- 10:0610:06, 31 July 2024 diff hist +134 Sleep →Restoration: Remove "least evolved" since this is a misunderstanding of evolutionary theory. More primitive or basal organisms are not "less evolved," they just occupy niches that have not selected for cognition. The wiki article on evolution makes this clear so we should not contradict it. Also, add a contradictory tag for the last sentence, which doesn't make sense anyway. The universal necessity of sleep seems to point to the very opposite conclusion about sleep's primary function.

- 10:4210:42, 28 July 2024 diff hist +36 Water fluoridation controversy →Use throughout the world: Move the paragraph listing which nations fluoridated in 2012 to the top of the section, since the other paragraphs are not global in scope, and this is the most recent global data in the section. This also matches better with the image that is displayed right next to it, of a 2012 world map of fluoridation. Tag: Visual edit

- 09:5709:57, 25 July 2024 diff hist −29 Beer stein →History: Rephrase this so it's clear that it's comparing stoneware to glass to porcelain. It previously sounded like the first 2 sentences were both about glass, but it used the word stoneware, making it seem like it was conflating the two. Tag: Visual edit

- 09:5409:54, 25 July 2024 diff hist +34 Beer stein →History: Citation needed tag. This line is a bit excessive to just state as fact, uncited. The miasma point is true, but you don't need a germ theory of disease to intuit that certain animals might spread disease, or even spread miasma itself. People have historically shunned rats since long before there was any scientific evidence they spread disease. If a reliable source concluded it's unlikely then we should cite it here.

- 22:1522:15, 24 July 2024 diff hist +84 P–n diode Put the See Also links from the top of the lede in the See Also section at the bottom. It seems weird to have both of these. My instinct is to remove the one at the top, since most articles put this at the bottom. The article should just get right into the topic of the article, rather than recommending other articles at the beginning. Further recommendations are something to handle at the end. But I guess someone must have had a good reason to put it there, so I left it. current Tag: Visual edit
- 22:1022:10, 24 July 2024 diff hist −138 P–n diode Remove the "this article" line in the lede. It messes up the wikilink hover preview popup. The preview should contain a brief summary of the article, not a meta description of how the article relates to other articles. It's very unusual to start a lede in this way. The line is unnecessary since it's already obvious from the title that the "p–n diode" article "provides a more detailed explanation of p–n diode behavior" than other articles about other subjects.

Also clarify the language a bit and move the criticism sentence to another paragraph. It could be expanded to include some specific criticisms, especially those that are applicable to both the wager and the basilisk. Tag: Visual edit

Also introduce a notable logical difference between them. Also move one of the citations that came after the claim that the basilisk has been widely criticized, because the article does not actually criticize the basilisk, it only describes it and compares it to Pascal's wager.

- 13:2013:20, 7 July 2024 diff hist −225 Underfloor heating Add inline tag for many table cells lacking citations. Remove the claim that underfloor heating was lost in Europe c. 500. At least in Spain, hypocausts remained in use, see Gloria (heating system). I didn't add it to the table because it isn't a new device, just a continuation of the old hypocaust. I also removed the claim that Europeans only used fireplaces in 700, since it seems to overlook above-floor masonry stoves. current Tag: Visual edit
