  • 05:3405:34, 20 November 2022 diff hist +55‎ Kempeitai ‎ The term French Indochinese lends itself to confusion (especially as this term would have included - perhaps even implied - Europeans living in the colony), especially when used next to an ethnonym (Malays). I cleared this up by restructuring the sentence to read “native peoples of…” proceeded by the names of the territories. Accordingly, I changed the second link to the page for British Malaya from the page for Malay as an ethnic group. Also noted that recruited Cao Dai were Vietnamese.

  • 02:4402:44, 13 November 2022 diff hist +5‎ Battle of Ambon ‎ Added full name to acronym for KNIL. This appeared later in the article, but should be fully spelled out with a link when it first appears. Tags: Visual edit Mobile edit Mobile web edit
  • 02:3602:36, 13 November 2022 diff hist +1‎ m Japanese war crimes ‎ Fixed misspelled place name Tags: Visual edit Mobile edit Mobile web edit
  • 02:3302:33, 13 November 2022 diff hist +17‎ Japanese war crimes ‎ Added Southeast Asia to the info box. As it is a region separate from East Asia or the Pacific and was almost entirely occupied by Japan during WWII where many war crimes occurred, it is worth mentioning individually in the info box.

  • 00:4300:43, 13 November 2022 diff hist +363‎ N User:Otatoptoh ‎ Added brief description of my activity and linguistic background current Tags: Visual edit Mobile edit Mobile web edit
  • 00:1900:19, 13 November 2022 diff hist −752‎ Statue of Peace ‎ The section is titled “Other statues inspired by the Statue of Peace,” therefore the discussion of South Korea-Japan relations is entirely irrelevant to the section. Also, language noting that an apology and compensation “fell flat in Bergen County” reflects a non-NPOV, violating a fundamental principle of Wikipedia. The link to source cited for this sentence is moreover broken, meaning that it cannot be verified. Without this sentence, the sentence that follows is no longer necessary.

  • 21:4121:41, 12 November 2022 diff hist +57‎ m Gia Long ‎ Added context to a sentence that makes its significance more apparent to those who read neither Vietnamese nor Chinese. Tags: Visual edit Mobile edit Mobile web edit
  • 21:3321:33, 12 November 2022 diff hist +19‎ m Gia Long ‎ Fixed spelling and a link. While “Pulo Condore” is the spelling used in some early records, this is a rare usage. Throughout most of French colonial rule it has been consistently spelled as Poulo-Condore, a term more recognizable to contemporary readers. I have also put the contemporary Vietnamese name, “Côn Đảo,” in parentheses to reflect contemporary usage. I also changed the link to the Wikipedia page for Côn Đảo instead of Con Son (as the latter only redirected to the former, anyways). Tags: Visual edit Mobile edit Mobile web edit

  • 21:4721:47, 11 November 2022 diff hist −68‎ m Indrapura (Champa) ‎ Edited for grammar and style. Also edited for consistency in naming, adding an explanation as to why Cham names are not available for a particular king, adding the Vietnamese name for the king which is consistent with the name in the Wikipedia page, and linking it. In the process of editing the language, I have noticed that the final paragraphs of the “history” section lack citations and have problems with narrative, issues which I shall leave for a future edit.

  • 21:0521:05, 8 November 2022 diff hist +12‎ m Perry Expedition ‎ Added “Guangzhou” in parentheses after “Canton.” Canton is no longer used in contemporary English to refer to Guangzhou, but Canton does accurately represent the common English term for the city at the time of the Perry expedition, therefore using Canton in the context of the article makes sense, but providing a name reflecting contemporary usage is necessary.

  • 20:4720:47, 9 October 2022 diff hist +452‎ Jan Pieterszoon Coen ‎ Added information reflecting that the conquest of Banda is commonly considered a genocide. This perspective on his legacy is widespread as it is the term used by the Dutch national archives as well as in scholarship, not to mention in public discourse in the Netherlands and even more so in Indonesia.

  • 08:2108:21, 2 April 2022 diff hist −752‎ Statue of Peace ‎ Two sentences were removed because: (1) They were not relevant to the section heading and reiterate points already made in a previous section on the diplomatic incident, (2) a citation in the first removed sentence directs to a broken link, and (3) the first of the two removed sentences does not express a neutral viewpoint Tags: Reverted references removed Visual edit Mobile edit Mobile web edit
  • 04:1004:10, 2 April 2022 diff hist +324‎ m Comparison of American and British English ‎ Updated the list to reflect 1) common AmE terms not listed, 2) a number of terms listed only under BrE are also common in AmE, so made changes to reflect that, 3) added a note on regional variation of the use of subway/metro in AmE Tags: Visual edit Mobile edit Mobile web edit
