• 00:0300:03, 25 December 2024 diff hist −1 m War and Peace Changed "eldest" to "elder" with respect to Nikolai Rostov, as there are only two sons in the family.

• 16:5216:52, 30 September 2024 diff hist −1 m Charles Bennet, 1st Earl of Tankerville Revised the spelling of "Bridget Bennett" to the version with one "t," where the link currently goes. (Bridget got her last name from her husband, and it read very oddly on this page to have her sporting two t's while her husband had only one.) current

17 September 2024

• 15:0115:01, 17 September 2024 diff hist 0 m Maria Theresa Corrected spelling of Joseph II's second wife, Maria Josepha (was "Josephe")

28 April 2024

• 18:2018:20, 28 April 2024 diff hist −7 m Carolyn Seymour A continuation of my previous edit re the role that Carolyn played in the 1975 TV series. "Daisy" was the character's nickname, not her real name; also, I deleted one instance of it for the sake of concision.
• 17:4617:46, 28 April 2024 diff hist +8 m Carolyn Seymour Corrected the titles of the character Carolyn played in Edward the Seventh

• 17:3717:37, 28 April 2024 diff hist −44 m Timothy West Very slight editing for concision re Timothy's real-life sons playing the king's sons.

17 February 2024

• 03:3003:30, 17 February 2024 diff hist +2 m Princess Clémentine of Orléans Added missing accents to Clémentine's name, fixed some punctuation, and fixed the name of her father in the sentence where she was stated to be his last surviving daughter. By the way, there's a line that I dispute the accuracy of: The first sentence under the heading "Marriage." Another Wikipedia editor, FW, also disputes the accuracy of the line. I agree with FW and add that Clémentine's Catholicity would have been an additional disqualification, especially for marriage into Protestant houses.

12 February 2024

• 00:3800:38, 12 February 2024 diff hist +8 m Annie Dookhan In the para. that begins "Dookhan's story," I reworded the sentence that mentions Sonja Farak to make it clear that Farak worked in a different lab than Dookhan's.

31 October 2023

• 02:0902:09, 31 October 2023 diff hist +2 m Timothy West Corrected spelling of character whom West played in Murder Is Easy (1982). The movie used the title from the US edition but English pronunciation, so the second syllable was omitted, as is standard ("Gloucester" is pronounced "Gloster," for example). The TV-movie provided no cast of characters--just listed the actors.
• 00:3000:30, 31 October 2023 diff hist +62 m Timothy West Just watched *Murder Is Easy* and saw that it was missing from West's TV roles

3 July 2023

• 21:2221:22, 3 July 2023 diff hist +88 m The Murderbot Diaries Just re-read (again) the relevant part of *Exit Strategy*, and realized that there were two shuttles involved in the Palisade/gunship battle--one boarding shuttle from the Palisade ship and one shuttle that Mensah et al had arrived at the gunshop on. Martha Wells neglected to mention that the gunship also destroyed the Palisade boarding shuttle. I glossed over this by saying that the gunship destroyed all the other ships.
• 20:5720:57, 3 July 2023 diff hist +19 m The Murderbot Diaries Wishing to re-read the Murderbot series, I checked their publication history and plot summaries here and noticed what I thought was an error in the plot summary of *Exit Strategy"--that Mensah's team went to the gunship and then came back to the station. I re-read ES and confirmed that, yes, there was indeed only one shuttle trip to the gunship, and that Mensah, her team, and SecUnit were on it.

1 July 2023

Fixed.

• 02:3702:37, 30 October 2022 diff hist +89 Vivian Pickles Am on a Midsomer Murders binge-watch, so added Pickles' appearance in a 1999 episode. (I've been a huge fan of hers since Elizabeth R in 1971.) Also spruced up the next sentence.
• 02:0202:02, 30 October 2022 diff hist +16 m Frank Middlemass Added the episode of Midsomer Murders that Frank appeared in, having just watched it. Also rewrote the next sentence so that "2005" appeared later in it.

21 November 2021

• 01:2101:21, 21 November 2021 diff hist −12 m The Legend of Haolan Rewrote first and second grafs, which were poorly written, and added the airdate for the Story of Yanxi Palace.
• 00:5500:55, 21 November 2021 diff hist +7 m Queen Dowager Zhao Added airdate for The Legend of Haolan, but couldn't find an airdate for the Qin Dynasty Epic as the latter isn't listed in Zhu Zhu's filmography.
• 00:4800:48, 21 November 2021 diff hist −7 m Queen Dowager Zhao Changed age at death from 52-51 to 51-52 so she didn't appear to have aged backwards. Rewrote graf that had begun "In 221 BC" so it made sense.

• 20:4920:49, 19 November 2021 diff hist −1 m Assyria Fixed three punctuation errors in first graf. The most egregious: Who doesn't know the difference between "its" and "it's" but was allowed to edit this?

6 October 2021

• 01:0501:05, 6 October 2021 diff hist −1 m The Hound of the Baskervilles In the 2nd graf under "Inspiration," corrected "internment" to "interment." The Fall of the House of Usher notwithstanding, one has to be dead to be interred.
