• 22:1722:17, 12 November 2013 diff hist 0 Bob Marley →Early life and career: ref formatting - not a fan of the Chicago citation format - don't see any point in italics in refs and having the author first (I prefer article title - newspaper - date - author) but feel free to change ref to Chicago format
• 22:0522:05, 12 November 2013 diff hist +303 Bob Marley moved Leslie Kong recordings (1962) to Early Years and changed title form 1963-1972 to 1962-1972 - Reason: Higgs article gives 1959 as the year that Marley started to work with him (New York Times ref)

• 18:2518:25, 12 November 2013 diff hist +7 John Coltrane Undid revision 581352399 by TheOldJacobite (talk) - I did on your Talk Page - you are just being facetious and want an edit war - I'll ask admin to come and have a look at this issue
• 16:3916:39, 12 November 2013 diff hist +8 m Bob Marley →Early life and career: just a minor change - I'm not entirely happy with the sentence on Higgs and may rewrite later but it will suffice for now - it was previously open ended as to what Higgs imparted to Marley - at least now it has details
• 16:2416:24, 12 November 2013 diff hist +7 John Coltrane Undid revision 581341729 by TheOldJacobite - see post on your Talk Page - the burden of proof falls on you - scholars agree the works are ascribed to Aristotle - do not revert until you have won a Nobel prize for proving a 1,000 years of scholarship wrong

• 15:5415:54, 12 November 2013 diff hist +538 Bob Marley →Early life and career: adding details - Chuck Foster ref (author of Roots Rock Reggae) - teaching Marley guitar is probably of more importance than the vocal training - great song with a bad singer can still be a hit but the reverse is rarely true
• 15:1815:18, 12 November 2013 diff hist +7 John Coltrane Undid revision 581283451 by TheOldJacobite (talk) - pack it in causing trouble - the sentence makes perfect sense and you also changed "African" back to "black"
• 01:2901:29, 12 November 2013 diff hist +2 John Coltrane "historical black saints" to "historical African saints" - see Bob Marley Talk Page: "Do not use the word black" and Broonzy Talk Page for transposed sentences on Shankar using "brown" to show how the terms fall apart (or fail in use) under scrutiny
• 01:0501:05, 12 November 2013 diff hist +5 John Coltrane →Personal life and religious beliefs: changed: "the philosophical teachings of Plato and Aristotle" to "the philosophical works ascribed to Plato and Aristotle" - the works are ascribed - papyrus fragments confirm some - most are medieval copies

• 23:1123:11, 11 November 2013 diff hist +24 National Congress for the Defence of the People →History: restored the term "brassage" - see Talk Page (this term was used exclusively in relation to integration of the rebels into the main army - I've left a link on the Talk Page to a King's College paper on the term/concept)
• 23:0423:04, 11 November 2013 diff hist +723 Talk:National Congress for the Defence of the People →Rewrite this line, please: evidently there is a term "brassage" but it its exclusive in definition to this article and its details - see link in this post
• 22:4922:49, 11 November 2013 diff hist −10 National Congress for the Defence of the People changed: "Nkunda was arrested by his ostensible backers, Rwanda" to "Nkunda was arrested by the Rwanda government" - ostensible means "Represented or appearing as such" - either they did or did not back him - no ref so changed

• 22:3722:37, 11 November 2013 diff hist −24 National Congress for the Defence of the People removed: but is not ''brassage'' - an editor left a comment on the talk page saying this didn't make sense - checked online for a definition and I agree so removed
• 22:2622:26, 11 November 2013 diff hist +4 March 23 Movement →Late 2012 offensive: changed: "leaders of 11 African nations" to "leaders of eleven African nations" - there are many numerals in this article so its best to follow the Chicago MoS guidelines on spelling numerals below one hundred - its not a Maths

• 21:2221:22, 11 November 2013 diff hist +40 Bangladesh Rifles revolt I had a look at the opening sentence of the Paris Commune article and it opens with "The Paris Commune or Fourth French Revolution..." - so rewrote opening sentence with bold font: "The Bangladesh Rifles revolt was a...." -
• 21:0221:02, 11 November 2013 diff hist −8 Bangladesh Rifles revolt →Trials and sentencing: changed: "and sentenced to various terms of imprisonment varying from four months to" to "and sentenced to terms of imprisonment ranging from four months to" - Reason: the sentence is not wrong - varying and various not needed
• 20:5020:50, 11 November 2013 diff hist +14 Bangladesh Rifles revolt →Trials and sentencing: changed: "Around 6000 soldiers were convicted by military courts to various terms of imprisonment" to "Around 6000 soldiers were convicted by military courts and sentenced to various terms of imprisonment"
• 20:3120:31, 11 November 2013 diff hist +8 Bangladesh Rifles revolt changed image caption from "armed forces and common people waiting anxiously nearby" to "armed forces and members of the public waiting anxiously nearby" - Reason: common people is suggestive of status - who are the uncommon people?

• 23:4223:42, 10 November 2013 diff hist −181 Henry Morton Stanley →Further reading: removed: Several medical schools in the USA (e.g. Johns Hopkins, UW Madison) have these volumes still in the stack and readers can read for themselves the accounts of this famous expedition. - Reason: informal
