Voynich manuscript
Removed rebuttal from Gibbs section, because they were all from blogs. Gibbs himself describes the Latin abbreviations as "idiosyncratic" several times here: https://www.the-tls.co.uk/freedom-books-flowers-moon-september-17/

Voynich manuscript
Removed another enthusiastic link to Nicholas Gibbs' theory, and reinstated a section heading as "Historical decipherment claims". This Wikipedia page shouldn't be a repository for all single-instance Voynich theory claims, that's not what it is for.

Voynich manuscript
Trimmed recent Nicholas Gibbs Voynich theory down: and there's indeed a strong case for removing it entirely (original research, appearing only in a single article in the TLS).
