- 04:5004:50, 11 April 2018 diff hist −1 Neutron moderator →Moderation: Absolute temps are the intent here. And besides, in the range of "tens of billions", the 273-degree difference between Celsius and Kelvin is immaterial.
- 04:4504:45, 11 April 2018 diff hist +27 Neutron moderator "...just about 10 minutes" seemed awkward. Revised to just give the actual value (to the nearest second).
- 04:1904:19, 11 April 2018 diff hist −19 Sandra Bullock →2013–present: Continued success: Subjective.
- 01:3901:39, 11 April 2018 diff hist +12 Big Ben Split long sentence. Fixed double-local-TV-news style to be more encyclopedic and straightforward.
- 01:0601:06, 11 April 2018 diff hist +173 Talk:Time Town →Closed after 1981 season (not 1980): clarification
- 00:5700:57, 11 April 2018 diff hist −90 Big Ben Sources themselves are usually off topic, especially in the lede. Modified the quote so that it paraphrases the source, which is the preferred form unless the quote being a quote is itself germane to the topic.
10 April 2018
- 20:2720:27, 10 April 2018 diff hist +798 N Talk:Time Town →Closed after 1981 season (not 1980): new section
- 20:1020:10, 10 April 2018 diff hist 0 Time Town same
- 20:0820:08, 10 April 2018 diff hist 0 Time Town 1981 was the last summer. The source is incorrect (i.e. "unreliable") on that point. I know that "I was an employee there in 1981 and I found them closed in 1982 and onward" is not considered a reliable source, but that's all I can offer, and it is indeed true. One could look up any of the (many many) Yund "kids" for verification too I suppose.
9 April 2018
- 21:5521:55, 9 April 2018 diff hist −109 Neutron moderator →Moderation: Removed awkward "known as neutron slowing down". It's not "known as" that, it *is* that. Added phraseology to equate high speed with high KE. (actually it's high ''specific'' KE, but that distinction isn't so critical here)
- 21:4421:44, 9 April 2018 diff hist +1 Neutron moderator →Moderation: comma
- 21:4321:43, 9 April 2018 diff hist −55 Neutron moderator →Moderation: Uncited. Dubious because the right side had no term that increased with mass, and KE must be proportional to mass (or somehow the "amount of stuff"), as it is on the left side. Are we talking about *specific* energy here? --in which case the fix might be to remove the m from the left side. That Kb is Boltzmann constant is obvious to non-laity, but not clear to lay readers. Regardless, it still needs a citation to be replaced.
8 April 2018
- 17:2717:27, 8 April 2018 diff hist −90 TiVo →Hacking: Digression. Essentially a "how-to" do it. (WP:NOTHOWTO)
- 17:1917:19, 8 April 2018 diff hist −252 Infomercial →Televangelists: off topic digression, opinion "less-scrupulous", uncited too.
- 17:1317:13, 8 April 2018 diff hist −9 Infomercial →After 1984: opinion, subjective
- 17:0517:05, 8 April 2018 diff hist +505 N Talk:Sign-on and sign-off →Size is out of all proportion to notability. This is a joke article, right?: new section
- 15:5915:59, 8 April 2018 diff hist −45 K-tel →History: Dubious. Unsupported. "Infomercials" are the 15-minute or more minutes long devices that started around the 1990's -- unlike what's described here.
- 15:5215:52, 8 April 2018 diff hist −103 K-tel Originator? Dubious. Unsupported, looks like WP:OR. Not a summary of material in main text.
6 April 2018
- 03:5603:56, 6 April 2018 diff hist −11 Mary Pickford →Early years: WP:weasel ("reportedly")
- 03:4903:49, 6 April 2018 diff hist −68 Mary Pickford →Early life: Trimmed off-topic digression. The link adequately covers background info about the book.
- 03:4603:46, 6 April 2018 diff hist −236 Mary Pickford →Early life: Off topic, subjective "coincidence". Tag: references removed
- 03:4103:41, 6 April 2018 diff hist 0 Mary Pickford my typo
- 03:4003:40, 6 April 2018 diff hist +9 Mary Pickford Revised local-TV-news style (Incidental fact as incomplete sentence, this is a completely unrelated fact.) to encyclopedic style (This is fact1 in a complete sentence. Here is fact2 in a new sentence.)
5 April 2018
- 18:5518:55, 5 April 2018 diff hist +12 Beauvais Cathedral →History: Altered so the off-topic source so it is not in the main text. Paraphrased the quote.
- 18:4718:47, 5 April 2018 diff hist +139 Beauvais Cathedral →History: Tagged uncited assertions, one of them WP:weasel.
- 18:3018:30, 5 April 2018 diff hist −39 Beauvais Cathedral →History: The source itself is off topic. (A source *can* be germain to the topic, but that is rare, and it is not so here.)
