- 22:3122:31, 16 November 2023 diff hist −106 Presbyopia Listing treatments in sidebar that are discussed in the "Treatment" section of the article. Removing redundant citations and excessive spacing. Tag: Reverted
- 22:3122:31, 16 November 2023 diff hist −81 Wikipedia:Guide to addressing bias "try as you might, you'll never prove the author wrong" doesn't make sense as a shorthand here. "side effect" doesn't seem right, and that whole sentence is unneeded. WP:RSP is among the first things you should check when uncertain about a source, so that should definitely be included. Tag: Reverted
- 22:3122:31, 16 November 2023 diff hist +597 Wikipedia:Increase your chances Adding nutshell. Removing first-person voice, which is left over from when this was a userspace essay. Fixing bad grammar and awkward phrasing. Improving recently added section on what to do when the citation may not actually support the claim. Better explaining lead sections, which no longer appear above the table of contents. Tweaking the beginning to "How to suggest the change", since it is noted above that it shouldn't always be taken straight to the article talk page. Tag: Reverted
- 22:3122:31, 16 November 2023 diff hist −2,073 Wikipedia:Everything you need to know It may be OK to cite something produced by the subject; the point is that independent sources are needed also. Defining "significant viewpoint" first, to avoid confusion about what it means. If a view is too fringe to be mentioned in a broader article, a See Also link likely wouldn't appear there either. Original research is not limited to analysis of *primary* sources. Shortening things that are redundant or too detailed for a summary page. Full sentences. Using name of actual baseball player.

- 22:3022:30, 16 November 2023 diff hist +54 Mark Geragos The pardon was not requested on January 20, 2001. That is when it was granted. The cited source was actually a dead link, but you can see from the archive that Geragos is not mentioned: https://web.archive.org/web/20030206224333/https://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/01/25/eveningnews/main537972.shtml The new LA Times source does mention Geragos.

- 22:3022:30, 16 November 2023 diff hist −15 Opioid epidemic in the United States →History: It was not a rebuttal to the letter itself. The problem was not the letter, but the way it was misrepresented, as explained at Porter and Jick. Tag: Reverted
- 22:3022:30, 16 November 2023 diff hist +156 Addiction Rare in Patients Treated with Narcotics Improving article structure, so that "Jane" and "January 10" appear in the body. Better explaining how this letter came about and why such misrepresentations might have later occurred. It's unfair to say that the letter itself "suffered" from anything. The number of citations was compared to that of letters from nine different issues, not just that same issue. Replacing partial quotes, to better reflect the whole of what was said. Tag: Reverted
- 22:3022:30, 16 November 2023 diff hist −594 Charles Ingram Moving up trial details so that events are in chronological order. Removing unnecessary and highly subjective phrasing, such as "He was taking brazen risks and playing the game in an unusual manner" Tag: Reverted

- 01:2301:23, 16 November 2023 diff hist +9 Tower of London →General bibliography: Using journal template for three which were apparently from journals. The book template caused an error with the "work" parameter. Tag: Reverted

- 05:0505:05, 15 November 2023 diff hist −53 1896 Summer Olympics The "cite book" template doesn't have a "work" parameter, and thus this caused a citation error. I'm not quite sure what this is intended to refer to, but if it's a chapter, use the "chapter" parameter. Tags: Undo Reverted

- 03:4103:41, 14 November 2023 diff hist −17 Criticism of Wikipedia Grammar. Alternatively, this could be split into two sentences. Tag: Reverted
- 03:1803:18, 14 November 2023 diff hist +18 List of political editing incidents on Wikipedia My guess is that these were intended to be separate citations. If I'm wrong, my apologies. I won't change the third instance of this, since I do see what the reasoning might be there.
- 02:4002:40, 14 November 2023 diff hist +115 History of Wikipedia →References: I'm not clear on what the purpose of these two citations is. I would have raised this on the talk page, but it seems easier just to flag it where it is. Tag: Reverted
