- 18:2918:29, 10 May 2024 diff hist +254 Baitul Futuh Mosque →2015 fire: Removed outdated information and updated with trial of suspect at end of section. While some initial reports stated that a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old were arrested, multiple subsequent reports suggest that both arrestees were 16. I've omitted the second suspect, as he seems irrelevant, as well as that "[b]y the end of the day, no suggestion of a deliberate attack was made" as it seems extraneous. Feel free to ping me and discuss on the Talk page! current Tag: 2017 wikitext editor

- 15:3015:30, 19 April 2024 diff hist +38 Joaquín Balaguer Corrected confusing photo caption of Balaguer "to [Trujillo's] right"—while Balaguer is in fact to Trujillo's right, he's left of him in the photo. Adding to the confusion, the Wikimedia Commons page for the photo actually describes Balaguer as "on [Trujillo's] left"—I will endeavor to clarify that caption, as well. Tag: 2017 wikitext editor

- 15:3215:32, 17 April 2024 diff hist +203 General Aptitude Test Battery →GATB Race-Norming Controversy: added affirmative action goals, which had been omitted (despite it being the main reason for race-norming, not allegedly biased tests); clarified why neuropsychological testing was normed (although I question its inclusion here); corrected Wikivoice saying black scores were only compared to those with "the same ethnicity", which was incorrect, as black scores were normed solely on the basis of race, not ethnicity.
