→Politics: describing The Lincoln Project as a "Republican-led super PAC" without mentioning that they're a bunch of never-Trumpers attacking both Trump and various GOP Senators is potentially quite misleading, so I thought I'd better add in that rather vital bit of context!Tag: Visual edit

Supervenience
Consider statements (a) and (b) as follows: (a) X is said to supervene on Y if and only if some difference in Y is necessary for any difference in X to be possible. Equivalently, (b) X is said to supervene on Y if and only if X cannot vary unless Y varies. .... if anyone can explain to me how (b) adds anything whatsoever apart from *words* to this document, I'd love to hear it, because in my case I wasted about a minute trying to figure it out and couldn't, so I'm removing (b) for now.Tag: Visual edit

List of language subsystems
The summary says six, the detail lists seven. This might mean that there's a dispute as to what constitutes a "major" subsystem, or relate to the separation of phonetics and phonology and/or morphology and lexicology, but the obvious change to make here is switching "six" to "seven" in the summary as opposed to any arbitrary deletion of some supposedly less major "subsystem" in the detail.Tag: Visual edit

Basel III
→Criticism: removed OECD bit, the remarks correctly sourced were not criticisms, and those linked that were were not from the OECD. One of the linked docs was missing entirely, the other led to a pedestriain anti-regulatory Hayekian-ish blog post.Tag: Visual edit
