• 23:4123:41, 11 August 2022 diff hist +852‎ Daminozide ‎ Created a further reading section, adding to it a Groth letter [pro NRDC] in response to a Dan Kpshland editorial [pro EPA]. Noted the general issue here with earlier placed end of paragraph/sentence citations.
• 23:2723:27, 11 August 2022 diff hist +233‎ Daminozide ‎ →‎Current views: Checked and repaired the Sadowitz and Graham citation. Noted that the Consumers Union factual statement is unsupported by that end of sentence citation, which only supports the closing phrase. This calls into question, generally, the validity of citations appearing at end of sentences and paragraphs. Will note via <!-- markup which citations have been checked so far.
• 22:2622:26, 11 August 2022 diff hist +50‎ Daminozide ‎ →‎Current views: Broke the long opening paragraph of this section. Made clearer that the opening general sentence requires further updated sourcing. (The current single academic source regarding the matter being controversial is from 1991, with the latest being the LA Times report in 1994, both old and so inadequate as sole sources.)
• 22:2022:20, 11 August 2022 diff hist +1,967‎ Daminozide ‎ →‎Current views: Adding a sentence based on a primary source plus a review, showing negative medium term carcingenicity assay results. Also calling for further update of this sentence and topic. Probably needs a section unto itself. Field remains polarised, viewing this either as a media-driven over-reaction based on incomplete/bad science (see LA Times citation), versus a settled matter with sufficient science to pull a likely risk (see NRDC reporting, including its many op-eds).
• 21:4621:46, 11 August 2022 diff hist +796‎ Daminozide ‎ →‎U.S. campaign to ban Alar: Moved a long quoted passage to blockquote, to break up long sentence and paragraph. Added a quote to support the contention regarding the Oakes opinion piece. Removed second appearance of NRDC name in unabbreviated form. Removed third, later appearing citation regarding Uniroyal decision as redundant and unnecessary. Not tht the closing journal article needs a page number, and that section as a whole needs (others to continue) improving compliance to WP:VERIFY.

• 21:1021:10, 11 August 2022 diff hist +564‎ User talk:User-duck ‎ →‎Thank you for ending misconception and letting reality arrive
• 21:0521:05, 11 August 2022 diff hist +1,115‎ Daminozide ‎ Corrected the misrepresentation of US export of daminozide/alar as free and clear, using an Export-Import Bank citation related to the PIC program.
