• 03:2303:23, 2 January 2024 diff hist +1,306 Rhacodactylus leachianus →Mating Behavior and Reproduction: The previous tone of this paragraph was assertive/factual, but nearly all of these details, while likely, remain speculative, as attested in the sources cited. That is, the tone of the paragraph did not match the tentative nature of the assertions in the source publications. The sources are not at fault, but the interpretation overstepped the veracity of the sources. Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit
• 01:5701:57, 2 January 2024 diff hist +44 Rhacodactylus leachianus →Mating Behavior and Reproduction: A statement claimed 'Parthenogenesis has been observed ...', but this implies a much greater confidence in the theory than the evidence has shown. The evidence is presently only anecdotal, from lay hobbyists, who, while sincere, have not applied the scientific method to establish proof. Also, provenance (chain of ownership, as well as security of enclosures) in a hobby scenario is wildly susceptible to errors based on the absence of evidence falsely equat...

• 21:2221:22, 1 January 2024 diff hist −78 Rhacodactylus leachianus →Coloration and Camouflage: removed some candid content that was placed in the original "How did you improve the page?" paragraph, but it did not belong in the note, lest it be perceived as an admonishment by public readers. (I removed "Humidity is not mentioned as a cause in the cited article" from the "citation needed" note.) Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit
• 21:1521:15, 1 January 2024 diff hist +541 Rhacodactylus leachianus →Coloration and Camouflage: Some unverified assertions require a citation. Also, specific details of environmental factors are mentioned, which are not mentioned in the cited article (humidity and stress), so I have generalized the statement to reflect the specificity present in the cited article.

• 16:4916:49, 12 June 2023 diff hist −2 African spurred tortoise →Requirements: Ambiguous use of "as", changed to "because". Tag: 2017 wikitext editor
• 16:4716:47, 12 June 2023 diff hist +7 African spurred tortoise →Requirements: The word "around" is confusing in this context, so has been changed to "about", and "in height" has been added for clarity, to read, "A fence of about 2 feet in height." Tag: 2017 wikitext editor
• 16:4416:44, 12 June 2023 diff hist −2 m African spurred tortoise →Female nesting: Cardinal numbers should be expressed as numerals when associated with units of measure, regardless of the value. That is, there is a misapplication of the rule to express single digits as words (e.g., "2" as "two"). So, "two feet" becomes "2 feet". Tag: 2017 wikitext editor
• 16:3916:39, 12 June 2023 diff hist +145 African spurred tortoise →Diet: Provided a more robust description of "metabolic bone disease", for clarity, to read, "a chronic dissipative condition that is characterized by distortion of the skeleton and weakened bone structure and can lead to lameness, lower quality of life, and/or shortened lifespan." Tag: 2017 wikitext editor

Tag: 2017 wikitext editor

• 01:5401:54, 22 January 2023 diff hist −1 m Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase deficiency →Mechanism: the word "nonfunctional" does not need a hyphen. Tag: 2017 wikitext editor
• 01:5101:51, 22 January 2023 diff hist −7 m Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase deficiency →History: inserted a missing conjunction, deleted an extraneous article, and changed words "four" and "seven" to numerals (these are ages, and not subject to the arbitrary rule that numbers from 1 to 10 should be expressed in word form).

• 16:2516:25, 17 August 2018 diff hist +1 m Concorde Comma added, to remove ambiguity "limited to ocean-crossing only to prevent" change to "limited to ocean-crossing only, to prevent". Inserting the comma emphasizes that there were many possible flight paths, but all were prohibited except "ocean-crossing". Without the comma, the reader may infer that the reason for the restriction is trivial ("...only to prevent"), which it is not. Tag: 2017 wikitext editor

• 18:4418:44, 11 April 2018 diff hist +10 m Elise Wassermann →Character: Revised the second sentence, to remove an ambiguous phrase that implied the subject had trouble recognizing "an above-average intellect"; rather, the subject possesses such an intellect. Tag: 2017 wikitext editor

• 15:0015:00, 4 April 2018 diff hist −5 m 25I-NBOMe →Serbia: An immediate and further change was made here, to clarify a statement which obviously stated the opposite if what was intended. The original text read '...wasn't s added...', and so the extraneous 's' was deleted. However, upon reading the cited PDF, it is clear that this name was, in fact, added to the cited list. So, 'was added' is the appropriate phrase. Tag: 2017 wikitext editor
• 14:5414:54, 4 April 2018 diff hist −2 m 25I-NBOMe →Serbia: An extraneous lone letter 's' was deleted, although it is unclear whether the remaining text is what was intended. Therefore, this section requires further confirmation, irrespective of this change. Tag: 2017 wikitext editor

• 19:1519:15, 26 March 2018 diff hist +43 m Freediving blackout →Terminology: Minor changes were added (alternative punctuation, such as semicolons for commas; alternative wording for precise expression in the context, such as ' 'in(ex)spiration' ' in place of ' 'breathing in(out)' ') to clarify linkages between statements. Changes to wording were also applied to remove ambiguity with regard to the association of substantive antecedent words/phrases to the intended substitutes (most often, pronouns).
