Graph called JHG both major and LTC at same time -- nonsense even without naked contradiction of 1959 LTC promo date. Descr. of stars & clusters was simply *total nonsense*, past space here to describe.

• 10:0010:00, 7 December 2016 diff hist 0‎ Battle of Tassafaronga ‎ Y'all beyond help, hope: 2nd time in two pieces only partly read that I see gruesome, infantile use of singular for plural possessive. Unless "editors" learn nursery-school English, Wiki necessarily fails mission, can't be taken seriously on *any*thing.
• 02:5602:56, 7 December 2016 diff hist −173‎ m Samuel Benton ‎ For any, to take mote-clues how to write efficiently, by *inter* *many* *alia* cutting the obvious-understood and needless repetition, I treat a few of millions of such begging improvement across Wiki: many in *every* substantive piece ever read.
• 02:3502:35, 7 December 2016 diff hist +41‎ Andrew Jackson ‎ For crying out loud, I hadn't even seen the hooter in the same place. Not content to call 73 days (not 71, as I said in last edit on 2 sec. thought) 2 months, "editors" on same line call 20 days 2 weeks. Got nursery school "math"? Get adult supervision!
• 02:2302:23, 7 December 2016 diff hist −2‎ Andrew Jackson ‎ Clowns: As usual, reading even, as here, ca. 1/4 is enough for multiple corrs. 71 days (22 Dec-04 Mar) isn't best described as 2 (or 3) mo. but 10 weeks or 71 days. And "Adam's" exped plan? *AYFKM*? W/o *1st grade* English, you become, e.g., USA Today.

• 09:3809:38, 29 November 2016 diff hist −1‎ List of NATO Secretaries General ‎ As ever, incompetence is "only" the start; as ever, "editors" can't even read Wiki itself (which IDs him accurately at his own page): Surname CaRington, esp when given with given name; CaRRington by "noble" title.

• 11:2711:27, 28 November 2016 diff hist +41‎ Christopher Gordon (composer) ‎ People loved (q.v.) his terrific Moby Dick score. Belongs on the list as much as Master and Commander, for which he largely (if well) relied on classical music.

In 78 he sought 4th; reelected 86, 90 and [though eff. set aside] 94; THEN SEEKS 4TH in 2000?! C'mon clowns: Foam-mouth my counting on *one* hand 4u!

Is Wiki *that* determined to rival, say, the Washington Post in numerical facility? C'mon, clowns: Badmouth my *again* counting *on fingers" 4u.

• 09:1209:12, 25 November 2016 diff hist −17,656‎ 1880 United States presidential election ‎ Of course the whole Results section had to go. I leave to you geniuses inserting one that **responsibly meets major connected articles (e.g. Hancock) and problematically variable data sources** (as my text does in brief). GARFIELD? DIDN'T EVEN LOOK.
• 08:5808:58, 25 November 2016 diff hist −2‎ 1880 United States presidential election ‎ Same as att. to Hancock article ca. 1hr. ago. Oh, c'mon incompetents, fact-haters, fact-bringer-haters, "affective 'education'" types: Badmouth me some more, rather than thank me for at least starting you to resolving way-ugly OBVIOUS contradiction.
• 07:5907:59, 25 November 2016 diff hist +111‎ Winfield Scott Hancock ‎ To pathetic moron-losers who badmouth me b/c I see *factual error*, contradiction et al., very often OBVIOUS in *almost every* history/geo/sci piece: Compare this piece and the election's previously at pop-vote. I'm harsh? *You need adult supervision.*

• 15:0615:06, 16 April 2016 diff hist 0‎ Suez Canal ‎ Seems a Clown started attacking my Correction of Error even while I was doing it. So I again abandon Clowns as hopeless, un-helpable. May re-check in a few years for an unlikely culture change and a bit of adulthood. For now: Clowns: Build started 1859,

E.g., this. As in uncounted 1000s of cases, the piece itself shows error to even zero topic knowledge.
• 01:5601:56, 16 April 2016 diff hist +47‎ Roland Emmerich ‎ Nothing changes: Wiki won't get serious, even to one-sniff smelling itself; and since late 2013 I won't even read angry msgs left for me. Just correct an error for every few-100 seen; esp. obvious ones like this, eliding his one serious film from key list

