- 23:0823:08, 21 January 2012 diff hist +617 Muon-catalyzed fusion Corrected an egregious physics error in the introduction--ever since Jackson's pioneering work in 1957 it has been known that the 2 microsecond half-life of muons is irrelevant!

- 20:5120:51, 17 August 2010 diff hist +83 Muon-catalyzed fusion Corrected the physics of how and why each muon can only catalyze a few hundred nuclear fusion reactions without going into unnecessary details about the "alpha-sticking" problem.

30 July 2007
- 22:3322:33, 30 July 2007 diff hist −43 m Muon-catalyzed fusion Withdrew the assertion that "cool fusion" would be a better name "for obvious reasons" since there was no citation for such a claim, an objection that's ridiculous, by the way!

8 November 2006
- 22:0322:03, 8 November 2006 diff hist +798 Muon-catalyzed fusion Separated Notes from References and increased the already sufficient number of citations!
- 20:5920:59, 8 November 2006 diff hist +468 Talk:Muon-catalyzed fusion I'm posing a question to help me understand why the "unreferenced" tag has been affixed to a very well referenced article!
7 November 2006
- 20:5320:53, 7 November 2006 diff hist +534 Muon-catalyzed fusion In an effort to slim the body of the article down significantly and to make it more readily readable, I've relegated most of the tangential asides to the footnotes.
- 01:1901:19, 7 November 2006 diff hist +536 Talk:Muon-catalyzed fusion I've tried to answer the various questions and objections raised and probably gone way over my word limit in doing so!

- 05:5305:53, 28 October 2006 diff hist +430 Muon-catalyzed fusion Moved some of the interesting, but less essential, commentary to references and notes section to improve the flow of the article; also repaired some of the edits made by others!
