• 13:3313:33, 14 July 2022 diff hist −1‎ Melba Phillips ‎ →‎McCarran Commission: Added a link to the Senate ISS: section heading "McCarran Commission" returns no useful search results. Stated the connection to Dr. Phillips instead of including a justification for the ISS's existence.

• 00:5600:56, 14 February 2022 diff hist −79‎ Gigabyte ‎ →‎US lawsuits: Simplified sentence so that it only reports the holding/conclusion of the lawsuit regarding the meaning of GB. It is superfluous to cite was a GB wasn't defined as.
• 00:5400:54, 14 February 2022 diff hist +17‎ Gigabyte ‎ →‎US lawsuits: Plaintiffs did not allege they were confused. They alleged there was a breach of contract and other claims. See the existing citation to US District Court Case 5:18-cv-05420-BLF.

13 February 2022

• 23:2123:21, 13 February 2022 diff hist +88‎ Kilobyte ‎ Line of reasoning in the intro was incomplete. It is not simply that powers of 2 are common in modern computer architecture, but also the accident that 2^10 differs from 10^3 by only 2.4%.
• 23:1523:15, 13 February 2022 diff hist +31‎ Kilobyte ‎ Added specificity to the cite for a kibibyte's definition. ("Clause 4").

6 February 2022

• 21:2521:25, 6 February 2022 diff hist +337‎ D-Link ‎ →‎GPL violation: After the plaintiff wins the lawsuit, and the defendant is ordered to pay court costs, the violation is no longer "alleged", so the word "alleged" has been removed. Added a citation to the English-translated German court judgement to prove the correctness of this wording change. Added mention of the fact that D-Link GmbH paid costs.

• 01:3701:37, 4 February 2020 diff hist −305‎ COVID-19 pandemic ‎ The 100,000 number is derived from speculative calculation and does not derive from any data source, anywhere. Quoting NYT for this number is pointless. Furthermore "probable cases" is a term of art and is incorrect in this case. This number should never have appeared in summary box. See the Talk page.

• 12:3512:35, 31 May 2019 diff hist −46‎ Fluctuation–dissipation theorem ‎ →‎Violations in glassy systems: Confusing wording deleted. Glassy does not require additional qualification of "low temperature". "Real" glass?
• 12:3112:31, 31 May 2019 diff hist −18‎ Fluctuation–dissipation theorem ‎ →‎Violations in glassy systems: Please see my talk page. The FDT categorically does *not* require equilibrium. It requires detailed balance.
