• 01:4701:47, 29 May 2024 diff hist +129‎ m P. D. James ‎ →‎Omnibus editions: Added the 1996 omnibus edition to the list, having recently bought it.

1 May 2024

• 02:3202:32, 1 May 2024 diff hist +1‎ m Scharnhorst-class battleship ‎ Changed the spelling of "Helgoland" to reflect the title on the linked page.

28 April 2024

• 18:2018:20, 28 April 2024 diff hist −7‎ m Carolyn Seymour ‎ A continuation of my previous edit re the role that Carolyn played in the 1975 TV series. "Daisy" was the character's nickname, not her real name; also, I deleted one instance of it for the sake of concision.
• 17:4617:46, 28 April 2024 diff hist +8‎ m Carolyn Seymour ‎ Corrected the titles of the character Carolyn played in Edward the Seventh
• 17:4117:41, 28 April 2024 diff hist +50‎ m Carolyn Seymour ‎ Corrected and linked the 1975 TV series Carolyn appeared in, and added the episode names (having just rewatched the series)
• 17:3717:37, 28 April 2024 diff hist −44‎ m Timothy West ‎ Very slight editing for concision re Timothy's real-life sons playing the king's sons.

17 February 2024

• 03:3003:30, 17 February 2024 diff hist +2‎ m Princess Clémentine of Orléans ‎ Added missing accents to Clémentine's name, fixed some punctuation, and fixed the name of her father in the sentence where she was stated to be his last surviving daughter. By the way, there's a line that I dispute the accuracy of: The first sentence under the heading "Marriage." Another Wikipedia editor, FW, also disputes the accuracy of the line. I agree with FW and add that Clémentine's Catholicity would have been an additional disqualification, especially for marriage into Protestant houses.

12 February 2024

• 00:3800:38, 12 February 2024 diff hist +8‎ m Annie Dookhan ‎ In the para. that begins "Dookhan's story," I reworded the sentence that mentions Sonja Farak to make it clear that Farak worked in a different lab than Dookhan's.

31 October 2023

• 02:0902:09, 31 October 2023 diff hist +2‎ m Timothy West ‎ Corrected spelling of character whom West played in Murder Is Easy (1982). The movie used the title from the US edition but English pronunciation, so the second syllable was omitted, as is standard ("Gloucester" is pronounced "Gloster," for example). The TV-movie provided no cast of characters--just listed the actors.
• 00:3000:30, 31 October 2023 diff hist +62‎ m Timothy West ‎ Just watched *Murder Is Easy* and saw that it was missing from West's TV roles

3 July 2023

• 21:2221:22, 3 July 2023 diff hist +88‎ m The Murderbot Diaries ‎ Just re-read (again) the relevant part of *Exit Strategy*, and realized that there were two shuttles involved in the Palisade/gunship battle--one boarding shuttle from the Palisade ship and one shuttle that Mensah et al had arrived at the gunshop on. Martha Wells neglected to mention that the gunship also destroyed the Palisade boarding shuttle. I glossed over this by saying that the gunship destroyed all the other ships.
• 20:5720:57, 3 July 2023 diff hist +19‎ m The Murderbot Diaries ‎ Wishing to re-read the Murderbot series, I checked their publication history and plot summaries here and noticed what I thought was an error in the plot summary of *Exit Strategy"--that Mensah's team went to the gunship and then came back to the station. I re-read ES and confirmed that, yes, there was indeed only one shuttle trip to the gunship, and that Mensah, her team, and SecUnit were on it.

1 July 2023

Fixed.

30 October 2022

• 02:3702:37, 30 October 2022 diff hist +89‎ Vivian Pickles ‎ Am on a Midsomer Murders binge-watch, so added Pickles' appearance in a 1999 episode. (I've been a huge fan of hers since Elizabeth R in 1971.) Also spruced up the next sentence.
• 02:0202:02, 30 October 2022 diff hist +16‎ m Frank Middlemass ‎ Added the episode of Midsomer Murders that Frank appeared in, having just watched it. Also rewrote the next sentence so that "2005" appeared later in it.

• 00:5500:55, 21 November 2021 diff hist +7‎ m Queen Dowager Zhao ‎ Added airdate for The Legend of Haolan, but couldn't find an airdate for the Qin Dynasty Epic as the latter isn't listed in Zhu Zhu's filmography.
• 00:4800:48, 21 November 2021 diff hist −7‎ m Queen Dowager Zhao ‎ Changed age at death from 52-51 to 51-52 so she didn't appear to have aged backwards. Rewrote graf that had begun "In 221 BC" so it made sense.

• 01:0501:05, 6 October 2021 diff hist −1‎ m The Hound of the Baskervilles ‎ In the 2nd graf under "Inspiration," corrected "internment" to "interment." The Fall of the House of Usher notwithstanding, one has to be dead to be interred.

19 May 2021

• 04:4704:47, 19 May 2021 diff hist +42‎ m Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester ‎ In my last change under "Further reading," I added a book under "Davis" that i subsequently found was authored by him and series-edited by Mary P. Lucy, so I deleted the Lucy info. Added ISBN.

• 19:0419:04, 15 May 2021 diff hist +22‎ m Jeff Morrow ‎ Rewrote last para to change "survived by his late wife" to the more sensible "survived by actress," as one cannot be survived by somebody who is already dead. Also changed the info on his daughter to match what the NY Times said her married name was (with a hyphen) and what the IMDb said was her date of birth (1950, not 1948) and added her professional name.

Also changed the reference to the male servant who hated her dog from "her servant," to "one of her servants," since she had many.

6 February 2021

• 11:3611:36, 6 February 2021 diff hist +150‎ m Blue Star Ferries ‎ Continuing my work on this page, added a comma and the word "serving" for ferries that have changed names and are still in service for other lines.
