• 21:27 21:27, 18 June 2019 diff hist −18‎ Paul Allen ‎ →‎Aerospace: WP:weasel wording. That something has been reported is almost always off topic & unnotable. Everything included has been "reported" because that's what's required to be includable. If we said "it was reported" for every purport, most of the page would be filled with "it was reported"s. If a source is reliable and it words something as a true fact, then we paraphrase that and also word it as a true fact, without resorting to WP:weaselly "a (particular) source said X".

• 19:26 19:26, 17 June 2019 diff hist −36‎ Paul Allen ‎ →‎Aerospace: Removed the source from the main text where it is almost always off-topic (as it is here). Also, "seems" is an editorial WP:OR. The source says so directly so it can be s

• 16:24 16:24, 6 June 2019 diff hist −369‎ Wingsuit flying ‎ →‎History: Nah, just delete it. (Extremely dubious/false uncited data)
• 16:22 16:22, 6 June 2019 diff hist +184‎ Wingsuit flying ‎ →‎History: 300 horizontal and 30 down makes for an L/D of 10:1 which is extremely dubious for such a low aspect ratio. The numbers here are almost certainly false.

• 18:46 18:46, 1 June 2019 diff hist −14‎ Circus peanut ‎ Corrected WP:weasel wording. Missing "him".
• 18:43 18:43, 1 June 2019 diff hist 0‎ Circus peanut ‎ Wikipedia doesn't go 'round spreadin' rumors. ( WP:weasel wording. Still needs citations.)

• 21:57 21:57, 31 May 2019 diff hist −31‎ Sea anchor ‎ →‎Use: what people know is off topic, speculation about it (or anything) is unencyclopedic

• 22:46 22:46, 28 May 2019 diff hist −136‎ Holy orders in the Catholic Church ‎ →‎Clerical celibacy: Removed dubious uncited assertions. I removed only the *most* dubious parts, but the whole paragraph is questionable as to "who says?", or "by what definition?", because whole paragraph is uncited.
• 22:25 22:25, 28 May 2019 diff hist −21‎ Howard James Hubbard ‎ →‎Episcopal career: Removed WP:weasel wording, unnecessary anyway.
• 22:23 22:23, 28 May 2019 diff hist +12‎ Howard James Hubbard ‎ →‎Episcopal career: Fixed incomplete sentence. Split paragraph.
• 22:13 22:13, 28 May 2019 diff hist +33‎ Howard James Hubbard ‎ →‎Episcopal career: Split long paragraph
• 22:07 22:07, 28 May 2019 diff hist −42‎ Howard James Hubbard ‎ →‎Episcopal career: Reduced excessive use of unnecessary unnotable quotes. Paraphrased them instead. We're supposed to paraphrase (secondary) sources, not repeat them.
• 21:46 21:46, 28 May 2019 diff hist +4‎ Howard James Hubbard ‎ →‎Controversy: Unnecessary and unnotable as quotes. Paraphrased and removed the quote marks.
• 21:42 21:42, 28 May 2019 diff hist −358‎ Howard James Hubbard ‎ →‎Controversy: Off topic. Unencyclopedic implication of bad conduct based solely on other unrelated bad conduct. Tag: references removed
• 21:19 21:19, 28 May 2019 diff hist −141‎ St. Patrick's Cathedral (Midtown Manhattan) ‎ →‎Terrorism: WP:weasel ("reporedly") not supported by source. Retained good source however, and moved it elsewhere where it could be used.
• 20:57 20:57, 28 May 2019 diff hist +2‎ Transubstantiation ‎ →‎Patristic period: split run-on
• 20:54 20:54, 28 May 2019 diff hist −809‎ Transubstantiation ‎ →‎Patristic period: Original conclusion ( WP:OR) based on primary sources. Sources are written by GW himself and don't discuss his general beliefs but specific issues. The multiple primary sources essentially say "see, my (original) conclusion is correct because look, here are some examples". Would actually need reliable secondary source(s) drawing that conclusion. Also, "many" is subjective, and it's a digression off topic onto GW. Tag: references removed
• 18:27 18:27, 28 May 2019 diff hist −8‎ Person (Catholic canon law) ‎ →‎Age of majority: redundant "general" (a common misuse of "consensus" which means "general agreement" and already contains the idea of "generality"))

• 01:59 01:59, 25 May 2019 diff hist +12‎ Procrustes (short story) ‎ →‎Plot summary: Clarified some ambiguous pronouns. It looks like Shaeffer is being referred to by his last name while everyone else is by first name.

• 09:31 09:31, 24 May 2019 diff hist −7‎ TRAPPIST-1 ‎ Undid revision 898504271 by Robert.Allen ( talk) We're supposed to be *paraphrasing* secondary sources, and only quoting them when the quote itself is notable. There's no clear reason to repeat the particular three words as a quotation, nothing notable there. Tag: Undo

• 22:32 22:32, 23 May 2019 diff hist −11‎ Habitability of red dwarf systems ‎ →‎In fiction: It's unencyclopedic for an editor to second-guess (his) reading of the source right in the main text itself. Just paraphrase the source straightforwardly.
• 22:25 22:25, 23 May 2019 diff hist −7‎ TRAPPIST-1 ‎ →‎Tidal locking: No need for the quotes, it's an ordinary paraphrasing of secondary source. Quotes here have the effect of making it look as if the writer thinks it's a little dubious.
• 21:35 21:35, 23 May 2019 diff hist +258‎ Known Space ‎ It's not the poles that are in vacuum. Revised the description to fit the wording in "Crashlander".
• 20:57 20:57, 23 May 2019 diff hist −68‎ Known Space ‎ Removed two remaining unneeded citation tags. (Same reasons as previous)
• 20:32 20:32, 23 May 2019 diff hist −1,231‎ Known Space ‎ →‎Technology: Removed uncited WP:OR (some editor's personal analysis).
• 20:01 20:01, 23 May 2019 diff hist −34‎ Known Space ‎ Removed unneeded citation tag. Sources for in-world "facts" from works of fiction is always the work of fiction itself. Although, the *specific* Niven work (and page) containing this is unclear, that's true for every other fictional "fact" in this article and in other WP articles like it. Requiring "chapter and verse" citations in works of fiction could be done I suppose, but not doing it seems to be universally acceptable.

• 15:51 15:51, 22 May 2019 diff hist −173‎ Maryland Toleration Act ‎ →‎Description: Weaselly wording. Worded so as to make the ref a primary source. Just one author's opinion. Dubious -- the distinction between such anti-insult and other anti-blasphemy is marginal and strained. Notability of the opinion not established by the primary source for it. Tag: references removed
