- 08:2008:20, 8 January 2024 diff hist −1 m Christian Standard Bible The term "optimal equivalence" is not widespread and is variously defined, and its use in the CSB is mostly an attempt by Holman to avoid having to use the word "dynamic".
- 08:1708:17, 8 January 2024 diff hist −22 m Semantic equivalence (linguistics) →Bible translation: The term "optimal equivalence" in this sense is a euphemism used by a limited number of Bible publishers to avoid having to use the word "dynamic" for audiences that were told that "dynamic equivalence is bad"..

- 10:2610:26, 18 December 2023 diff hist +521 Titanic (1943 film) Citations from the cited reference. Heh-heh, Dunbar's commentary on the film isn't exactly neutral or objective. I'm not sure how reliable this reference is, but a previous editor added it, so I just checked what it actually says..
- 10:0710:07, 18 December 2023 diff hist −8 Titanic (1943 film) →Plot: In German, "Der Tod von 1500 Menschen blieb úngesühnt, eine ewige Anklage gegen Englands Gewinnsucht".
- 10:0010:00, 18 December 2023 diff hist +7 Titanic (1943 film) →Plot: The film does not state or imply that the iceberg was hit due to Ismay's recklessness. The captain is not portayed as weak-willed, and Ismay does not pressure the captain -- he orders the captain. According to the film, Ismay the authority to order the captain.
- 09:5409:54, 18 December 2023 diff hist +349 Titanic (1943 film) Rescued cited reference by moving it to the opening section. This is what the reference actually says. I'm not sure how notable this reference is, though.

- 08:4108:41, 18 December 2023 diff hist −39 Titanic (1943 film) →Plot: The Blue Riband is not mentioned anywhere in the film. Besides, the Riband relates to a ship's average speed, but Ismay's gamble is based on the ship's maximum speed. It is the ship's maximum speed that is revealed to the world press.
- 08:3908:39, 18 December 2023 diff hist −148 Titanic (1943 film) →Plot: There is no indication of "short-selling" in the film. The board simply sold their existing shares and then bought them again cheaply. Also, the board did not know what Ismay's secret was until he revealed it on the Titanic. Also, Ismay's secret is something that astute investors could have guessed anyway. The only possible "stock manipulation" that took place was Ismay telling the stockholders that the drop in share prices is "out of his hands". He told no other lies.
- 08:2708:27, 18 December 2023 diff hist −5 m Titanic (1943 film) →Plot: The smaller group is identified in the film as members of the board of the White Star Line.

- 08:1308:13, 18 December 2023 diff hist +152 Titanic (1943 film) →Plot: The key is that Ismay told the larger group one thing (that he is unable to do anything) and then told the smaller group something different (that he has a secret plan).

- 14:4814:48, 25 August 2023 diff hist +30 Hitlerjunge Quex (film) →Themes: I'm not even sure this belongs here, but I've updated the text to reflect the cited reference. This quote comes from a list of descriptions of the various cast members, and not the characters. Baird says that Meixner looks like this, not that Wilde is like this.
- 14:1214:12, 25 August 2023 diff hist −9 Hitlerjunge Quex (film) Calling it a "Nazi propaganda film" is a stretch, except that it was funded by the German government at the time when the Nazis were in power. The film provides commentary on both Nazi youth and socialist youth. Nazi and socialist characters in the film do both good things and bad things. The film doesn't try to convince the viewer to become a Nazi... any more than it might convince the viewer to become a socialist.
- 14:0714:07, 25 August 2023 diff hist −12 m Hitlerjunge Quex (film) →Plot summary: This is the Wikipedia editor's personal interpretation -- the film itself does not make this inference.
