reader is still left in the dark about what this all means; and I tagged as "failed verification" the citation supposedly giving "Emmental" as a standard or primary English translation for "groviera"; please discuss fully in talk, with support of any changes you make here; consensus would be a worthy goal, yes?

- 23:0123:01, 27 October 2021 diff hist +1,529 Talk:Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana →Unjustified reversion: Why remove all mention of gruyère AND of "Swiss cheese", now? Unhelpful to readers.

- 05:3005:30, 27 October 2021 diff hist +6 Australian police ranks I don't know what happened here exactly, but the addition of "no" is absolutely necessary: "The ranks of Chief Inspector and Chief Superintendent are no longer used or promotable"; it makes zero sense without "no"; it is even ungrammatical

26 October 2021
- 22:0422:04, 26 October 2021 diff hist +165 Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana I supplied clearer and more exact information about the connection with "Swiss cheese" (not capitalising "cheese", now), with a reference to show that "Groviera" means and is derived from "Gruyère" – not just any old Swiss cheese Tag: Reverted

- 21:5521:55, 26 October 2021 diff hist +64 Graviera Supplying better information about the relationship between graviera and gruyère; in fact they are similar, and gruyère can be substituted for the Greek cheese if it is unavailable; most importantly, we now include the elusive information that the word "graviera" is derived from "gruyère" (omitting the intermediate Italian form "groviera"), and a good reference for this fact

- 01:1001:10, 28 September 2021 diff hist +12 Ulysses Fixed in the lead: "... is one form of the Roman name for Odysseus"; the standard Latin form is in fact "Ulixēs", as the linked article makes clear.
- 01:0501:05, 28 September 2021 diff hist −119 Ulysses (given name) Oops: reverted some of my own edit; some of this information is already given on the page; but I suggest retaining the caution over Ulysses S. Grant as best-known bearer of the name, which is probably confined to US culture; also, I added some caution in the lead, since "Ulixes" is the standard Latin form of the name: " one Latinized version of Odysseus".
- 01:0001:00, 28 September 2021 diff hist +148 Ulysses (given name) →People named Ulysses: Given the heading of this section. some mention is needed of the original bearer of the name, so I've added that: with a suitably brief explanation and two links that give full details; I also added "perhaps" and a four-word qualification before a rather gratuitous assertion: In the United States "Ulysses" is perhaps best known as the name of Ulysses S. Grant (1822–1885); for others in English Wikipedia's worldwide readership, Ulysses S. Grant is far less known.

- 04:4704:47, 27 September 2021 diff hist +41 Ulysses (given name) Amended pronunciation: in UK English it is still pronounced by many with the "correct" Latinate stress on the second syllable – just as it always has been in the US; the first-syllable stress is regarded by many as a strange modern quirk that somehow became fashionable, especially for referring to Joyce's novel; but it has not caught on universally; in the record and talk page I see no discussion or note explaining the omission that I now seek to rectify; amended re famousness of the name, also
- 04:4004:40, 27 September 2021 diff hist +39 Odysseus Amended pronunciation of "Ulysses" to record the fact that it in UK English it is still pronounced by many with the "correct" Latinate stress on the second syllable – just as it always has been in the US; the first-syllable stress is regarded by many as a strange modern quirk that somehow became fashionable, especially for referring to Joyce's novel; but it has not caught on universally; in the record and talk page I see no discussion or note explaining the omission that I now seek to rectify