- 18:2018:20, 5 April 2018 diff hist −3 Beauvais Cathedral my hopefully-last typo
- 18:1918:19, 5 April 2018 diff hist −16 Beauvais Cathedral my typo, moved "construction" topic nearer to "architecture" subject (w/o "seat" subject interjected between them)
- 18:1618:16, 5 April 2018 diff hist +30 Beauvais Cathedral split up multi-subject sentence, refined journalistic style to be encyclopedic.
3 April 2018
- 19:0619:06, 3 April 2018 diff hist +49 Call the Midwife linked "mainly UK" regionalism for benefit of non-UK readers. (alternative could be to replace with something more fully colloquial)
2 April 2018
- 16:5916:59, 2 April 2018 diff hist −21 GNU Zebra →Background: Link was not apt. Maybe it was supposed to be an *example* of an "IP Infusion" company, but that was unclear, and links don't typically go to examples anyway.
- 16:5116:51, 2 April 2018 diff hist −26 Access (company) Reduced a little bit of the large promotional tone. Also not covered in citation.
- 07:4907:49, 2 April 2018 diff hist −16 His Master's Voice "sound carriers"? Changed to colloquial/non-jargon "recordings". Actually, the most colloquial would be "records", but that sometimes implies vinyl.
- 06:4906:49, 2 April 2018 diff hist +1 User talk:98.216.249.147 Undid a very strange, very immaterial imposition of minor format preference on a unimportant user talk page made totally out of the blue. How could such a thing could be of the slightest concern to the modifier, or to anybody? Could it have been to provoke an unreasonable response? If my response is unreasonable, how about we just forget about it anyway and let it be, okay? A well-known editor expending reputation on such a thing would be a sorrier loss than a quirky IP doing the same. :-) Tag: Undo
31 March 2018
- 19:0119:01, 31 March 2018 diff hist +2 Los Angeles Aqueduct added needed commas
- 19:0019:00, 31 March 2018 diff hist −19 Los Angeles Aqueduct Removed WP:weasel "it is alleged". The purport that OV agriculture was effectively eliminated is supported in the main text with inline ref. If that ref isn't good enough, fight the fight there (in the main text).
- 17:1717:17, 31 March 2018 diff hist −18 Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft →The Carpenters version: Same.
- 17:1617:16, 31 March 2018 diff hist −18 Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft →The Carpenters version: Off topic in this article. That factoid is covered in the link.
- 17:1417:14, 31 March 2018 diff hist −19 Andrew Probert "known" or "best known" are usually immaterial, and near-impossible to cite, especially for people who are hardly "known" at all. "Known" by whom? Surely not by the populace in general.
- 17:0717:07, 31 March 2018 diff hist −576 Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft →The Carpenters version: Ref doesn't say this in any way. If the including editor did some kind of frequency analysis on the track, it would be original analysis. Not notable anyway, not the kind of thing ordinarily included in articles about songs, no indication that there was something special about about this song that made its vocal range notable.
- 08:3008:30, 31 March 2018 diff hist +4 Erving, Massachusetts Split up long sentence.
29 March 2018
- 08:1208:12, 29 March 2018 diff hist −11 Willis Carto →Influences: "best known" doesn't add anything, is ambiguous (best known among whom? lay people? probably not.) and uncited.
- 08:0608:06, 29 March 2018 diff hist −18 Willis Carto →Influences: fixed WP:weasel
- 06:4206:42, 29 March 2018 diff hist 0 Liberty Lobby Moved "History" section to front where it typically is for this kind of article. Leading with "Views" also lent a strong POV air -- it seemed the primary purpose of the article was to point out how rotten they were.
- 06:3406:34, 29 March 2018 diff hist −360 Liberty Lobby →Antisemitism: Same problem. Tagged uncited for 1.5 years. Strong charges require at least a little ref. Bring in a supporting citation and this can be reinstated.
- 06:3106:31, 29 March 2018 diff hist −246 Liberty Lobby →Antisemitism: Removed uncited strong remarks tagged-uncited for 1.5 years. Strong charges require strong references -- or at least *some* reference. It's also out of context, i.e. it's unclear who "Yockey" is yet. Bring in the refs (and explain "Yockey") and this can be reinstated.
- 06:1906:19, 29 March 2018 diff hist −226 Liberty Lobby →Antisemitism: Probably true, but it's WP:weasel ("was known"), uncited.

- 16:1216:12, 27 March 2018 diff hist +12 Boeing 747-8 split multi-subject sentence, journalistic style -> encyclopedic style
26 March 2018
- 04:1704:17, 26 March 2018 diff hist −114 Davey and Goliath What critics? This is original analysis / editor's opinion. Not a summary of material in main text. Uncited (neither here nor in main text). Dubious, it actually comes off as *very* preachy.