• 07:4407:44, 21 February 2016 diff hist −171‎ Konrad Adenauer ‎ Oh, also necessarily killed (IN MAIN TEXT ONLY) that FALSE reference, assuming it was written after 1984 (and falsely used in any case). BUT SINCE MY COMPUTER APPARENTLY CAN'T SEE NOTES IN CORR MODE, SOMEBODY PLS KILL INFRA.
• 07:3707:37, 21 February 2016 diff hist −4‎ Konrad Adenauer ‎ AND, CLOWNS (yes I called y'all yet another name; how awful), note even my correction should be checked vs. other old, elected leaders, maybe in some smaller lands. At moment, I don't owe Wiki the time or anything but contempt.
• 07:3507:35, 21 February 2016 diff hist +9‎ Konrad Adenauer ‎ I stopped helping Wiki more than two years ago due to sustained psychopathic reactions exemplifying how/why Wiki can't/won't gain credibility; viz. respect for FACTS. Here, a probe on sheer obviousness: RONALD REAGAN in 1984 (months older).

• 11:1911:19, 10 December 2013 diff hist +7‎ Richard Dreyfuss ‎ Wrong year for his Oscar, right at the top. But of course, this being Wiki, it's worse -- correct info is infra in article. As so often, naked internal contradiction.

6 December 2013

• 08:2808:28, 6 December 2013 diff hist +9‎ IAI Nesher ‎ OH, and guess what, Wiki-clowns? Even the part I hoped was right, was FLAT WRONG. Airport attack was in 1968; **common sense** said check, given 1/69 embargo. So, another egregious Wiki factual double-fault. The whole line was deeply factually wrong.
• 08:2408:24, 6 December 2013 diff hist −49‎ IAI Nesher ‎ It's classic Wiki, classic e.g. of why the silly nasty notes "editors" write me are worse than silly and nasty: 1969 was "on the eve of the Six-Day War"?! Wiki more incompetent than Washington Post, and that's hard to do.

5 December 2013

• 12:1512:15, 5 December 2013 diff hist +28‎ The Fighter ‎ Typical Wiki hopelessness: Naked factual error seen by naked factual contradiction with **what**? Wiki's **own content**, here in Eklund's article. Ray slipped, was not knocked down. C'mon, more upset messages! Put the error back, just to spite me!
• 06:5006:50, 5 December 2013 diff hist −1‎ Tim Tebow ‎ Yet anothe aspect of Wiki hopelessness: inability to write in *English.* LEAD is an element, sign Pb, and a present-tense verb. LED is a past-tense verb.
• 04:0304:03, 5 December 2013 diff hist −10‎ Frederick Cook ‎ No hope for Wiki: Not only, as ever, wrong year for important event, but **obviously** so even to zero topic knowledge, simply by contradiction with other immediately present data. Go ahead: Send inane hateful msgs b/c I correct obvious factual errors.

• 06:1506:15, 23 November 2013 diff hist −1‎ James–Younger Gang ‎ corrected this strange grammatical error "picture. In 1882."
• 05:4505:45, 23 November 2013 diff hist +26‎ Michigan ‎ Another case of the errant and/or confused (here, John from Idegon) undoing either indisputable factual correction or, as here, mere improvement. Alphabetical order is not better, in this context, than size order. Here I'm explicit that's the order used.
• 05:4005:40, 23 November 2013 diff hist +20‎ Isle Royale ‎ Same as note attached to re-correction of Skype: Letting the confused, errant and sometimes sadly just stupid actually undo corrections, or even (as here) mere improvements (thus no adult/factual control) is a Wiki **fatal flaw** Here perp is Asher196.
• 05:3005:30, 23 November 2013 diff hist +46‎ Skype ‎ Not often looking after my many corrections (nearly every article I see), I just noticed "Codename Lisa's" errant, fundamentally confused undoing of my correction. This activity exemplifies Wiki's **fatal flaw** and *bar from every being really credible*
• 05:1605:16, 23 November 2013 diff hist +42‎ Confederate Heartland Offensive ‎ Description of perryville and its role very misleading -- as seen not only from facts of perryville but this very page's later reference to it. As so often, negligent inattention creates error in plain sight of correct/better info.

21 November 2013

• 08:2508:25, 21 November 2013 diff hist −626‎ Mexico City ‎ Some 200 corrections and improvements across wide range: hard facts, spelling, grammar, ludicrous numerical false precision (in any case but esp. given time frame) , geo-misstatements seen from piece's own map; much more. Piece now at least presentable.
