• 01:38 01:38, 23 February 2014 diff hist −1,759‎ Language ideology ‎ Undid revision 596710243 by Cnilep ( talk)I removed original research, yes it had sources but they were synthesized to advance a position.

• 01:27 01:27, 23 February 2014 diff hist −1,121‎ Linguistic anthropology ‎ Undid revision 596710301 by Cnilep ( talk)Check the paragraph! It has a source in it, but that supports merely one fact in a paragraph which is otherwise entirely original research.
• 00:05 00:05, 23 February 2014 diff hist −1,121‎ Linguistic anthropology ‎ →‎Ideologies: Removed blatant original research, POV.

22 February 2014

• 21:17 21:17, 22 February 2014 diff hist +7‎ Language ideology ‎ →‎Linguistic Ideologies in Speech Act Theory
• 20:37 20:37, 22 February 2014 diff hist 0‎ Linguistic purism ‎ "have often the force of law"? Seriously? Funny how even in the very first paragraph of pages about linguistic subjects, Wikipedia's grammar still sucks! Changed to "often have the force of law".
• 20:32 20:32, 22 February 2014 diff hist −1,785‎ Language ideology ‎ Removed much original research, stripped section down to Lippi-Green's definition. Using the Tollefson quote is original synthesis and it has already been noted on the talk page the linguistic profiling cite does not mention language ideology

17 February 2014

• 02:43 02:43, 17 February 2014 diff hist −113‎ President of Portugal ‎ This is not relevant in the lede. We already have a "Role" section to describe these details.
• 02:33 02:33, 17 February 2014 diff hist +8‎ Prime Minister of France ‎ →‎History
• 02:25 02:25, 17 February 2014 diff hist −270‎ Prime Minister of France ‎ Wrong. In many Parliamentary republics, the President can choose whomever he wants. It is convention that makes them choose the leader of the largest party in the legislature, but also backed up by the vote of no confidence if they choose anybody else.
• 00:17 00:17, 17 February 2014 diff hist −1,960‎ Cultural imperialism ‎ Why's this here? Where does Stiglitz use "Cultural imperialism" or touch on the subject as described in this article? What I see here is Stiglitz talking pros/cons of globalization and critiquing institutions, nothing about culture at all. Removed section
• 00:10 00:10, 17 February 2014 diff hist −444‎ Colonization ‎ No, this is incorrect. As Neocolonialism article explains, neocolonialism is a pejorative accusation that former colonial powers continue to exert great influence on their former colonies, it requires no overthrowing of governments. Removed the section.

15 February 2014

• 02:09 02:09, 15 February 2014 diff hist +151‎ Federalism in India ‎No edit summary
• 01:44 01:44, 15 February 2014 diff hist −224‎ Constitution of India ‎ A source for what? I am removing unsupported material, and you ask I supply a source... removing material cannot be Original Research! There is no debate India is federal see this government page: http://india.gov.in/my-government/constitution-india
• 01:26 01:26, 15 February 2014 diff hist −224‎ Constitution of India ‎ Again, saying the Indian constitution got "Unitary government" from the Canadian constitution is nonsensical as both of them are federal, not unitary, states. The rest of this sentence is vague and we have no citation to check, so it should be removed.
• 01:07 01:07, 15 February 2014 diff hist +4‎ Federalism in China ‎No edit summary
• 01:03 01:03, 15 February 2014 diff hist −177‎ Federalism in China ‎ Wrong. As the devolution article itself states in its lede, devolution is not the same as federalism. Similarly, decentralization is not the same as federalism, unitary states can be fairly decentralized.
• 00:48 00:48, 15 February 2014 diff hist +13‎ Constitution of India ‎ →‎Adoptions from other constitutions: Adding the dead link tag to here, to draw more attention to this.
• 00:46 00:46, 15 February 2014 diff hist −38‎ Delhi ‎ How can Delhi be "India's only one city-state" when it is not even a state, but a union territory, as this same paragraph confirms?
• 00:36 00:36, 15 February 2014 diff hist −224‎ Constitution of India ‎ →‎Adoptions from other constitutions: Both India and Canada are federations, not unitary states, so this makes no sense. Removed it.
• 00:32 00:32, 15 February 2014 diff hist −15‎ New Delhi ‎ →‎Post-independence: This doesn't describe diarchy. Diarchy is a system in which two individuals fulfill the role of head of state.

14 February 2014

• 22:17 22:17, 14 February 2014 diff hist 0‎ Constitution of Turkey ‎ →‎History: See previous edit.
• 22:13 22:13, 14 February 2014 diff hist −60‎ Constitution of Turkey ‎ →‎History: The Ottoman Empire was not the "modern Turkish state" so this doesn't count. Removed it from the list.
• 01:31 01:31, 14 February 2014 diff hist +15‎ Open-source model ‎No edit summary
• 01:22 01:22, 14 February 2014 diff hist −489‎ Open-source model ‎ Removed this citation. It seems unrelated to the statement it is attached to. Brooks' law is about the number of Programmers on a project, whereas the statement is about he opening of source code.

13 February 2014

• 19:07 19:07, 13 February 2014 diff hist −1,431‎ Spin (propaganda) ‎ Removed examples. Neither of these is a reliable source declaring something spin. Rather it is sourced information that a Wikipedia editor has declared spin. This is both POV and OR. Tag: section blanking
• 19:00 19:00, 13 February 2014 diff hist −1,181‎ Spin (propaganda) ‎ →‎Examples: No "spin" did not occur here. Spin is a slanted presentation of the facts, where was the presentation here? If the government actually had taken Moore's advice and released something, that might be spin. But as it is nothing was presented.
• 18:45 18:45, 13 February 2014 diff hist −743‎ Non-denial denial ‎ Removed original research. That this constitutes a non-denial denial is a POV and not in the citation provided. The allegations Jay Carney denied were present tense, so the fact he only referred to the present doesn't make his denial a non-denial denial. Tag: section blanking
• 01:18 01:18, 13 February 2014 diff hist +2‎ Politician ‎ Changed the linked article to the word "conquest" from the article on "Right of conquest" to the article on "Conquest (military)". The latter covers the general concept (which the word in this article refers to) rather than a specific rule relating to it.
• 01:11 01:11, 13 February 2014 diff hist −61‎ Politician ‎ Electoral fraud is really a corrupt way of winning elections (which are already mentioned in this list) rather than a separate means of power. Similarly divine right isn't a way of appointing leaders but a theory used to justify their power. Removed these

11 February 2014

• 20:22 20:22, 11 February 2014 diff hist +4‎ Anthropology ‎ Grammar.
• 00:53 00:53, 11 February 2014 diff hist −228‎ Allopathic medicine ‎ →‎Current: Removed unsourced and probably POV statements.

9 February 2014

• 19:39 19:39, 9 February 2014 diff hist −13‎ Health care in France ‎ Assuming this isn't a formal or official (English translation) name for any service in France, we shouldn't use it like it is. Replaced "National Health Service" with the more broad term "government".
• 18:30 18:30, 9 February 2014 diff hist +14‎ Health care in France ‎ →‎History
• 18:21 18:21, 9 February 2014 diff hist −7‎ National health insurance ‎ →‎Types of programs: Corrected grammar of one sentence (removed a double negative), changed the position of another to reflect what I think is the intended meaning.
• 18:14 18:14, 9 February 2014 diff hist −12‎ National health insurance ‎ →‎Types of programs: Restructured sentence to make it more grammatically correct, meaning unchanged.
