17 June 2024

  • 04:3804:38, 17 June 2024 diff hist +193‎ m California ‎ →‎top: Add an "archive-url" field [value] (and some 'related' fields, such as "|url-status=live") to the "ref" tag for footnote number "[15]". Also add a wikilink [pointing] to (the Wikipedia article about) "The Atlantic", right where (in the value of the "website" field of the "ref" tag for that same footnote) that name was already mentioned. Also, insert the word "and" before the last "list item", in a comma-separated list of innovations that California was "the point of origin of". current

16 June 2024

  • 21:2621:26, 16 June 2024 diff hist +30‎ BlackRock ‎ →‎top: Add a specific month ("December") to the value of the date field in the "ref" tag for footnote number "[3]", and add a new date field -- ("|date=January 9, 2020") -- to the "ref" tag for for footnote number "[4]".

13 June 2024

  • 09:5709:57, 13 June 2024 diff hist +601‎ Suzanne (Leonard Cohen song) ‎ →‎Background: Some additional changes to the [recently changed] "ref" tag for footnote number "[8]" (the first change in this "edit", being -- [perhaps] -- a 'correction' of a mistake ...'probably'). These "additional changes" include the addition of a "|quote=". Most of the other changes in this "edit", were resulting from the information in the value of that new "|quote=" field. current

9 June 2024

  • 23:2823:28, 9 June 2024 diff hist +128‎ Suzanne (Leonard Cohen song) ‎ →‎Background: Correct the "title" field in the {{cite web}} template instance in the "ref" tag for footnote number "[8]"; Also, add an "others" field, with two values.
  • 23:0023:00, 9 June 2024 diff hist +83‎ Cytokine ‎ →‎Discovery: Fix an incorrect wikilink from [the name of] the pathologist, "Stanley Cohen". DESPITE the fact that a "warning" was already in place, (immediately adjacent to this doctor's name) BEFORE the 'Revision as of 09:37, 17 April 2024', saying "(not to be confused with the Nobel laureate)", [that WARNING was apparently not seen / followed, and] a hyperlink from the name of [the MD pathologist] Stanley Cohen was inserted, linking to the wrong Dr. Cohen. current

7 June 2024

  • 20:5220:52, 7 June 2024 diff hist +711‎ Merkos L'Inyonei Chinuch ‎ →‎top: UPDATE the value of the "archive-url" [field] in the "ref" tag for footnote no. "[1]", and add a COMMENT that explains (or at least ... "mentions") the reason why this update was [thought to be] necessary. I "tried" clicking on the hyperlink in the version of this article wherein that "archive-url" field had just been newly added, and, let me just say that ... I am confused about why the URL displayed when it DOES work, is different from the URL that must be used [first], to get there. current
  • 20:0720:07, 7 June 2024 diff hist +676‎ Merkos L'Inyonei Chinuch ‎ →‎top: update the last sentence of the first paragraph, which listed "Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky" as the vice-chairman of this "umbrella" Chabad-Lubavitch educational organization. This update was needed because Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky died in June 2024.

6 June 2024

  • 04:4404:44, 6 June 2024 diff hist −6‎ Adposition ‎ →‎top: Break the last sentence of the second paragraph into two sentences, partly because the first half of it was already pretty long. Also, expand [what is now] the second of those two sentences, to include the possibility of (for example) a prepositional phrase that modifies a noun (and hence, functions as an adjective, not as an adverb). current
  • 04:1904:19, 6 June 2024 diff hist +250‎ Parenthesis (rhetoric) ‎ →‎Types: Add some explanatory information, such as [a] a guide regarding how to find the parenthetical phrase in each bulleted example in this section (namely, by finding the phrase that is displayed in an italic font); and [b] the fact that it is appropriate to use the term "parenthetical" phrase, even when the phrase is not "delimited" by (= surrounded by) brackets [such as, round or square brackets]. current
  • 03:5503:55, 6 June 2024 diff hist 0‎ Apposition ‎ →‎top: Change the word "appositions" to "appositives" in the sentence starting with the adverb "Traditionally". When the word "apposition" is used, it is typically in a prepositional phrase such as "in apposition", and [hence] it is a "mass" noun (= an "uncountable" noun), which is not suitable for being "pluralized" by adding a suffix such as the letter "s". The correct use of the countable noun "appositive" (singular or plural, without or with an "s"), is introduced earlier in this article. current

3 June 2024

  • 21:0121:01, 3 June 2024 diff hist 0‎ m Emerson College ‎ →‎The EVVY Awards: Correct a minor TYPO (or grammar or spelling) mistake. (Change one word, from: student's --> To: students'). The word being changed now, should be both possessive AND plural. Hence the apostrophe belongs after the second letter "s", not after the second letter "t". current

26 May 2024

  • 06:2306:23, 26 May 2024 diff hist +34‎ Phallus ‎ →‎top: Add some wikilinks to the caption for the picture "NAMA Phallus ailé.jpg", without changing the spelling of the words displayed. The only 2 changes are: [A] add a wikilink [pointing] to [the article about] "Attica", where the [capitalized] word "Attic" was already appearing in the caption (to help readers who might not know that "attic" can have another meaning besides 'a part of a house'); and [B] add a link pointing to "Red-figure_pottery", where it says "red-figure". current

