• 19:3619:36, 24 January 2015 diff hist −84‎ Paths of Glory ‎ Removed ref which is just a copy of an earlier version of this article! (Circular)
• 19:3319:33, 24 January 2015 diff hist −5‎ Paths of Glory ‎ →‎Background: Source doesn't say "anti". "Anti-war" implies a larger more general message about all war, a more inclusive thing than just the gruesomeness of the particular situation depicted. It's inapplicable unless that larger message is unambiguous.
• 19:0719:07, 24 January 2015 diff hist −231‎ Paths of Glory ‎ WP does not state opinion as fact. Those refs give opinions without support. The characterization is subjective and POV and therefore unencyclopedic and not includeable, regardless of the appearance of satisfying the ref requirement.

• 04:3804:38, 23 January 2015 diff hist +12‎ María Elena Holly ‎ →‎Later years: The text suggested that a suit was filed and then did not succeed, but the ref doesn't say that a suit was actually filed. Refined wording to reflect the ref.
• 04:2004:20, 23 January 2015 diff hist −57‎ Paths of Glory ‎ Nice ref (really). "Anti-war" still is a charged term with POV implications. It's also quite debatable & subjective -- it could also be "war film" and easily ref'd for that, eh? :-) More straightforward & more encyclopedic to leave it out.
• 04:0404:04, 23 January 2015 diff hist −73‎ Ampersand ‎ →‎Usage: removed digressive speculation

22 January 2015

• 23:5823:58, 22 January 2015 diff hist −13‎ Paths of Glory ‎ "anti-war" is a loaded POV term and original research, source doesn't characterize it that way

18 January 2015

• 19:0719:07, 18 January 2015 diff hist 0‎ Heat pipe ‎ It's a common mistake to misapply "efficient" for "effective". If "efficiency" was really meant, use in this context would be ambiguous. Context suggests the meaning of "effective" is the intent.
• 05:2205:22, 18 January 2015 diff hist −32‎ Patty Hearst ‎ →‎Early life: The rest of the sentence seems to imply that "illustrious" is better expressed as "wealthy". Thinned out for tighter flow. Removed unnecessary (and somewhat ambiguous) "business footing".
• 05:1205:12, 18 January 2015 diff hist −247‎ María Elena Holly ‎ →‎Later years: Removed unnecessary digressive material which made the single-sentence paragraph into a crazy run-on. Rearranged for smoother flow. Added "citation needed" tag.
• 03:0003:00, 18 January 2015 diff hist −1,001‎ Patty Hearst ‎ →‎Family: Removed (much) off-topic digressive material. Subject is not PH's family, but rather it's a POV selection-bias (rant) about perceived malfeasance of Hearst *organization*. If de-POV'd, it would be suited for article on WRH, but not here.

• 15:1115:11, 12 January 2015 diff hist −68‎ Uma Thurman ‎ →‎Early life: Source in text (as well as in the inline) implies notability of source itself. The fact that it was in a that source is likely off topic and unnotable here. (If source IS notable, how-so would need discussion as well as a citation.)

18 December 2014

• 19:1919:19, 18 December 2014 diff hist −53‎ Don Quixote ‎ →‎The Pastoral Wanderings: Rmvd dubious uncited "rem. of Ovid". WP:burden requires citation before reinstate. Need secondary source saying they're similar and that similarity is notable. Otherwise, it's OR. Removed vague & unencyclopedic "reminiscent".
• 19:0519:05, 18 December 2014 diff hist −77‎ Don Quixote ‎ →‎The Pastoral Wanderings: Rmvd "and perhaps foreshadowing the work of Rousseau" as dubious and uncited. See WP:burden - Citation is required before reinstatement. Rmvd vague "foreshadowing" and unencyclopedic dreamy speculation (the "perhaps").

• 19:1119:11, 14 December 2014 diff hist −10‎ Highlights (magazine) ‎ →‎Before Highlights: Toned down marketing language which is over-the-top for a neutral POV encyclopedia.
• 19:0719:07, 14 December 2014 diff hist −5‎ Highlights (magazine) ‎ →‎Before Highlights: subjective (sounds like it was copied from promotional material)
• 19:0519:05, 14 December 2014 diff hist −7‎ Highlights (magazine) ‎ →‎Before Highlights: "ever" is unencyclopedic overstatement (WP wouldn't even say "first ever female astronaut" let alone something so much less notable). Replaced "the latter" with proper name.
