- 17:2217:22, 17 March 2022 diff hist −98 m Medieval cuisine Deleted a vague and generally inaccurate statement. Plants foods vary in composition, but often contain fiber (no calories) that decrease the calories per unit gram. For fruits and staple plant foods like cereal grains and potatoes, the chief calorie source is carbohydrates at 4 cal/g. Meat is primarily protein (4 cal/g) and fat (9 cal/g), so is not typically lower in calories than most plant foods. Tag: Visual edit

- 12:3812:38, 23 September 2021 diff hist +15 m Dasypus →Description: There's nothing primitive (ancestral) about a shell in mammals. The term 'primitive' often reflects a misunderstanding of phylogeny and early diverging lineages. Tag: Visual edit

- 20:5120:51, 24 August 2021 diff hist −91 Moustached tamarin Deleted a misleading sentences. The "first branch off a tree" often suggests to readers that a lineage is more similar to the ancestral state, or diverged deeper in time than other branches. This is a misunderstanding of phylogenetic trees. See Crisp et al, 2005. Trends in Ecology and Evolution Tag: Visual edit

- 15:0015:00, 30 November 2020 diff hist −1 m Fern It is unlikely, or at least unknown, whether fern abundance is greatest in the tropics and no citation for such a statement was given. Species diversity however is known to increase in tropics, as reflected in edit. Tag: Visual edit

- 15:4515:45, 9 July 2020 diff hist −201 Pacific bluefin tuna Claims of extraordinary speed require support from current scientific literature. Unreliable reports are abundant in popular literature Tag: Visual edit
