- 05:0505:05, 3 August 2023 diff hist −5 761st Tank Battalion (United States) Removed "deep" adverb from Southern because Kentucky was a Southern border state that did not secede. It was never considered part of the deep South. Tag: Visual edit

14 July 2022
- 17:0617:06, 14 July 2022 diff hist −81 m British Ceylon changed [British] "schemes" to projects, as "scheme" is pejorative to North American readers. Conversely, the "just some" language makes the author sound like a British Empire fanboy. I eliminated this whipsaw effect and made the sentence more compact. Tag: Visual edit
11 July 2022
- 05:4905:49, 11 July 2022 diff hist +3 m Scheme (programming language) added "was" to "R6RS ratified" Tag: Visual edit

- 09:5409:54, 10 July 2022 diff hist +1 Scheme (programming language) added space Tag: Visual edit
- 09:5309:53, 10 July 2022 diff hist −924 m Scheme (programming language) Omitted references to minimalism in introductory section. Added specific references to the two current standards. Called R5RS a widely implemented standard instead of the most widely implemented. Calling it the most widely implemented would require a more specific and more current reference. The fact that R5RS is widely implemented is well known in the community, as are the terms "small" and "large", I added the reference to R6RS to give it equal standing with R7RS, since both are standards.

21 March 2021
- 05:1905:19, 21 March 2021 diff hist +499 Strong and weak typing Article was missing the opposing point of view of advocates of dynamically typed languages. It also did not discuss how values are typed in dynamically typed languages. The term "weak" is pejorative, so advocates use the term dynamic instead. Tag: Visual edit
- 03:5203:52, 21 March 2021 diff hist +70 Generational list of programming languages →Lisp based Tag: Visual edit

- 06:3506:35, 7 January 2018 diff hist 0 m Christmas and holiday season →Secularization and commercialization: American spelling is more common on the internet and more consistent with current pronunciation. Tag: Visual edit
- 06:3106:31, 7 January 2018 diff hist +1,072 Christmas and holiday season Drew a distinction between holiday greetings and references to "the holiday season". Noted that festive season was a British usage. This North American author had never heard the terms festive season or festive period prior to reading this wiki. Tag: Visual edit
6 January 2018
- 18:2818:28, 6 January 2018 diff hist +355 m Christmas and holiday season Explanation of status of the term "festive period" in the United States, and why the term is not likely to be accepted in the United States. Tag: Visual edit

24 October 2017
- 03:3103:31, 24 October 2017 diff hist −27 NCSA Mosaic Changed language to active from passive voice ('has been said to") to reflect Mosaic's phenomenal, world-altering impact. Indeed, this impact is elaborated upon later in the article in largely the same terms. Tag: Visual edit
25 August 2017
- 02:1002:10, 25 August 2017 diff hist +53 Brendan Eich The author suggests that the Java features won out, which is not the case except in terms of external syntax. It is heavily influenced by Scheme, which is why the language could even be written in 10 days. Tag: Visual edit
28 July 2017
- 21:4421:44, 28 July 2017 diff hist −42 m P-value The term "frequentist" is deleted. The term is undefined. If the author feels this is important he should drop a footnote or introduce a theory section discussing this. Interested persons can follow the trail from there. Tag: Visual edit
27 July 2017
- 15:5415:54, 27 July 2017 diff hist −534 m Confidence interval Removed references to frequentist statistics insofar as the contrast with Bayesian statistics should be placed in later, more theoretical sections. Placing the term here is confusing for those who just want the concept explained succinctly. Tag: Visual edit
23 May 2017
- 02:5202:52, 23 May 2017 diff hist −43 m Occam's razor Changed Occam's razor to Ockham's razor, and noted that the latter is much more common. I saw Occam for the first time in an editorial regarding physics. I would have changed the title as well.had I been allowed. Tag: Visual edit

- 07:2407:24, 21 January 2017 diff hist +45 History of the Knights Templar Clarified that status as an international order is what changed. Also placed it in the High Middle Ages rather than using the term Middle Ages, which can cover as much as a thousand years. Tag: Visual edit
