- 11:1011:10, 26 April 2022 diff hist −14 m Battle of Mingtiao →Legacy
19 January 2022
- 02:2702:27, 19 January 2022 diff hist −39 m Kahlúa →History: Nahuatl is still spoken, even after the conquest. Also, that phrase doesn't really add much to the article.
11 January 2022
- 05:2605:26, 11 January 2022 diff hist +7 m Chapultepec Castle I refined the translation to make it more accurate
26 August 2021
- 03:4703:47, 26 August 2021 diff hist −94 Lingua franca →Characteristics: The languages I deleted have a native-speaker majority and limited usage outside of their communities, which do not make them lingua francas.
- 03:4403:44, 26 August 2021 diff hist −21 Lingua franca →Examples
- 03:4303:43, 26 August 2021 diff hist −1,314 Lingua franca →Examples: I removed some information about Spanish; the size of Spanish native speakers is irrelevant for a lingua franca, as lingua francas depend on non-native speakers. Additionally, the section about Arabic didn't mention the amount of native speakers (which went through a similar historical process), so I wanted to make it consistent.

6 August 2021
- 23:1423:14, 6 August 2021 diff hist +49 Rancho Temescal I added some clarifying information. Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit
- 23:1123:11, 6 August 2021 diff hist +2 Temescal “Temezcal” is labeled as a “Nahuatl” word. It’s not; that’s the Hispanicized form of it. The correct form is “temezcalli”, which I have added as the correction. Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit
18 July 2021
- 05:0505:05, 18 July 2021 diff hist −50 m Afrikaans Languages can't be "old" or "young", as they all represent a continuous line of speech.
13 July 2021
- 20:4020:40, 13 July 2021 diff hist +3 m Eastern Qing tombs →Main tombs
28 June 2021

- 02:1702:17, 28 June 2021 diff hist +62 m Talk:Projections of population growth →Some metropolitan areas are listed multiple times, but under different names and with different populations: I added some words
- 02:1602:16, 28 June 2021 diff hist +945 Talk:Projections of population growth →Some metropolitan areas are listed multiple times, but under different names and with different populations: new section
23 June 2021
- 21:2321:23, 23 June 2021 diff hist +114 m Belize I moved some words around, added some extra information, and changed the logic in the writing.
20 May 2021
- 03:2703:27, 20 May 2021 diff hist +2 m Talk:Feminism in Mexico →Someone translated "la Raza" as "indigenous"; I've changed the translations to "Hispanic"
- 03:2703:27, 20 May 2021 diff hist +889 Talk:Feminism in Mexico →Someone translated "la Raza" as "indigenous"; I've changed the translations to "Hispanic": new section
- 03:0603:06, 20 May 2021 diff hist −3 m Feminism in Mexico →List of notable figures: Once again, "la Raza" does not mean "indigenous". That is a very poor translation that does not take into account the anti-indigenous implications of that term.
- 03:0203:02, 20 May 2021 diff hist −2 m Feminism in Mexico →Revolutionary period: 1911–1925: "La Raza" never referred to indigenous people, and actually took a derogatory stance towards them.
4 May 2021
- 17:2317:23, 4 May 2021 diff hist +42 m Calea ternifolia →Uses: The Nahuatl word that was given wasn't actually Nahuatl, so I changed the wording.
23 April 2021
- 22:4822:48, 23 April 2021 diff hist −8 m Vaquero →Texas tradition: The original wording was awkward and also made little sense.
15 April 2021
- 20:3120:31, 15 April 2021 diff hist −71 m Mesoamerican languages →Modern period (1821–): I deleted some words to make the sentence flow better; the deleted words were superfluous.
- 02:0602:06, 15 April 2021 diff hist +43 m Koreans in Mexico →Language and education: I added a reference to indigenous languages; the source that was consulted never explicitly referenced Spanish, only using the term "local language". In fact, when talking about the reluctance of Korean workers to learn the local languages, the source also mentioned that Koreans worked alongside indigenous Mayan laborers who spoke their own indigenous language (which could logically be the "local language" in question)..
20 February 2021
- 10:0710:07, 20 February 2021 diff hist −74 Education in Mexico →Primary school: Deleted some content; Mexico has many indigenous languages, so mentioning only French and English as examples was a little unfair. Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit

19 July 2020
- 21:1321:13, 19 July 2020 diff hist −52 m Kazakhs →Language: I removed the part that said the Kazakh language is "one of the ancient languages of the world". That sentence made no sense from a linguistics perspective and promotes pseudolinguistic ideas.

7 September 2019
- 10:1510:15, 7 September 2019 diff hist +54 Linguistic imperialism →Other languages: Added content. I wanted to expand the part about Spanish to take into account that nations have pushed aside other regional languages besides Quechua. Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit
