Packet Radio Van
The Alpine Inn was renamed in 1956, 20 years before the first TCP/IP transmission took place. Therefore it does not make sense to say “now the Alpine Inn”, as it was also the Alpine Inn in 1976. Then, as now, the name was the same, and people then, as now, often preferred to refer to the bar by its old pre-1956 name, “Rossotti’s”.current

Lake Nipigon
Qualifying the statement “interpreted to represent a failed arm”, because the Hart and Macdonald 2007 paper cited immediately after actually argues against this model. Also fixed some mistakes (e.g. the sills of the Nipigon Embayment are widely interpreted to represent a failed arm of the MRS, but the original text said that the sills are interpreted to represent a failed arm of the Embayment…the Embayment is not a failed arm of itself).

Terra Australis Orogen
There are too many errors in this article to count (including in the main image caption), but I will start correcting it with fixes to the lead. Past editors seem to have confused the TAO with both later orogens such as the Gondwanide, and with other Neoproterozoic orogens on the other side of the Vendian/Pannotian supercontinent such as the Avalonian-Cadomian orogen.

Added "~" before the dates to show that this is an approximation/generalization of three, more precise results (6.25±0.86 ka and 5.46±0.70 ka for the older flow, and 5.51±0.60 ka for the younger flow).

Qos (deity)
"Benaiah" does not mean "Son of Jah" in Hebrew, it means "Jah builds (up)". The name is spelled בְּנָיָה, with the first part being a form of the verb בָּנָה, "to build", not בֵּן, which would be "son"., with the second part being יָהּ "Jah". Therefore I have removed this spurious claim.

Mantos
Request for speedy deletion. This is a plural form of an obscure word describing the shape of some polymetallic ore deposits, the singular of which does not even redirect to this page (nor should it, either).Tag: Reverted

Polymetallic replacement deposit
Removed this. Not only because it has had a "citation needed" tag for over 10 years, but because the term "mantle roll" has a specific meaning in geology, as a synonym of "mantle wind", used to describe anomalous motion of hotspot tracks over geologic time, and I know of nor can find any usage of the term "mantle roll" to describe the shape of an ore deposit.

Thermal conductivity and resistivity
Dimension of both thermal conductivity & thermal resistance in infoboxes was set to 'wikidata', and so was displaying the same dimension for both measures based on the Wikidata entry for thermal conductivity, even though they have different SI dimensions. So, I added in the dimension for thermal res. manually. I will also edit the Wikidata dimension for thermal cond. to read mass-first, instead of distance-first, bc that is more standard (e.g. see: Momentum) & the order of units above.

Dharmadhatu
Added Sanskrit script and expanded on Tibetan script, wrapped in proper ((lang))/((bo)) tags, on request, which entailed relocating this information to the lead. I also standardized the spelling of dharmadhatu throughout the article to match the page title, which does not use Sanskrit long vowels, except in exact quotes or links to pages that do use Sanskrit long vowels.

Lithostratigraphy
“Stratum” is singular. “There are a number of principles that are used to explain the appearance of stratum” makes no sense with the following discussion, even if changed to “a stratum” or “strata”. The ensuing discussion deals with the relationship between two or more strata, not merely the appearance of a single stratum. I changed the language to something that actually makes sense.

This is not what the 1978 law actually says. I updated the text to match the language of the actual law and provided a citation to the actual law, Public Law 95-496. (See: https://www.congress.gov/95/statute/STATUTE-92/STATUTE-92-Pg1660.pdf)

"Hebrew" is not a region. The name comes from Judeans in exile in Chaldea/Mesopotamia. יסכה, the Hebrew origin for this name, does not mean "foresighted", it is just the 3ms imperfect form of the verb סכה, itself an alternate form of the verb שׂכה, meaning "to see/behold/look for". cp. Arabic mishkā ("a window or recess for a lantern"), Aramaic סְכָא ("he waited for, looked for, expected").

There is no Hebrew romanization scheme that uses a superscript "h" for final qamats+heh (i.e. ־אָה). The heh is not transcribed, in order to disambiguate it from final heh with mappiq (i.e. ־הּ). Also, the hireq here is a short "i", not a long "i". Also, wrapped this Hebrew in a proper ((lang)) tag.

Prajñāpāramitā Devī
Added Devanagari for Sanskrit, Tibetan script, and proper ((lang)) tags for each. ཤེར་ཕྱིན་མ (Wy.: Sher phyin ma) does not mean “wisdom mother”, it’s just an abbreviation of ཤེེས་རབ་ཀྱི་ཕ་རོལ་ཏུ་ཕྱིན་མ (Wy.: Shes rab kyi pha rol tu phyin ma), i.e. the subject of this article. If Sanskrit spellings with long vowels are going to be used for Prajñāpāramitā, then Devī should also be spelled correctly. I have made all the changes I could find.
