- 21:37, 13 July 2018 diff hist +6 m Politicization of science →Examples: math error
- 21:36, 13 July 2018 diff hist +1 Politicization of science →Examples
- 21:36, 13 July 2018 diff hist -12 Politicization of science →Examples
- 21:35, 13 July 2018 diff hist +249 Politicization of science →Examples: The pope decided Copernicus was fine about a century after the Galileo persecution, he's definitively not still in jail
- 04:21, 16 April 2018 diff hist +428 Geocentrism →See also: Moved to a note
- 21:04, 15 April 2018 diff hist +180 m Geocentrism →See also: It's a related form of pseudoastronomy, but most geocentrists aren't actually flat earthers. Flat earthers are geocentrists in a way, but most of them don't believe that space exists at all, so using the term for them is odd
- 07:13, 3 August 2017 diff hist +83 Geocentrism →Debunking geocentrism: The purpose of the experiments cited was to measure aether wind and aether drag, respectively. The geocentrist claims that they're relevant to Earth's motion in an ''absolute'' sense are misinterpretations
- 06:52, 3 August 2017 diff hist +180 Dark energy →Evidence: Added trivia re: cosmological constant, and changed wording; the only people who don't accept some form of dark energy are laymen and crackpots. The theory is unsatisfying, but it's extremely strongly supported by multiple lines of evidence
- 06:42, 3 August 2017 diff hist +1 Austrian school →Even they admit they just pulled this stuff out of their asses: Calling the Austrian school "minor" is a hell of a compliment; more than it deserves
- 07:22, 30 January 2017 diff hist +1 m Conservative correctness →Liberal-bashing
- 07:41, 24 January 2017 diff hist -4 Regnery Publishing →Politically Incorrect Guides: Editing scienceblogs URL to current scienceblogs format; dead if clicked on currently
- 10:59, 29 December 2016 diff hist +195 Geocentrism The Tychonic system is a pretty good compromise, if you're a 17th century Astronomer who hasn't had the pleasure of Newton being born yet. Also, modern Geocentrists prefer the Tychonic system virtually exclusively.
- 20:52, 28 December 2016 diff hist -61 Aristarchus of Samos Missed the early claim of "ancient authors unanimously" state this of Aristarchus. Our only source on his heliocentrism is Archimedes.
- 20:49, 28 December 2016 diff hist +1,328 Aristarchus of Samos Cleaned up article to reflect modern scholarship; removed commonly quoted myth of Aristarchus' persecution.
- 20:21, 28 December 2016 diff hist -3 m Nicolaus Copernicus Comma instead of period; fixed.
- 20:19, 28 December 2016 diff hist +1,401 Geocentrism →History: Further expansion of sources, slight rewording of some sentences to reduce run-ons.
- 20:23, 25 December 2016 diff hist +290 N Talk:Nicolaus Copernicus Created page with "Article has been expanded, but still focuses on Copernicus' published work and eponymous solar system model. Sources expanded to include modern scholarship (original stub was ..." current
- 20:20, 25 December 2016 diff hist +2,791 Nicolaus Copernicus Overhaul to bring article in line with modern historiography
- 10:11, 25 December 2016 diff hist +1,075 Conservapedia talk:Conservapedian relativity →E.E. and freshman physics
- 09:19, 25 December 2016 diff hist +350 Johannes Kepler →Kepler's laws: Further historical background.
- 04:26, 30 November 2016 diff hist +210 Adding epicycles Added two sources to Copernican epicycle claim, which I believe was the cause for the source tag.
- 04:44, 29 November 2016 diff hist +788 Physics →Eighteenth century physics: Age of Newton
- 04:32, 29 November 2016 diff hist +11 Physics →Nineteenth century physics: Heat, electricity and magnetism, and chaos: Section is missing a verb
- 04:31, 29 November 2016 diff hist -1 Physics →Seventeenth century physics: Warming up: All of Galileo's observational discoveries were completely consistent with the Tychonic system, so it isn't correct to say that his observational work favored Heliocentrism.
- 04:19, 29 November 2016 diff hist +183 Talk:Adding epicycles
- 04:18, 29 November 2016 diff hist +1,895 Adding epicycles Added historical background. The idea that historical Astronomers added epicycles to epicycles is completely un-evidenced. Also added a very nice video demonstration of exactly how far "any shape" goes with Fourier Analysis
- 03:31, 29 November 2016 diff hist +707 Physics →Early physics: Edited Astronomy section to better reflect history. The observational stumbling blocks to Heliocentricity were well known at the time.
- 17:15, 13 October 2016 diff hist -52 Geocentrism →Modern geocentrism: Tychonic system explained earlier in article.
- 16:54, 13 October 2016 diff hist +326 m Geocentrism
- 00:21, 10 October 2016 diff hist -18 Geocentrism Sources expanded.
- 00:17, 10 October 2016 diff hist +735 Geocentrism
- 08:45, 6 July 2016 diff hist +582 Tycho Brahe →Geocentrism
- 08:22, 6 July 2016 diff hist +4 Talk:Anisotropic synchrony convention →Gravitational waves and ASC
- 08:22, 6 July 2016 diff hist +1,059 Talk:Anisotropic synchrony convention →Gravitational waves and ASC
- 07:57, 6 July 2016 diff hist +888 Tycho Brahe →Observations: More detail added to place his observations in the proper context
- 07:12, 6 July 2016 diff hist -1 m Tycho Brahe Format error
- 07:11, 6 July 2016 diff hist +45 Tycho Brahe The Tychonic system is Geoheliocentric, and historically that's an important distinction; will be looking over article for other issues
- 07:09, 6 July 2016 diff hist +75 m Talk:Geocentrism →History section: Forgot to sign
- 07:09, 6 July 2016 diff hist 0 m Geocentrism Updated time period for acceptance of heliocentrism; it was revived by Copernicus in the 16th century, but found very little support among Astronomers before the publication of the Rudolphine Tables
- 10:52, 5 July 2016 diff hist +613 Talk:Geocentrism →History section: new section
- 10:44, 5 July 2016 diff hist +8,937 Geocentrism →History: Rewrote section to include full history and reasoning, both for why Geocentrism won out in antiquity, and why Heliocentrism displaced it in the 17th century
- 06:23, 30 May 2016 diff hist -4 m Fundamentalist Mormonism →Boys in, and out, of the group: Altered use of "females" for women/girls, when boys/men aren't called "males"
- 02:52, 16 April 2016 diff hist +6 What the Bleep Do We Know? →Featured Individuals: Fixed Satinover's qualifications; the consciousness bits are nonsense, but Condensed Matter is in part a subfield of QM, and an MS in CondMat is hardly a total lack of qualifications.
- 07:54, 24 November 2015 diff hist +2 Talk:Thunderf00t →What the fuck is a
- 07:54, 24 November 2015 diff hist +1,065 Talk:Thunderf00t →What the fuck is a
- 21:03, 6 November 2015 diff hist +17 ArXiv We use arxiv for basically every paper in most fields of modern astronomy
- 06:29, 4 November 2015 diff hist +1,714 Talk:Health at every size →Someone doesn't understand the difference between "pseudoscience" and "something I disagree with."
- 16:03, 22 October 2015 diff hist -1 m Rightpedia →Contents: Seriously, stop referring to women as "females".
- 04:36, 20 October 2015 diff hist +1,158 Talk:Health at every size →Someone doesn't understand the difference between "pseudoscience" and "something I disagree with."
- 04:17, 20 October 2015 diff hist +221 Obesity →Body mass index: BMI has a second, unmentioned limitation: It underestimates obesity for BMI<25. Updated with source.
