  • 01:4001:40, 15 July 2024 diff hist −352‎ m Brooks Brothers riot ‎ "Merge" footnote number "[4]" (ref name="Gigot2") with footnote number "[1]" (ref name="Gigot") because they were identical. (They were 100% identical, including the "archive-url" and the "archive-date".) There were already 3 instances of footnote no. "[1]" ("Gigot"), and there was one instance of footnote no. "[4]" ("Gigot2"). current

  • 22:0022:00, 10 July 2024 diff hist +29‎ Lewis F. Powell Jr. ‎ →‎top: Add a wikilink -- (pointing or "linking" to the "#Powell Memorandum, 1971" section of the article) -- right where a sentence mentioning the phrase "1971 Powell Memorandum" was already appearing in the text of the "lede" part of this article. Retain the previously chosen (*displayed*) word order, in accordance with which the year -- ("1971") -- is still displayed before the words "Powell Memorandum".
  • 17:3517:35, 10 July 2024 diff hist +70‎ Shtetl ‎ →‎top: Modify the caption of the first image in this article, to clarify that this image is (a picture of) a painting of a wedding, (as opposed to: a photograph of an actual wedding). Also move the ["artist's credit"] name, "Isaak Asknaziy", closer to the word "painting", to clarify that it is the painting (and not the photograph thereof) that [dates from 1893, and] is being credited to Isaak Asknaziy. Also, add a wikilink cross-reference. current

  • 21:1721:17, 30 June 2024 diff hist +23‎ Tri-state area ‎ →‎Northeast: CLARIFY the last two words ("the state") of the first bullet point, by modifying (adding to) what was previously a potentially ambiguous phrase. Even though the placement of the word "sometimes" may have been 'intended' to lessen the potential ambiguity, IMHO there is no substitute for saying what you mean... especially since a total of FOUR states, (including PA), got mentioned in this bullet point ...so in a way it's almost like a "QUAD" state area. No harm adding "of PA" here. current

  • 03:3803:38, 27 June 2024 diff hist +241‎ Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski ‎ →‎Biography: Correct the value of the "title" field in the "ref" tag for footnote number "[5]". Also, add a "date" field, and some new fields such as "archive-url" and "archive-date", etc., due to a "url-status = dead" situation. (Actually, the "url" field value ... [when 'dereferenced'] ... does not exactly give a "404 Not Found" [error message]; but it also does not give the "intended" ['reliable source'] web page ... which there are plenty of clues about, at the newly added "archive-url".)

  • 15:5015:50, 24 June 2024 diff hist +4‎ Carlos Chagas ‎ →‎Early life and education: CORRECT the word right before "San Antonio", in order to more accurately reflect what IT SAYS (on page 227) in the reliable source "linked to" by the footnote. When the incorrect word ("in") was there, in that sentence -- (instead of the word "called") -- it could cause some readers to think that "San Antonio" might be the name of a city. What the linked source actually SAYS, is: [quote]: "to transfer Carlos to San Antonio, another religious school closer to home." current

21 June 2024

  • 21:4921:49, 21 June 2024 diff hist +2,182‎ User talk:David Eppstein ‎ →‎Revert of an "example": new section Tag: New topic
  • 21:1621:16, 21 June 2024 diff hist +42‎ m Double factorial ‎ →‎top: ADD an "|authorlink=Donald Knuth" field to the "{{Cite book}}" template instance for footnote number "[6]". Also, include a wikilink pointing to the same article -- (the article about] "Donald Knuth") -- right where the [surname only] name "Knuth" was already appearing -- (without any hyperlink) -- in the same sentence.
  • 20:5620:56, 21 June 2024 diff hist +25‎ Half-integer ‎ →‎References: ADD a new section, called "Notes", containing [only] the template instance "{{Notelist}}". The need for this was indicated by an "ERROR MESSAGE" that appeared AFTER (but NOT "during") the previous edit ... and the wording of that "ERROR MESSAGE" was [something like]: "Cite error: There are <ref group=lower-alpha> tags or {{efn}} templates on this page, but the references will not show without a {{reflist|group=lower-alpha}} template or {{notelist}} template (see the help page)." Tag: Reverted
  • 20:4720:47, 21 June 2024 diff hist +1,884‎ Half-integer ‎ →‎top: Add an explanatory footnote, giving an example that illustrates how the term "half-odd-integer" can be -- (and sometimes, should be) -- used in a context where it is appropriate (and maybe even necessary) to avoid the use of the [potentially confusing] term "half-integer". Tag: Reverted

