• 05:3605:36, 13 August 2024 diff hist −18 m Leominster →History: Removed '"Lemster" {{sic}}' - there is no need for the 'sic' since Lemster was the spelling at the time.
• 05:3505:35, 13 August 2024 diff hist +31 m Leominster →Toponymy: Added ', previously spelled 'Lemster',' so that there is no need for '[sic]' after the later use of Lemster.

30 July 2024

• 19:1119:11, 30 July 2024 diff hist −1 The Stars Look Down →References in other works: Changed 'the same year as' to 'two years after', because 'Busman's Honeymoon' was published in 1937. Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit

25 April 2024

• 06:2206:22, 25 April 2024 diff hist −35 Human body temperature →Cold: Cut 'concerning kinesiological movement' because it didn't seem to add anything useful beyond 'stillness and being lethargic'. Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit
• 06:1506:15, 25 April 2024 diff hist +31 Human body temperature →Internal variation: I have just queried the first sentence which makes no sense as far as I can see. Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit
• 06:0506:05, 25 April 2024 diff hist −2 Human body temperature →Natural rhythms: Changed 'Elderly patients' to 'Elderly people'. Calling us oldies 'patients' implies we're a burden on society... Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit

9 March 2024

• 07:1207:12, 9 March 2024 diff hist +49 m List of environmental organizations →International: Added Botanic Gardens Conservation International

• 07:0707:07, 9 March 2024 diff hist +7 m List of environmental organizations →United Kingdom: Added (CPRE) to Campaign to Protect Rural England, since they decided to call themselves by an abbreviation rather than with a proper name...
• 07:0507:05, 9 March 2024 diff hist +63 m List of environmental organizations →United Kingdom: Added Freshwater Habitats Trust - though it doesn't have a page yet - see https://freshwaterhabitats.org.uk/
• 07:0007:00, 9 March 2024 diff hist +45 m List of environmental organizations →International: Added Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International

• 06:2806:28, 14 September 2023 diff hist +4 Rhine →End of the last glacial period: Changed 'Man was' to 'Humans were'. Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit

10 August 2023

• 06:4106:41, 10 August 2023 diff hist −30 m Permethrin →External links: Removed insect repellent category, because permethrin is an insecticide, not a repellent
• 06:3606:36, 10 August 2023 diff hist +32 m DEET →See also: Added insecticide after permethrin; changed 'means of' to 'another insecticide used for' after DDT
• 06:3406:34, 10 August 2023 diff hist +6 m DEET →See also: Added (PMD) after Ethyl butylacetylaminopropionate
• 06:2806:28, 10 August 2023 diff hist +15 m Icaridin →See also: Added p-Menthane-3,8-diol, another repellent, and deleted permethrin because it is an insecticide rather than a repellent

2 January 2023

• 16:5116:51, 2 January 2023 diff hist −25 m Laurus nobilis →Rome: Changed 'laurel does not burn easily and crackles loudly when on fire' to 'laurel crackles loudly when on fire' - in my experience it burns very well, so it would be good to see a reliable reference for a clai that it does not burn easily.
• 16:4316:43, 2 January 2023 diff hist −1 m Laurel forest →Characteristics: Changed '''Prunus laurocerasus'' (English laurel)' to '''Prunus laurocerasus'' (cherry laurel)' because Prunus laurocerasus may be planted in gardens and parks in England, and sometimes naturalised and a nuisance, but it is not native there.

22 December 2022

• 19:2919:29, 22 December 2022 diff hist +53 m Hormone replacement therapy →External links: Added [https://thebms.org.uk/] British Menopause Society
• 19:2019:20, 22 December 2022 diff hist +2 m Hormone replacement therapy Inserted commas before and after 'unless the uterus has been removed'. (Perhaps a medically qualified person could suggest a better word to replace 'unopposed' in the next sentence?!)
• 19:1619:16, 22 December 2022 diff hist +8 m Hormone replacement therapy Changed 'when the uterus is present' to 'unless the uterus has been removed'. The former phrase suggests that it is normal for women to be without wombs, but actually it is hysterectomy that is abnormal.
• 19:1319:13, 22 December 2022 diff hist +16 m Hormone replacement therapy Added 'or osteoporosis' after 'bone loss' to emphasise the point, because until just now the osteoporosis page didn't include hormone replacement therapy as treatment to prevent osteoporosis even though it's very well known as a treatment!
• 19:0819:08, 22 December 2022 diff hist +10 m Osteoporosis Put 'andropause' into inverted commas, because it's contested, removed capital letters from 'Andropause' and 'Testosterone', and added links to both andropause and testosterone.
• 19:0419:04, 22 December 2022 diff hist +55 m Osteoporosis Added hormone replacement therapy for menopausal women to prevention.
• 18:4618:46, 22 December 2022 diff hist +7 m Osteoporosis →Physical exercise: Changed 'may improve pain and quality of life' to 'may reduce pain and improve quality of life'.
• 18:4318:43, 22 December 2022 diff hist +201 m Osteoporosis →Prevention: Added section headed 'Hormone therapy' because hormone replacement therapy for menopausal women reduces the risk of osteoporosis - I'm not medically qualified but this is so well known I'm astounded it hasn't been included. HRT pills include the prevention of osteoporosis as one of the reasons for taking them.

14 October 2022

• 07:2607:26, 14 October 2022 diff hist +4 m The Tenant of Wildfell Hall →Domestic violence: added 'him' to 'reminding that they are not at home'
• 07:1607:16, 14 October 2022 diff hist +24 m The Tenant of Wildfell Hall →Plot summary: Added ', and to torture animals' to 'Arthur's corruption of their son – encouraging him to drink and swear at his tender age'

13 October 2022

• 05:3105:31, 13 October 2022 diff hist −7 m Elizabeth von Arnim →Reception: Changed 'some of which try to claim her as a feminist' to 'some of which claim her as a feminist', because presumably they do indeed claim that, even if others disagree.
• 05:2605:26, 13 October 2022 diff hist +2 m Elizabeth von Arnim →Second marriage, moves to France then USA, and death: Changed heading again (sorry!) to 'Second marriage and separation, house moves, and death'. Not even sure why there's a heading here at all.
• 05:2305:23, 13 October 2022 diff hist +37 m Elizabeth von Arnim →Second marriage: Changed 'Second marriage' to 'Second marriage, moves to France then USA, and death', because this paragraph covers from 1916 to 1941, but the marriage only lasts to 1919.
• 05:1805:18, 13 October 2022 diff hist +5 m Elizabeth von Arnim →Personal life: Changed 'built the Chalet Soleil' to 'had the Chalet Soleil built,', because I assume she didn't build it herself.
• 05:1305:13, 13 October 2022 diff hist −3 m Elizabeth von Arnim Changed 'which whom' to 'which', and 'only for a novel' to 'for only one novel'.

31 August 2022

• 20:3820:38, 31 August 2022 diff hist +28 m Stachys affinis →Origin and history: Added link to vagility page, and '(tendency to spread)'.
