- 07:0707:07, 29 June 2024 diff hist +14 m Ticket to Ride (board game) This edit corrects a disambiguation 'free link' accidentally left in the last edit that I just performed. This edit was at the request of an automated editor warning sent to my personal page (editor's warning) notifying me of this problem, and it was a small change, therefore I have classed this as a 'minor edit'.

- 00:3400:34, 10 June 2024 diff hist −11 Lady Jane Grey This edit removes the word "excellent", as is not needed in the sentence, adding nothing beneficial to it. However, its use suggests a "value judgement", inappropriate for an encyclopedic article. It also has ambiguity. Is it suggesting her education was of a high standard, or "humanist" learning is inherently superior. Unless in a quote, it should be omitted, e.g. commenting on the standard of her education he wrote "the humanist education she received was excellent" etc.

- 13:3113:31, 9 June 2024 diff hist +913 User:SMargan This change updates the "Previous Wikipedia contributions" table with the most recent edits made to the "Ticket to Ride (board game)" Wikipedia article and the "Lady Jane Grey" Wikipedia article.
- 13:0413:04, 9 June 2024 diff hist +1 Ticket to Ride (board game) According to the "As d'Or" Wikipedia page, in 2005 the award was just known as the "Golden Ace", i.e. As d'Or in French. However, this was the year that the French "Game of the Year" merged with the "Golden Ace". The official award title is in the French language, but an English translation is used, as this is an English Wikipedia. The way of phrasing this title in this edit is a better approach than previously used, in continuity with the other entries in the table & the award's history.

- 13:2913:29, 29 May 2024 diff hist +1 Ticket to Ride (board game) Undid revision 1224001247 by Dillguy9 (talk) [UNDO]: I am not sure I agree with this prior edit by Dillguy9 (talk). The "Board Game Review" score was "4.7 out of 5", not "4.7 out of 10", as his edit suggested, according to the source provided in the 'inline citation'. Let's talk about this in the talk section, if it is contentious. Tag: Undo

Weekly 'inline citation'; 3) Converts the "Rotten Tomatoes" info into the standard Wikipedia tag format & updates the rating.
