- 06:4306:43, 12 May 2024 diff hist +8 m Diplomatic immunity →Pre-modern era: The word “era” is overused, often carelessly; strictly, our historical era is the common one that reaches back more than two millennia. “Period” fits the accompanying text, but there is no “pre-modern period,” named as such, in history (let alone a “pre-modern era”).

- 07:2607:26, 17 April 2024 diff hist +105 Electrification It's not apparent what these matters have to do with electrification, unless "changing" means to turn from using heat generated by burning coal and coke onsite to that produced by offsite electric power generation (which may yet ultimately come from coal combustion).
