- 04:1704:17, 29 September 2012 diff hist +10 Bacon's Rebellion clarified the role of "Bacon's backers" by adding the word "financial" - these are not ideological/political supporters being discussed here.
- 04:1504:15, 29 September 2012 diff hist 0 Bacon's Rebellion fixed my own lousy grammar
- 04:1404:14, 29 September 2012 diff hist −14 Bacon's Rebellion still playing around with the wording here
- 04:1204:12, 29 September 2012 diff hist −16 Bacon's Rebellion more spacing
- 04:1104:11, 29 September 2012 diff hist 0 Bacon's Rebellion minor spacing edit from previous work
- 04:1004:10, 29 September 2012 diff hist −135 Bacon's Rebellion fixed mistakes from previous edit
- 04:0504:05, 29 September 2012 diff hist +133 Bacon's Rebellion heavily edited the order of the paragraph while preserving all the information - IMO the large gap between the different motives for the rebellion seemed to favor the old revenge story over modern research (greed theory).
- 03:5003:50, 29 September 2012 diff hist +91 Nipmuc "alcoholism" is not a "disease" that was "introduced" by the colonists. Keep your AA rhetoric out of my encyclopedia, please >:P
- 01:5801:58, 29 September 2012 diff hist −212 Pathfinder (2007 film) weasel words - it may be a movie article, but you still can't talk about Vikings visiting N. America as if it were a proven fact.
22 September 2012
- 18:2418:24, 22 September 2012 diff hist −851 Battle of Pydna →Alternative Account: This "account" is outlandish and far-fetched, dismissed by historians and military tacticians alike. This wouldn't work, nor would the Greeks simply quit the field if it did. Section removed for low relevancy and just being a lie Tag: section blanking
- 18:1818:18, 22 September 2012 diff hist −190 Battle of Pydna →Battle: Weasel words, original research, also happens to be completely wrong. It says right above this that the Romans essentially took the phalanx from the flank by exploiting gaps in their line
- 00:4400:44, 22 September 2012 diff hist +23 Migration Period Changed confusing wording which suggested the migrations were triggered solely by internal Roman policies rather than events taking place outside the empire. How did this not get noticed for so long?
- 00:3000:30, 22 September 2012 diff hist −168 Gunderic →History: If only I had a nickle for every non-referenced conclusion about etymology on this site beginning with the words "Some scholars believe...."
- 00:2600:26, 22 September 2012 diff hist −211 Alans →Migration to Gaul: This is at best idle speculation, and at worst self-serving, racist nationalism. You can find sources to support a lot of ideas. That doesn't mean they belong in an encyclopedia.
21 September 2012
- 23:0723:07, 21 September 2012 diff hist −2 Picts fixed spacing from previous edit
- 23:0723:07, 21 September 2012 diff hist −882 Picts Weasel words, original research, this is basically just an opinion - the sources listed don't actually support the statements made here; they are just examples. Vague and out of place.

