- 15:2715:27, 10 June 2024 diff hist −2 Kola Superdeep Borehole →Similar projects: China - changed "On 4 March 2024" to "In March 2024" - exact date is irrelevant to the much deeper Kola borehole current

- 16:0316:03, 9 June 2024 diff hist −83 Kola Superdeep Borehole Introduction - longer borehole in Qatar - reduced amount of details - this is supposed to be a summary of the article not a repetition of text
- 15:5015:50, 9 June 2024 diff hist −7 Kola Superdeep Borehole Introduction - changed "Drilling at Kola SG-3 began on 24 May 1970" to ""Drilling at Kola SG-3 began in 1970" - exact date and month was too detailed for Introduction section

- 15:4415:44, 9 June 2024 diff hist +4 Kola Superdeep Borehole Kola SG-3 - changed "originally intended" to "was originally intended" - a borehole cannot intend to do anthying
- 15:4115:41, 9 June 2024 diff hist +3 Kola Superdeep Borehole Introduction - first sentence - changed "deepest manmade hole" to "deepest human-made hole" - see MOS:GNL

8 June 2024
- 14:5614:56, 8 June 2024 diff hist −3 Kola Superdeep Borehole →Research: depths - reformatted to have metric and imperial both as numeric instead of metric as words and imperial as numbers

- 14:2714:27, 8 June 2024 diff hist +9 Kola Superdeep Borehole Introduction - changed "For two decades" to "For almost three decades" - Kola became the deepest hole in 1979 at 9,584 m even though it was drilled even deeper until 1989 finally reaching more than 12,200 m - it did not become the deepest hole only at completion
- 14:1814:18, 8 June 2024 diff hist +53 Kola Superdeep Borehole →Records: changed "Kola Superdeep Borehole was also the longest borehole in the world from 1989 to 2008" to "Kola Superdeep Borehole has been the world's deepest borehole since 1979. It was also the longest borehole in the world from 1979 to 2008." - changed to 1989 to 1979 (when Kola broke Oklahoma's world record depth); I find no mention of Kola being longest and deepest from 1989 to 2008 in the two cited source references
- 13:3613:36, 8 June 2024 diff hist 0 Kola Superdeep Borehole →Records: Al Shaheen BD-04A changed "and depth of just 1,387 metres" to "but depth of just 1,387 metres" to emphasize that Al Shaheen's depth does not remotely challenge Kola's depth
- 13:3013:30, 8 June 2024 diff hist −12 Kola Superdeep Borehole →Records: changed "Kola Superdeep Borehole was both the longest and deepest borehole in the world from 1989 to 2008" to "Kola Superdeep Borehole was also the longest borehole in the world from 1989 to 2008" - removed possible confusion about deepest - Kola has been the deepest since 1989 and this did not end in 2008
7 June 2024
- 20:2020:20, 7 June 2024 diff hist 0 Anthropocene Introduction - changed a comma to a semicolon

- 19:1819:18, 7 June 2024 diff hist −102 Asteroid Introduction - removed "For that "asteroid" is a term used liberally in popular culture for any such astronomical objects." - seems grammatically incorrect, too ambiguous and does not make sense
