→Launch: removed parantheses on phrase following "visual design" and ended the sentence after "visually". Added "He also praised" in front of the list of other aspects, starting with "window management". The sentence was very awkward, meandering and resembled LISP code in its overuse of parantheses

Jesus at the home of Martha and Mary
→Interpretation: Deleted "her work is not as important or that" literally, Jesus says it's the better choice, and I think the rest if the sentence gets the point across perfectly well.

Jesus at the home of Martha and Mary
→Interpretation: added "set of contemplative acts" being superior "to the others". It doesn't make much sense to call just two items a "rigid hierarchy" (presumably prayer over action), or even call it "a hierachy" at all. By including "sets" of such actions, they can be arranged in a hierarchy, and be rigid or not. The other solution would be to simply remove "rigid", but I think I'm interpreting the author's original intent correctly, as the plural sets of action and contemplation.Tags: Mobile editMobile web edit

→In popular culture: removed "False Memory Syndrome has become so widely known that" It's not cited, and it would nearly impossible to make a convincing specific causal connection from being widely known to airing of shows and movies, anyways.

Duck and cover
→Historical and psychological assessment: I don't think just mentioning
The Atomic Cafe and Guy Oakes is sufficient without mentioning nuclear weapons were 1000 times more explosive as soon as '52 and even 1500 times more in '61. This is repetitive information with substandard references, but the alternative is to delete all the silly comparisons to Hiroshiman and Nagasaki

Duck and cover
→Cursory analysis: "worth noting... atom bombs not h-bombs" I think the previous descriptions of surviving Hiroshima should be deleted actually. As soon as seven years after WWII, nuclear weapons were equivlient to 10 million tons tnt vs 16,000 tons (16kilotons) of the Hiroshima explosion. Duck and Cover is pretty pathetic in light of this explosive power. ~~~~

Talk:A Canticle for Leibowitz
→Euthanasia: unsigned comment doesn't actually contribute anything other than disagreement:"I think it's very clear that he believes that euthanasia is a sin" - there is nothing 'clear' about it, whether 'very' or not. The issue is not resolved in terms of the author's position. (Not that his positions matters one iota, either way.)

→Description: removed {{citation needed}} because the book itself serves as it's own citation. It would look like "Reichs, Kathy Déjà Dead, August 25, 2015" There could also be page mentions, but as this setting is referenced not only in the book but, as a "Temperance Brennan Book 1", mentions appears in many places through the whole series! And the book is linked to it's own article...

Richard Denner
→Biography: changed "series poetry" into "poetry series". Websearches don't have much in results of "series poetry", which looks and sounds like a special type of poetry. I'm assuming it's just "poetry published as part of a series", therefore "poetry series" suits this as well, not denoting any special type of formal academic poetry forms.current

The Hustler
changed "hustling" to "playing" The word "Hustle" had more negative connotations, and was specifically about cheating at pool. "Professional hustling" would be an oxymoron back then. "Professional players" gambled on their best skills, not in an effort to deceive. Because of rap/hip-hop, "hustling" doesn't have those negative connotations now. Probably a reason why the Color of Money wasn't called "The Hustler II"

"Truffles" seemed to be legal in various European countries as opposed to "mushroom"(which is the fruit of the fungus) US law was more specific about anything containing psilocybin, so "truffles" were never sold legally in the US
