- 04:1304:13, 6 December 2019 diff hist −77 Viking ship "dubious" is wrong. Maybe "ref. required or something, to be picky about it. This sentence is supported by various sources, including several other articles in W. If not "colonization". then why is part of France Called "Normandy"?

- 01:3501:35, 16 November 2019 diff hist −82 Type 91 torpedo →Anti-rolling controller: This is a slight expansion in the description of function, but still follows from what was there. The mechanism can work faster correcting the rate than it would correcting only the angle. Perhaps it can still be condensed a bit.
- 01:2201:22, 16 November 2019 diff hist −50 Type 91 torpedo →Anti-rolling controller: Not necessary. It was a sort of value judgement. The mechanism will not work if any part is missing.
- 01:1901:19, 16 November 2019 diff hist −72 Type 91 torpedo →Anti-rolling controller: Making it clearer. Sorry that this doesn't remove any "citation needed" tags.

The presence or absence of a wing is not essential to that function. Some people might not realize this unless the identity is pointed out by using the same word.
