• 16:2016:20, 3 November 2024 diff hist +22 Robert Picardo →top: There is absolutely no doubt (and he has noted them himself) that he is best known for Voyager. And seriously, it is poor writing when we attach the phrase "best known" to more than one item. Sure, sometimes it can be difficult to pick just one, but a half dozen is just absurdly bad use of the phrase "best known".

Alaska is the "northwesternmost" state in the US, but you NEVER hear it described that way, instead hearing that it is both the northernmost and westernmost state (and yes, arguably the easternmost, but this is hardly the place debate that point).

• 18:2718:27, 27 July 2024 diff hist −35 List of Olympic Games host cities This "large majority" of 41 is obtained only by creating an artificial grouping of countries. I mean, is Helsinki in "Western Europe" or "Eastern Europe"? The way I have it is not perfect (e.g., Mexico City could have instead been listed as N.Amer.) but it's better than what was here before.

• 16:4016:40, 25 April 2024 diff hist +2 Don McNeill's Breakfast Club →top: Strictly speaking, "surpassing" implies that the person doing the surpassing broke a record that was already established. But McNeil's record was established decades before Carson and Barker completed their tenures, so while they COULD have surpassed McNeil, McNeil could not surpass them.
