- 20:2920:29, 17 May 2024 diff hist −24 Pieter Sjoerds Gerbrandy →Second World War: sentence repaired
- 20:1420:14, 17 May 2024 diff hist +7 Dirk Jan de Geer words missing current
23 April 2024
- 21:5621:56, 23 April 2024 diff hist +1 Sappho comma missing
- 21:5521:55, 23 April 2024 diff hist 0 Sappho incorrect punctuation (semicolon used where there should be a colon)

- 04:3404:34, 24 March 2024 diff hist +1 Stephen Hartke →Life: comma missing current
14 March 2024
- 22:1422:14, 14 March 2024 diff hist +33 Isabeau of Bavaria →Court intrigues of the 1380s and 1390s: Jean Gerson's importance as an administrator at the University of Paris should be noted, as well as the year of the death of the Avignon pope Clement VII, in order to refine the chronological framework of this paragraph.
- 22:0522:05, 14 March 2024 diff hist +49 Isabeau of Bavaria →Court intrigues of the 1380s and 1390s: the first mention of Valentina Visconti in the text should include a link to her page
- 22:0122:01, 14 March 2024 diff hist +67 Isabeau of Bavaria →Court intrigues of the 1380s and 1390s: remarks added to clarify points made in the third paragraph; without some indication of the importance of whether or not Charles VI attacked a herald for wearing Galeazzo's livery, it is impossible to justify the inclusion of this information, which creates a run-on sentence.
- 21:3321:33, 14 March 2024 diff hist +169 Isabeau of Bavaria →Court intrigues of the 1380s and 1390s: second sentence of this section repaired
13 March 2024
- 22:1522:15, 13 March 2024 diff hist +1 Louis I, Duke of Orléans →Role in court and the Hundred Years' War: comma missing
- 21:5821:58, 13 March 2024 diff hist −5 Charles V of France Ungrammatical second second sentence of the lede repaired
- 21:5421:54, 13 March 2024 diff hist +1 Isabeau of Bavaria →Court intrigues of the 1380s and 1390s: misplaced first sentence of the second paragraph put at the end of the first paragraph, where it belongs.
- 21:4721:47, 13 March 2024 diff hist +163 Isabeau of Bavaria →Court intrigues of the 1380s and 1390s: First paragraph of this section repaired
- 21:3621:36, 13 March 2024 diff hist +89 Isabeau of Bavaria Improved section titles and a new one added to prevent one from being overlong
12 March 2024
- 22:0922:09, 12 March 2024 diff hist +99 Isabeau of Bavaria →The illness of Charles VI: it is very odd to enumerate the number of Isabeau's children so carefully at the time of her husband's first bout of illness, then nowhere else in the chronological sections devoted to her overall biography explain how many more children she had.
- 22:0222:02, 12 March 2024 diff hist +69 Isabeau of Bavaria A problem with the second paragraph of the lede is that its wording implies that there was only one dauphin during Isabeau
- 20:3820:38, 12 March 2024 diff hist +13 Isabeau of Bavaria →The illness of Charles VI: last paragraph of this section repaired
- 20:3620:36, 12 March 2024 diff hist +19 Isabeau of Bavaria →The illness of Charles VI: best to avoid awkward possessive constructions
- 20:3320:33, 12 March 2024 diff hist +10 Isabeau of Bavaria →The illness of Charles VI: opening sentence of the fifth paragraph of this sentence repaired
- 20:3020:30, 12 March 2024 diff hist +24 Isabeau of Bavaria →The illness of Charles VI: Strangely constructed sentence repaired
11 March 2024
- 22:0122:01, 11 March 2024 diff hist +6 Isabeau of Bavaria →The illness of Charles VI: it's best to identify "Orleans" fully
- 21:5221:52, 11 March 2024 diff hist +4 Isabeau of Bavaria →The illness of Charles VI: caption repaired
- 21:5121:51, 11 March 2024 diff hist +43 Isabeau of Bavaria →The illness of Charles VI: it is helpful to the reader to identify who "Orleans" is at this point, since he has not been mentioned elsewhere in some time
- 21:4621:46, 11 March 2024 diff hist +32 Isabeau of Bavaria →The illness of Charles VI: naturally, it is considerate to provide a translation of "le bal des ardents" for English-speaking readers.
- 21:4321:43, 11 March 2024 diff hist +1 Guillaume de Harsigny →Life: comma missing current
- 21:4321:43, 11 March 2024 diff hist −1 Guillaume de Harsigny →Life: extraneous period removed
- 21:3921:39, 11 March 2024 diff hist −1 Guillaume de Harsigny first sentence repaired
- 21:3821:38, 11 March 2024 diff hist +25 Isabeau of Bavaria →The illness of Charles VI: it is odd to provide a name for the physician attending Charles VI, then refer to him in a generic manner.