17 June 2024

  • 04:3804:38, 17 June 2024 diff hist +193‎ m California ‎ →‎top: Add an "archive-url" field [value] (and some 'related' fields, such as "|url-status=live") to the "ref" tag for footnote number "[15]". Also add a wikilink [pointing] to (the Wikipedia article about) "The Atlantic", right where (in the value of the "website" field of the "ref" tag for that same footnote) that name was already mentioned. Also, insert the word "and" before the last "list item", in a comma-separated list of innovations that California was "the point of origin of".

16 June 2024

  • 21:2621:26, 16 June 2024 diff hist +30‎ BlackRock ‎ →‎top: Add a specific month ("December") to the value of the date field in the "ref" tag for footnote number "[3]", and add a new date field -- ("|date=January 9, 2020") -- to the "ref" tag for for footnote number "[4]".

13 June 2024

  • 09:5709:57, 13 June 2024 diff hist +601‎ Suzanne (Leonard Cohen song) ‎ →‎Background: Some additional changes to the [recently changed] "ref" tag for footnote number "[8]" (the first change in this "edit", being -- [perhaps] -- a 'correction' of a mistake ...'probably'). These "additional changes" include the addition of a "|quote=". Most of the other changes in this "edit", were resulting from the information in the value of that new "|quote=" field.

  • 23:2823:28, 9 June 2024 diff hist +128‎ Suzanne (Leonard Cohen song) ‎ →‎Background: Correct the "title" field in the {{cite web}} template instance in the "ref" tag for footnote number "[8]"; Also, add an "others" field, with two values.
  • 23:0023:00, 9 June 2024 diff hist +83‎ Cytokine ‎ →‎Discovery: Fix an incorrect wikilink from [the name of] the pathologist, "Stanley Cohen". DESPITE the fact that a "warning" was already in place, (immediately adjacent to this doctor's name) BEFORE the 'Revision as of 09:37, 17 April 2024', saying "(not to be confused with the Nobel laureate)", [that WARNING was apparently not seen / followed, and] a hyperlink from the name of [the MD pathologist] Stanley Cohen was inserted, linking to the wrong Dr. Cohen.

7 June 2024

  • 20:5220:52, 7 June 2024 diff hist +711‎ Merkos L'Inyonei Chinuch ‎ →‎top: UPDATE the value of the "archive-url" [field] in the "ref" tag for footnote no. "[1]", and add a COMMENT that explains (or at least ... "mentions") the reason why this update was [thought to be] necessary. I "tried" clicking on the hyperlink in the version of this article wherein that "archive-url" field had just been newly added, and, let me just say that ... I am confused about why the URL displayed when it DOES work, is different from the URL that must be used [first], to get there. current
  • 20:0720:07, 7 June 2024 diff hist +676‎ Merkos L'Inyonei Chinuch ‎ →‎top: update the last sentence of the first paragraph, which listed "Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky" as the vice-chairman of this "umbrella" Chabad-Lubavitch educational organization. This update was needed because Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky died in June 2024.

