• 10:3710:37, 8 May 2018 diff hist +27 Marin County, California →Education: slight addition and correction to the sentence for better flow ~~~~
• 10:3110:31, 8 May 2018 diff hist +62 Marin County, California →Overview: Okay, it's pov but so was the original statement. And this is actually what happened. People involved in farming, manufacturing (yes, Marin had LOTS of manufacturing), and other less lucrative careers were pushed aside by finance and insurance. This was also a factor. Around 1980 the Pacific Sun found that over 50% of current residents had lived in Marin fewer than five years. Big change in population ~~~~
• 10:1310:13, 8 May 2018 diff hist −470 Marin County, California removed that because it was misleading and unimportant. There was ALWAYS a jail in the civic center, from the beginning. The expansion was created underground to AVOID CHANGING the structure. As such, unless you are imprisoned there, you wouldn't even know it exists ~~~~ Tag: references removed
• 10:0110:01, 8 May 2018 diff hist −25 Tomales Bay →Marconi Conference Center: unnecessary link to common English word ~~~~
• 10:0010:00, 8 May 2018 diff hist −13 Tomales Bay →Marconi Conference Center: a) we know what radio is b) it wasn't just a "receiver", it transmitted as well. In fact, it was more a transmitter, as any radio set can receive ~~~~
• 09:5709:57, 8 May 2018 diff hist 0 Tomales Bay Oyster Company grammar. What is this, the third grade ? jeeze ~~~~

7 May 2018

• 06:1606:16, 7 May 2018 diff hist −5 Sitka, Alaska →In popular culture: there are no "Sitka Islands". It's the Baranoffs (sp ?). So I don't know if the citation is factual or not but at least can correct a mislabelled location ~~~~
• 06:1306:13, 7 May 2018 diff hist −2 Sitka, Alaska →In popular culture: better word. Crush pomposity !! :-) ~~~~
• 06:1006:10, 7 May 2018 diff hist +2 Sitka, Alaska →Territorial Alaska: the idiom is generally control, not power. Perhaps that's because a human cannot "power" a territory, but they can control it (more or less. Politically and as far as other humans go, at any rate.) ~~~~
• 06:0506:05, 7 May 2018 diff hist −3 Sitka, Alaska →Russian America: obviously they did NOT call it "redoubt" anything. Look at the word. "Fort", as plain as the nose on your face, even in Russian. No need to be pompous ~~~~

• 11:3911:39, 6 May 2018 diff hist −2 Tugboat →Ballet: grammar ~~~~
• 08:2508:25, 6 May 2018 diff hist −216 Sand Point, Alaska →Transportation: complaining about prices is not the place for wikipedia. Additionally, even if the claims are correct and wikipedia were the place for it, the figures substantiating the process would need to be documented. Also, if Sand Point doesn't have roads, then why do people rent cars ? to sit in and make vrooom vroom noises ?~~~~
• 07:3907:39, 6 May 2018 diff hist −11 Orca attacks →1970s: A "solid-hull dinghy" ? What, it was a dugout canoe ? Or a pointy floating log ? puh-lease let's stick with real-world (r) words, if at all possible ~~~
• 07:3407:34, 6 May 2018 diff hist −4 Taku Harbor sheesh ~~~~
• 04:4504:45, 6 May 2018 diff hist −171 Ketchikan Harbor Seaplane Base →External links: I removed this link as it redirected to some Microsoft spam. Not sure if this is a local issue or what, but tried three times from separate ip's and locations, got the same result. If it's on my end, please revert. But I don' think it is .... ~~~~
• 02:1702:17, 6 May 2018 diff hist −23 Satellite Internet access →Two-way satellite-only communication: it's the world's reserve currency. I think we know what the dollar is. this overlinkage is getting ridiculous ~~~~

• 12:4712:47, 3 May 2018 diff hist +113 Talk:Darth Vader →Who is this Matthew Bortolin idiot ?: forgot the tildes
• 12:4612:46, 3 May 2018 diff hist +415 Talk:Darth Vader →Who is this Matthew Bortolin idiot ?: new section
• 11:5711:57, 3 May 2018 diff hist −30 Edmund Kemper →Release and time between murders: California doesn't have state troopers. The CHP fulfils that role. I don't know what agency he appllied to and it's nowhere easily accessible but "state trooper" is not correct ~~~~
• 11:1511:15, 3 May 2018 diff hist −4 Edmund Kemper →Release and time between murders: common English word, overlinkage removed ~~~~
• 11:1411:14, 3 May 2018 diff hist −35 Edmund Kemper →First murders: Does it improve the article to know it was a 22 or does it just add words ? Would it have been different if he'd use a 30-06 ? What color were his socks that day ? Details that help an image are useful. Meaningless words just get in the way (Ernest Hemingeway said that.) ~~~~
• 11:0011:00, 3 May 2018 diff hist −1,043 Edmund Kemper →Imprisonment: I removed that section because it wasn't honest. Even according to that text, Kemper did *nothing* except make a very black joke. If the other person "felt threatened" then it was the other person's problem, not Kemper. Maybe I "feel threatened" by Tinkerbelle, but that doesn't make Tink threatening, if you catch my meaning ~~~~
• 06:1706:17, 3 May 2018 diff hist +30 Marin County Civic Center attacks →Events of August 7, 1970: improved accuracy of the wording ~~~~
• 06:0606:06, 3 May 2018 diff hist −4 Marin County Civic Center attacks →Shootings on January 13, 1970: grammar ~~~~

