- 13:3313:33, 9 August 2022 diff hist +22 Month →Months in various calendars: TP: details about Pingelapese were out of place, moved it under its own section. Shouldn't the list be ordered in some way?

- 12:1512:15, 8 August 2022 diff hist −81 New moon TP: removed any references to "dark moon" since it is a recently invented term and used in different meanings, so it only confuses this text.
- 12:1212:12, 8 August 2022 diff hist −11 New moon TP: replaced silly statement: when the Moon is in conjunction with the Sun, the Sun will massively outshine any stars so you cannot observe lunar occultations of stars, definately not with the naked eye.
- 12:0812:08, 8 August 2022 diff hist −55 m New moon TP: removed erroneous comment. The Moon, like any solar system body, does have a dark side, but its position moves continuously with the terminator.

Orbit of the Moon
Undid revision 992798012 by 108.16.251.121 (talk) because the previous formulation is better. It is the orientation of the orbit in a fixed frame of reference that is discussed here.

- 16:2516:25, 6 December 2020 diff hist +48 Lunar precession TP: more clearly distinguish, and re-order, the different meanings of the term.
- 12:2912:29, 6 December 2020 diff hist +495 Orbit of the Moon →Libration: TP: previous anonymous editor is in error. Optical libration in latitude is a perspective effect just like the optical libration in longitude, and its magnitude is equal to the sum of the inclination of Moon's orbit on the ecliptic, and of the inclination of Moon's rotation axis on its orbit.
