• 11:1411:14, 9 September 2024 diff hist +23 Numerus clausus (law) Different European states show different doctrines. Many European states employ numerus clausus (of some kind) but the number of property rights, and the lists, differ widely. Some countries don't, such as France (see the reference), or Spain (I didn't notice Spanish law discussed in the reference). Should we remove the section on Europe? Or make it much, much more detailed?

• 19:2819:28, 14 April 2024 diff hist 0 Sic The article is about an English word of Latin origin. The vowel differs between Latin and English. In Latin, the vowel is long ([sik]); in English, a shorter vowel is used ([sɪk]). The IPA help link needs to align to the actual IPA symbols offered, wrt language - either way.

• 11:4011:40, 24 November 2023 diff hist +1,566 Bridge scoring 1) The page was confusingly silent on the distinction between "game" and "match" and also on Chicago scoring. Chicago is sometimes described as a variant of rubber bridge, but it's scored closer to duplicate bridge. 2) Where I live, and wherever I web search, honor scoring is no longer ever seen in any form of bridge, but ACBL rules still imply its use even for Chicago so I'm covering it as optional in rubber and Chicago.

Krammer was transferred to the same internment camp a week after Vahlen's death there. Information published here: https://dml.cz/bitstream/handle/10338.dmlcz/139113/PokrokyMFA_38-1993-5_5.pdf

(Chapter 1 of the cited book supports each clause separately, but not the controversial connective between them. Controversial because: The intentions cannot equal the means. Facts cannot equal, or even just imply, any definitions.)

• 09:2309:23, 20 April 2022 diff hist +23 Tax horsepower The sentence says "in Europe", but the phenomenon seems to be limited to Britain and Ireland at the time. I'm not changing "in Europe" just yet because it's conceivable that the British market alone could have had that wide influence early on.

• 17:0817:08, 18 April 2022 diff hist +109 Thyratron Etymology of "thyratron" was completely missing from the "thyratron" page. That was making the provided etymology of another word somewhat confusing.

• 17:0517:05, 23 February 2022 diff hist +13 m Orders of magnitude (frequency) The reference to the dec unit (decade ratios) was confusing - the page just uses the decimal number notation, and a generic logarithmic scale, that's all. (And it uses another term "decade" = 10 years which was adding to the confusion.) Tag: Reverted

Without this added detail they remain incoherent, as it's sometimes called "Smiley's lighter" and other times "Ann's lighter" and its significance stayed unexplained.

• 13:4013:40, 31 August 2021 diff hist +5 Palatalization (phonetics) (minor) Not for Czech, at least. Czech orthography employs a loosely related trichotomy (soft;hard;ambiguous/ambivalent) but it's not that strictly aligned to the place or manner of articulation. (I've got an MSc in phonetics from Prague so I think I'd know if there was any additional usage.)

The computational cost associated with the RSA public exponent is not the cost to compute the exponent itself, but rather the cost of computing the corresponding power of lots of huge numbers.

And although Q is incomplete, it does not have much to do with PA - except possibly the fact that even PA is incomplete, but then we don't need to know that Q is strictly weaker.
