Lambda calculus
too much technical jargon in the intro - Some topics are intrinsically technical, but editors should try to make them understandable to as many readers as possible.

Street photography
street photography is not also called candid photography. Street photography can include candid photography, but not all street photography is candid photography, and not all candid photography is street photography.Tag: Reverted

Basset Hound
→Appearance: Using the English language which is what an encyclopaedia is supposed to do, rather than have people needing to jump pages frequently just to understand what is being said.

River Forth
Adding a bit of information to the introduction so those like me who are not intimate with Scotland can have a sense of where it is immediately. Laymen should be able to get information quickly.

Firth of Clyde
When I looked it up, I wished it had said right near the top whether it was on the east or west coast of Scotland, me not being from the UK. So after having to unnecessarily go to yet another page to find out, I fixed the issue here.

Pericardial effusion
Changed dyspnea to "shortness of breath" since the latter is understandable to laymen (what an encyclopaedia should be). Also dyspnea actually redirects to "Shortness of breath"

Thompson River
Changed the source and mouth elevation to match those given in the source articles for those locations. e.g. Kamloops elevation was originally over 1000m when in reality it is 345m according to references in the Kamloops wiki page. I spotted the error as I know Kamloops well and knew the valley bottom was between 300 and 400m so found the exact value to fix the page. Lytton, the mouth has to be lower because rivers flow downhill. :)

White Oaks Secondary School
Removed opinion from the first paragraph that had no substantiated reference (only a link to the schools physical address page). Opinions in general should not be included in articles.

Sea louse
Changed the link to copapods to read the way it is supposed to. That is, understandable by a layman. The link allows the reader to access more technical info. Like how this is supposed to work. Articles need to stop reading like a doctoral dissertation.

Morquio syndrome
This article is too technical. It reads like a medical book. Encyclopaedias, including Wikipedia (as part of its guidelines) is supposed to provide meaningful in formation that is digestible by laymen.

2016 Fort McMurray wildfire
Added the number of people evacuated to the opening paragraph as it should be there for a complete summary. Following numbers also don't make sense without it.
