5 December 2024
- 15:1115:11, 5 December 2024 diff hist −2 m Old Man of the Sea →References in poetry: Tweaked language. "Poetry of poet" is a bit awkward. current
23 November 2024
- 06:4606:46, 23 November 2024 diff hist +17 m De Havilland Firestreak Tweaked language. current
11 November 2024
- 22:5222:52, 11 November 2024 diff hist +15 m ASRAAM →See also: Added relevant wikilink; SRAAM was source of ASRAAM - not sure how best to address the point.
12 October 2024
- 00:2300:23, 12 October 2024 diff hist +8 m Chagos Archipelago →20th century: Tweaked; the article for the US naval construction battalions says "better known as Seabees", but that doesn't mean a lot when you've never heard either term - which is most people. Hence: full name as primary, nickname in brackets.
11 September 2024
- 01:3101:31, 11 September 2024 diff hist +204 m Dalit Tweaks.
- 01:2401:24, 11 September 2024 diff hist −22 m Dalit Slight improvement to language; not sure what "reservations under positive discrimination" means in this context.
2 September 2024
- 00:5700:57, 2 September 2024 diff hist −62 m Airport crash tender →Description: Tweaked language. Hopefully I've got it right. current
1 September 2024
- 00:0600:06, 1 September 2024 diff hist +114 m Come and take it Tweaked to make better sense.
28 August 2024
- 23:5023:50, 28 August 2024 diff hist −7 m Prescription charges →Ireland: Shorter is generally better. current
- 23:4823:48, 28 August 2024 diff hist +16 m Prescription charges Correction.
- 01:1101:11, 28 August 2024 diff hist +11 m Erythromycin →Economics: Tweaked
25 August 2024
- 23:0023:00, 25 August 2024 diff hist +2 m Erythromycin →Economics: Tweak.
- 22:5622:56, 25 August 2024 diff hist +3 m 51st state Weird formatting not-exactly-vandalism reverted. Undid revision 1242207899 by 1.172.49.189 (talk) Tag: Undo
- 22:5222:52, 25 August 2024 diff hist +902 m Erythromycin →Society and culture: Added price in the UK.
- 22:4422:44, 25 August 2024 diff hist +412 m Prescription charges →History: Added reference.
- 22:3322:33, 25 August 2024 diff hist +7 m Prescription charges Correction; previous short description seems to have been based on a US-centric misunderstanding of the nature of NHS prescription charges.
22 August 2024
- 23:0923:09, 22 August 2024 diff hist −85 m Gabardine Removed a line that seems nothing more than advertising; Thomas Burberry invented the fabric for his outdoor clothing shop long before there was a "Burberry fashion house", luxury or otherwise.
21 August 2024
- 01:2701:27, 21 August 2024 diff hist −52 m Vespa Tweaked (mostly) to include the parenthesised information in the main text body. Hopefully this reads more easily and I've not changed the meaning.
20 August 2024
- 21:5721:57, 20 August 2024 diff hist +24 m 51st state →See also: A perhaps trivial addition to "See also" list.
- 21:5521:55, 20 August 2024 diff hist −13 m 51st state Re-worded in an attempt to make the lede easier to read; the previous version could be mistaken to mean that adding Hawaii increased the number of states to 51.
- 03:1203:12, 20 August 2024 diff hist +1,483 Come and take it Restored incorrectly removed information.
20 July 2024
- 21:2521:25, 20 July 2024 diff hist −7 Vespa Removed adjective unjustified by the cited source for the paragraph.

- 06:5406:54, 19 July 2024 diff hist +972 m Talk:Margaret Hamilton (software engineer) →Caption for the image with stack of listings - yet again: Replied.
