  • 14:5314:53, 25 May 2024 diff hist −97 KárolyRemoved unsourced claim, which is also unlikely to be true: Common Turkic or Proto-Turkic root meaning "falcon, hawk" is reconstructed as *kārt- (sources: Etymological Dictionary of the Altaic Languages). Expected Hungarian reflex would have been something like **kVrtVl with -t- retained, not lost; compare Hg. gyertyas "candle", from Turkic *yarta > Chuvash ҫурта śurt̬a. current

  • 15:5315:53, 2 March 2024 diff hist −28 Cao CaoRemoved Old Chinese version of Cao Cao's name. Baxter-Sagart (2014:1-2) define Old Chinese as, narrowly, the earliest stage of Chinese reconstructible from Chinese evidence & broadly, all varieties of Chinese before Qin dynasty; Cao Cao lived during the Eadstern Han period's last years, after Old Chinese had no longer been spoken.
  • 15:2915:29, 2 March 2024 diff hist −8 Rebellion of the Three GuardsCorrected small mistake. The exact wording of fn. 112, p. 65 in Li (2006) is "brothers [of King Wu of Zhou] left to guard the Shang heartland"; Cui Shu & Liu Qiyu (apud Li) merely state that Huoshu was not among those, not the historical existence of Huoshu
