• 06:5106:51, 8 February 2012 diff hist 0 Ancient Roman cuisine →The starter: If the original writer had possessed an understanding of Latin grammar, he or she would recognize that 'pavonem' is an accusative form, and so does not function correctly as a complement. I've changed it to 'pavones.'

• 03:3303:33, 1 December 2011 diff hist −5 List of Primeval characters →Connor Temple: Removed the 'they' from the phrase 'whom he makes sure they all climb the ladder before he does.' Why do so few people take the time to understand the workings of their own language?

21 November 2011

• 20:0120:01, 21 November 2011 diff hist +377 Norden bombsight I corrected a historical inaccuracy. The USAAF never renounced pinpoint strategic bombardment in favor of area bombing. Instead, they shifted from having airplanes sight individually to having their best bombardiers sight for entire formations.

18 November 2011

• 23:5123:51, 18 November 2011 diff hist +4 List of Castle episodes →Season 3 (2010–11): the wording in one passage was very ambiuous as to who the "she" was of two female characters who were mentioned (curse the English lack of case endings!), a problem which I have fixed with some clever rearrangement.
