• 19:5519:55, 19 November 2024 diff hist −1,323 ArcGIS →Criticisms: Removed discussion of resistant to transition between software versions 25 years ago. Was relevant at the time, but does not constitute a significant criticism in 2024. It's continued inclusion may violate WP:WEIGHT current

30 October 2024

• 17:1217:12, 30 October 2024 diff hist −14 m Nuclear meltdown →China syndrome: Removed link to "Antipodes", because the phrase "until reaching the opposite end" is "Everyday words understood by most readers in context" MOS:OVERLINK
• 17:0817:08, 30 October 2024 diff hist −24 m Nuclear meltdown Removed link to "environment" because it is "Everyday words understood by most readers in context" MOS:OVERLINK

26 September 2024

• 15:0015:00, 26 September 2024 diff hist −7 m Rob Halford →Sexuality: Article used the odd word "lapidation", which is a synonym for stoning, with link to the article on stoning. This seems to be an excuse to put in a link. I've changed to the more common word and removed the link WP:OLINK

5 August 2024

• 15:5315:53, 5 August 2024 diff hist 0 m Categorical imperative →The Golden Rule: Not sure how article arrived at this state, but a criticism of Kant's objection (by Peter Corning) should come *after* Kant's objection. It appeared before Kant's objection, and the second paragraph was incomprehensible in this order.
• 15:4715:47, 5 August 2024 diff hist −4 m Categorical imperative →Theft: Removed link to "consent" because it is "Everyday words understood by most readers in context" MOS:OVERLINK. Also, consent article discusses a number of technical definitions of "consent" within specific contexts which are not applicable to the current article (e.g. informed consent in medicine).

• 16:0416:04, 25 June 2024 diff hist −4 m Tokugawa Ieyasu →Ruling Kanto & rebellions suppression: Toyotomi Hideyoshi was linked earlier in this section. Duplicate link appears immediately another link. MOS:REPEATLINK MOS:SEAOFBLUE
• 15:5915:59, 25 June 2024 diff hist −4 m Tokugawa Ieyasu →Ruling Kanto & rebellions suppression: Removed link to "bank" because it is "Everyday words understood by most readers in context" MOS:OVERLINK

4 October 2023

• 14:4614:46, 4 October 2023 diff hist −93 Blades in the Dark Removed several links to ordinary words used in context. Removed second link when word was already linked earlier ("fantasy", "organized crime"). WP:OLINK

13 August 2023

• 15:0915:09, 13 August 2023 diff hist −309 m Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community? →Reception and lasting legacy: Removed 7 (!) links to universities Cornel West has been affiliated with and one authored book. They are irrelevant to the present article and distracting in the text. MOS:OVERLINK

9 June 2023

• 14:5514:55, 9 June 2023 diff hist −21 m Robert Trivers Removed link to nonexistent article that redirects to a different article of dubious value to the reader. WP:OVERLINK

21 May 2023

• 21:5621:56, 21 May 2023 diff hist −24 m Revolution (TV series) Removed link for two reasons: ordinary word used in context, and the link article was not related to the word used WP:OLINK

19 March 2023

• 14:5014:50, 19 March 2023 diff hist −330 Cambridge Scholars Publishing List of university affiliations of some published authors looks like an excuse to include links to those universities, and is a "lists of miscellaneous information" MOS:MISC MOS:OVERLINK

27 July 2022

• 14:4214:42, 27 July 2022 diff hist −1,835 The Daily Beast →Controversies: Disagreement by the article subject does not rise to the level of a controversy. There are no sources (outside the article's subject) as to why this particular 9-year old article was a significant controversy for the Daily Beast. WP:NOTEVERYTHING WP:WEIGHT

7 July 2022

1 July 2022

• 21:1021:10, 1 July 2022 diff hist 0 m Prizes as an alternative to patents →Background: Changed link text on Generic drugs to make the link more sensible.
• 21:0921:09, 1 July 2022 diff hist −40 Prizes as an alternative to patents Removed links to many "Everyday words understood by most readers in context", including "marketing", "drugs", "prize", etc. I left in certain economic concepts (e.g. "monopoly") and legal concepts (e.g. "patent") which would be probably be understood, but are specifically relevant to the current article. Also removed repeat linking of the same word (e.g. "AIDS") later in the article. MOS:OVERLINK
• 16:4916:49, 1 July 2022 diff hist +21 Ivy League Putting "Ancient Eight" in the lead section, in the first sentence, as part of the definition of the Ivy League, very strongly implies that this is a widely known alternative, possibly even of equal importance. The citations establish that *some* news sources use this phrase (as such, this might constitute original research WP:ORIGINAL), but don't establish it's origin or prevalence. I have moved this further down to section on Ivy Plus, where it is a meaningful distinction. WP:MOSLEAD

2 June 2022

• 06:3106:31, 2 June 2022 diff hist −211 Wheaton College (Massachusetts) →Academics: Removed a list of majors that, from the phrasing, sounds like it was drawn from the college's marketing literature, and seems to have been included primarily as an excuse to improperly link to articles associated with each major. MOS:OVERLINK
• 06:2906:29, 2 June 2022 diff hist −14 m Wheaton College (Massachusetts) →Academics: Removed phrase "if they wish", which sounds like it came from a college brochure. Obviously, students won't design self-declared majors against their wishes.
• 06:2706:27, 2 June 2022 diff hist −104 Wheaton College (Massachusetts) Removed links to a ludicrous number of "Everyday words understood by most readers in context", including "college" (!!!), "geometry", "art", etc. MOS:OVERLINK

