10:3710:37, 8 May 2018 diff hist +27‎ Marin County, California ‎ →‎Education: slight addition and correction to the sentence for better flow ~~~~
10:3110:31, 8 May 2018 diff hist +62‎ Marin County, California ‎ →‎Overview: Okay, it's pov but so was the original statement. And this is actually what happened. People involved in farming, manufacturing (yes, Marin had LOTS of manufacturing), and other less lucrative careers were pushed aside by finance and insurance. This was also a factor. Around 1980 the Pacific Sun found that over 50% of current residents had lived in Marin fewer than five years. Big change in population ~~~~
10:1310:13, 8 May 2018 diff hist −470‎ Marin County, California ‎ removed that because it was misleading and unimportant. There was ALWAYS a jail in the civic center, from the beginning. The expansion was created underground to AVOID CHANGING the structure. As such, unless you are imprisoned there, you wouldn't even know it exists ~~~~ Tag: references removed

06:1606:16, 7 May 2018 diff hist −5‎ Sitka, Alaska ‎ →‎In popular culture: there are no "Sitka Islands". It's the Baranoffs (sp ?). So I don't know if the citation is factual or not but at least can correct a mislabelled location ~~~~

06:1006:10, 7 May 2018 diff hist +2‎ Sitka, Alaska ‎ →‎Territorial Alaska: the idiom is generally control, not power. Perhaps that's because a human cannot "power" a territory, but they can control it (more or less. Politically and as far as other humans go, at any rate.) ~~~~
06:0506:05, 7 May 2018 diff hist −3‎ Sitka, Alaska ‎ →‎Russian America: obviously they did NOT call it "redoubt" anything. Look at the word. "Fort", as plain as the nose on your face, even in Russian. No need to be pompous ~~~~

08:2508:25, 6 May 2018 diff hist −216‎ Sand Point, Alaska ‎ →‎Transportation: complaining about prices is not the place for wikipedia. Additionally, even if the claims are correct and wikipedia were the place for it, the figures substantiating the process would need to be documented. Also, if Sand Point doesn't have roads, then why do people rent cars ? to sit in and make vrooom vroom noises ?~~~~
07:3907:39, 6 May 2018 diff hist −11‎ Orca attacks ‎ →‎1970s: A "solid-hull dinghy" ? What, it was a dugout canoe ? Or a pointy floating log ? puh-lease let's stick with real-world (r) words, if at all possible ~~~
07:3407:34, 6 May 2018 diff hist −4‎ Taku Harbor ‎ sheesh ~~~~
04:4504:45, 6 May 2018 diff hist −171‎ Ketchikan Harbor Seaplane Base ‎ →‎External links: I removed this link as it redirected to some Microsoft spam. Not sure if this is a local issue or what, but tried three times from separate ip's and locations, got the same result. If it's on my end, please revert. But I don' think it is .... ~~~~
02:1702:17, 6 May 2018 diff hist −23‎ Satellite Internet access ‎ →‎Two-way satellite-only communication: it's the world's reserve currency. I think we know what the dollar is. this overlinkage is getting ridiculous ~~~~

11:5711:57, 3 May 2018 diff hist −30‎ Edmund Kemper ‎ →‎Release and time between murders: California doesn't have state troopers. The CHP fulfils that role. I don't know what agency he appllied to and it's nowhere easily accessible but "state trooper" is not correct ~~~~
11:1511:15, 3 May 2018 diff hist −4‎ Edmund Kemper ‎ →‎Release and time between murders: common English word, overlinkage removed ~~~~
11:1411:14, 3 May 2018 diff hist −35‎ Edmund Kemper ‎ →‎First murders: Does it improve the article to know it was a 22 or does it just add words ? Would it have been different if he'd use a 30-06 ? What color were his socks that day ? Details that help an image are useful. Meaningless words just get in the way (Ernest Hemingeway said that.) ~~~~
11:0011:00, 3 May 2018 diff hist −1,043‎ Edmund Kemper ‎ →‎Imprisonment: I removed that section because it wasn't honest. Even according to that text, Kemper did *nothing* except make a very black joke. If the other person "felt threatened" then it was the other person's problem, not Kemper. Maybe I "feel threatened" by Tinkerbelle, but that doesn't make Tink threatening, if you catch my meaning ~~~~

