- 14:4114:41, 4 July 2024 diff hist −2 Elio Chacón →'¡La tengo!': remove unwanted commas. We aren't trying to say that Yo La Tengo are the ONLY band. So we need "Yo La Tengo" to modify "band", rather than being in apposition. Also, edited graf 2 of the section to use Chacón's name rather than a pronoun for the first mention of the paragraph current

- 16:3716:37, 29 June 2024 diff hist −13 Atlantic (yacht) It seems clear that the text "(yacht designer)" was not meant to be displayed, in this sentence that already says that Hoyt designed the yacht, but rather as disambiguation in the title of a future article about Hoyt. But how many Frederick Maxfield Hoyts are there? [None, so far, on Wikipedia.] I made the undisambiguated name a link, which a future editor may wish to undo. But, either way, we don't need to explain that the yacht was designed by a yacht designer. current
