low 14,784 conflict weight over 5,177 revisions.
Low mutual-revert activity — changes were not heavily fought. Context only — contested ≠ biased.
Current text: median age 9.2 yr · 26.7% authored in the last 3 years · top-10 editors wrote 42.8% of it (428 distinct editors). Descriptive context only.

How the editions frame it
How language editions frame the same subject (critical / neutral / sympathetic). Gaps are a signal to inspect, not a conclusion.
Across editions, the framing agree closely (divergence 0.00 on a 0–2 scale).

Do the editions agree on facts?
Whether editions agree on load-bearing facts (counts, categories). Contradictions — especially ones later corrected — are worth checking.
| factual question | now |
|---|---|
| What are the inputs and outputs of the overall photosynthesis reaction? | agree |
| All agree: CO2+water+light in, carbohydrates/glucose+O2 out; he specifies glucose formula. | |
| In which cellular structure does photosynthesis take place? | differ |
| All mention chloroplasts; he adds thylakoids in prokaryotes, extra detail not incompatible. | |
Shared-source overlap (context only, skewed by edition language): now: 0.08.
What changed, and when
No confirmed pivot was detected for this article — L1 did not find a durable rewrite large enough to redline. Other layers (framing, facts, sources) may still apply.