• 10:1310:13, 2 May 2018 diff hist −2 A Perfect World →Plot: "molest" has a different meaning these days. It was evident that the Bad Guy intended to hurt, kill, damage, or otherwise harm Phillip but 'molest' was not even hinted at ~~~~
• 10:1010:10, 2 May 2018 diff hist −5 A Perfect World slight text improvement ~~~~
• 10:0910:09, 2 May 2018 diff hist −1 A Perfect World grammar and punctuation ~~~~
• 05:3005:30, 2 May 2018 diff hist −705 Joe Gibbs Racing →Car No. 20 history: I'm sure that another driver spilled their Pepsi in their lap or [i]they[/i] would have won but according to the rules, Stewart did. So it's not "controversial." No need for excess b.s. in these things ~~~~ Tag: references removed
• 05:2105:21, 2 May 2018 diff hist +2 Joe Gibbs Racing The team, Joe Gibbs Racing, is a 'which' and the subject of the sentence. Joe is a 'who' and he [i]never[/i] started racing, since as far as I know he doesn't drive. Grammar ~~~~

• 01:3901:39, 1 May 2018 diff hist −34 Inside Passage →Alaska portion: clearity of language improvement, sigh. Ernest Hemingway, three words is better than fifty. ~~~~
• 01:3701:37, 1 May 2018 diff hist −223 Inside Passage NO ! Who writes this wrong stuff ? It is NEVER referred to as the inland passage, except INCORRECTLY. The northwest passage / inland passage is a different kettle of fish entirely !! ~~~~
• 01:3501:35, 1 May 2018 diff hist −68 Inside Passage corrected computer glitch ~~~~
• 01:3501:35, 1 May 2018 diff hist +65 Inside Passage They are NOT "ocean-going." That's the point of the word "inside". Replaced with ships and boats to cover large and small, that should cover everything from canoes to tankers ~~~~

• 13:4713:47, 30 April 2018 diff hist −18 Jeffrey Dahmer →Adolescence and high school: he's a US serial killer, we should use US terminology maybe ? Altho this statement is silly, no one in high school would be concerned about this behavior ~~~~

• 11:1511:15, 30 April 2018 diff hist +1 Westley Allan Dodd →In popular culture: spelling ~~~~
• 11:0411:04, 30 April 2018 diff hist −33 Gerald and Charlene Gallego →Capture and trial: sentence cleanup, better construction, more accurate verbs etc ~~~~
• 11:0011:00, 30 April 2018 diff hist −4 Gerald and Charlene Gallego →Gerald Armond Gallego: we probably know what robbery is ~~~~
• 10:5310:53, 30 April 2018 diff hist −11 David Parker Ray →Investigation: pretty sure he didn't need date-rape drugs after she was tied up and locked in a trailer. Date-rape would be *before* the tie-up process ~~~~
• 10:5010:50, 30 April 2018 diff hist −11 David Parker Ray →Investigation: don't need hipster slang in an encyclopedia. It's enough to say the beer was drugged ~~~~

29 April 2018

• 12:5512:55, 29 April 2018 diff hist −25 China Camp State Park →Chinese settlement: actually, the new regulations were because the existing practices had decimated the shrimp. The Bay shrimp which USED to be so plentiful have never really returned. But that doesn't fit the Poor Me narrative so I'll restrict the edit to facts. ~~~~
• 12:5012:50, 29 April 2018 diff hist −9 China Camp State Park →Pre-Chinese settlement: removed redundancy - 'hunting game' is like 'fishing fish' and we all know what oaks are. ~~~~
• 12:3912:39, 29 April 2018 diff hist −6 Wayfarer (dinghy) grammar and punctuation ~~~~
• 04:0804:08, 29 April 2018 diff hist +667 Talk:Detroit Diesel Series 92 No edit summary
• 04:0104:01, 29 April 2018 diff hist −84 Detroit Diesel Series 92 →External links: I removed the "fire truck" link because it was shot at night from half a mile away and showed almost nothing of the truck or the engine, which is what this article is supposed to be about. Was not a useful addition to the article ~~~~
