31 August 2020

• 21:3821:38, 31 August 2020 diff hist +41 Ting Inc. Sentence a verb. Also the intro still only mentions T-Mobile even though the body mentions both Sprint and Verizon; I only added the latter as Sprint is now part of T-Mobile and the Sprint brand is being flushed down the loo.

• 19:0919:09, 21 February 2012 diff hist −3 Jill Masterton →Film Biography: Phrasing meant the opposite of what was intended. Also was also inaccurate; Fields was drowned, not asphyxiated. (I know I'm being picky, but they aren't the same, just similar.)
