00:2600:26, 29 March 2021 diff hist +2‎ Talk:Line splice ‎ →‎A splice or splicing?
00:0200:02, 29 March 2021 diff hist +449‎ Talk:Line splice ‎ →‎A splice or splicing?: new section

00:0100:01, 12 March 2021 diff hist −8‎ Word order ‎ readability "This notwithstanding"? Oh, please, never again.

13:5013:50, 5 March 2021 diff hist +20‎ History of computing hardware (1960s–present) ‎ Ok, so how about this: "Around 1953 - 1959, discrete transistors started being considered sufficiently reliable (...)"? Now the reader see the process that took several years to complete, at least according to what you have written in the article discussion.
13:3313:33, 5 March 2021 diff hist +13‎ Trolleybus ‎ Perfect. Good for you. Your logic is even better :-) But how about this? "Trolleybus systems employ overhead wires above the roads, often shared with other vehicles." BTW: "on which they travel" is clearly redundant. But we can leave it, of course.

15:3115:31, 4 March 2021 diff hist +3‎ Trolleybus ‎ →‎Comparison to motorbuses: logic: Trolleybus systems employ overhead wires above the roads used also by other vehicles.

18:5618:56, 1 March 2021 diff hist +871‎ Talk:History of computing hardware (1960s–present) ‎ →‎Misleading sentence: "By 1959 (...)": fantastic explanation
15:3615:36, 1 March 2021 diff hist +1,015‎ Talk:History of computing hardware (1960s–present) ‎ →‎Misleading sentence: "By 1959 (...)": new section
14:1614:16, 1 March 2021 diff hist +169‎ Talk:Franz Kafka ‎ →‎Ambiguous sentence: You are right, now I see it clearly. Thanks :-)

23:1223:12, 28 February 2021 diff hist +368‎ Talk:Franz Kafka ‎ →‎Ambiguous sentence: new section
22:5422:54, 28 February 2021 diff hist +9‎ History of computing hardware (1960s–present) ‎ "by 1959" means "not later than 1959", and I don't think it was the intended meaning; See: https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/by_1 Tag: Reverted
22:1722:17, 28 February 2021 diff hist −19‎ Atari Corporation ‎ 1. readability: "all but" instead of "almost"? Oh, please, never again. "all but" is one of the most illogical idioms ever, and confusing for non-English speakers; 2. "as a result" was redundant - "consequently" means "as a result"
21:5021:50, 28 February 2021 diff hist −1‎ Atari Falcon ‎ sounds more natural
20:3620:36, 28 February 2021 diff hist 0‎ Transistor computer ‎ If you can ONLY speak English, then you can't write or read in English. If you can speak ONLY English, then English is the only language you know. Tag: Reverted
20:1420:14, 28 February 2021 diff hist 0‎ Talk:Amantadine ‎ →‎Time to add a Section on use in Sars-CoV-2: typo
17:2717:27, 28 February 2021 diff hist +946‎ Confectionery ‎ Wrong definition. Confectionery is not the art of making confectionery, like sweets are not the art of making sweets, like pizza is not the art of making pizza. Of course, there is also something like the art of making confectionery, but our article is about food. Tag: Reverted

00:0500:05, 27 February 2021 diff hist −4‎ Peter Pan ‎ He was more naughty than mischievous Tag: Reverted

23:0923:09, 26 February 2021 diff hist 0‎ BBC Books ‎ majority-owned
23:0823:08, 26 February 2021 diff hist 0‎ Fox Sports ‎ majority-owned
23:0623:06, 26 February 2021 diff hist 0‎ National oil company ‎ majority-owned
23:0023:00, 26 February 2021 diff hist 0‎ MAN SE ‎ restored; Look here: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/majority-owned Tag: Undo
22:0722:07, 26 February 2021 diff hist −52‎ Guthrie Govan ‎ Less poetry, more readability. And now you can "move on to later eras" ;)
18:0118:01, 26 February 2021 diff hist +10‎ WxFormBuilder ‎ Light, heat, sound can be emitted, but code? Code can be written, created or generated.
17:2417:24, 26 February 2021 diff hist 0‎ MAN SE ‎ "majority-owned" looks better than "majority owned" Tag: Reverted
02:5902:59, 26 February 2021 diff hist 0‎ Devil's advocate ‎ Restored. Of course it is an idiom. But why not use a more common plain English phrase instead of an illogical idiom. Does "common parlance" sound more clever or trendy? Do we want to sound more intelligent? Are we more intelligent than our readers? But Wikipedia is also for kids and less educated people. Does not readability matters? And, please, do not send me to Simple Wiki - it is not a serious alternative. Tag: Undo
01:4001:40, 26 February 2021 diff hist +8‎ Electric bus ‎ Not only "majorly" is informal but also misleading in the current context
01:2301:23, 26 February 2021 diff hist 0‎ Flywheel energy storage ‎ If you can ONLY speak English, then you can't write or read in English. If you can speak ONLY English, then English is the only language you know.

23:5623:56, 25 February 2021 diff hist 0‎ Devil's advocate ‎ readability: "common parlance", though widely used, is a very illogical phrase, and sounds like "common jargon", but the article is not about jargon Tag: Reverted
02:0002:00, 25 February 2021 diff hist −2‎ Self-defeating personality disorder ‎ I have just rendered the article more readable, Yes, it rendered me think ;-) Tag: Reverted
