04:2304:23, 8 April 2014 diff hist −718 Guns, Germs, and Steel →Reception: There, I think that keeps the three main "criticisms" (broad strokes, eurocentrism, and over-emphasizing geography) while being a reasonable length. Smith could perhaps be added as "alternative mechanisms" if someone has decent sources.
01:3601:36, 8 April 2014 diff hist +368 Talk:Winter Soldier Investigation →Definition of "Winter Soldier"
01:2001:20, 8 April 2014 diff hist −1,676 Guns, Germs, and Steel →Intellectual background: I have removed the original research. Find and cite some actual sources saying "So-and-so is linked to GS&S" before adding your personal speculation, editors. What remains of the section should probably go too.

04:1204:12, 12 March 2014 diff hist +1,396 Talk:Guns, Germs, and Steel →Deletion of Critique
03:5803:58, 12 March 2014 diff hist −103 Guns, Germs, and Steel →Reception: "Some people liked it and some people didn't." Pointless.
03:3303:33, 12 March 2014 diff hist −398 Guns, Germs, and Steel This paragraph has been waiting for citations for two years, so I'm thinking they just don't exist. Tag: section blanking

23:4823:48, 8 March 2014 diff hist +1 Guns, Germs, and Steel →Reception: Oops, forgot to make that change.
23:4223:42, 8 March 2014 diff hist +771 Talk:Guns, Germs, and Steel No edit summary
23:3923:39, 8 March 2014 diff hist −746 Guns, Germs, and Steel →Reception: Square peg in a round category. See Talk page. Tag: section blanking
21:2121:21, 8 March 2014 diff hist −5 Guns, Germs, and Steel The "main" criticisms of the book? Highly doubtful. They're not even "lines of reasoning," really.

05:1705:17, 23 February 2014 diff hist −275 The Man Who Wasn't There (2001 film) Hilarious that quotation marks are used but the sentence is uncited.

21:1421:14, 16 February 2014 diff hist −1,847 Nat Turner's Rebellion With proper citations, the deleted paragraphs would make great additions to other articles about African Americans or US education, but it's gone completely off-topic for this article.
21:0021:00, 16 February 2014 diff hist −821 Guns, Germs, and Steel Cleaned out some unnecessary detail in the Adam Smith subsection, but it's still too long compared to the others.
01:3601:36, 16 February 2014 diff hist +275 Talk:Guns, Germs, and Steel No edit summary

22:3022:30, 15 February 2014 diff hist +4 Talk:Guns, Germs, and Steel No edit summary
22:2622:26, 15 February 2014 diff hist +1,114 Talk:Guns, Germs, and Steel No edit summary
17:0817:08, 15 February 2014 diff hist −524 Guns, Germs, and Steel The removed section seemed to be putting words in Tomlinson's mouth and making conclusions for him.
16:5116:51, 15 February 2014 diff hist −867 Guns, Germs, and Steel Nowhere in this paragraph does it actually explain where and how Deutsch presents any criticism of Diamond. Please find actual criticism.
16:4416:44, 15 February 2014 diff hist −527 Guns, Germs, and Steel "Citation needed." There's no reason to believe that the paragraph I removed actually came from Blaut and isn't just a random editor's opinion otherwise.
16:3916:39, 15 February 2014 diff hist −321 Guns, Germs, and Steel No need for such a redundant paragraph, given the entire section on Smith below.
16:3616:36, 15 February 2014 diff hist −414 Guns, Germs, and Steel Some "critics", eh? Get names and get some citations or don't bother putting it back in.
05:3005:30, 15 February 2014 diff hist +369 Talk:Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed No edit summary
04:5304:53, 15 February 2014 diff hist −1,294 Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed If this paragraph belongs anywhere, it's in Guns, Germs, and Steel.

02:3602:36, 12 January 2014 diff hist −68 Nat Turner's Rebellion Removed out-of-place and unconventionally written "See also" links because, besides what I just mentioned, there's a See Also section right below it. Use that. (And PS: the link for citation 12 doesn't seem to be working right.)
02:3302:33, 12 January 2014 diff hist −934 Nat Turner's Rebellion Removed section because all it does is repeat information that's much better written and expounded upon in earlier sections. Tag: section blanking
