Unblock. Malicious usage of irrelevant rule regarding living persons, which is anyway crazy given that the paroxysm of racial hatred was clearly documented in numerous videos. Armed protesters barred students from entering campus on the basis of their skin color and violently drove them from their classes. That's factually what happened.

Honky
This sentence pretends to know things that it doesn't know. We not only don't know the EXACT ORIGIN or THE ORIGIN. And it isn't GENERALLY UNKNOWN, but known by some small portion of scholars somewhere but we're not sharing with you it's UNKNOWN.

Dangerous and Wrong -- No Evidence of Mainstream Media Use by Non-Stylized Characters, No Normative Characters Signaling Offense-Taking. This is going to cost people jobs and cause needless racial animosity where none was intended.

Allen Weinstein
→Sexual assault allegations: Ditch the sarcastic quotation marks. Unprofessional. And weird. Are we sarcastically imagining that health reasons don't exist? Doesn't Parkinsons/meds don't cause this? (Look at the Parkinsons article. Sexual mania is a real side effect.)

I wouldn't trust *The Guardian* to tell me it were cloudy outside much less where commas go. Why are they cited here?

Differential equation
→Partial differential equations: Broke final sentence of first par into two. Parallism where it doesn't serve the pursuit brevity or clarity complicates the interpretive task of the reader between full stops. Fit the meaning of second sentence of the second par. into the first sentence of that par with ease. Killed pointless simile (no need for rhetroic there). Sundry edits for brevity ( PHENOMENA is general and refers to nature. Readers know sound is SEEMINGLY-DISTINCT from say heat, etc..)

Differential equation
→Ordinary differential equations: This humble improvement: if you bracket IN MANY CASES with two commas it becomes an aside, but the way it modifies ONE MAY EXPRESS THEIR SOLUTIONS IN TERMS OF INTEGRALS is essential to the meaning of the sentence. I have therefore removed a single comma.

→Capital: The first sentence confused the claims of Karl Marx with reality. In contemporary English such obstructive commas are not necessary. Also you do not put a comma after parenthesis.

National Review
→Defining the boundaries of conservatism: Substitute reputation for respectability. More concrete. Matter of taste (or if you drink Budweiser, drinkability). Also pared down some of the needless duality (perhaps included for the sake of rhetroical yin and yang). To definte the border of something means to exclude other things; no need to say both..

National Review
→Early years: The digression on the source of Buckley's family wealth seems pointless, as does the link to oil. People know what oil is. "Also remved "their own" because it's redundant (their implies possession already). And we might probably assume they're founding their own magazine.

National Review
Too many things happening at the same time in the edited sentence with both since and while. Also merged two parragraphs which didn't seem to be two parragraphs.

PBS
→Critical response: While it seems to be true that parents generally approve of PBS I don't think these citations prove that. Or that specific acclaim indicates general opinion. Better to keep claims modest.

Actually this is better capitalized than italicized, since it names a region. So it is not necessary to draw attention to the term as a term using italics.
