00:3100:31, 18 February 2020 diff hist +46 I Know My Love Added a link to the Burl Ives recording on youtube Tag: Visual edit
00:2700:27, 18 February 2020 diff hist +58 m I Know My Love Added John Doyle to the list of people who have recorded it and a link to his youtube recording. Tag: Visual edit
00:2300:23, 18 February 2020 diff hist +239 I Know My Love The previous version of the article said the song dates back to at least 1921 - but in fact it was first collected and published in 1909 and is probably considerably older than that. I have added a link to the 1909 collection in which it was first published and a link to a mudcat thread in which it is demonstrated that this was the first time it was collected. Tag: Visual edit

19:3319:33, 5 October 2018 diff hist +565 The Three Ravens →The Twa Corbies: The claim in this section of this article that Twa Corbies is much older than The Three Ravens is directly contradicted by the introduction to this article, which states correctly that "A Scottish ballad called "Twa Corbies" ("Two Ravens" or "Two Crows") has lyrics based on "The Three Ravens". In fact The Three Ravens was first published in 1611 and is thought to be much older, whereas The Twa Corbies was first published in 1812 and probably dates from the 18th century.

19:4319:43, 20 March 2018 diff hist +491 To Be a Pilgrim There was a very over-simplified description of the melody. In fact "Monks Gate" refers to the place that Vaughan Williams collected the melody from, and is not the name of the melody. The melody is taken from the traditional folk song "Our Captain Cried All Hands". I also added a link with more detailed information about the folk song. Tag: Visual edit

00:2300:23, 24 November 2017 diff hist +45 The Whistling Gypsy Made the text for the Corrie Folk Trio link to the page on The Corries, because there is no page on the Corrie Folk Trio
00:1900:19, 24 November 2017 diff hist +26 m The Whistling Gypsy Added The Corrie Folk Trio to the list of artists who have performed it - at least in Scotland they are by far the most well known of all of them.

02:1502:15, 7 February 2017 diff hist +307 Ye Jacobites by Name The lyrics posted previously in this section didn't give their source. I have given the generally accepted source (it is frequently cited elsewhere) and linked to it. The lyrics in that source are slightly different from those in the previous version

01:1101:11, 28 January 2017 diff hist +16 The Colorado Trail (song) Added The Weavers to the list of people who've covered the song, as their version played a big role in popularising it. Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit

00:0400:04, 23 September 2016 diff hist +4 m The Juliet Letters →Content: Added a link from the word "Bellowhead" to the Wikipedia article about thems

19:3519:35, 22 September 2016 diff hist +4 m The Juliet Letters →Content: Corrected a grammatical error from my previous edit.
19:2919:29, 22 September 2016 diff hist +48 m The Juliet Letters →Content: Corrected my previously incorrect attempt to add a footnote
19:2319:23, 22 September 2016 diff hist +254 m The Juliet Letters →Content: Added a reference to the performance of the piece in 2016 by the Sacconi Quartet

00:2400:24, 13 September 2016 diff hist −2 The George Aloe and the Sweepstake →Synopsis: removed redundant []
00:2000:20, 13 September 2016 diff hist +430 m The George Aloe and the Sweepstake Corrected the statements that the later variant is only English and contains only one ship (the linked article "Coast of High Barbaree" proves both wrong). Added more information about the later version and linked to a recording of the original version.

12:3412:34, 9 July 2016 diff hist +158 m Blow the Wind Southerly Modified lyrics to reflect the traditional song, which repeats the chorus rather than varying it, and has an additional verse that was missing. Added explanatory text with citation, to explain difference between traditional song and Ferrier version. Tag: Visual edit
12:2312:23, 9 July 2016 diff hist +321 Blow the Wind Southerly Added some explanatory text and a citation to explain the changes I made to the lyrics Tag: Visual edit
12:1812:18, 9 July 2016 diff hist +46 m Blow the Wind Southerly The chorus, as with all folk choruses is usually repeated with the same chorus each time. I also added the third verse which was missing (see http://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=49498#2653464) Tag: Visual edit

15:3015:30, 1 May 2014 diff hist +96 Westering Home Added a glossary at the end and also mentioned that it was written in the 1920s (whereas the previous version just said it was written in the 20th century)
15:1115:11, 1 May 2014 diff hist −108 Westering Home The words of the song given in the previous version of the article were wrong - ironically, the external links given in the previous version of the article linked to the correct words!

00:2700:27, 16 November 2011 diff hist +1 The House at Pooh Corner →Contents: 1) Story 3: should be "organdised", not "organised". 2) Capitalisation in all story titles was different from that in the original book, now corrected.

19:1319:13, 14 May 2007 diff hist 0 Bert Bolin Bert Bolin was awarded the Blue Planet prize in 1995, not 2006 as the article previously stated.
