16:4216:42, 21 February 2024 diff hist −26 Battle of Bir Hakeim Both presentation decisions are unsupported by citations and essentially arbitrary. The difference is that one is patently redundant, counterintuitive, and misleading (as if the UK were a colonial territory conquered and ruled by the British Empire, on par with India); the other is not.

14:1814:18, 23 January 2024 diff hist +114 Battle of Talavera important detail in light of the ambiguity of the outcome: traditionally, a victorious army pursues a defeated one

14:3014:30, 19 June 2023 diff hist +11 Kyrie Irving The sequential placing of this sentence leads to a logical non-sequitur (not getting vaccinated ≠ promoting a conspiracy; if Irving promoted conspiracies about vaccines, this needs to be stated plainly and substantiated)

16:4716:47, 16 December 2022 diff hist −24 Battle of Djerba the sectarian label is fairly redundant; co-belligerents are assumed to be at least de facto 'allied'; that the anti-Ottoman European powers were demographically Christian is also safely assumed

21:2921:29, 15 December 2022 diff hist −108 War of the Spanish Succession Legally, this is rubbish. Sure, Philip's supporters were more *concentrated* in Castile; Charles' in Aragon. Yet both claimants de jure claimed sovereign lordship of *both* the Crowns of Castile and Aragon; there was never a situation where one Crown was formally at war with the other.

18:3518:35, 26 October 2022 diff hist +21 Battle of Sainte-Foy Capturing/losing artillery was a commonly accepted marker of victory/defeat in neoclassical European warfare and is usually included in casualty figures

19:0719:07, 24 January 2022 diff hist +403 Operation Storm →War crimes: Absolutely impermissible reversion -- this article is cited in peer-reviewed academic literature available through electronic databases. What you are personally able to "find" or not is irrelevant.

15:0615:06, 30 December 2021 diff hist −162 Siege of Melilla (1774–1775) It is absurd to state that the result was a cession of territories: the siege was lifted with heavy losses to the attackers by a Spanish relief expedition. *Five years later*, Spain signed a treaty with Morocoo

20:5720:57, 22 December 2021 diff hist −1 War of the Portuguese Succession Pure obfuscation. There were dynastic complexities to the succession *crisis*, but the victorious belligerent in the *war* was an expeditionary army sent from Spain -- not a multinational "Habsburg" dynastic army. Plus, "Habsburg" is ambiguous, as there were multiple branches of that house in existence. Tag: Undo
18:0318:03, 22 December 2021 diff hist −1 War of the Portuguese Succession "Habsburg" is needlessly ambiguous here, considering the House had already split into Spanish and Austrian branches (and anyway, Philip's claim came from his Trastamara line) Tag: Reverted

18:2318:23, 16 December 2021 diff hist +333 Siege of Lille (1708) Bogart and Oury are both quite clear on this: the surviving garrison was "granted safe passage" to Douai, a major strongpoint on the front lines. They were not neutralized or removed from active service.
