• 02:3602:36, 9 August 2021 diff hist +1 Fulmar →Relationship with humans: Formatting mistake forgot to preview.
• 02:3202:32, 9 August 2021 diff hist +15 Fulmar →Hunting: Just realized the section made it sound like fulmars hunt. 'Upgraded' the section from a sub-section of the birds behavior to a full section about its relationship with humans. More sub-categories could be used if their interaction and relationship with humans and/or the meat or material humans use from them is expanded upon.
• 02:2602:26, 9 August 2021 diff hist +108 Fulmar →Exploitation: Editing for negative nuance of the imprecise term 'exploitation' which subtly biases (unintentionally or not) to an extreme animal welfare position and can potentially mislead readers. I understand that to exploit can be a neutral term, but I think 'hunt' conveys more precise and useful information. Fulmars don't appear to be endangered or even near-threatened and they're actually hunted (shot, netted, etc.) not just grabbed or something.

• 05:0605:06, 15 April 2021 diff hist −7 Wikipedia:Make technical articles understandable →Audience: Awkward wording and redundancy ("English language" instead of picking one or the other which means the same thing). Since this is an important article and I could see someone disagreeing, I won't mark my edit as minor.

• 04:5304:53, 15 April 2021 diff hist +36 Phonological change →Example from Middle English: Also it just seems clunky in general. It says an innovation "resulted merely in", but it is not clear why we are saying "merely". Its as though it expects me to understand what all of this means already. Tag: Reverted
• 04:4604:46, 15 April 2021 diff hist +38 Phonological change →Example from Middle English: ...Particularly this section is too technical. I was just looking for an intuitive example that could *show me* what it means and instead it throws terms like "structure-point" at me and I don't know what they specifically mean by "distribution" like is that how common the pronunciation is or is it to do with the placement of the tongue or what? This is for too technical and detailed for someone looking to be walked through an example...

I'm upset that this remained up and I'm only changing it for one day, but we don't have a crystal ball and this isn't the future.

• 21:2921:29, 22 October 2019 diff hist +1 Carl Benjamin Null edit more details to last edit: It is improbable that any and all political analysts regard him as far-right. Indeed, might need more editing, because a lot of those were simply calling him alt-right which may or may not be considered far-right if I understand correctly. Either way, maybe I should've used a different edit description, but without some it implies we know that everyone who analyzes politics believes that.
• 21:2521:25, 22 October 2019 diff hist +5 Carl Benjamin Undid revision 922550022 by Grayfell (talk) Its editorializing to say that it's not "some". Without "Some" it can imply all. I am not editorializing. Tag: Undo

• 16:2016:20, 20 August 2019 diff hist −13 Gacha game Fixing apparent bias towards gacha models. As far as I can tell issuing a "legal opinion" that makes something illegal is the same as making a statement that finds something illegal. The only reason to say its a "

Instead of saying its a flagship title, it would better to find the company calling it such or an outlet saying such and provide that further knowledge to the reader. Show don't tell.

• 18:1618:16, 28 May 2018 diff hist −19 Market capitalization Undid revision 843369673 by Repku (talk) No. Just okay, it doesn't work. Just makes it sound like there's only one "point in time" or something. Okay I'm done now. Tag: Undo
• 18:1418:14, 28 May 2018 diff hist +19 Market capitalization No I guess it is needed somewhere. But I don't think its necessary to mention after this. This is actually kind of hard so I'll leave this part alone.
• 18:0218:02, 28 May 2018 diff hist −36 Market capitalization I mean... yeah its just overexplanation. If people understand that share price changes over time, trying to mention time just makes things worse. Its just too much of a programmer's explanation for humans. They just have to understand that the share price and number of shares changes and assume its for a particular point in time.
• 17:5617:56, 28 May 2018 diff hist +36 Market capitalization No edit summary
• 17:5017:50, 28 May 2018 diff hist −8 Market capitalization Adding a "point in time" is over-explanation. If we go that deep, its not even a "point" really, but an average over a period of time. Calling it a point adds an unnecessary layer of confusion. We could have it if worded well enough, but I can't think how to do that right now without making a confusing sentence or using the word "current". Investopedia avoids it. I'll think on it more, but I think this works. Also, general clean up for readability.