- 21:3621:36, 18 September 2012 diff hist 0 Wars of Alexander the Great Improved readability by breaking sentence into two parts.
- 21:3421:34, 18 September 2012 diff hist −8 Wars of Alexander the Great changed weasel words "is presumed" to "was" - Alexander the Great was undefeated according to all available historical record; this is not a presumption.
- 21:2821:28, 18 September 2012 diff hist −10 Battle of Issus noticed someone changed
- 21:2721:27, 18 September 2012 diff hist −17 Battle of Issus No edit summary
- 21:2621:26, 18 September 2012 diff hist −1,016 Battle of Issus Finished reading the article, decided to scrap the entire second paragraph. Turns out it completely contradicts the accurately referenced summary of the battle found below.
- 20:5620:56, 18 September 2012 diff hist −886 Battle of Issus Introduction was HORRIBLE, downright unreadable. I don't have the patience to tackle this entire article but at least the first couple paragraphs no longer read like a D-list action movie script.
- 16:3316:33, 18 September 2012 diff hist +5 Talk:Sacred Band of Thebes →CONTROVERSY section should be REMOVED (or trimmed to a tiny fraction of its current size)
- 16:3216:32, 18 September 2012 diff hist +1,382 Talk:Sacred Band of Thebes →CONTROVERSY section should be REMOVED (or trimmed to a tiny fraction of its current size): new section
- 15:1815:18, 18 September 2012 diff hist −260 Sacred Band of Thebes →Criticism: Numerous modern sources (and several wikipedia pages) discuss Xenophon's dislike of and outright bias against all things Theban. Including his picture on an article about their Sacred Band is inappropriate. Relevancy > controversy&POVpush
- 14:4614:46, 18 September 2012 diff hist −1 Sacred Band of Thebes →Invasions of Agesilaus II: fixed spacing from previous edit
- 14:4514:45, 18 September 2012 diff hist −160 Sacred Band of Thebes →Military history: Image was taken directly from the "peltast" page - where it has the correct caption. This new version is uncited original research, likely made up to justify adding this stupid picture. Removed.
- 12:5112:51, 18 September 2012 diff hist −1 Rome: Total War: Alexander →Eastern Factions: fixed spacing from previous edit
- 12:5112:51, 18 September 2012 diff hist −80 Rome: Total War: Alexander →Eastern Factions: completely irrelevant, removed
- 11:4811:48, 18 September 2012 diff hist −172 Bosporan Kingdom Impossible to prove, unreferenced - there is no point waiting a year to remove this. It's an opinion, not a fact. Probably original research anyway.
- 11:4411:44, 18 September 2012 diff hist −169 Kingdom of Iberia →Etymology: If you can't speak English, don't edit English wikipedia pages.....

- 10:2510:25, 16 September 2012 diff hist −209 Companion cavalry →Equipment: Original research, uncited, weasel words - no need to wait until January 2013 on this one.
- 10:2210:22, 16 September 2012 diff hist +33 Companion cavalry →Organization: Removed what seems like an intentionally confusing link - why on earth would you label him Socrates?
11 September 2012
- 20:5920:59, 11 September 2012 diff hist −18 El Castillo, Chichen Itza removed weasel words

- 12:1012:10, 10 September 2012 diff hist +1 Talk:Circassian genocide →NATIONALISM and GOOD FAITH
- 12:1012:10, 10 September 2012 diff hist +932 Talk:Circassian genocide →NATIONALISM and GOOD FAITH: new section
29 August 2012
- 02:0902:09, 29 August 2012 diff hist −139 Bogotazo →The riots: huge generalization, this appears to have been inserted into the text at a later date
- 01:5101:51, 29 August 2012 diff hist −576 National Liberation Army (Colombia) →History: Removed long-winded, uncited story about a single kidnapping. It's hard to keep good faith when someone is so obviously using this site to promote their book deal.

- 06:1906:19, 9 August 2012 diff hist +17 The Poet (2007 film) added Nina Dobrev to introductory list of stars

- 17:4017:40, 5 August 2012 diff hist −888 Great Siege of Malta →The armies: This is uncited original research, heavily ladden with weasel words and POV pushing.
- 16:4016:40, 5 August 2012 diff hist +4 Guano Islands Act →Background: re-worded description to place usage in gunpowder manufacture before agriculture; the US govt was not claiming far-flung islands just to grow corn
- 16:3716:37, 5 August 2012 diff hist +13 Palmyra Atoll →National Wildlife Refuge: can't even tell what this has to do with the island in previous format - replaced highly ambiguous "several parties" with something that made sense in this context.
- 16:3216:32, 5 August 2012 diff hist −219 Palmyra Atoll →Political status: repeated elsewhere in less confusing manner, removed
- 16:3016:30, 5 August 2012 diff hist +4 Palmyra Atoll i swear this was written by a 12 yr old - fixed more horrible word usage
- 16:2816:28, 5 August 2012 diff hist −24 Palmyra Atoll how many times can you use the word "essentially" in a single paragraph? jesus.....
- 16:2516:25, 5 August 2012 diff hist +19 DVD region code if this isn't scare tactics it should be pretty easy to reference
