• 17:4917:49, 15 October 2023 diff hist −39 Terminal ballistics Delete "also known as wound ballistics". Wound ballistics is the study of what happens when a projectile enters animal (including human) tissue and causes a wound. Terminal ballistics is the study of what happens when a projectile hits anything. You could say that wound ballistics is a sub-field of terminal ballistics, but they are not the same.

• 16:4716:47, 25 February 2022 diff hist −32 m Putler Copy edit to the quote from the Vladivostok regional committee. The English is now correct, but it's not clear what "came to an end" means. Did he commit suicide, or just go out of business? And was he an employee, or did he own the car dealership? I don't speak Russian, and none of the online translation systems give a convincing result. Can a Russian-speaking anglophone resolve this?

20 June 2019

• 09:5709:57, 20 June 2019 diff hist −15 m Gueules cassées Changed "refused passing a checkpoint" to "refused entry", as "refused passing" is a Gallicism and "checkpoint" makes one think of a military operation on a road.

• 15:2215:22, 13 September 2018 diff hist −5 m Medical neutrality Link to article about attack on ICRC personnel in Chechnya: fixed broken link, changed "ambushed" to "attacked" (because in English you can't ambush a building) and tidied up the rest of the sentence.

30 July 2018

• 14:4614:46, 30 July 2018 diff hist −1 July Crisis Changed translation of "Der Stänker" from "The stinkers" to "The stinker", as the der Stänker is the singular (plural would be die Stänker). In fact, Stänker normally means troublemaker, even though the literal meaning is "smelly cheese", but I've left "stinker" as otherwise you lose the logic of everyone holding their noses!

29 July 2018

• 15:0415:04, 29 July 2018 diff hist −1 m Yser Removed un-needed space after "Nieuwpoort" and before the full-stop in the introduction.
• 10:1010:10, 29 July 2018 diff hist −2 Austria-Hungary Changed the English translation of the national anthem title from "God receive God protect" to "God save, God protect." Because a) While the German verb "erhalten" can mean to receive, if we're talking about a parcel, a message, or suchlike, it can also mean to preserve, conserve, save, or similar, and that's the only one of the two meanings that makes sense here. b) That is the wording used in the article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gott_erhalte_Franz_den_Kaiser#1854_version. ~~~