So it's not "controversial." No need for excess b.s. in these things ~~~~ Tag: references removed
05:2105:21, 2 May 2018 diff hist +2‎ Joe Gibbs Racing ‎ The team, Joe Gibbs Racing, is a 'which' and the subject of the sentence. Joe is a 'who' and he [i]never[/i] started racing, since as far as I know he doesn't drive. Grammar ~~~~

01:3901:39, 1 May 2018 diff hist −34‎ Inside Passage ‎ →‎Alaska portion: clearity of language improvement, sigh. Ernest Hemingway, three words is better than fifty. ~~~~
01:3701:37, 1 May 2018 diff hist −223‎ Inside Passage ‎ NO ! Who writes this wrong stuff ? It is NEVER referred to as the inland passage, except INCORRECTLY. The northwest passage / inland passage is a different kettle of fish entirely !! ~~~~
01:3501:35, 1 May 2018 diff hist −68‎ Inside Passage ‎ corrected computer glitch ~~~~
01:3501:35, 1 May 2018 diff hist +65‎ Inside Passage ‎ They are NOT "ocean-going." That's the point of the word "inside". Replaced with ships and boats to cover large and small, that should cover everything from canoes to tankers ~~~~

13:4713:47, 30 April 2018 diff hist −18‎ Jeffrey Dahmer ‎ →‎Adolescence and high school: he's a US serial killer, we should use US terminology maybe ? Altho this statement is silly, no one in high school would be concerned about this behavior ~~~~

12:5512:55, 29 April 2018 diff hist −25‎ China Camp State Park ‎ →‎Chinese settlement: actually, the new regulations were because the existing practices had decimated the shrimp. The Bay shrimp which USED to be so plentiful have never really returned. But that doesn't fit the Poor Me narrative so I'll restrict the edit to facts. ~~~~
12:5012:50, 29 April 2018 diff hist −9‎ China Camp State Park ‎ →‎Pre-Chinese settlement: removed redundancy - 'hunting game' is like 'fishing fish' and we all know what oaks are. ~~~~

Was not a useful addition to the article ~~~~

03:1803:18, 29 April 2018 diff hist −11‎ Kenworth W900 ‎ →‎Specifications: It's not strange. Thnk about this for two seconds - windshields are EXPENSIVE. If you only get a rock chip or crack on one side, why replace the whole thing ? It's considerate of KW to offer this. Perhaps in 2018 that can be considered "strange and unusual" :) ~~~~

I may as well claim that he is bowlegged from a youth as a cowboy or a career in rodeo. There is NO indication of any such thing ~~~~ Tag: references removed

11:3811:38, 23 April 2018 diff hist −4‎ Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984 film) ‎ →‎Plot: simple english dictionary word, doesn't need a wiki link, is not an arcane concept ~~~~

09:4109:41, 21 April 2018 diff hist −73‎ Arthur L. Herman ‎ →‎Views: what Mr Herman's grandfather did or did not do is not relevant to his personal value to society or importance as a "historian". We are not a seventeenth-century French aristocracy. Yet. ~~~~
09:3209:32, 21 April 2018 diff hist −18‎ Joseph McCarthy ‎ →‎Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations: that's not "carefully oblique". That's a direct refutal. Perhaps Eisenhower did not openly criticize McCarthy as much as he could have, but that's a value judgement. This phrase, however, is unjustified and pv propaganda ~~~~ ~~~~
07:3707:37, 21 April 2018 diff hist +6‎ Battle of Nicopolis ‎ →‎Siege of Nicopolis: it's normal with French aristocratic names to include the "of" preposition ? Coucy is not a family name, it is a place name ... That's how I have always seen it done ~~~~
06:0006:00, 21 April 2018 diff hist −8‎ Song of Roland ‎ →‎Critical opinions: removed the exraneous and innacurate adverb as it's not clear at all what his point is. in fact, far from being "clear" the claim seems more like a self-aggrandizing bunch of b.s. ~~~~
04:4904:49, 21 April 2018 diff hist −2‎ Battle of Nicopolis ‎ →‎Journey: I'm pretty sure they understood it. They just didn't agree with it :) ~~~~
04:4604:46, 21 April 2018 diff hist 0‎ Battle of Nicopolis ‎ →‎Composition of Ottoman forces: "continue to be repeated" was in the preceding paragraph, speaking of "repeated" it's not good form ~~~~

05:2305:23, 18 April 2018 diff hist −26‎ Outboard motor ‎ →‎Four stroke outboards: factual correction. Sulzer two-strokes are the MOST efficient, while "techmology" doesn't show any favoritism to four-strokes.
