- 20:0520:05, 13 July 2024 diff hist +1,716 User talk:KoA →July 2024: new section Tag: New topic
- 13:2113:21, 13 July 2024 diff hist +1,124 Glyphosate Replaced source of disputed reliability (Gillam etc.) with a secondary source from a highly credible peer-reviewed journal. Added detail around corrigendum to original article listing true funding source and non-independence of authors. Tag: Reverted
- 12:0212:02, 13 July 2024 diff hist −186 m Glyphosate Removed USRTK as a source by uploading the court proceedings .pdf that was hosted on USRTK's website directly to Wikimedia and citing proceedings directly. Should not be considered a "primary source" citation as the doc is cited in the context of its link from HuffPo coverage Tag: Reverted
- 11:4911:49, 13 July 2024 diff hist +7,388 Glyphosate USRTK is just the domain hosting the court transcript .pdf. The organization's reliability as a source is not relevant—unless you think the doc is altered? If you'd like to help shape this section up, let's edit rather than bulk-reverting truthful contributions; supposed concerns over due weight and source quality fall flat when you remove NYT and Guardian coverage but leave SBM blog posts. 1234095531 by KoA (talk) Tags: Undo Reverted

- 11:5811:58, 12 July 2024 diff hist +7,388 Glyphosate →Misinformation campaigns: You want misinformation campaigns? You got 'em. Tag: Reverted
- 07:3507:35, 12 July 2024 diff hist +27 m Polyethoxylated tallow amine →Human toxicity: Link to "AMPA" went to the wrong "AMPA". Glyphosate degradation product is alpha methyl phosphonic acid, not the ibotenic acid derivative used in neuroscience. current
11 July 2024
- 15:1115:11, 11 July 2024 diff hist +9 Heisenberg's microscope →Analysis of argument current
9 July 2024
- 13:2313:23, 9 July 2024 diff hist +515 m Diseases of affluence →Causes: brought in beriberi, probably the best-understood historical example of a disease of the wealthy. current
4 June 2024
- 04:4704:47, 4 June 2024 diff hist −5,394 m Coenzyme A →Antioxidant function and regulation: Getting this far down into the weeds on the main page for such a major metabolite? Section removed; not notable. Tag: Reverted

- 05:0105:01, 1 June 2024 diff hist −139 m Reuterin →Biological activity current
6 May 2024
- 02:4802:48, 6 May 2024 diff hist −1,202 m Serotonin →Biological role: Deleted some clear bias under "Biological Role": When you say "*The myth* that low serotonin levels cause depression is not supported by scientific evidence", you give up the game; you're not being objective, you've got your agenda and opinion and you're trying to weasel them into the Official Record on the strength of a Psychology Today blog post. If you had said "The notion" I might have let it slide.
17 March 2024
- 09:2109:21, 17 March 2024 diff hist +351 m 1-Deoxysphingolipids →1-Deoxysphinganine: Added a primary citation for antineoplastic properties and mention of gut microbita current
26 February 2024
- 15:3815:38, 26 February 2024 diff hist −925 m 3-dehydroquinate synthase →Applications: don't need four paragraphs on a molecule that targets a completely different enzyme in the same pathway. All that is there on the EPSPS or glyphsoate pages anyway. current
19 February 2024
- 17:0817:08, 19 February 2024 diff hist +274 m Chaptalization →Countries and regions: Added Argentina to the list of countries and regions where chaptalization is prohibited. If anyone has a better source (ideally text of a law or something) please update the cite.
10 January 2024
- 12:0812:08, 10 January 2024 diff hist −60 m Nutrient A number of sections were somewhat poorly worded, with clauses in places that resulted in crossed dependencies—cleaned these up for clarity, and replaced some more technical terms with plain language. There was one really bad bit about nutrient labels which has had a "clarify" tag since 2018, which I think is much better now.

- 08:0208:02, 5 September 2023 diff hist +1 m Methamidophos →Use in poisoning: -> →Consumer Toxicity: because "use in poisoning" makes it sound like a weapon of intrigue. current

27 August 2023
- 22:5422:54, 27 August 2023 diff hist +239 m Selective immunoglobulin A deficiency it's not even heritable! "most individuals who are IgA deficient have no other affected family members"
- 21:4221:42, 27 August 2023 diff hist +2 m Selective immunoglobulin A deficiency Until you find the necessary and sufficient allele or set of alleles, heritable does not mean genetic! Dish soap preferences are heritable.
- 11:4711:47, 27 August 2023 diff hist +343 m Plastic wrap →Health concern: Updated ref on plastic wrap safety to a non-dead link. Edited text to more accurately reflect reference's statements.

27 May 2023
- 00:4100:41, 27 May 2023 diff hist +195 m Collagen →Biology: Added one sentence explaining why anyone would care about the differences in amino acid composition between fish and mammal collagen—solubility! Tag: Reverted
2 April 2023
- 21:4621:46, 2 April 2023 diff hist +158 m Tinospora cordifolia →Traditional medicine: "No good evidence" claim was out of date; the cited drugs.com reference now mentions a couple of clinical studies that support its use in allergic rhinitis and alcoholism. Tag: Reverted
- 19:4719:47, 2 April 2023 diff hist −4 m Quaternary "not yet officially" -> "not officially"

- 19:2719:27, 22 March 2023 diff hist 0 m N-Acetylaspartylglutamic acid →Catabolism: Changed "SSRIs" to "MAOIs" as SSRIs hit the reuptake transporter whereas MAOIs inhibit degradation.
- 01:0101:01, 22 March 2023 diff hist −67 m Cullen corylifolium →Use in traditional medicine: fixed the link to lichen planus, cleaned some wording
11 March 2023
- 05:3405:34, 11 March 2023 diff hist −692 Stercobilinogen Just...no component of the "urobilinogen is just the name for stercobilinogen in the urine" bit was correct. Deleted the graf.

4 March 2023
- 17:1917:19, 4 March 2023 diff hist 0 m Carey Institute for Global Good Noticed that Carey died January 2nd, 2012, so thought it odd that the article had him buying the land and founding the Carey Inst. in 2012. Checked the source and, sho'nuff, land was bought and institute founded in 2011. Changed article to reflect that.
2 March 2023
- 16:3916:39, 2 March 2023 diff hist +23 m Imidazolonepropionase Turns out we DO have a page on formimidoyl-L-glutamate, but it's under a slightly different name.

6 February 2023
- 21:0521:05, 6 February 2023 diff hist +12 m 3-Indolepropionic acid Changed "is being investigated..." to "was being investigated as of 2002". No evidence of ongoing clinical investigations, and it ought to be off patent by now.
29 January 2023
- 20:1720:17, 29 January 2023 diff hist −353 m Anadenanthera peregrina →Bufotenin: Deleted some dangerous speculation about the safety of bufotenin in humans, extrapolating from the LD50 in rodents (unspecified which). LD50s do not scale across species mg/kg; you have to divide by 12 for mice, 6 for rats: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4804402/
14 January 2023
