• 01:4901:49, 10 October 2014 diff hist −65 Lawyer copying someone else's definition is not acceptable. basic policy of the encyclopaedia is that we use our own words. non-free material only counts as fair use if no free alternative exists, which it plainly does.
• 00:3400:34, 10 October 2014 diff hist +172 1998 British Grand Prix pretty useless to say it was controversial without any mention of why in the lead.
• 00:3000:30, 10 October 2014 diff hist −33 1994 PPG Indy Car World Series rm weird misuse of list formatting for what are quite obviously not lists

• 23:5923:59, 9 October 2014 diff hist +14 Broadway theatre remove footnote again, for reasons already given, and finessed wording to avoid the enormously clunky "broadway theatre are"
• 23:5623:56, 9 October 2014 diff hist −9 Polyfill (programming) rm unnecessary formatting
• 23:5223:52, 9 October 2014 diff hist −17 Michael Andretti →Formula One: rm pov
• 23:4623:46, 9 October 2014 diff hist −205 Jovy Marcelo no, people do not sit around speculating about the cause of his death. rewrote in encyclopaedic tone, updated citation needed date due to the change of wording
• 23:4523:45, 9 October 2014 diff hist −386 Guangzhou not discussed at all in the rest of the article, so clearly not significant enough to mention in the lead
• 23:4023:40, 9 October 2014 diff hist −13 List of human disease case fatality rates say things in one way, not two. It's insulting to the reader to suggest that they couldn't work out what would be meant by "proportion" here.
• 23:3823:38, 9 October 2014 diff hist −65 Stonecutters Island →Fauna: rm nonsense, and citations needed
• 23:3523:35, 9 October 2014 diff hist 0 Timothy McVeigh →Oklahoma City bombing: not a separate paragraph
• 23:3423:34, 9 October 2014 diff hist −120 Timothy McVeigh →Oklahoma City bombing: what he said is already correctly reported in paraphrase. including it again as a direct quote and explicitly endorsing it in the voice of the encyclopaedia is not acceptable
• 23:3223:32, 9 October 2014 diff hist +8 Vocal learning format properly, and looks like a lot of OR here.
• 23:2823:28, 9 October 2014 diff hist +6 Mauritanian ouguiya don't use the word "only" if it's not the only one.
• 23:2723:27, 9 October 2014 diff hist −9 Broadway theatre If you were to give a reason why you want to interrupt the sentence and bury information in a footnote, that would be something we could discuss. if you deny that the interruption even exists, that's just bizarre.

• 13:2613:26, 9 October 2014 diff hist −9 Broadway theatre It doesn't work fine. Interrupting the article after just two words of the very first sentence is poor, poor writing. if a prior edit ignored it, it was probably because they didn't see it. what's the reason you think it needs to be buried in a footnote?

• 11:4011:40, 9 October 2014 diff hist −330 Caliphate "however" implies a contrast with the preceding statement, which obviously does not exist when the two statements are unrelated. Also rm final sentence which is copied directly from a source and offers no real information or enlightenment

• 11:2911:29, 9 October 2014 diff hist −161 Carol Smillie this article is not the place for puffery about "changing rooms"
• 11:2511:25, 9 October 2014 diff hist −9 Broadway theatre no need to interrupt the article after only two words. better to put this information in the main body of the article.
