27 February 2024

• 09:5109:51, 27 February 2024 diff hist −15 Geology of the Broads The constant scare-quoting of "national park" looks snarky and is annoying. I replaced most of them with the uncontentious term "the Broads". Also fixed some broken quotation marks.

29 January 2024

• 08:1908:19, 29 January 2024 diff hist +86 Calcium acetate →Natural occurrence: "likely" anthropogenic: verification failed, as source lists possible origins as natural and man-made, without saying which is more likely. Removed unsourced speculation about "may soon be discredited".
