- 10:5110:51, 24 May 2024 diff hist +288 Xenophon Undid revision 1225322615 by 137.45.165.59 (talk) The report in itself could be notable in this case. Also, if there is evidence that Diogenes is mistaken that is interesting but please bring a source to confirm it. current Tag: Undo

- 20:2520:25, 19 May 2024 diff hist −361 Genetic studies of Jews Undid revision 1224672675 by 2601:243:820:650B:D9F2:BD07:BB31:9E48 (talk) The lead should reflect the body. Maybe the Yardumian article should be in the body, but it is not now (discussed a year ago, but no conclusion; archive 8) Tag: Undo

- 19:0019:00, 18 May 2024 diff hist −40 Margaret II, Countess of Flanders →Ancestry: The relationships can be looked at by clicking on links. Not really less verifiable than footnotes? The sourcing most importantly needs to be in the referenced articles bodies which this table simply summarizes and links to. current
- 18:5618:56, 18 May 2024 diff hist +830 Margaret II, Countess of Flanders Undid revision 1224457445 by Aldebaran69 (talk) not an improvement in this case, as her ancestry is quite interesting. If there is a verifiability problem what is it? (The names can be clicked, showing relationships for each person.) Tag: Undo
- 18:5218:52, 18 May 2024 diff hist +45 Heruli →Name: clarity current
- 12:3812:38, 18 May 2024 diff hist −64 Ethnicity →top: these added words are not needed, because ancestry is already needed; more generally we need to be careful about extending opening sentences until they become unreadable lists

- 14:4714:47, 15 May 2024 diff hist 0 Arbogast (magister militum) →top: the simpler spelling is more common in English works I think, and it is the one I think we want to use most throughout the article, so let's put it first
- 14:4314:43, 15 May 2024 diff hist −69 Germanic peoples →top: I agree with getting rid of occupied, however the problem with "indo european" in NOT concerning consensus about language relationships but about (1) purportedly all speaking a language related to say Hindi is not simply the same things as being within a "people" together with them (or having any other connection at all) and (2) this is the opening line and it seems odd to say that the most important and defining thing about these peoples is the FAMILY their purported language is in.

- 09:4909:49, 15 May 2024 diff hist +3 Low Countries →top: I don't think there is a standard universal way of using the term wrt these extra bits

- 09:4509:45, 15 May 2024 diff hist −15 Low Countries →top: although an interesting topic, the Latin term is not well known. It is in the body but throwing it parenthetically into the opening line can unfortunately only create confusion
- 06:0406:04, 15 May 2024 diff hist −9 Niccolò Machiavelli →top: tweak, avoiding the play metaphor which I don't think Machiavelli ever uses

- 10:1410:14, 12 May 2024 diff hist −81 Chatti run-on sentence; there is no consensus etymology AFAIK, and it is not in the body of the article. We should one day have a section about the different proposals, but even then this is not something for forcing into the first sentence
