Sources themselves are usually off topic, especially in the lede. Modified the quote so that it paraphrases the source, which is the preferred form unless the quote being a quote is itself germane to the topic.

1981 was the last summer. The source is incorrect (i.e. "unreliable") on that point. I know that "I was an employee there in 1981 and I found them closed in 1982 and onward" is not considered a reliable source, but that's all I can offer, and it is indeed true. One could look up any of the (many many) Yund "kids" for verification too I suppose.

Neutron moderator
→Moderation: Removed awkward "known as neutron slowing down". It's not "known as" that, it *is* that. Added phraseology to equate high speed with high KE. (actually it's high ''specific'' KE, but that distinction isn't so critical here)

Neutron moderator
→Moderation: Uncited. Dubious because the right side had no term that increased with mass, and KE must be proportional to mass (or somehow the "amount of stuff"), as it is on the left side. Are we talking about *specific* energy here? --in which case the fix might be to remove the m from the left side. That Kb is Boltzmann constant is obvious to non-laity, but not clear to lay readers. Regardless, it still needs a citation to be replaced.

K-tel
→History: Dubious. Unsupported. "Infomercials" are the 15-minute or more minutes long devices that started around the 1990's -- unlike what's described here.

Revised local-TV-news style (Incidental fact as incomplete sentence, this is a completely unrelated fact.) to encyclopedic style (This is fact1 in a complete sentence. Here is fact2 in a new sentence.)

Call the Midwife
linked "mainly UK" regionalism for benefit of non-UK readers. (alternative could be to replace with something more fully colloquial)

GNU Zebra
→Background: Link was not apt. Maybe it was supposed to be an *example* of an "IP Infusion" company, but that was unclear, and links don't typically go to examples anyway.

His Master's Voice
"sound carriers"? Changed to colloquial/non-jargon "recordings". Actually, the most colloquial would be "records", but that sometimes implies vinyl.

User talk:98.216.249.147
Undid a very strange, very immaterial imposition of minor format preference on a unimportant user talk page made totally out of the blue. How could such a thing could be of the slightest concern to the modifier, or to anybody? Could it have been to provoke an unreasonable response? If my response is unreasonable, how about we just forget about it anyway and let it be, okay? A well-known editor expending reputation on such a thing would be a sorrier loss than a quirky IP doing the same. :-)Tag: Undo

WP:weasel "it is alleged". The purport that OV agriculture was effectively eliminated is supported in the main text with inline ref. If that ref isn't good enough, fight the fight there (in the main text).

"known" or "best known" are usually immaterial, and near-impossible to cite, especially for people who are hardly "known" at all. "Known" by whom? Surely not by the populace in general.

Liberty Lobby
Moved "History" section to front where it typically is for this kind of article. Leading with "Views" also lent a strong POV air -- it seemed the primary purpose of the article was to point out how rotten they were.

Liberty Lobby
→Antisemitism: Removed uncited strong remarks tagged-uncited for 1.5 years. Strong charges require strong references -- or at least *some* reference. It's also out of context, i.e. it's unclear who "Yockey" is yet. Bring in the refs (and explain "Yockey") and this can be reinstated.
