- Traditional Breton musicCreated 6/1/2025, 12:55:37 PM
redir, to go along with [[Traditional Irish music]], etc.
- Star-spangled BannerCreated 5/30/2025, 2:47:50 PM
capitalization styles after a hyphen in titles vary
- BarrymoresCreated 5/30/2025, 2:31:35 PM
They're more often referred to as the Barrymores than any other way.
- Tara RecordsCreated 5/29/2025, 8:45:26 AM
How was this missing? This label is best known by this name and has only been using "Tara Music" for a few years.
- Oxford, Cambridge, and RSA ExaminationsCreated 5/28/2025, 1:21:54 PM
this redir needs to exist for any article in which the serial comma is the established style (which is more and more of them all the time).

"XIX century" isn't a style used in English any longer (still often in French, Spanish, etc.)
- AmazonsEdited 4/22/2026, 3:17:14 PM
misc. cleanup, mostly of citations (needs more, especially missing authors). One citation is fake or at best mis-placed, and flagged with {{failed verification}}. Identifying the [[MOS:ENGVAR]] in use (American), and imposing a consistent date format per [[MOS:DATE]].
- The Charlotte MuseumEdited 4/22/2026, 1:56:00 PM
misc. cleanup, mostly to remove redundant wording that's unnatural in English, add links to key terms, and comply with [[MOS:CAPS]].
- Dorak affairEdited 4/22/2026, 12:42:49 PM
/* Events */ grammar ("consent to publish" would also work)
- ÇatalhöyükEdited 4/22/2026, 12:36:37 PM
/* Culture */ rm. redundant word; use parallel grammatical construction
- ColumbaEdited 4/22/2026, 10:54:06 AM
/* Scotland */ minor cleanup; and removal of some weird slight against the McKinnons that looks like drive-by vandalism
- Kingdom of ScotlandEdited 4/22/2026, 10:46:45 AM
/* Expansion: 943–1513 */ Let's make that sentence make some kind of sense.
- Social DarwinismEdited 4/22/2026, 4:23:07 AM
/* Young Turks */ This is not excessive citation in this context at all, given the amount of rampant denialism of the Armenian genocide by the Turks. However, that "stack" of citations could be combined into a single one with any of several multi-source citation templates, or just by manually crafting one (e.g. "<ref>Some sources on this include:<br /> ... </ref>").
- Philip J. CohenEdited 4/11/2026, 10:49:05 PM
/* Serbia's Secret War: Propaganda and the Deceit of History */ semantic markup, [[MOS:CONTRACTION]], other minor tweaks
- Heraldic tinctureEdited 4/11/2026, 10:40:48 PM
rcat ("heraldic tincture" is a long name compared to "tincture" without a parenthetic disambiguator)
- KurganEdited 3/19/2026, 6:37:30 AM
various cleanup; needs more citation cleanup for complete and consistent citations, and in many cases better citations
- InflectionEdited 2/19/2026, 5:31:53 PM
Various forms of cleanup. The pool of regular editors of pages like this probably don't need me to spell out a litany of shortcuts explaining them. And made lead make more sense (sane sentence order, clarifications). Also removed a "Dubious" tag that wasn't relevant any longer and had become confusing (Hakka-related sentenced being objected to no longer exists in the article). And added a note contrasting Latin & Chinese with English (this being en.Wikipedia). Rm. contradiction. Cite repair.
- Finnic languagesEdited 2/19/2026, 12:45:09 PM
/* Subgrouping */ agree with infobox (and give reason for "({{extinct}}) = moribund variety" to be below this list at all)
- The Sandman (TV series)Edited 1/28/2026, 8:15:03 PM
[[MOS:POSS]], [[MOS:TITLES]], [[MOS:5LETTER]], [[MOS:INITIALS]], [[MOS:THECAPS]], and other typographic cleanup; cite & date cleanup
- German mediatisationEdited 1/27/2026, 9:54:50 PM
Don't mix British and American English in same article; title of this one and majority of its text are British, so normalise to that. Cite & date cleanup.