25 May 2022

• 04:4404:44, 25 May 2022 diff hist −442 Backgammon →Software: Removed mention of a specific game system in which backgammon is one of 51 games. This is *not* primarily a backgammon software, and edit seems to be excuse for unrelated links. WP:OVERLINK

23 May 2022

• 16:4116:41, 23 May 2022 diff hist −53 Bill Cosby sexual assault cases Undid revision 1084545437 by 24.113.175.26 (talk) The edit adds information not found in the cited source. The information is itself suspect. First, SCOTUS did not rule on the case, it denied cert, so referring to a "ruling" is incorrect. Second, denial of cert does not "establish" a presumption of innocence. Tag: Undo
• 12:3712:37, 23 May 2022 diff hist −98 Führerprinzip Removed several links to "Everyday words understood by most readers in context", including "obey", "corporation", etc. MOS:OVERLINK

14 December 2021

• 09:3509:35, 14 December 2021 diff hist −458 Quality time Link and quote from book review about a book on parenting. Although the title of the **book review** is "Quality Time", there is nothing in the review itself that is relevant to this article.
• 09:3309:33, 14 December 2021 diff hist −450 Quality time Summary and link to New York Times article that uses the phrase "Quality Time" in the headline in a clearly ironic way. This *definitely* doesn't belong in an Overview section, and arguably doesn't belong in this article at all.

13 December 2021

• 14:5614:56, 13 December 2021 diff hist −418 Battle Beyond the Stars WP:OLINK Reference to The Magnificent Seven, which is relevant to *this* article, is used as an excuse to further link to both Seven Samurai and Akira Kurosawa. Those links are appropriate in article about Magnificent Seven, but not this article.

• 13:1613:16, 4 November 2021 diff hist −4 m For Whom the Bell Tolls Removed link to "dress rehearsal" because it is "Everyday words understood by most readers in context" MOS:OVERLINK

20 August 2021

• 15:1815:18, 20 August 2021 diff hist −27 m Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution Removed two middle names from "Carrie Amelia Moore Nation". Improves readability and text now matches title of linked page, which is the "household name" mentioned in the next sentence.

20 July 2021

• 16:2716:27, 20 July 2021 diff hist −16 m The High Cost of Free Parking Describing academic book as "non-fiction" is bizarre, and seems like excuse to link to irrelevant article WP:OLINK

17 April 2021

• 23:1823:18, 17 April 2021 diff hist −59 Null Island →Natural Earth: Removed parenthetical claim not found in cited source.

24 February 2021

• 15:4715:47, 24 February 2021 diff hist −500 Wix.com Removed Marketing section. List of celebrity endorsers and places where company advertised is not inherently interesting or important to understanding this company. WP:LISTCRUFT

26 August 2020

20 March 2020

• 22:1522:15, 20 March 2020 diff hist −311 Government budget balance →Primary balance: This section includes two different definitions of primary balance. The first is property cited and appears consistent with the rest of the article. The second has no citation and appears to be an excuse to link to another article WP:CITE WP:OLINK
• 22:1122:11, 20 March 2020 diff hist −77 Triangular number The definition in the lead section of triangle numbers as beginning with 0 is inconsistent with the definitions provided in body of the article. Furthermore, the sentence so defining appears to be constructed as an excuse to provide satellite links to other articles WP:OLINK.

22 December 2019

• 18:1818:18, 22 December 2019 diff hist −387 Carvana Sentence about specific movie tie in is trivial. The sentence as written was also false, as a movie character was used in Carvana marketing, which is not the same as saying Carvana was "featured" in the movie. Tag: Visual edit

4 November 2019

• 04:2904:29, 4 November 2019 diff hist −642 Titans (2018 TV series) Information about abandoned production history does not comprise "basics" or "concise overview" of an article WP:LEDE

3 November 2019

• 22:0722:07, 3 November 2019 diff hist +3 Population geography Renamed "Others" to "Topics in Population Geography", preserving core for possible expansion of article.
• 22:0622:06, 3 November 2019 diff hist −5,001 Population geography This article as had the Encyclopedic Tone template attached for 1½ years. The section Case Studies is just not helpful in relation to the overall topic. Several unrelated examples, often with no context to their significance in the discipline, most likely representative of idiosyncratic interests of individual editors. I hate to be this destructive, but I have removed the entire section.
• 22:0022:00, 3 November 2019 diff hist −64 Population geography →See also: Removed to "See also" links which do not expand on the topic.
• 21:5021:50, 3 November 2019 diff hist −4 Population geography Link to nonexistent article has been redirected to section of another, very tangentially related article. This is not a helpful link, it is a distraction.
• 21:4921:49, 3 November 2019 diff hist −4 Population geography Links should not be placed in the boldface reiteration of the title in the opening sentence of a lead MOS:BOLDAVOID

7 October 2019

30 September 2019

• 16:4416:44, 30 September 2019 diff hist −1,186 Temple University →History: Removed three paragraphs related to an anti-Vietnam speech. This seems to exist mostly as a hook to an article on Lester B. Pearson, and is way too long in context WP:Relevance WP:Coatrack

26 July 2019

• 01:5801:58, 26 July 2019 diff hist −296 Meat Loaf Removed list of TV guest appearances, as well as name of movie that was a commercial and critical bomb as a "notable role". These don't belong in lead section. WP:MOSLEAD
