• 15:2615:26, 11 January 2021 diff hist −4 D'Arcy Osborne, 12th Duke of Leeds →Post-war: corrected grammar - "with" and "co" are redundant.
• 14:2814:28, 11 January 2021 diff hist +4 Carol Haney →Life and career: Haney also appears in Hernando's Hideaway, in which she is the lead dancer and the only soloist. Her part in Once a Year Day is much smaller and so could not be called a showcase.

10 January 2021

• 16:2416:24, 10 January 2021 diff hist −15 Colley Cibber →Autobiography: deleted self, an inaccurate redundancy, as one cannot be complacent for someone else; deleted however, as one cannot have it in the same sentence as but; the meaning is not changed.
• 16:1916:19, 10 January 2021 diff hist −5 Theophilus Cibber →Adultery case scandal: removed word for ease of reading so that the sentence did not contain one word with two antecedents.
• 16:1016:10, 10 January 2021 diff hist +2 Eliza Haywood →Fiction: corrected grammar. one cannot "attract well."
• 15:5915:59, 10 January 2021 diff hist +4 Joe Miller (actor) →Joe Miller's Jests: added "low" for clarity, because when one uses the word "quality" by itself the implication is of high quality.

9 January 2021

• 13:1013:10, 9 January 2021 diff hist −2 Lady Idina Sackville →Personal life: Shoreham, as per Wikipedia article, is not in London but in Kent.
• 13:0713:07, 9 January 2021 diff hist −20 Lady Idina Sackville →Personal life: deleted "among other things," as it raises a question it does not answer, and is pointless and confusing.

26 September 2020

• 14:4014:40, 26 September 2020 diff hist −7 Ingrid Bergman →Childhood and early years: removed redundancy
• 14:3814:38, 26 September 2020 diff hist −286 Ingrid Bergman →Childhood and early years: Though the introduction to this entry is written in the correct style, the rest of it sounds as if it belongs in a friend's memoir or a fan magazine. It is obviously by someone who is not a native English speaker--wrong tenses, articles used incorrectly or left out, etc. I have put the first section into correct English and removed inappropriate emotional details but have left a lot of trivia, for fear of censure. If there is no objection, I will edit the rest.
• 14:1814:18, 26 September 2020 diff hist +1 Ingrid Bergman corrected grammar

23 September 2020

16 September 2020

• 07:2607:26, 16 September 2020 diff hist +1 Sleepwalking →Treatment: the term "first floor" in Europe means the first floor above ground level. since "ground floor" is clearly what is meant, I changed it to that.
