- 07:2307:23, 21 February 2010 diff hist +3 John Napier →Advances in mathematics: There is a difference between being a follower of someone or being someone's follower. For example, Jimmy Carter's follower was Ronald Regan.

- 06:5806:58, 21 February 2010 diff hist −32 John R. Napier It is actually insulting to tell people that England and Scotland are in the United Kingdom. That is common knowledge, just as the fact that Texas is in the U.S.A.

- 07:1307:13, 19 February 2010 diff hist +215 Robin Cousins →Biography: "freeskating" is not a word in the English language, and we don't need it, either. Use "free skating".
- 06:4806:48, 19 February 2010 diff hist +4 Strauss →Politicians: The District of Columbia does not have any Senators and is unlikely to ever get any. To state that someone is a Senator from there is quite misleading, especially to foreigners!

- 06:4506:45, 19 February 2010 diff hist −49 Strauss →Politicians: not "mayor of Dallas" but rather "The Mayor of Dallas, Texas". This post is important enough to be deserving of this.

- 06:3906:39, 19 February 2010 diff hist +93 Strauss →Other: Not "chief engineer", but "The Chief Engineer, just like "The Governor of New York" and "The President of the United States".

- 15:3915:39, 17 February 2010 diff hist +96 Fork bomb →Difficulty of cure: As is all-too-common on the Wikipedia, the previous writer was incapable of using the word {a, an, the, its, his, her} correctly. What has gone wrong in their educations?
- 07:3807:38, 17 February 2010 diff hist +3 Jennifer →Other: The number 1974 does not belong on the front. That violates all the rules of English rhetoric.

- 05:0205:02, 17 February 2010 diff hist −13 Out of Africa (film) No edit summary
- 05:0105:01, 17 February 2010 diff hist −2 Out of Africa (film) When the word "dollar" or the symbol $ are used, they are understood to be AMERICAN dollars, unless stated otherwise. In other words, this is the default value.
- 04:5804:58, 17 February 2010 diff hist +261 Out of Africa (film) →Technical: "Smoke box"? What on earth is that? Nonsensival terminology, and also the sentence used faulty grammar.
- 04:4504:45, 17 February 2010 diff hist +539 Out of Africa (film) I see a plague in the Wikipedia of using long words like "subsequently" when simple words like "later" or "and then" perform very well instead !!
- 04:1804:18, 17 February 2010 diff hist +291 Out of Africa (film) It is wrong to say "stars" and then include practically all of the cast. For example, the stars of "Star Wars" were Ford, Hamill, Fisher, & Guiness, and no more.
- 04:0004:00, 17 February 2010 diff hist +201 Out of Africa (film) This very high-quality and award-winning production long ago graduated to the level of a "film", rather than just a mere movie, such as "Wayne' World", for example.

- 09:3809:38, 16 February 2010 diff hist +12 Maria Celeste (disambiguation) In English, adjectives are to be given from most general to more specific. Consider, "An ancient Egyptian Pharaoh's tomb." General to specific.

- 09:0909:09, 16 February 2010 diff hist +511 Maria Celeste One may "consider" a difficult problem (in attempting to solve it), but one considers a purchase TO BE expensive in forming an opinion. The "to be" is absolutely necessary here.