24 May 2024

  • 20:0820:08, 24 May 2024 diff hist +256‎ Baal teshuva ‎ →‎top: Add a "|quote=..." field to the "{{cite web}}" template instance for footnote number "[1]". NOTE that this quote is one that includes a wikilink [pointing] to the article about the word "frum" ... as part of the title -- ("Becoming Frum") -- of a book by 'Sarah Bunin Benor'. In connection with (or "inspired by") this, CHANGE to use the word frum -- (in place of the word "stringent") -- in the first sentence that has [a hyperlink to] an instance of footnote number "[1]". current

16 May 2024

  • 19:5619:56, 16 May 2024 diff hist +14‎ El Shaddai ‎ →‎top: Change the part about the word ''shaddai'' and its plural, in Biblical Hebrew and in Modern Hebrew [respectively]. Please feel free to make further corrections if this is still not right, but it is clear that the English word "(plural)" -- in parens -- was *** out of place *** before this edit ... right between the English phrase "Biblical Hebrew" and the (SINGULAR!) ["Biblical Hebrew"] word, "שדי". So this is a step in the right direction.
  • 18:3918:39, 16 May 2024 diff hist +1,126‎ Limousine liberal ‎ →‎top: CORRECT [the value of] the "title" field (was this "{{cite web}}" template instance composed -- perhaps -- by some robot? or what?) and enhance some of the other fields, in *** the "{{cite web}}" template instance *** for footnote number "[2]". Add -- (among other things) -- a "QUOTE" field ... for which it was hard to choose one "quote" to include ... because this interview is so chock FULL of amazingly juicy QUOTEs. ["!"] That is why it was so difficult, to choose just "one" of them! current
  • 18:1418:14, 16 May 2024 diff hist +1‎ Teach For America ‎ →‎Criticism: CORRECT a small [1 byte] (TYPO...or other) error introduced during a recent EDIT to this section of this article. The final field of the "{{cite news}}" template instance for footnote "[24]" was followed by an extra "field separator" character -- "pipe" or "|" character -- that was not needed. The error message was confusing -- (to me) -- until I clicked on the "help" link ... which gave a better explanation. Also, this edit got away from me before I finished typing this comment.
  • 18:0418:04, 16 May 2024 diff hist −1‎ Teach For America ‎ →‎Criticism: CORRECT a small (one character) error ()
  • 18:0018:00, 16 May 2024 diff hist +249‎ Teach For America ‎ →‎Criticism: ADD an "archive-url" field to the "{{cite news}}" template instance in the "ref" tag for footnote number "[24]". Also add some other fields (some related, such as "archive-date", and others just previously "missing", such as "date" and "author"). Note that even though the "url-status" field is still omitted, if that is interpreted by some readers -- or robots! -- to 'imply' "|url-status=dead", then that would not be far off. The web page still exists, but ... behind a "pay wall".

15 May 2024

  • 22:2322:23, 15 May 2024 diff hist +12‎ Sheryl Sandberg ‎ →‎Facebook / Meta Platforms: Add "(as of 2012)" to a sentence with footnote number "[26]", since that 'reliable source' is from 2012. (and apparently, it can be found [only] at the "archive-url", since [it says] the 'url-status' = "dead".) Also, change the verb in that sentence to the past tense, since -- (besides the fact that 2012 was in the past) -- Sheryl Sandberg is no longer the Chief Operating Officer of Meta Platforms (e.g., Facebook) since about a year and a half ago ... August 2022.
  • 21:0221:02, 15 May 2024 diff hist +1,230‎ North Lamar Independent School District ‎ →‎District Administration: Add a footnote (whose links do not require any entry of a "password"), to the entry for "Superintendent", which still links now to the same URL it pointed to before -- (namely, "http://www.northlamar.net/page/administration") -- but that [old] URL seems to require the person viewing the destination website to have to enter a "password"; so ... the link[s] included in this new footnote might be more practical for the use of some readers of this Wikipedia article. current

14 May 2024

  • 20:0620:06, 14 May 2024 diff hist 0‎ Transduction (physiology) ‎ →‎top: Modify the "{{Cite book}}" template instance in the "ref" tag for footnote number "[1]". Change the field name of the field that has a value of "Lodish, Harvey F." already. That value properly belongs to a field with the name "author"; so, change the old field name, "others" -- (which was wrong! Was it put here by some well-intentioned robot? ...who created [or modified] this "{{Cite book}}" instance, here in this "ref tag" at some time in the past?) -- to the NEW field name, "author".

