  • 22:3922:39, 31 March 2024 diff hist −118 ScienceMark Smith explicitly stated that Alhacen did not prove intromission no disprove extramission. Also Alhacen use of experiment was mostly for verification and demonstration. See the work of Mark Smith and Abdelhamid Sabra Tag: Visual edit

  • 20:5820:58, 10 March 2024 diff hist −463 Early modern periodRemoved unsupported claim contradicting established historiography of science. Alhacen was not the first to record experimentation, Ptolemy used controlled experiment in antiquity and Bacon use of experiment is extremely limited. Also comparing Alhacen to Natural philosophers is misleading, he worked in tradition of "mixed mathematics" Tag: Visual edit

  • 20:2720:27, 12 November 2023 diff hist −557 Great DivergenceRewrote according to what sources actually says. Williamson simply cite Parthasarathi, without necessarily agreeing with him. Also Parthasarathi position is misinterpreted, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mughal_Empire/Archive_3#Problems_with_economy_section, where I explained it in details Tag: Visual edit

  • 16:3116:31, 5 August 2023 diff hist −1,033 CrankshaftI removed the claim that al-Jazari invented crankshaft. See talk page for details. The only source of this is Sally Ganchy and she is not historian of science nor does she cites any evidence for it. Donald Hill is historian of science and if al-Jazari invented crankshaft then Hill would just says so. Tag: Visual edit
  • 16:2316:23, 5 August 2023 diff hist −398 Ismail al-JazariFailed verification. The source does not say that al-Jazari invented or introduced camshaft, only that he used it. Also removed Europe mentioned. It is irrelevant here and makes it appear as Europeans adopted camshaft from al-Jazari Tag: Visual edit

  • 04:2704:27, 19 July 2023 diff hist −7,174 NMOS logicRemoved History section introduced by Maestro2016 who was identified as sock puppet of Jagged 85, who was banned for systematic abuse of sources.

  • 16:1616:16, 16 July 2023 diff hist −122 Abu al-Abbas al-NabatiAlso removed another unsupported claim originally introduced buy Jagged 85 Tag: Visual edit
  • 16:1416:14, 16 July 2023 diff hist −366 Abu al-Abbas al-NabatiRemoved what is almost certainly example of citogenesis. The claim that al-Nabati introduced experimentation in materia medica was introduced by Jagged 85 in 2008 citing Toby Huff. That is however failed verification, as Huff simply cites Albert Dietrich, who says al-Nabati used empirical testing in his study, but no indication he was first. The book Bioactive Food, seems to simply copy Wikipedia claim, as it cites no sources for it Tag: Visual edit
  • 16:0516:05, 16 July 2023 diff hist −558 Ibn al-BaytarFailed verification. Toby Huff does not say al-Nabati introduced experimentation into Materia medica, He cites Albert Dietrich, who says al-Nabati used empirical testing in his study, but no indication he was first. Also Huff does not say anything about al-Baytar adopting experimentation Tag: Visual edit
  • 16:0216:02, 16 July 2023 diff hist −740 Materia medicaFailed verification. Toby Huff does not say al-Nabati introduced experimentation into Materia medica, He cites Albert Dietrich, who says al-Nabati used empirical testing in his study, but no indication he was first. The claim that his work allowed the study of materia medica to evolve into the science of pharmacology, is also failed verification Tag: Visual edit
  • 15:0715:07, 16 July 2023 diff hist −583 History of Islamic economicsRemoved failed verification. See Economy of the Kingdom of Mysore talk page. In fact Parthasarathi in his book says the exact opposite, that is Mysore was not a particular rich province Tag: Visual edit
  • 15:0415:04, 16 July 2023 diff hist −2,335 History of Islamic economicsRemoved a lot of misrepresentation of sources. The source does not say Fatawa-e-Alamgiri played significant role in Mughal empire becoming largest economy. Also removed ridiculous claim that half of gdp came from Bengal Subah Tag: Visual edit
  • 14:5814:58, 16 July 2023 diff hist −4,122 History of Islamic economicsRemoved highly inaccurate statement introduced by jagged 85. Lawrence does not give any demographic estimate, him saying " ...change the facts that life expectancy was not much above 35 years, and the majority of children died before reaching adulthood", is just a way to say life expectancy was very low Tag: Visual edit
  • 02:5402:54, 16 July 2023 diff hist −329 History of printingTrim a bit and significantly rewrote. An influence of eastern movable type on Gutenberg is pretty fringe view. Moreover citation from McDermott completely misrepresented to imply the exact opposite of what he was trying to say(That there was no influence of eastern movable type on printing press) Tag: Visual edit

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:MOSFET#Maestro2016_and_Jagged_85_cleanup for more details. Also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Integrated_circuit#Invention_of_IC, Atalla did not proposed MOS IC. Tag: Visual edit

  • 18:1518:15, 7 July 2023 diff hist −1,451 MachineRemoved mostly failed verification introduced by possible jagged 85 sockpuppet. Camshaft is failed verification. For crankshaft see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Crankshaft#Al-Jazari_and_crankshaft.Sally Ganchy is the only one who says so, and she is not historian of science, no does she cite any source to back it up Tag: Visual edit
