08:5208:52, 6 November 2014 diff hist −7‎ Billy Graham ‎ "White" as a descriptor for Americans in 1949 is redundant, as almost 90% of the population was white at that time. Including the term here inserts racial identity politics into Graham's 1949 theology - this is not supported by contemporary texts.

09:2809:28, 31 July 2014 diff hist −2‎ Atlantic goliath grouper ‎ Undid revision 619264843 by 130.231.116.205 (talk)
09:2509:25, 31 July 2014 diff hist +2‎ Atlantic goliath grouper ‎ Undid revision 619158657 by Ronz (talk) The fish is not known as the "happyfish". "Jewfish" is its universal name.

09:0509:05, 11 January 2013 diff hist +8‎ Becherovka ‎ Changed the name of Becher's apothecary to the correct contemporary German. ~~~~ <ref></ref>

10:5710:57, 21 September 2012 diff hist +6‎ Pine Tree Flag ‎ Undid revision 513853893 by 130.231.116.205 (talk)
10:5510:55, 21 September 2012 diff hist −6‎ Pine Tree Flag ‎ The phrase "an appeal to heaven" is used exactly once in the "Two Treatises on Government". Corrected the false information. ~~~~

11:4311:43, 13 September 2012 diff hist +1‎ Fountain of Youth ‎ Changed "cure his impotence". There is nothing in the cited text that makes any reference to impotence; the text reads "y estonges se divulgó aquella fábula de la fuente que hagia rejovenesger ó tornar mangebos los hombres viejos". ~~~~

12:5312:53, 28 August 2012 diff hist −242‎ Linguistic purism ‎ Removed bibliographical reference to Zuckerman, who is not mentioned in the body of the text and whose article has nothing to do with linguistic purism. ~~~~

13:3813:38, 25 April 2012 diff hist −2,583‎ Inchoative aspect ‎ Zuckerman's remarks on Yiddish and Hebrew have little to do with inchoativity as a grammatical category. His attempt to include references to himself into virtually every wikipedia article on linguistics is inherently objectionable. ~~~~ Tag: section blanking

10:1310:13, 6 February 2012 diff hist +37‎ History of immigration to the United States ‎ →‎"Whiteness": Corrected the false claim that ideas about race depended not on skin color but on "social demarcations" in the late 19th century and early 20th century. ~~~~

11:1611:16, 18 November 2011 diff hist +507‎ Singular they ‎ The examples for epicene he are all fairly recent, I thought it would be good to provide an older example as well. As Caxton is cited for epicene they, I chose one of his works. As suspected, there are far more epicene he usages than epicene they....

13:2813:28, 10 November 2011 diff hist +4‎ Cameroon ‎ Njoya was born in 1887. In order for the scripts to have been invented in the "1800s A.D.", he would have had to invent them at age 12 or younger. Corrected to "20th century".
13:2613:26, 10 November 2011 diff hist +38‎ Cameroon ‎ There is no evidence of any indigenous writing systems in Cameroon prior to the colonial contact. Either a citation is needed, or more likely, this claim should be removed.

12:1512:15, 20 October 2011 diff hist +3‎ Genetic history of Europe ‎ Replaced incorrect German term for late Roman period migrations ("Volkswanderung") with the correct German term ("Völkerwanderung"). ~~~~

09:5609:56, 18 October 2011 diff hist −56‎ Al-Shabaab (militant group) ‎ Removed the false claim that the transliteration of الشباب as "al-Shabaab" is "grammatically incorrect". It is standard, accepted transliteration. The sandhi that governs the phonetic realization of the word is another process entirely.

06:3906:39, 5 May 2011 diff hist +255‎ N File talk:PerceptualMap1.png ‎ ←Created page with '"Nissan" is misspelled. The graph would be visually more applealing if there were simple points instead of surrealistic blue explosions. ~~~~' current
