- Battle of HalenEdited 8/12/2024, 6:16:37 AM
/* 12 August: morning */ corrected 'sited' to 'sighted', as the rest of the sentence makes clear it refers to the fire being on target.
- Fu HaoEdited 5/23/2024, 2:15:40 PM
Corrected "bone oracles" to "oracle bones", the usual name, and added a wiki-link to the Wikipedia article on that subject.
- Alexander Tatarenko (general)Edited 3/28/2024, 6:43:42 AM
Removed "fasely claimed" (sic) and noted that death has not been confirmed independently.
- Numidian cavalryEdited 2/5/2024, 7:11:35 AM
Removed bogus quote "they were described by the Roman historian [[Livy]] as "by far the best horsemen in [[Africa (Roman province)|Africa]]."<ref>Livy, ''[[Ab Urbe Condita Libri (Livy)|Ab Urbe Condita]]'' 29.35.8.</ref>" - nothing of the sort occurs in the text. Book 29, chapter 35 doesn't even MENTION Numidian cavalry, nor does it give ANY appraisal of any troops.
- L. W. WrightEdited 1/29/2024, 7:23:15 AM
/* Early life */ Removed bizarre claim "during the prohibition era", which ended decades before his birth. As I suspected, nothing of the sort was in the source given as a reference, simply that he supposedly ran moonshine at age 17, which would mean the mid 1960s.
- Van Buren raidEdited 12/28/2023, 11:17:09 AM
Fixed incorrect plural: "brigadier generals" to "brigadiers general".
- Olbers' paradoxEdited 11/15/2023, 6:36:02 AM
added missing word "stars" to sentence "as more distant [stars] are revealed"
- List of Spirou et Fantasio charactersEdited 8/31/2023, 5:26:31 AM
/* Duplumier */ corrected idiomatic phrase literally translated from Dutch and, as a result, unintelligible to English-speakers.
- GoesEdited 8/23/2023, 6:40:03 AM
Updated number of inhabitants to reflect most recent (2022) official figure (29,226).
- NobilityEdited 8/5/2023, 11:33:57 AM
/* History */Removed Netherlands from example: last remaining privileges were abolished with the adoption of the 1848 constitution.
- German Corpse FactoryEdited 7/17/2023, 6:20:11 AM
/* The Corpse factory */ corrected misspelling of the city of Leiden.
- Band (rock and pop)Edited 7/12/2023, 1:42:29 PM
/* Four members */See previous edit: removed misleading mention of Queen.
- Band (rock and pop)Edited 7/12/2023, 1:40:38 PM
Removed Queen from list of bands with a vocalist who doesn't play an instrument and are functionally trios of guitar, bass and drums. Queen's Freddie Mercury is credited with playing piano/keyboard on every Queen album and live registration released that features him. Piano, electric piano and keyboards are prominent in many of not most of Queen's most well-known songs.
- Fingerstyle guitarEdited 6/20/2023, 5:30:02 AM
/* Clawhammer and frailing */ removed wiki-link to Alec Stone Sweet - it directed the reader to an article about an apparently unrelated jurist.
- Fingerstyle guitarEdited 6/20/2023, 5:24:39 AM
/* Advantages and disadvantages */ removed bizarre editorializing that made the claim that alternate picking with the fingers is incredibly hard, which is nonsense. It sourced the claim to a GeoCities(!) page that contained some fingerstyle tablature, but not the claim made here.
- Stone (unit)Edited 6/2/2023, 3:25:31 PM
/* Metric stone */Removed question mark from the middle of a sentence.
- A Jewish WeddingEdited 2/25/2023, 12:03:07 PM
See talk page: a well-sourced statement by the artist himself denies that the painting portrays his daughter or anyone in particular.
- May 8Edited 2/5/2023, 10:56:50 AM
/* 1901–present */ added John Archer (actor), per his Wikipedia-article as linked, source provided.
- Max WennerEdited 1/15/2023, 11:25:53 AM
/* Aftermath */Added "though incorrectly" because Pesch =/= Pech.
- Werewolf witch trialsEdited 1/8/2023, 3:25:35 PM
/* The Netherlands */Translated inexplicable Swedish 'och' (Dutch: en) that was not part of a quote or paraphrase into English 'and'.
- Louis VIII of FranceEdited 1/7/2023, 12:47:25 PM
/* Policy on Jews */Removed duplicate "only" that was grammatically incorrect and rendered the statement ambiguous to boot.
- Mykhailo HavryliukEdited 1/2/2023, 10:44:07 AM
/* The Euromaidan */Typo: november 2014 -> november 2013
- Battle of Verona (249)Edited 11/24/2022, 6:28:30 AM

- Libby PrisonEdited 11/15/2022, 6:49:36 AM
/* History */ "only second in notoriety" -> "second only in notoriety"
- Sterling PriceEdited 10/25/2022, 5:49:28 AM
/* Immigration to Mexico */ corrected "immigration" -> "emigration" in line with the text of the paragraph.