- German mediatisationEdited 1/27/2026, 9:44:08 PM
/* Assault on the imperial knights and counts */ rm. extraneous markup
- German mediatisationEdited 1/27/2026, 9:38:34 PM
/* Assault on the imperial knights and counts */ typo
- White Shark (novel)Edited 1/27/2026, 7:53:23 PM
/* Miniseries adaptation */ Here's where link to [[great white shark]] goes, not where it wasn't relevant
- Airport novelEdited 1/27/2026, 7:40:04 PM
/* Format */ Rm. misuse of "similarly" (no comparison is being made here).
- Patrick V, Earl of MarchEdited 1/14/2026, 9:13:04 PM
Patrick IV's marriage(s) and child(ren) are disputed in the sources (see his article for details). Typographic cleanup.
- Patrick IV, Earl of MarchEdited 1/14/2026, 9:11:58 PM
citation overhaul (incl. fixing invalid cite, as W. Anderson source has no "vol. IV" at all); make text agree with sources, which it did not in quite a number of ways; add a few sourceable details; lay out the marriage & offspring dispute clearly; misc. cleanup; NB: a probable/approximate date and a circa date are the same thing, so "probably ... c. 1291" is redundant)
- Causantín, Mormaer of FifeEdited 1/14/2026, 6:17:02 PM
use the floruit template; cite cleanup; [[MOS:INITIALS]], [[MOS:JOBTITLES]], [[MOS:TITLES]], [[MOS:FOREIGN]]; verb tense fix; etc.
- Taste the Blood of DraculaEdited 1/9/2026, 4:11:09 AM
/* Plot */ Concision: there is never a reason, outside a direct quotation, to use "whilst", since "while" is also normal in British and other disalects of English. "Whilst" is simply longwinded for no good reason, and verging on both obsolescent and pretentious.
- Taste the Blood of DraculaEdited 1/9/2026, 4:06:31 AM
/* Certification */ Statements in our articles have to make sense in the future, too, and ratings schemes change over time (that being pretty much the entire point of the clause in question).
- Go Fish (film)Edited 1/9/2026, 4:01:11 AM
cite & date cleanup; [[MOS:QUOTEMARKS]], [[MOS:NICKNAME]]; [[MOS:INITIALS]]
- Go Fish (film)Edited 1/9/2026, 3:58:09 AM
/* Queer identity and community */ fix misspelled name and link
- Go Fish (film)Edited 1/9/2026, 3:57:32 AM
/* Queer Identity and Community */ minor cleanup ([[MOS:HEADINGS]], [[MOS:GENRE]], [[MOS:TITLES]], [[MOS:POSS]], [[MOS:HYPHEN]], grammar, verb tense, links, cite cleanup, redundancy cleanup)
- HIV/AIDS in the United StatesEdited 1/9/2026, 3:53:46 AM
/* Demographics and Health Disparities */ [[MOS:HEADINGS]]
- HIV/AIDS in the United StatesEdited 1/9/2026, 3:53:19 AM
/* Public Health Response in California */ [[MOS:HEADINGS]]
- MumblecoreEdited 1/9/2026, 3:44:53 AM
/* Outside the United States */ More minor cleanup ([[MOS:POSS]], [[MOS:FOREIGN]], grammar, etc.); copyediting for better flow and concision. 2012 didn't "see" anything (years don't have eyes).
- MumblecoreEdited 1/9/2026, 3:39:13 AM
/* History */ misc. formatting cleanup ([[MOS:POSS]], [[MOS:LQ]], [[MOS:5LETTER]], etc.)
- Stranger Than ParadiseEdited 1/9/2026, 3:26:37 AM
/* Background and production */ consistent spelling
- Stranger Than ParadiseEdited 1/9/2026, 3:24:16 AM
/* Plot */ Make that easier to parse for non-native English speakers
- Screamin' Jay HawkinsEdited 1/9/2026, 2:55:03 AM
If after over 2 decades we don't have an article on that alleged genre, then it's obviously not recognized as distinct enough for there ever to be one, or for it to be encyclopedically appropriate to name-drop it.
