- 18:4118:41, 28 September 2024 diff hist +9 Igor Stravinsky →Final works and death: Reword to fix dangling participle: Stravinsky himself contracted pulmonary edema, not "the Stravinskys".
- 16:5516:55, 28 September 2024 diff hist +70 United States →Etymology: Added missing term "USA" mentioned in source, and calling out "United States" and "U.S." as the established terms in U.S. government.
- 16:3816:38, 28 September 2024 diff hist −62 United States →Etymology: Minor edit to remove editorial footnote within an editorial footnote. Content (and quotation) unchanged.

- 22:0322:03, 27 September 2024 diff hist +4 United States →Etymology: The definite article is an integral part of this expression (the WP link's lede begins with it). And who knew that "Murica" was WP:UNDUE?
- 20:3120:31, 27 September 2024 diff hist +2,012 United States →Etymology: The lone reference to the colloquialism "the States" in the Etymology section is patently ridiculous, but I agree that sources for the other terms are needed. Using same article cribbed for "the States" (Names of the United States), I added sources for "United States", "U.S.", and "America." Included is a footnote regarding the U.S. government's official guidelines.
- 15:5415:54, 27 September 2024 diff hist +44 Greater Los Angeles The intro to "Greater Los Angeles" should cite the City of Los Angeles at least once. Now incorporated into first sentence. current
- 15:4315:43, 27 September 2024 diff hist +245 United States →Etymology: From WP article Names of the United States. Standard names should be called out first: "United States", "U.S.", "USA", and "America". While "the States" and "the U.S. of A." might be "colloquially established", they are of a lower register than the others. There is a difference. Tag: Reverted
- 02:1002:10, 27 September 2024 diff hist +5 Substack →Criticism: Parallel syntax requires two sets of parentheses, not dashes with first description and parentheses with the 2nd. Also identify election by year in brackets, as Jan. 6 is cited. current Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit

- 22:4722:47, 25 September 2024 diff hist +11 United States The rest of the article uses periods in "U.S." (standard American usage), so any callouts of an initialism or acronym must mirror the text in spelling and style.

- 15:5415:54, 23 September 2024 diff hist +2 United States →Contemporary (1991–present): "National crime" is too vague and imprecise.
- 15:4615:46, 23 September 2024 diff hist +57 United States →Contemporary (1991–present): Restored. This is clearly cited in attached sources and in the WP link self-coup (listed under "Notable events described as attempted self-coups, " not "Notable events described as self-coups"). To state it otherwise is disinformation. The awkward repetition can be easily fixed (with "sought").
22 September 2024
- 21:2121:21, 22 September 2024 diff hist +11 United States Undid revision 1247091809 by TheWikiToby (talk) RV -- The linked WP article describes a self-coup as the head of state "having come to power through legal means" but he "stays in power through illegal means." Trump did not stay in power but left the White House on Jan. 20, the mandated date. "Attempted" is not a fill word but required. Tags: Undo Reverted
- 21:0821:08, 22 September 2024 diff hist −1 United States →European settlement and conflict (1607–1765): Comma; avoiding repeat of "war" so close in text; delaying it reads better.
