- 19:2119:21, 8 March 2024 diff hist −41 2009 Burlington mayoral election Undid revision 1212600263 by Closed Limelike Curves (talk) — percentages are appropriately based on votes cast, not the number of ballots; it is speculation that voters didn’t understand what they are doing rather than they really only wanted to vote for one candidate, and therefore needs a reference to supportive data to include this statement.

- 22:5322:53, 18 October 2023 diff hist +140 George Bird Grinnell Undid revision 1180798764 by Nikkimaria (talk) Revert for many reasons: (1) standard location format includes links to state; (2) The separate section "Early life and education" is standard to include in biographies; (3) Wikipedia style requires straight quotes rather than curly quotes; (4) External links should be at the end of an article. (5) It's better to do unrelated changes separately and provide explanations when not obvious. Tags: Undo Reverted

- 15:5115:51, 29 March 2023 diff hist −71 m Mercator projection →Criticism: Removed a recent in-line comment that was unhelpful (“weasel words”) and an in-line comment asking for citations when several were already provided.
