29 November 2009
- 01:1501:15, 29 November 2009 diff hist 387 RSA problem I labeled this as "wrong" in my previous edit and I realize that it's not; I was just confused as to what it was saying. I've re-added it, linking to a source that characterizes it more thoroughly.
- 00:2600:26, 29 November 2009 diff hist 765 RSA problem full revision prompted by a particular error that was apparently in this article since April 2005.

- 13:2613:26, 1 November 2009 diff hist −23,690 Thin client rv. false positive by ClueBot: This edit was quite constructive, even if it deleted many many characters.
6 June 2008
- 05:1805:18, 6 June 2008 diff hist 98 NP-completeness I rewrote the introduction to be more accessible to the layperson, and I eliminated the example there because it only talked about how the subset-sum problem was NP, but not how it was also NP-hard.
4 June 2008
- 17:5417:54, 4 June 2008 diff hist 115 2008 Democratic National Convention Fine, I'll defer to Rrius's position, but I think we should highlight that Barack Obama is only the candidate conditional on the superdelegate votes.
- 14:4014:40, 4 June 2008 diff hist −93 2008 Democratic National Convention rv. to draft 2008-06-03 17:48 by Rrius. Reason: Guys. There are roughly 680 superdelegates; Obama only has a 125-delegate lead in pledged delegates. Obama hasn't won yet. Seriously.

- 14:4214:42, 11 January 2008 diff hist −12 Lie-to-children →Example: Recast relativity as disagreement, so that it makes more sense to someone who hasn't seen relativity before.
28 December 2007
- 11:0911:09, 28 December 2007 diff hist 590 Principle of relativity →Basic relativity principles: Re-added a blurb about the symmetry-conservation connection. (I'm pretty sure one used to be here, but I no longer see it around.)

18 October 2007
- 14:3414:34, 18 October 2007 diff hist 5 m Dijkstra's algorithm →Lay descriptions of the algorithm: Whoops, wrote "vertex" where I should have written "edge".
- 14:3314:33, 18 October 2007 diff hist 993 Dijkstra's algorithm →Layman's description of the algorithm: Added a knotted-web explanation that I was introduced to at Cornell University.

- 10:3210:32, 11 September 2007 diff hist −1,416 Chili powder Moved page to chili powder. (If we're going to call them chili peppers, consistency demands that their powder should be called chili powder.)
- 10:3210:32, 11 September 2007 diff hist 2,202 Chili powder blend Move from Chile powder. (If we're going to call them chili peppers, their powder should be chili powder.) Reworked the article; added references where possible. Added stub template.

- 16:4816:48, 9 August 2007 diff hist −111 Stefan–Boltzmann law →Appendix: Quick rewrite of the opening of this section, so that it fits better with the revamp I did above.
- 16:4716:47, 9 August 2007 diff hist 1,734 Stefan–Boltzmann law →Integration of intensity derivation: Major revamp of the section, so that the logic is easier to follow for someone who knows calculus but has never seen the derivation before.
11 July 2007
- 11:4111:41, 11 July 2007 diff hist −3 m Naram-Sin of Akkad Changed a link from Nagar, Pakistan to Nagar, Syria. Naram-Sin *certainly* did not establish a center of government in Pakistan.

- 00:1100:11, 5 July 2007 diff hist 175 International Space Station →Criticism: Re-adding a pull-quote that was deleted among a bunch of other edits a while back. I happen to think that it concisely sums up the tone of ISS criticism, for whatever that's worth.

- 07:0107:01, 2 July 2007 diff hist 342 Talk:Kepler's laws of planetary motion →Very long proofs
- 06:5706:57, 2 July 2007 diff hist 1,428 Kepler's laws of planetary motion New (simpler) 2nd law derivation, composed of two parts adapted from two listed references. Emphasizes the equivalence of the 2nd law to conservation of angular momentum.
15 June 2007
- 18:1018:10, 15 June 2007 diff hist 232 International Space Station →Criticism: Reworked the first couple paragraphs to make sentences flow into each other better; added a bit on modern ISS research. Attempted to cite critics' names more often.