6 June 2024

  • 04:4404:44, 6 June 2024 diff hist −6‎ Adposition ‎ →‎top: Break the last sentence of the second paragraph into two sentences, partly because the first half of it was already pretty long. Also, expand [what is now] the second of those two sentences, to include the possibility of (for example) a prepositional phrase that modifies a noun (and hence, functions as an adjective, not as an adverb).
  • 04:1904:19, 6 June 2024 diff hist +250‎ Parenthesis (rhetoric) ‎ →‎Types: Add some explanatory information, such as [a] a guide regarding how to find the parenthetical phrase in each bulleted example in this section (namely, by finding the phrase that is displayed in an italic font); and [b] the fact that it is appropriate to use the term "parenthetical" phrase, even when the phrase is not "delimited" by (= surrounded by) brackets [such as, round or square brackets]. current
  • 03:5503:55, 6 June 2024 diff hist 0‎ Apposition ‎ →‎top: Change the word "appositions" to "appositives" in the sentence starting with the adverb "Traditionally". When the word "apposition" is used, it is typically in a prepositional phrase such as "in apposition", and [hence] it is a "mass" noun (= an "uncountable" noun), which is not suitable for being "pluralized" by adding a suffix such as the letter "s". The correct use of the countable noun "appositive" (singular or plural, without or with an "s"), is introduced earlier in this article. current

3 June 2024

  • 21:0121:01, 3 June 2024 diff hist 0‎ m Emerson College ‎ →‎The EVVY Awards: Correct a minor TYPO (or grammar or spelling) mistake. (Change one word, from: student's --> To: students'). The word being changed now, should be both possessive AND plural. Hence the apostrophe belongs after the second letter "s", not after the second letter "t".

  • 06:2306:23, 26 May 2024 diff hist +34‎ Phallus ‎ →‎top: Add some wikilinks to the caption for the picture "NAMA Phallus ailé.jpg", without changing the spelling of the words displayed. The only 2 changes are: [A] add a wikilink [pointing] to [the article about] "Attica", where the [capitalized] word "Attic" was already appearing in the caption (to help readers who might not know that "attic" can have another meaning besides 'a part of a house'); and [B] add a link pointing to "Red-figure_pottery", where it says "red-figure".

24 May 2024

  • 20:0820:08, 24 May 2024 diff hist +256‎ Baal teshuva ‎ →‎top: Add a "|quote=..." field to the "{{cite web}}" template instance for footnote number "[1]". NOTE that this quote is one that includes a wikilink [pointing] to the article about the word "frum" ... as part of the title -- ("Becoming Frum") -- of a book by 'Sarah Bunin Benor'. In connection with (or "inspired by") this, CHANGE to use the word frum -- (in place of the word "stringent") -- in the first sentence that has [a hyperlink to] an instance of footnote number "[1]".

  • 19:5619:56, 16 May 2024 diff hist +14‎ El Shaddai ‎ →‎top: Change the part about the word ''shaddai'' and its plural, in Biblical Hebrew and in Modern Hebrew [respectively]. Please feel free to make further corrections if this is still not right, but it is clear that the English word "(plural)" -- in parens -- was *** out of place *** before this edit ... right between the English phrase "Biblical Hebrew" and the (SINGULAR!) ["Biblical Hebrew"] word, "שדי". So this is a step in the right direction.
  • 18:3918:39, 16 May 2024 diff hist +1,126‎ Limousine liberal ‎ →‎top: CORRECT [the value of] the "title" field (was this "{{cite web}}" template instance composed -- perhaps -- by some robot? or what?) and enhance some of the other fields, in *** the "{{cite web}}" template instance *** for footnote number "[2]". Add -- (among other things) -- a "QUOTE" field ... for which it was hard to choose one "quote" to include ... because this interview is so chock FULL of amazingly juicy QUOTEs. ["!"] That is why it was so difficult, to choose just "one" of them!
  • 18:1418:14, 16 May 2024 diff hist +1‎ Teach For America ‎ →‎Criticism: CORRECT a small [1 byte] (TYPO...or other) error introduced during a recent EDIT to this section of this article. The final field of the "{{cite news}}" template instance for footnote "[24]" was followed by an extra "field separator" character -- "pipe" or "|" character -- that was not needed. The error message was confusing -- (to me) -- until I clicked on the "help" link ... which gave a better explanation. Also, this edit got away from me before I finished typing this comment.
  • 18:0418:04, 16 May 2024 diff hist −1‎ Teach For America ‎ →‎Criticism: CORRECT a small (one character) error ()
  • 18:0018:00, 16 May 2024 diff hist +249‎ Teach For America ‎ →‎Criticism: ADD an "archive-url" field to the "{{cite news}}" template instance in the "ref" tag for footnote number "[24]". Also add some other fields (some related, such as "archive-date", and others just previously "missing", such as "date" and "author"). Note that even though the "url-status" field is still omitted, if that is interpreted by some readers -- or robots! -- to 'imply' "|url-status=dead", then that would not be far off. The web page still exists, but ... behind a "pay wall".

