• 20:5820:58, 14 June 2023 diff hist +171 Tanenbaum–Torvalds debate For 'cite web' entry for "Microkernel: The Comeback?", update 'access-date' (content at the slashdot.org URL confirmed still relevant), and add 'url-status', 'archive-url', and 'archive-date'.
• 20:4420:44, 14 June 2023 diff hist +2 Tanenbaum–Torvalds debate In two 'cite web' blocks, use 'authors' rather than 'author' for lists of Slashdot handles that end with "... & Slashdot contributors". This eliminates the "has generic name" error messages, but use of 'authors' is also known to be discouraged. Is there a better approach?

• 23:4923:49, 6 October 2020 diff hist +84 Email address Section "Subaddressing": "MeMail": remove inline external link (see WP:EL); move URL into citation. I was unable to locate a specific reference to email sub-addressing on the memail.com site, so was unable to verify the existing information; that makes it a possible candidate for removal from the list. Leaving it for now pending somebody providing additional info.

1 May 2020

• 10:4010:40, 1 May 2020 diff hist +202 m Patch (Unix) Replace bare URL for diffstat site with a full citation. Site is still active, so replace recently changed archive-only link with active link and provide 'access-url' fallback. For the archive.org fallback URL, use most recently archived copy (2020-01-22) rather than the 2015-12-11 copy. Use current web page title ("DIFFSTAT – make histogram from diff-output") rather than "diffstat – show statistics from output of diff".