13 May 2024

  • 05:3205:32, 13 May 2024 diff hist +34‎ m Julian Huxley ‎ →‎top: UPDATE the value, which a list -- (using a "{{Ubl}}" template instance) [as in, "{{Unbulleted list}}"] -- of the field whose 'field name' is displayed as "Institutions", in the "{{Infobox scientist}}" near the top of this article. The OLD "Institution" previously shown first in that list, was displayed as "Rice Institute" -- which _is_ correct, "as of" the early days at Rice, where Huxley was one of the original faculty members. ADD [the explanation] "(now Rice U.)"

  • 20:0320:03, 28 April 2024 diff hist +15‎ DePauw University ‎ →‎History: In the paragraph beginning with "As of July 2020," ADD a wikilink [pointing] to [the article about] "Lori White", ... (but, still *** displayed *** as "Lori S. White" -- *with* the middle initial included) ... right at the exact place where that name ("Lori S. White") was already appearing -- with a middle initial -- in the text of that paragraph.

26 April 2024

  • 18:3718:37, 26 April 2024 diff hist +47‎ m Joseph Silk ‎ →‎top: Make some MINOR corrections to [the template instance in] the "ref" tag for footnote number "[1]", close to the value of the only entry in the "Doctoral students" field of the "{{Infobox}}" near the top of this article. The value of the "title" field was changed to be "Max Tegmark / Professor of Physics", since that name is displayed in a large, *bold*, RED font. The character string "MIT Department of Physics" was kept as -- instead -- the value of the [newly added] "publisher" field. current

22 April 2024

  • 04:4504:45, 22 April 2024 diff hist −6‎ m Hy Gardner ‎ →‎top: Correct a minor TYPO in which the {{cite news}} template instance in the "ref" tag for footnote number 2 had some incorrect content -- about half a word of cosmic dust (perhaps from the last half of the third-to-last word of the URL in the "url" field?) -- appearing [until now] before the first *correct* word, at the beginning of the value of the "title" field. current

21 April 2024

  • 11:3211:32, 21 April 2024 diff hist +1‎ m Lauren Sánchez ‎ →‎External links: CORRECT a minor TYPO in the spelling of a name. The name ("Laura Sánchez") did not match the spelling ["Lauren Sánchez"] that was contained in the * * * domain name * * * ("laurensanchez.com") in the URL that was nearby ... in the same "External links" entry.
  • 10:2610:26, 21 April 2024 diff hist −9‎ m Radiative forcing ‎ →‎The second sentence of this article: REMOVE the single (unnecessary) tag "<nowiki/>" which was added -- [for no good reason?] -- circa [the "Revision"] "as of 04:05, 19 April 2024". This tag is un-paired, and is ^H^H *was* the ONLY occurrence of "nowiki" in this entire article. Yet another "picayune nitpick" that does not have to remain on the "to do" list. [Also, this tiny change will have no effect -- that I know of -- on the way in which that paragraph will be *displayed* to the reader.]
  • 09:4609:46, 21 April 2024 diff hist −1‎ m Radiative forcing ‎ →‎top: MINOR [ONE character] change, to correct a grammatical error. ("can independently measured it" --> "can independently measure it"). This might have been due to a TYPO. Explanation: as you can see from the preceding [parenthetical] presentation of the "before" and "after" versions, the verb [to] "measure" is preceded by the word "can" ['!']; so it should be an 'infinitive' verb form, not a past tense -- nor a past participle -- verb form. Now there is one less "picayune nitpick" to fix.

18 April 2024

  • 08:2008:20, 18 April 2024 diff hist +1,348‎ Louis Jacobs ‎ →‎top: Add a footnote, linking to an online explanation (an article posted on the website of 'The Times of Israel') with the title "The Jacobs Affair: A Theological Storm from Within". Put that footnote right at the exact place (in the lede paragraph) where the phrase << what became known as the "Jacobs Affair" >> was already appearing in the final sentence of the first paragraph of this article.

14 April 2024

10 April 2024

  • 01:3401:34, 10 April 2024 diff hist +39‎ Allomorph ‎ →‎Past tense allomorphs: Include an explanatory phrase -- "(that is, listed in order of priority)" -- to clarify the meaning of the last word -- ["ordered"] -- of the phrase "together with the fact that the environments are ordered". Some readers might not *need* this "clarification", (for example, if they have already read the last word, i.e. "priority", of the *following* sentence, while they are still trying to parse *this* sentence); but otherwise, having this "clarification" should help. current

7 April 2024

  • 05:1805:18, 7 April 2024 diff hist +843‎ Six degrees of separation ‎ →‎Small world: Fix a dead link in the "url" field of the {{cite web}} for the "ref" tag for footnote number '[11]'... "mainly" by adding an "archive-url" field, etc. Rather than [only] updating the OLD {{cite web}} template instance, it seemed to be better to also include -- as a separate {{cite web}} -- a link to the place (found via a "search") to which the 'old' web page [apparently] got MOVED ["!"]. I hope that is correct.
  • 03:5103:51, 7 April 2024 diff hist −2‎ m Six degrees of separation ‎ →‎Small world: Change the word "attributed" to "credited" one place. Note that ... the word "attributed" is used 2 other places in this article, and ... THOSE 2 places ... it was already [before now] being used correctly.