- 21:3021:30, 11 March 2024 diff hist −14 Isabeau of Bavaria →The illness of Charles VI: the existing attributes for Harsigny are curious. "Venerable" is much more direct and customarily refers to a person of advanced age.
- 21:2121:21, 11 March 2024 diff hist −1 Isabeau of Bavaria →The illness of Charles VI: extraneous comma removed
- 21:1921:19, 11 March 2024 diff hist +3 Isabeau of Bavaria →The illness of Charles VI: caption repaired
- 21:1821:18, 11 March 2024 diff hist +269 Isabeau of Bavaria →The illness of Charles VI: It is puzzling that the first reference to the Marmousets on this page would not include any explanation of who they were or even a link to help the reader find out who they were.
8 March 2024
- 19:5019:50, 8 March 2024 diff hist +2 Isabella of Valois →Life: commas missing
- 19:4819:48, 8 March 2024 diff hist +2 Isabella of Valois commas missing
- 18:5918:59, 8 March 2024 diff hist −10 Isabeau of Bavaria →The illness of Charles VI: since his brother was not a knight, rather a royal duke, it is best not to say that his brother was one of the knights attacked in 1392.
- 18:5718:57, 8 March 2024 diff hist +1 Isabeau of Bavaria →The illness of Charles VI: improved syntax
- 18:4618:46, 8 March 2024 diff hist +9 Isabeau of Bavaria →Charles' illness: section is formed out of an awkward possessive construction. It has been substituted
- 18:3518:35, 8 March 2024 diff hist +1 Isabeau of Bavaria →Lineage and marriage: link corrected
- 18:3018:30, 8 March 2024 diff hist −86 Isabeau of Bavaria →Coronation: The Gates of Paradise are decorated doors at the Florence Baptistry not fashioned until the 1420s. Representations of the Deesis in 14th-century Paris are similarly unlikely. Since the precise nature of the tableaux vivants displayed at the coronation is not important, a generalized mention has been substituted for the inaccurate information presented earlier.
- 18:1018:10, 8 March 2024 diff hist −1 Isabeau of Bavaria →Coronation: extraneous comma removed
- 18:0918:09, 8 March 2024 diff hist −447 Isabeau of Bavaria →Coronation: The mention of Valentina Visconti in this section is best removed. Besides the fact that her presence at the coronation is of no intrinsic importance, it is misrepresented here. The existing remarks imply that Valentina traveled to France from Milan at this time just to attend the coronation. This is not true. Rather, she came to France for her in-person wedding to Charles, Duke of Orleans, on 17 August 1389. The 300 (not 1300) knights and luxuries were brought for that reason.
7 March 2024
- 23:0223:02, 7 March 2024 diff hist +82 Isabeau of Bavaria →Lineage and marriage: editing needed in the remainder of the section with a vie toward clarification, improved writing style, and correct punctuation
- 22:3422:34, 7 March 2024 diff hist +324 Isabeau of Bavaria →Lineage and marriage: alterations to the third paragraph of this section with a view toward providing more context for its details and improving the writing style
- 21:4021:40, 7 March 2024 diff hist +185 Isabeau of Bavaria →Lineage and marriage: second paragraph of this section revised for completeness and improved expression
6 March 2024
- 23:2023:20, 6 March 2024 diff hist +305 Isabeau of Bavaria →Lineage and marriage: expansion of the connection with the Visconti family is called for, since the Viscontis re-appear in later parts of the page. The sentences of the first paragraph of this section needed to be re-organized and re-written in the interest of improved style.
- 22:4822:48, 6 March 2024 diff hist +82 Isabeau of Bavaria For English-speaking readers, tt would not be proper to refer to a "popular" view of Isabeau, since she has always been a very obscure historical figure in the Anglosphere. The remainder of the paragraph needed to be re-phrased in the interest of improved writing style.
5 March 2024
- 23:2023:20, 5 March 2024 diff hist +296 Isabeau of Bavaria Better phrasing with an expanded explanation of the implications of the Treaty of Troyes, which otherwise would make no sense without reading the entire page first. The implications of the Treaty of Troyes now have been accorded their own paragraph.
- 22:4922:49, 5 March 2024 diff hist +1 Isabeau of Bavaria comma missing
- 22:4722:47, 5 March 2024 diff hist +28 Isabeau of Bavaria another "dangling" participle replaced
- 22:3722:37, 5 March 2024 diff hist −149 Isabeau of Bavaria The first sentence of the second paragraph belongs at the end of the first paragraph. It is the second sentence of the second paragraph that sets the topic for the paragraph, so it should be placed first. Mention of the Bal des Ardents interrupts the discussion of the main topic of the second paragraph and is is thoroughly discussed in the main body. As a minor sidelight that mainly concerns Charles VI, not Isabeau directly, it doesn't need to appear in the lede at all.
