- 13:5113:51, 29 August 2024 diff hist −386 Emil Kapaun →External links: Good Thief episode is not about Kapaun, but about another chaplain. Even the Wayback page is now kaput. The FrKapaun.Org pages are about the cause for his canonization, and no need to have two of them. Military Times page kaput, found another (if somewhat different). Rearranged the links in order of biographical relevance. current

- 14:0314:03, 29 July 2024 diff hist +64 Clemens Herschel Three mistakes in one sentence! Frontinus was not the designer of the system, which was centuries old when he took charge of it; Frontinus didn't write the manuscript — on the contrary, the copyist was already copying a manuscript that was partly illegible and not by Frontinus either; and Herschel didn't 'find' (suggesting 'discover') the manuscript, which had been known since the 15c. Also, "1973" as a publication date for Herschel's book makes no sense. current
