1 December 2020
- 03:1103:11, 1 December 2020 diff hist −1 George Adamski Reverted previous edit; it was non-constructive and thus not needed. No other edits.
- 03:0103:01, 1 December 2020 diff hist +6 George Adamski Reverted edit "early 1950s" back to the more accurate "early-to-mid 1950s", as that more accurately describes Ruppelt's tenure as the supervisor of Project Blue Book. No other edits.
- 02:5902:59, 1 December 2020 diff hist +1 George Adamski Corrected "Air Force group created" back to the more accurate "Air Force group assigned" as was written before the previous user's edit. Project Blue Book was already in existence as Projects Sign and Grudge, it was augmented and given the new code name Blue Book in 1951. It was therefore not "created" in the traditional sense of the term, but was a continuation of the previous Projects. No other edits. Tag: Manual revert
14 November 2020
- 04:2404:24, 14 November 2020 diff hist −5 George Adamski Deleted adjective "tall" from the description of the blonde Adamski was dating. The source cited does not describe her as being tall, only as "incredibly lovely" in a humorous sense. No other edits.

15 October 2019
- 04:3704:37, 15 October 2019 diff hist −702 George Adamski Deleted spurious claim that "an enemy extra-terrestrial group" called the Omegans manipulated Adamski's memories to somehow discredit him. The source used to support this claim ("The Space Brothers Do Not Come From Venus: The More Accurate Teachings of Adamski, Menger, Fry, Nelson, etc.") is considered an unreliable source under Wikipedia guidelines. No other edits.

- 04:3704:37, 3 September 2017 diff hist +1,154 North Carolina Added cited descriptions from a Raleigh News & Observer article about the growing divide in economic growth between NC's rural and urban areas. Given its importance to the state's economy and politics, it should be at least mentioned.
16 June 2017
- 02:2602:26, 16 June 2017 diff hist −4 Thomas E. Dewey Corrected & clarified "state assembly" to "state legislature", as both houses of state legislature were required to cut funding. Also corrected awkward wording in sentence, and corrected minor grammatical errors.

- 01:1101:11, 16 June 2017 diff hist −1,155 Thomas E. Dewey Edited and clarified long paragraph on Dewey cutting child care, the relevance of the topic does not warrant so much space. Also, the NPR source does not say Dewey closed the centers due to anti-Communism. No other edits.

- 22:3622:36, 17 April 2017 diff hist −61 Adlai Stevenson II Stevenson did run in the 1956 Democratic primaries, it was only in 1952 that he was nominated without entering a primary.
