John William Waterhouse
Corrected the label for his 6 April 1849 life event from date-of-birth to date-of-baptism (in both the Infobox and lede sentence). His precise date-of-birth is not known, but thought to be between 1 Jan and 23 Jan 1849. Because he died in the month of February (in 1917), I provided a January date for calculating his age at death, thereby correcting that from 67 to 68 years old.currentTag: 2017 wikitext editor

Surprise Lake (Arizona)
Change #1 (of 3): Corrected AZ Fish & Game to AZ Game & Fish (and then made the same mistake myself on the next line). #2 (of 3): Replaced deadlink to AZ Game & Fish webpage about Surprise Lake with a newer [living] link. (I assume the deadlink wasn't meant to be the concomitant 'surprise'.) #3 (of 3): Removed another AZ G&F deadlink but kept the link to its archive maintained by the Wayback Machine.Tag: 2017 wikitext editor

Arabic
→top: (1) Corrected 'number of vocabulary' to 'number of words'.<br/> A lexicon or language can acquire 'a number of words' or 'a vocabulary', but not 'a number of vocabulary'. (2) Suggested that not all such acquisitions from Arabic by the Greek and Bulgarian languages were through Turkish contact ... and (3) moved that clause to the end of the sentence.

List of islands by population
Updated population of the 6 Spanish islands listed, using official Government estimates for 1 Jan 2021. 4 of the 6 moved upwards, with Ibiza jumping 22 places (previous data was 16 years old). Ibiza's neighbour Menorca (pop. 95,936) will be eligible soon.Tag: 2017 wikitext editor

The Pale Beyond
→Development: OLD: "... their skillset would compliment each other." NEW: "... their skillsets would complement each other." WHY: As a verb, compliment means to make a remark of admiration, whereas complement means to add something different to complete the whole, with the latter meaning intended. That meaning is predicated on them not having the same skillset, and 'skillset' must therefore be pluralized. Note: The cited source avoids these issues altogether by not using either word.Tag: 2017 wikitext editor

(1) Added a source for his Royal Canadian Geographical Society role. (2) Removed the corresponding { { citation needed } } template. (3) Moved career details from the lead to the Career section (4) Removed ambiguity from "book of the same name". (5) Changed "His four other books include ..." to "His other works include ..." because at least one is available in other than book form, and he may yet write more.Tag: 2017 wikitext editor