- Twenty-five cent coin (Netherlands)Edited 8/30/2022, 6:57:00 PM
Corrected denomination that was incorrect: 25 cents, not 1 cent.
- George MouzalonEdited 8/25/2022, 5:34:54 AM

- Betty (film)Edited 3/17/2022, 6:18:31 AM
minor correction - replaced inappropriate use of "homonymous" with "of the same title".
- Columbus's letter on the first voyageEdited 2/15/2022, 6:24:52 AM
Removed link in lede to Gabriel Sanchez - a letter written to a Mr. Sanchez in 1493 cannot be referring to a US circuit judge born in 1976.
- Fiona DenisonEdited 1/11/2022, 6:26:39 AM
/* Life and career */ changed "died if COVID-19" to "died of COVID-19"

- Billy the KidEdited 8/28/2021, 9:36:01 AM
/* Recapture and death */ typographical fix - removed incorrect apostrophe. Please note that the quotation DOES NOT APPEAR IN THE REFERENCE CITED!
- Don KoehlerEdited 8/24/2021, 5:43:01 AM
Removed link to Jim Moran (politician), who was born in 1945 and thus cannot possibly be the same Jim Moran referred to in this article.
- Gunslinger's RevengeEdited 8/18/2021, 10:38:36 AM
minor grammar fix - hears to hear (because the antecedent is plural).
- TarotEdited 8/13/2021, 9:43:13 AM
Added "at least" because we have no definite evidence for the date of introduction, simply a first mention of an (at the time) known game in 1440.
- XI Corps (Union army)Edited 8/10/2021, 10:47:57 AM
/* Battle of Chancellorsville */ Corrected misspelled name, which therefore resulted in a red link.

/* Etymology */ added statement that 'salon' and 'saloon' are diminutive forms

Brought date of birth and death in the lede in line with the infobox.
- Peter of BruysEdited 4/2/2021, 12:21:32 PM
Fixed misinterpretation: 1117 cannot have been his date of birth, it is the date he first appears in a source. If it were his year of birth, he would've been a heretical *priest* who was murdered at 14 after having been active for years. Editors need to use more common sense than this!
- Four BeautiesEdited 3/28/2021, 11:55:41 AM
/* The Four Beauties of China */ changed two instances of 'photo' to 'portrait' - I know the ancient Chinese were an advanced civilization, but they did not have photography in the 1st century BC
- SecutorEdited 3/28/2021, 11:20:12 AM
/* Famous Secutores */ changed inappropriate exclamation mark to full stop.

/* State funeral */ link 31 is dead. Changed it to a waybackmachine link.
- Cowra breakoutEdited 2/19/2021, 1:02:09 PM
/* Aftermath */ removed "citation needed" tag - the source of the statement is clearly provided right before the list.
- SynanonEdited 2/19/2021, 11:48:49 AM
/* Beginnings */ removed bizarre remark about 1978 recording of a song that is entirely irrelevant to the topic and does not fit in with the sentence to which it was added at all.
- Effects of the April 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruptionEdited 2/17/2021, 10:42:36 AM
/* Sounds */ Changed 'sounds' to music - all content is directly and explicitly musical, so the term 'sounds' is plain weird.
- Decimal DayEdited 1/26/2021, 9:51:37 AM
/* After Decimal Day */ two slang terms were given, only one was explained, giving the false impression that they both referred to the same (shilling) - corrected this.
- Taxi 2Edited 1/22/2021, 6:42:40 AM
/* Cameraman death */ later statement on reduction of sentence makes it clear that 'month' should read 'year' in this instance.
- Ashli BabbittEdited 1/7/2021, 6:10:35 AM
Added that she was involved in an act of insurrection when she was shot.

Added lexicographically closely related Latin 'anima' to explanation about Greek 'psyche'
- József SzájerEdited 12/1/2020, 3:48:34 PM
Removed the word 'private' - it is not mentioned nor even alluded to in the reference cited, and has no relevance.
- Star Wars: The Interactive Video Board GameEdited 11/29/2020, 10:42:54 AM
/* Gameplay */ changed the uncommon singular 'die' to 'dice' for clarity and accuracy.
