- 17:1017:10, 8 September 2021 diff hist +563 Talk:Henri Cartier-Bresson This this needs to be clarified as people are defining street photography partly on his work, and worse only on cherry picked examples of it.

- 18:0918:09, 1 April 2021 diff hist −11 Basset Hound →Appearance: Using the English language which is what an encyclopaedia is supposed to do, rather than have people needing to jump pages frequently just to understand what is being said.
16 February 2021
- 01:3501:35, 16 February 2021 diff hist +84 River Forth Adding a bit of information to the introduction so those like me who are not intimate with Scotland can have a sense of where it is immediately. Laymen should be able to get information quickly.
- 01:2401:24, 16 February 2021 diff hist +70 Firth of Clyde When I looked it up, I wished it had said right near the top whether it was on the east or west coast of Scotland, me not being from the UK. So after having to unnecessarily go to yet another page to find out, I fixed the issue here.

19 September 2018
- 05:2005:20, 19 September 2018 diff hist −1 Thompson River Changed the source and mouth elevation to match those given in the source articles for those locations. e.g. Kamloops elevation was originally over 1000m when in reality it is 345m according to references in the Kamloops wiki page. I spotted the error as I know Kamloops well and knew the valley bottom was between 300 and 400m so found the exact value to fix the page. Lytton, the mouth has to be lower because rivers flow downhill. :)

The link allows the reader to access more technical info. Like how this is supposed to work. Articles need to stop reading like a doctoral dissertation.
