- 20:0720:07, 3 May 2024 diff hist 0 Greece →Venetian possessions and Ottoman rule (15th century – 1821): The Ottoman empire didn't really have a concept of citizenship before the reforms of 1869, and Christians were certainly not "citizens" before that date.
- 20:0320:03, 3 May 2024 diff hist −3 Greece →Venetian possessions and Ottoman rule (15th century – 1821): The Ionian Islands weren't really "free"; they were subject to control by Venice and later by western powers.
- 19:5919:59, 3 May 2024 diff hist +124 Greece →Venetian possessions and Ottoman rule (15th century – 1821): Important to clarify that the Ionian Islands were never under Ottoman rule
- 15:5615:56, 3 May 2024 diff hist 0 Template:Largest cities of Greece Moved references to top of table. Including them in the table makes the table difficult to read and defeats the purpose of a table with numbers that can be compared vertically.
- 15:4515:45, 3 May 2024 diff hist −3 m Greece →Administrative divisions: Rounded to the nearest whole number for consistency with other table entries

21 December 2023
- 20:3820:38, 21 December 2023 diff hist +18 Prehistoric Egypt →Neolithic: This edit is needed because the material under the heading extends beyond the Neolithic into the Chalcolithic period and the early Bronze Age (the Protodynastic period).
15 December 2023
- 15:1715:17, 15 December 2023 diff hist −1 m Prehistoric Egypt →Harifian culture: "that" is better for a restrictive clause
- 15:1615:16, 15 December 2023 diff hist +7 Prehistoric Egypt →Harifian culture: This spread included the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant, which are outside of Mesopotamia, while inside Mesopotamia, the Sumerian language was not Semitic.
- 15:1315:13, 15 December 2023 diff hist +20 Prehistoric Egypt →Sebilian culture: It is widely accepted that agriculture was not yet practiced in Egypt at this time, and the cited reference confirms that the grains were not domesticated.

- 14:3214:32, 18 September 2023 diff hist +26 New York metropolitan area "Greater New York" is often used for the region. "Tri-state area" is of course also often used but not distinctive to the New York area. It's frequently used for Greater Chicago (Indiana-Illiinois-Wisconsin) as well. Tag: Reverted

15 July 2023
- 21:1021:10, 15 July 2023 diff hist +15 Portugal Wording was inaccurate and misleading. We don't know who was there "first" because waves of migration occurred before recorded history. Most Celtic peoples lived outside of Portugal, and Celtic speakers probably arrived there after other groups. Tag: Reverted

- 00:5800:58, 11 March 2023 diff hist −21 m Ecuador →President Juan José Flores de jure territorial claims: "Real cedula" should be capitalized only when the words are part of the title of a document.
- 00:5600:56, 11 March 2023 diff hist 0 m Ecuador →President Juan José Flores de jure territorial claims: Hyphen misplaced
- 00:5500:55, 11 March 2023 diff hist +1 m Ecuador →President Juan José Flores de jure territorial claims: Appositive phrase needs setting off with commas on both sides
- 00:5500:55, 11 March 2023 diff hist +5 m Ecuador →President Juan José Flores de jure territorial claims: anachronism
- 00:5400:54, 11 March 2023 diff hist 0 m Ecuador →President Juan José Flores de jure territorial claims: Fixed word choice to reflect idiomatic English
- 00:5200:52, 11 March 2023 diff hist +43 Ecuador →Independence: Linking the words "black slaves" to the article on Afro-Ecuadorians felt potentially offensive, as if slavery defined that community.
10 March 2023
- 23:4123:41, 10 March 2023 diff hist −17 Ecuador →Independence: I don't think it's fair to describe all of these men as "authoritarian", especially without a source supporting that view.
