• 02:4302:43, 17 February 2024 diff hist 1,335 Talk:Casualties of the Israel–Hamas war →An archive link is needed at the top; and the topic needs vastly better treatment: Frustrating, yes. It is not obligatory, nor desirable, for Wikipedia to choose the stupidest and most careless sources, some of which unwittingly propagate politically coloured memes.
• 00:1700:17, 17 February 2024 diff hist 3 Talk:Casualties of the Israel–Hamas war →An archive link is needed at the top; and the topic needs vastly better treatment: Typo.
• 00:1500:15, 17 February 2024 diff hist −1 Talk:Casualties of the Israel–Hamas war →An archive link is needed at the top; and the topic needs vastly better treatment: Forgot edit summary (and fixed typos now): So many power-grabs, campaigns of deception, and mindless spreading of pernicious memes [in Wikipedia editing] – as if hot war in the real world were not enough.

• 17:2617:26, 16 February 2024 diff hist 935 Talk:Casualties of the Israel–Hamas war →Six problems with "the majority of whom were women and minors": I have asked ONLY that the figures (uncertain as they are) be presented plainly, at the outset. Without interpretation or omissions, working in accord with WP:CALC as needed. That's all! ☺
• 17:1317:13, 16 February 2024 diff hist −23 Talk:Casualties of the Israel–Hamas war Refactored to make my further comments part of the section to which they pertain, by making this a subsection: === An archive link is needed at the top; and the topic needs vastly better treatment ===; very minor fix to the text, consequent on that change: "the issue I raised HERE".

• 23:0023:00, 14 February 2024 diff hist −2 Wikipedia:Proper names and proper nouns →The philosophy approach leads to confusion in encyclopedia work: Removed "intuitited" [sic] and replaced it with "discovered": "most of the answers can be discovered easily at [[WP:MOS] ...". The verb "intuit" is not accurately used here; it would needlessly puzzle some readers.

• 05:4905:49, 13 February 2024 diff hist 6 Wikipedia:Proper names and proper nouns →Scope and convention: Fixed my own work.
• 05:4705:47, 13 February 2024 diff hist −607 Wikipedia:Proper names and proper nouns →The two proper-naming ideas are radically different in kind as well as effects: Much better section heading: == The two approaches to proper names differ in kind, as well as in their effects ==; copyedited the subsection === Scope and convention ===. Corrected errors there: the differences for Spanish and so on are not indicators of different attitudes to "proper names", nor to expressions derived from them or otherwise associated with them.
• 05:1905:19, 13 February 2024 diff hist −164 Wikipedia:Proper names and proper nouns →The philosophy definition produces policy failures: Copyedited: accuracy, clarity, evenhandedness, etc. I removed a wikilink (about "signifying") that led nowhere.
• 04:5804:58, 13 February 2024 diff hist −6 Wikipedia:Proper names and proper nouns →Disagreements within, not just between, linguistics and philosophy: Corrected a link to Amazon that failed: https://amazon.ca/dp/1783094907 .
• 04:5404:54, 13 February 2024 diff hist 3,710 Wikipedia:Proper names and proper nouns →Divergent themes concerning proper names, in linguistics and philosophy: A footnote to illustrate concretely the many points that precede. It shows both communalities and differences between the concerns of the two overlapping literatures: the philosophical and the linguistic.
• 02:1102:11, 13 February 2024 diff hist 46 Wikipedia:Proper names and proper nouns →The philosophy approach leads to confusion in encyclopedia work: Copyedited here also: accuracy, moderation, clarity, etc. Removed "Whippets", which not only is a common noun but also is lower-cased at the article that was linked here. Removed "Teflon", which though capitalised as a trade name is neither a proper name nor derived from nor relevantly associated with one.
• 01:4701:47, 13 February 2024 diff hist −744 Wikipedia:Proper names and proper nouns →Mixing the two concepts does not work: Copyedited this section: accuracy, clarity, simplicity, balance, moderation in expression.