15 May 2024

  • 22:2322:23, 15 May 2024 diff hist +12‎ Sheryl Sandberg ‎ →‎Facebook / Meta Platforms: Add "(as of 2012)" to a sentence with footnote number "[26]", since that 'reliable source' is from 2012. (and apparently, it can be found [only] at the "archive-url", since [it says] the 'url-status' = "dead".) Also, change the verb in that sentence to the past tense, since -- (besides the fact that 2012 was in the past) -- Sheryl Sandberg is no longer the Chief Operating Officer of Meta Platforms (e.g., Facebook) since about a year and a half ago ... August 2022.
  • 21:0221:02, 15 May 2024 diff hist +1,230‎ North Lamar Independent School District ‎ →‎District Administration: Add a footnote (whose links do not require any entry of a "password"), to the entry for "Superintendent", which still links now to the same URL it pointed to before -- (namely, "http://www.northlamar.net/page/administration") -- but that [old] URL seems to require the person viewing the destination website to have to enter a "password"; so ... the link[s] included in this new footnote might be more practical for the use of some readers of this Wikipedia article. current

14 May 2024

  • 20:0620:06, 14 May 2024 diff hist 0‎ Transduction (physiology) ‎ →‎top: Modify the "{{Cite book}}" template instance in the "ref" tag for footnote number "[1]". Change the field name of the field that has a value of "Lodish, Harvey F." already. That value properly belongs to a field with the name "author"; so, change the old field name, "others" -- (which was wrong! Was it put here by some well-intentioned robot? ...who created [or modified] this "{{Cite book}}" instance, here in this "ref tag" at some time in the past?) -- to the NEW field name, "author".

13 May 2024

  • 05:3205:32, 13 May 2024 diff hist +34‎ m Julian Huxley ‎ →‎top: UPDATE the value, which a list -- (using a "{{Ubl}}" template instance) [as in, "{{Unbulleted list}}"] -- of the field whose 'field name' is displayed as "Institutions", in the "{{Infobox scientist}}" near the top of this article. The OLD "Institution" previously shown first in that list, was displayed as "Rice Institute" -- which _is_ correct, "as of" the early days at Rice, where Huxley was one of the original faculty members. ADD [the explanation] "(now Rice U.)"

  • 16:0516:05, 3 May 2024 diff hist −457‎ Finance capitalism ‎ →‎Social implications: SIMPLIFY the "ref" tag for footnote number "[11]". It recently increased in complexity, but, [it turns out that] the discovery of an "archive" copy of the web page that used to be at the OLD URL (which is now a [brain-dead] dead link) ... makes it possible for one to be sure that the web page at the 'new' URL -- which was already added, recently -- IS really the same as the web page that WAS at the 'old' ("dead link") URL. Also, add an "archive-url" field (etc.)
  • 14:4514:45, 3 May 2024 diff hist +1,008‎ Finance capitalism ‎ →‎Social implications: UPDATE the "ref" tag for footnote number "[11]", (to fix a "dead link" that -- as of 2024 -- was not completely lifeless, [so it might 'seem' to be "alive", to a robot!] but was brain-dead) and "ALSO", insert a wikilink [pointing] to the article about "financial intermediation", (or ... perhaps via a 're-direct', somewhere else) right where that two-word phrase was already appearing -- (without a hyperlink) -- in the text of this section of this article.
