- 06:2806:28, 2 October 2024 diff hist 0 m Optic equation →Thin lens equation: Added a comma, to make it clear that it's only the thickness, and not the focal length, that's "negligible" current

21 September 2024
- 03:0803:08, 21 September 2024 diff hist +30 Ivan Mauger Added to the lead a note of the unusual pronunciation of his last name
- 03:0603:06, 21 September 2024 diff hist −71 Aaron Mauger Simplified the lead paragraph by omitting mention that he played for Leicester; this is covered later in the "Playing career" section, and Leicester is far from the most noteworthy team that he played for current
8 September 2024
- 14:4114:41, 8 September 2024 diff hist +6 Asoiva Karpani Her common name "Eva" should be noted in the lead current
- 14:2114:21, 8 September 2024 diff hist +45 Ox Nché the first mention of the Springboks should be a link current
- 14:0014:00, 8 September 2024 diff hist −43 Whangamōmona The "self-declared republic" claim is not serious enough to be mentioned in the lead sentence. (It's already mentioned later on, in the "Republic Day" section.) However, I agree that "of New Zealand" reads better than "in New Zealand" current

28 August 2024
- 06:2906:29, 28 August 2024 diff hist −63 Kerikeri →Origins and naming: The reference doesn't say anything about this definition being the one "most widely known by pākehā". (Also, the alternative definition needs a citation.)
- 06:2106:21, 28 August 2024 diff hist −2 m 1882 New South Wales rugby union tour of New Zealand →Transport: In 1882, the ship would certainly have been named "Hawea", not "Hāwea"
23 August 2024
- 23:1223:12, 23 August 2024 diff hist −95 Caleb Muntz →Early life: The reference makes no mention of whether or not he can speak Māori
2 August 2024
- 09:0409:04, 2 August 2024 diff hist +5 Kaukapakapa OK, but I've moved this to the end of the lead paragraph (to be alongside other discussion of the town's name); having it in the lead sentence seems too provocative
- 07:2707:27, 2 August 2024 diff hist −408 Kaukapakapa Undid revision 1238075732 by Traumnovelle (talk) Unless this abbreviation is often used, which seems unlikely (I've never seen it used), then this is best omitted, because it might suggest an unwarranted association with the much more well-known meaning of "KKK" Tags: Undo Reverted

19 July 2024
- 10:4410:44, 19 July 2024 diff hist −7 Kimberly Guilfoyle Clarified the lead section to make clear that her marriage to Gavin Newsom was in the past. (Also removed the statement saying that he (Newsom) was later governor of California; while true, that's not relevant here.)

- 04:5304:53, 2 July 2024 diff hist +17 Carriacou minor copy-editing of the lead. (More clearly distinguish between the island of Grenada, and the nation of Grenada.)

- 08:3408:34, 1 July 2024 diff hist −248 Waipu, New Zealand →History: Cleaned up the Māori history of the area (and removed an inflamatory, uncited claim) current
- 08:2908:29, 1 July 2024 diff hist −124 Waipu, New Zealand Restored the lead paragraph to be close to as it was in August 2021, prior to an edit (full of uncited, POVish text) by an IP. (The Māori heritage of the area best belongs in the History section.)

- 22:5622:56, 22 June 2024 diff hist +9 Kekerengu This is silly. It's either "Saint", or its common abbreviation "St." (with a full stop). I have chosen the former.
- 20:4220:42, 22 June 2024 diff hist −45 Bowen Island language tag for the Squamish-language name. (Also, use the English name of the language.)

- 07:1307:13, 9 June 2024 diff hist −19 Oratia Per WP:NCNZ: In the English-language Wikipedia, we use the common spelling in English, unless LINZ has gazetted a different spelling as the "official" name Tag: Undo