- 06:4906:49, 19 July 2024 diff hist −215 m User:Michael F 1967/common.css Removed - seems to be causing problems. current Tag: Blanking
18 July 2024
- 11:2911:29, 18 July 2024 diff hist +2 m Margaret Hamilton (software engineer) →MIT Instrumentation Laboratory and the Apollo Guidance Computer: Small correction. Apparently there's something wrong with my use of the cite book template, but I can't figure it out. Tag: Reverted
- 11:2411:24, 18 July 2024 diff hist +112 User:Michael F 1967/common.css Ditto
- 11:2311:23, 18 July 2024 diff hist +103 N User:Michael F 1967/common.css https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:CS1_errors#Error_and_maintenance_messages
- 11:1911:19, 18 July 2024 diff hist +11 m Margaret Hamilton (software engineer) →MIT Instrumentation Laboratory and the Apollo Guidance Computer: Fixed silly mistake. Tag: Reverted
- 07:1307:13, 18 July 2024 diff hist +8 m Talk:Margaret Hamilton (software engineer) →Picture caption: Meh.
- 07:1207:12, 18 July 2024 diff hist +99 m Talk:Margaret Hamilton (software engineer) →Picture caption: Added a bit.
- 07:0607:06, 18 July 2024 diff hist +507 Talk:Margaret Hamilton (software engineer) →Picture caption: new section Tag: New topic
- 07:0307:03, 18 July 2024 diff hist +493 m Margaret Hamilton (software engineer) →MIT Instrumentation Laboratory and the Apollo Guidance Computer: Correction, with source. Reality check: the AGC had about 36K 15 bit words of ROM. The data on that pile of paper simply couldn't fit in the AGC's store. Tag: Reverted
27 June 2024
- 23:0623:06, 27 June 2024 diff hist 0 m Radial tire →History: Tweaked; "gas mileage" is only meaningful in US English, while "fuel economy" is meaningful in any dialect of English.
26 June 2024
- 22:0022:00, 26 June 2024 diff hist +225 m Dornford Yates →Writings: Improved neutrality of language; added some wikilinks, perhaps too many.
27 May 2024
- 23:1223:12, 27 May 2024 diff hist −187 m Dreadnoughtus →Discovery and study: Removed photo: it's a portrait of Lacovara without any real view of the Dreadnoughtus femur, so inappropriate for this page.
13 May 2024
- 00:4400:44, 13 May 2024 diff hist +107 m Safety valve →"Pop" valves: Small tweaks etc.
21 April 2024
- 19:3119:31, 21 April 2024 diff hist +113 m Skenfrith →History and amenities: Re-wrote in line with Three Castles page (etc); I maybe should have copied the references from those source pages. Previous text cited no references and got it a bit wrong. E.g., 1066 when the castle was built was the very start of the decades-long Norman invasion of Wales.
15 April 2024
- 04:5104:51, 15 April 2024 diff hist −1 m Satellite navigation Fixed spacing (also, sorry: India too, wrt my previous edit)
- 04:5004:50, 15 April 2024 diff hist −14 m Satellite navigation Tweaked for consistency; point being that the US, Russia, and China all used various agencies to implement their satnav systems, so the EU should be named rather than the agency responsible for its technical implementation.
- 04:4404:44, 15 April 2024 diff hist +60 m HESA Shahed 136 →Geran-2: Tweaked; editorial judgement by this native English speaker is of the opinion that "GNSS" is not widely understood in the general English speaking population.
- 04:3804:38, 15 April 2024 diff hist −49 m Stephen Moore (actor) →Acting career: Better wikilink - seriously, why link to the TV version in this context?
- 02:5202:52, 15 April 2024 diff hist +14 m Vickers machine gun →Colt–Vickers M1915: Tweaked caption.
14 April 2024
- 03:5803:58, 14 April 2024 diff hist +851 HESA Shahed 136 →Ukrainian counter efforts: Tweaked in line with cited sources.
- 03:3603:36, 14 April 2024 diff hist +768 m HESA Shahed 136 →Ukrainian counter efforts: Added citation backing up claims (more edits to come).
- 03:2803:28, 14 April 2024 diff hist +207 m HESA Shahed 136 →Ukrainian counter efforts: Linked to archived version of source.
12 April 2024
- 05:3505:35, 12 April 2024 diff hist +1 Nelson River DC Transmission System →System components: Corrections: thyristors and valves are different types of technology. Thyristors are solid-state; by definition, not valves. Tag: Disambiguation links added
5 April 2024
- 00:2400:24, 5 April 2024 diff hist +108 m Talk:Come and take it →Thermopylae reference: Added a new starting point.
