• 18:3418:34, 21 May 2024 diff hist +2 Wikipedia:Edit filter →Basics of usage: corrected wording that was probably opposite of what was intended; 'next lowest' was used where 'next highest' or 'next lower' was apparently intended.

• 16:5316:53, 6 May 2024 diff hist 0 Nuclear electromagnetic pulse →Russia: corrected syntax error
• 16:5316:53, 6 May 2024 diff hist −1,091 Nuclear electromagnetic pulse →Super-EMP: Removed section because the material was not related to nuclear EMP but to nuclear weapon delivery systems in general, without explanation for specific N-EMP relevance of those systems, and because a major claim was incorrect. The source given does not support the claim made; the original author may have misread or misinterpreted page 10 of the source, which states that interception (not deterrence) was made nearly impossible by hypersonic delivery systems. Improved readability

• 00:1100:11, 5 April 2024 diff hist −1,084 Polygyny in Islam Removed a passage which was not needed or appropriate in this article/section and did not have adequate sourcing. Removed issue tag as claims remaining appear to have adequate secondary sources.

6 December 2020

• 23:0523:05, 6 December 2020 diff hist +742 N User:Elliptical Reasoning Created page with basic information about myself.
• 22:1522:15, 6 December 2020 diff hist −453 Deluge gun Removed unsourced material which the talk page suggested was unlikely to be correct. Removed the "technical" maintenance template, as it appears the template does not belong; the section marked gives clear definitions and simple measurements in common units for its terms, and could be readily understood by any reasonable reader.

3 December 2020

• 01:5301:53, 3 December 2020 diff hist −217 List of words having different meanings in American and British English (M–Z) Removed "plug" from the list. The one meaning which was listed as not common to both dialects (that is, "Device for preventing water from running out of a washbasin or bathtub"), is to the best of my knowledge common in both American and British English. I realize this could be considered original research, but since the claim as it stands presents no sources I feel it reasonable to remove the incorrect information.

16 January 2020

• 16:2016:20, 16 January 2020 diff hist +14 Rutherglen Glencairn F.C. Updated source info to a current reference. This was done because another user updated the information attributed to that source such that the source did not actually match the info it was citing.
