• 02:2702:27, 13 February 2024 diff hist +945 Johnny Carson Undid revision 1204629597 by Willondon (talk) Although I don't agree that the source I used was "unreliable," I went ahead and added several additional citations to further substantiate what is essentially common knowledge: Johnny Carson was a cruel and abusive person, and this has tarnished his once sterling legacy.

• 02:2802:28, 21 December 2023 diff hist +55 Glen Edward Rogers corrected the erroneous claim that Rogers is considered a suspect in murders perpetrated by O.J. Simpson. No serious observer believes that any person other than O.J. Simpson perpetrated those murders. Rogers is a known liar and his claims are preposterous on their face.

Biographer Manning Marable affirms that Malcolm may have engaged in some form of same-sex sex work, but does not assert that Malcolm had sex, in the strict sense of the term, with other men.

7 January 2022

• 00:5100:51, 7 January 2022 diff hist +4 Helmut Kentler revised the sentence so as to address concerns about Kentler's unknown "intentions." Whether he intended to facilitate child rape, he did oversee a program of child rape, and the new wording reflects that.
• 00:4700:47, 7 January 2022 diff hist −18 Helmut Kentler "Child sex trafficker" is a technical term which accurately describes Kentler. Also, sex with children is understood to be "sex abuse" throughout the modern world, not simply "for English speakers." It was considered abuse in Berlin, despite the activities of the Berlin Senate. "Rape" would also be adequate. Undid revision 1063253462 by 2601:8C:8202:9860:15A6:4FEE:EA77:8EC2 (talk) Tag: Undo

• 21:2321:23, 28 May 2020 diff hist −26 Dear Mama →Background: removed irrelevant and dubious information (hard to say in what sense the song is "composed in Db minor"). In any case, it is certainly not the sort of information that would be included in an opening sentence. Like starting an article on Coca-Cola saying: Distributed in various types of packaging, … ."

23 May 2020

• 19:4019:40, 23 May 2020 diff hist +53 Mary Dublin Keyserling The description of Keyserling as a "conservative feminist" was unclear and potentially misleading, since Keyserling was unquestionably left-of-center. On the other hand, it is true that as a "feminist," Keyserling was sometimes contrarian (she did not at first support the Equal Rights Amendment, for example). I don't pretend my revision is a perfect solution, but I think it's an improvement for now at least.

25 November 2017

• 20:2420:24, 25 November 2017 diff hist +24 Joe Paterno The opening paragraph of this article must specify that Paterno is alleged to have played a role in the child sex-abuse scandal. It is obfuscatory to say merely that he was fired "as a result" of the scandal. I revised a sentence to correct this.
