[edit]

@YesI'mOnFire, in response to your edit summary: notice how at the bottom of the "References" there's some big, bold, red text that says Cite error: A list-defined reference named "Move African Americans toward involvement in Mars missions" is not used in the content (see the help page). That is what I fixed in my revision of the page (notice the lack of big, bold, red text). If you want to keep that there, fine. It won't be my fault if someone else tries to fix it. Otherwise, please restore (or tell me to restore) my edit. Thanks! – Daℤyzzos (✉️ • 📤) 13:51, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DaZyzzogetonsGotDaLastWord Thank you for pointing out that for me, but when you tried to fix it, the ref list went haywire. That is why I reverted back to the latest good version and noticed that red bold text. I tried to remove it as it was not relecant to the article, but the ref list still has problems just like when you tried to fix it. Then I found out a really simple solution: closing the ref list with }}. It's all good now, so don't worry. 🔥YesI'mOnFire🔥(ContainThisEmber?) 14:59, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. That's funny, though. It looked perfectly normal on my end, but maybe that's just because I have the Vector 2010 skin (or you have a certain one). – Daℤyzzos (✉️ • 📤) 12:50, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I removed tautology on the Lead on the article. You are welcomed to review. Removed Redundant Phrase: I eliminated the repetition of "claims" by removing "claims such as" and using "statements" instead.

Original: "claims such as he invented the Internet and created the world's fastest computer" Revised: "statements about his achievements, such as inventing the Internet and creating the world's fastest computer" Reordered for Clarity: I rearranged the sentence slightly for better flow and clarity.

Original: "making controversial claims about his achievements that are disputed by the scientific community, claims such as he invented the Internet and created the world's fastest computer." Revised: "making controversial statements about his achievements, such as inventing the Internet and creating the world's fastest computer, which are disputed by the scientific community." Minor Edits for Conciseness: Changed "claims about his achievements" to "statements about his achievements" to avoid repetition and streamline the sentence. Wår (talk) 17:52, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
