Down in the River to Pray
Fixed some outdated language, changing most uses of the word "slaves" (which implicitly frames the institution of slavery as legitimate) to "enslaved people" or "victims of slavery", which is the preferred terminology.Tag: Visual edit

Prince Andrew, Duke of York
Cleared up slightly confusing wording which previously could have been interpreted as saying that the allegations were that the sexual abuse was committed upon Prince Andrew rather than that the allegations were that he had committed sexual abuse.Tag: Visual edit

Neuropsychopharmacology
Significant changes to many areas, clearing up poorly researched, poorly written and outdated information where I could and adding appropriate citations. Greater restructuring and rewriting may still be warranted, as there was a great deal of outdated or simply misguided stuff here. The final section, in particular, seems rough and biased, and while I patched it up a little, I didn't really have much of an idea what to replace it with, so it's mostly still intact.Tag: Visual edit

Uyghurs
→Chinese internment camps: Altered statement claiming there were only two genders, as well as using gender where sex was presumably intended due to the mention of procreation. This additionally cleared up some ambiguous phrasing that seemed to imply that these genders were Uyghur specific.Tag: Visual edit

Dopamine releasing agent
Replaced "abuse" with "recreational use", as "frequently abused" is rather subjective, whereas "frequently used recreationally" is less so. Moreover, "abuse" has inherently negative connotations and, even were you to establish objective criteria for when something qualifies as 'abuse', would still carry a value judgement against it by association.Tag: Visual edit

Thalictrum flavum
→Description: Cleaned up a wide variety of errors in the phytochemistry section, including clarifying that pavine N-methyltransferase is itself not an alkaloid but an enzyme involved in alkaloid biosynthesis, and correcting the spelling of thalidezine. Also changed up language somewhat to account for the altered contents.Tag: Visual edit

Etoxadrol
Fixed typo in "phencyclidine" in the caption for one of the images, and removed the erroneous claim that tenocyclidine contained a phenyl ring, clarifying that it instead contained a thiophene ring which is bioisosteric with a phenyl ring.Tag: Visual edit

Etoxadrol
The sources listed do not say that Etoxadrol is an irreversible inhibitor. One of them DOES say that the meta-isothiocyanato analog is an irreversible inhibitor, but not that Etoxadrol itself is (in fact, it's highly unlikely that Etoxadrol is).Tag: Visual edit

Furfurol
Furfurol, despite possibly having a similar pronunciation, would refer not to furfural, an aldehyde, but furfuryl alcohol, in the same sense that propanol is not a synonym for propanal but one for propyl alcohol.Tags: Redirect target changedVisual edit
