• 21:0221:02, 14 December 2021 diff hist +191 Chanda Prescod-Weinstein →Personal life: Every statement has to be verifiable. The two citations bracketing these two sentences—the on on the sentence before, and the one on the sentence after—do not contain the word "lawyer," etc. So, the two {{cn}} tags were placed.
• 20:1220:12, 14 December 2021 diff hist +902 Adaptationism Called for George Williams content to be added to Intro, so lede properly summarises article. Noted book citations without pg numbers, bec text to which they attach is essentially unverifiable. Note, these good but incomplete sources are NOT from the 2009 non-logging, brain-dumping, citation-omitting IP editor (<100 edits, 26 mo. presence). Even if this IP editor were a recognised evolutionary bio scholar, they'd still need to follow the WP:OR / VER rules—even a true scholar's OR is disallowed.
• 19:1719:17, 14 December 2021 diff hist +278 Adaptationism More unreferenced content. Note, all of this dates to September 2009, to another non-logging editor, "66.41.31.163", search the history for their entries. We have no basis, absent citations, to trust this massive addition of text without good scientific secondary sources.
• 18:5518:55, 14 December 2021 diff hist +69 Adaptationism This article demands a strong edited from a logging editor, removing all specualtive, free-form essay content that is unsourced, as the {{OR}} of some contributing editor or editors. We either follow the rules, or we do not. WP:VERIFY is not a take-it-or-leave it personal suggestion of this editor. It is the mainstay of why people do or do not trust our material. This article, this original work, must be brought into compliance with WP policies and guidelines.
• 18:5118:51, 14 December 2021 diff hist 0 Adaptationism →Constraints on the power of evolution: Moved the tag to the head of the section (rather than subsection); the whole of this is WP:OR, unsourced, and an insult to careful, WP:VERIFY following encyclopedic writing. Article goes on our "WP cannot recommend" list.
• 18:4918:49, 14 December 2021 diff hist +24 Adaptationism →Genetic constraints: Violates WP:VERIFY. Why should we trust this?
• 18:0418:04, 14 December 2021 diff hist −90 Sarah Gille Copy edited for stray punctuation, and to remove a red infobox warning over a duplicated field.
• 17:4017:40, 14 December 2021 diff hist +2,097 Sarah Gille Added SOCCOM citation and statment to the research section. Expanded infobox based on citation-based material in the article. Tag: possible BLP issue or vandalism
• 17:1117:11, 14 December 2021 diff hist +4,348 Sarah Gille Added DIMES role/activity. Copy edited to remove misspelling and mispunctuation ("plaform" => "platform,"). Converted the Awards... section to prose. Added the Swart et al Nature Geosci paper to the selected refs, and then added commentary on that paper from secondary sources to the Further reading, for future use in moving the article away from non-independent sources.
• 16:0416:04, 14 December 2021 diff hist +15 Ocean general circulation model Noting a general issue of the article—that it broadly violates WP:VERIFY, with paragraph after paragraph, over many sections, lacking any citations whatsoever.
• 16:0216:02, 14 December 2021 diff hist +25 Ocean general circulation model →Classification: Again, an entire section that is unverifiable. See second edit summary preceding.
• 16:0116:01, 14 December 2021 diff hist +25 Ocean general circulation model →Comparison with Atmospheric General Circulation Model: Entire section unverifiable, see last edit summary.
• 16:0016:00, 14 December 2021 diff hist +23 Ocean general circulation model →Subgridscale parameterization: At least two entire paragraphs unsourced. Per W:VERIFY, all non-"sky-is-blue" content must be sourced and verifiable.
• 14:1414:14, 14 December 2021 diff hist +39 Sarah Gille →External links: Adding a Further reading section to begin adding third-party sources of content about this BLP subject.
• 14:1314:13, 14 December 2021 diff hist +16 Sarah Gille This esteemed oceanographer deserves a more encyclopedic treatment from us. Apart from the small set of award website citations, all of the sources drawn on are from the subject herself (only a single one is third-party), and so this is little more than a mirror of the professor's autobiographical university page.
