- 19:5319:53, 4 April 2024 diff hist −374 Saqiyah The first source doe not say Ibn bassal was first to employed it. I also removed the second source. It is extremely low quality, for instance it says that Madrid population drooped from 400k to 200k as a result of Reconquista Tag: Visual edit

- 22:3922:39, 31 March 2024 diff hist −118 Science Mark 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

- 23:4123:41, 23 March 2024 diff hist −152 Eric Schmidt The source does not provide any evidence of him being Jewish. Moreover checking it they also list Tom Gores, even though he is not Jewish. We would need better source for this claim Tag: Visual edit

10 March 2024
- 20:5820:58, 10 March 2024 diff hist −463 Early modern period Removed 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 Divergence Rewrote 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

- 23:5323:53, 12 August 2023 diff hist +1,127 Algebra Added clarifications about origins of medieval algebra(copied from history of algebra article). The hole section should be significantly rewritten really, as a lot of information is outdated Tag: Visual edit

5 August 2023
- 16:3116:31, 5 August 2023 diff hist −1,033 Crankshaft I 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-Jazari Failed 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

- 21:2321:23, 29 July 2023 diff hist −740 List of people considered father or mother of a scientific field Also removed early physics section. Al-Khalili is not historian of science, his article contain multiple elementary errors, and he does not say anything about Alhacen being father of early physics Tag: Visual edit
- 21:2021:20, 29 July 2023 diff hist −657 List of people considered father or mother of a scientific field Removed misuse of sources.Rüdiger is actually skeptical about Schramm claim that Alhacen is founder of experimental science. And modern historians of optics like Mark Smith are even more skeptical about degree of originality in Alhacen experimentation. Not to mention Alhacen used experiments for demonstration(similar to Ptolemy), and not for discovery, which is what experimental physics is. Tag: Visual edit
23 July 2023
- 17:0717:07, 23 July 2023 diff hist −439 Mathematical proof Also removed failed verification. Source does not say Alhacen developed proof by contradiction, no does it say it was first attempt to prove parallel postulate Tag: Visual edit
- 17:0617:06, 23 July 2023 diff hist −213 Mathematical proof Removed unsourced claim introduced by jagged 85, who was banned for systematic abuse of sources Tag: Visual edit

- 16:1616:16, 16 July 2023 diff hist −122 Abu al-Abbas al-Nabati Also 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-Nabati Removed 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-Baytar Failed 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 medica Failed 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 economics Removed 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 economics Removed 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 economics Removed 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 printing Trim 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 Machine Removed 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
