2 June 2024
- 13:3413:34, 2 June 2024 diff hist −3 Dewsbury, West Yorkshire --> Dewsbury. It makes no sense at all to have this page redirect to Staincliffe. current Tag: Redirect target changed

- 18:5118:51, 6 April 2024 diff hist −784 Boone Lake Deleted copyvio paragraph of puffery from some website about property values and how cool (as in trendy) the lake supposedly is.
- 10:5710:57, 6 April 2024 diff hist +184 Tennessee Pass (Colorado) →Railroad line: ICC can't have been involved in a 2019 court case -- it was dissolved in 1996. current

20 March 2024
- 21:3121:31, 20 March 2024 diff hist −10 Perjury Removed "(federal)" from the lead paragraph. Perjury exists as a crime in countries that don't have federal systems, too. Tag: Manual revert
17 March 2024
- 13:0013:00, 17 March 2024 diff hist −35 Northwestern Pacific Railroad "SMART" isn't a reporting mark. Added "California", since not everyone knows where Sausalito is.
27 February 2024
- 09:5109:51, 27 February 2024 diff hist −15 Geology of the Broads The constant scare-quoting of "national park" looks snarky and is annoying. I replaced most of them with the uncontentious term "the Broads". Also fixed some broken quotation marks.
29 January 2024
- 08:1908:19, 29 January 2024 diff hist +86 Calcium acetate →Natural occurrence: "likely" anthropogenic: verification failed, as source lists possible origins as natural and man-made, without saying which is more likely. Removed unsourced speculation about "may soon be discredited".
19 January 2024
- 23:2323:23, 19 January 2024 diff hist −33 Radiant (yacht) →Design: Claim that yacht is Lloyds-registered was incorrect: editor confused Lloyds with Germanischer Lloyd, a different company. GL no longer exists; more up-to-date source given for Cayman Islands flag, but I'm not sure of the curent classification society.
16 December 2023
- 11:1511:15, 16 December 2023 diff hist −109 EMD GP15 Removed "See also" section, which linked only to an unrelated locomotive built by EMD for the export market -- see talk.
- 11:1411:14, 16 December 2023 diff hist +743 Talk:EMD GP15 →Removed "See also": new section Tag: New topic

29 November 2023
- 07:5007:50, 29 November 2023 diff hist +6 m Not the Nine O'Clock News →Background: "actuality" programme --> "current affairs"; "actuality" seems to be an Anglicised piece of French.
19 November 2023
- 14:5014:50, 19 November 2023 diff hist 0 m Elyria-Swansea, Denver →History: Fixed capitalization typo in my previous edit. current
- 14:4914:49, 19 November 2023 diff hist −31 m Elyria-Swansea, Denver →History: "hydrochloric and muriatic acid" -> "hydrochloric acid". Muriatic acid is just the old name for hydrochloric acid, so it doesn't make sense to talk about a mixture of the two -- that's like talking about a mixture of sodium chloride and salt.
23 October 2023
- 11:0811:08, 23 October 2023 diff hist +10 Mainline steam trains in Great Britain →Issues: Wootton Bassett SPAD driver was not jailed: the sentence was suspended, per the cited source.

17 August 2023
- 10:4010:40, 17 August 2023 diff hist −5 McCloud Railway →Rolling stock: UP's SD38-2 yard fleet wasn't "vast" -- they had about 20 of them (only 90 were built, ever).

23 July 2023
- 16:0216:02, 23 July 2023 diff hist +6 Amtrak →On-time performance: BNSF hosts 6.3 million *train*-miles of service, not 6.3 million miles (which would be impossible -- they only have 32,000 miles of track!)
20 June 2023
- 21:3621:36, 20 June 2023 diff hist −14 Kingsbury Oil Terminal →Protests: Added the year of the protests that are referred to. current

- 20:5920:59, 22 September 2022 diff hist −10 m Reeves's muntjac →Distribution: "Island of Great Britain" is redundant --> "Great Britain"
16 September 2022
- 16:4816:48, 16 September 2022 diff hist 0 m N scale Infobox photo caption: it's an N-scale model of a locomotive, not a model of an N-scale locomotive. (I mean, technically, I guess it's a 1:1 scale model of an N-scale model of a locomotive but...)
- 07:2907:29, 16 September 2022 diff hist +152 Florian Schneider →Departure from Kraftwerk: The reference to Side-Line is circular, as that article is mostly just a copy of the Wikipedia page as it was at that time.

1 September 2022

28 August 2022
- 16:3016:30, 28 August 2022 diff hist −144 Great Henny →Location: Removed irrelevant information about the counties that border Essex, and the out-of-date claim that Chelmsford is the only city in Essex (Southend and Colchester became cities in 2022). Described location relative to Colchester and Braintree.
22 August 2022
- 19:3019:30, 22 August 2022 diff hist −2 m Railbox There's no exclamation mark in the slogan, as clearly shown in the images.

30 May 2022
- 08:2108:21, 30 May 2022 diff hist +25 Thames Estuary Airport →Disadvantages: Citation needed for claim that Heathrow is frequently affected by fog (which I find dubious). Deleted unsourced claim that it's frequently affected by snow -- in SE England, there is rarely snow on the ground for more than a couple of days a year.
