- 11:2411:24, 26 February 2024 diff hist +412 College Park Elementary School Lead section: add “ghost school” in Port Moody, British Columbia, Canada that seems to have been used as recently as 2014 but became surplus and was consequently closed and is still closed as of 2024 January; qualify “the United States” as the /contiguous/ United States. This page should possibly be refactored by someone who wants to volunteer more time than I have spent on this edit now that the list of schools has expanded to include Canada in addition to the (contiguous) United States. current

- 05:0805:08, 6 February 2024 diff hist −71 m Volvo 900 Series Infobox for Volvo 940: field for longitudinal length of vehicle: follow convention used even elsewhere in this very same infobox that a measurement is given only once if the measurement is the same for multiple body types of the same model of vehicle. I found it confusing how the length was given separately for the saloon and estate body types when the measurement was exactly the same for both body types at least with the resolution used in this context, which is one millimetre.

- 22:2822:28, 23 September 2023 diff hist +219 Minicom Minicom 2.9 was released yesterday (2023‑09‑22); minicom runs in Cygwin too; Kermit on DOS, including FreeDOS, is an alternative to minicom on GNU+Linux for using an old notebook computer as a serial terminal emulator; “Windows 2003” should be “Windows Server 2003”.
15 September 2023
- 07:1707:17, 15 September 2023 diff hist +1,503 Talk:IPhone 15 Pro →Proposed merge of Draft:iPhone 15 Pro into IPhone 15 Pro: I concur that the two articles should be merged and provide examples of articles about other consumer products that are not split like articles about recent iPhone models. Well, actually, the PlayStation (console) may not be the best example here because we have articles on the specific generations such as the PS one and the PlayStation Classic but I am not being paid to edit Wikipedia so I used the first examples I thought of.

2 August 2023
- 20:5620:56, 2 August 2023 diff hist −2 m List of Moto Guzzi motorcycles →Current and recent models: Change “mid-sixties” to “mid-1960s” per Manual of Style. Yes, I know that it could only be interpreted as 1960s from the context of an ICE vehicle but maybe this article will still be around in 2070, in which case no one will think the 2060s was being referenced, haha. I wonder if I will even still be around in 2070, will be aged 83 years instead of 36 years.
1 August 2023
- 04:1104:11, 1 August 2023 diff hist +158 m Quiet PC Sources: Correct “mac69k.info” to “mac68k.info”; archive PicoPSU review on SPCR because the URI of this review now redirects to an article about best power supplies that does not mention the PicoPSU, only fanful power supplies and fanless AC to DC ATX12V power supplies rated for hundreds of watts so super overkill for replacing a PicoPSU.
20 July 2023
- 08:5608:56, 20 July 2023 diff hist +23 m Ford F-Series (eleventh generation) →Trim levels: Change the seemingly insufficiently precise “speed control” to “non-adaptive automatic speed control”, not sure about the retronym to use but apparently the F-Series now has adaptive automatic speed control and (manual) speed control is standard equipment called the accelerator pedal. ;-)

1 June 2023
- 13:2313:23, 1 June 2023 diff hist 0 m David Eby Categories: change “1977 births” to “1976 births” because the article says Eby was born in 1976, which matches the tweet by Eby himself that is reference number 2.

- 20:3120:31, 31 May 2023 diff hist +30 m Inter-Asterisk eXchange →Basic properties: Fix redundant initialism syndrome: change “VoIP protocol(s)” to “Voice over Internet protocol(s)”. Someone who is spread less thin than me should try to have the name of the category “VoIP protocols” to which this page belongs corrected to fix this same form of redundant initialism syndrome.

- 14:2414:24, 17 April 2023 diff hist +65 m List of tallest buildings Add to note about Taipei 101 to say that it is still the tallest building outside of the United Nations despite no longer being the tallest building on the planet since 2010 because the current Republic of China is not part of the United Nations since 1971, when the RoC lost its seat in the UN to the PRoC.

- 01:1001:10, 8 March 2023 diff hist −13 Software supply chain →Usage: Calling a spreadsheet as a concept, not a specific software, a “Microsoft Excel document” as if Excel is the only spreadsheet software ever used is absurd so change this misnomer to simply the generic term “spreadsheet”; personally I prefer Quattro Pro for Windows and soon to be LibreOffice Calc because I want this awesome formula marker feature that Quattro Pro for Windows has that soon LibreOffice Calc should have too: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97551

- 11:0611:06, 16 February 2023 diff hist +102 Jeep Liberty (KJ) →CRD in North America: Mostly copyedits; the only real change in meaning is that the CRD in North America was only sold with an automatic transmission, for which my source is some article about the diesel Liberty clanging into view that I am pretty certain was a source for some Wikipedia article. Yes, it is currently source number 6 for the Jeep Liberty article, which does not say in the article either except for the source that the CRD was only sold with an automatic transmission.

Also add artist Gay Mitchell, who is the woman who painted the center panels for the 3 quilts.

The correct term is “Windows 4.x”, not “Windows 9x”, because the final release of the original Windows series, ver. 4.9 from 2000, has the marketing name “Windows Me” but is part of the same 4.x family.

- 14:1414:14, 9 January 2023 diff hist 0 m Jeep Liberty →Second generation KK (2008–2012): Hyphenate “economy conscious” because it is used to qualify “buyers” in this context so is an adjectival phrase, not separate words.
18 December 2022
- 12:4212:42, 18 December 2022 diff hist +14 m IPhone 14 Pro →Lead: The addition of satellite connectivity is more precisely the addition of /bidirectional/ satellite connectivity because even the original Apple iPhone from 2007 already had receive-only satellite connectivity in the form of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver.

31 October 2022
- 05:1305:13, 31 October 2022 diff hist −43 m Area code 808 Listing Oahu and Honolulu separately seems strange so list Oahu and say that it includes Honolulu; avoid informality and conflation by referring to mobile (telephone) numbers instead of to cellular telephones, which are actually handheld computers with an integrated cellular modem; remove spam link about hotels in Greece from External Links section, which likely still contains spam but I have not opened any of the links from this section, am only judging by the links themselves.

5 September 2022
- 01:3101:31, 5 September 2022 diff hist −256 Hyundai i30 →i30cw: Remove Elantra Touring specifications page on HyundaiUSA.com Web site as a source because this page is gone from the live Web site and the Wayback Machine returns a page from the correct Web site but that only says that a Flash player is required. Also add specifics about the two models of transmissions, which I know from owning a manual-transmission Elantra Touring since 2014 June and from reading, including the owner’s manual, about the automatic transmission and from 1 test drive

I have photographs of this drive with a ruler measuring the height in case anyone does not believe me, can have Google host the images again or can publish the images on my own self-hosted Web site.

- 20:2920:29, 2 August 2022 diff hist +30 m Area code 229 Explicitly say that the list of cities covered by this area code is a list of cities as opposed to counties or possibly something else because, as someone not too familiar with the US state of Georgia, I did not know if these places are cities or counties or possibly something else until I redd the lead section of these articles in the hovercards; correct some grammatical errors, independent of the article subject; change “46 years” to “forty-six years”.
