The removed text gives the false impression that Newton's Principia was not an original work. If this is disputed, then a proper reference should be given.

Isaac Newton
This is sloppy writing and gives the impression that it was Leibniz who first formulated calculus far ahead of Newton. Yet we know that Newton had described methods of calculus in private letters which were viewed by Leibniz before Leibniz published.

Isaac Newton
The idea that Newton had autism is pure, unfounded speculation. He lived three centuries ago and had a difficult to fathom personality. To suggest he had a form of autism is to engage in what could be construed as slander.

Edit for clarity. Newton did not just compile previous results of others work, but summarized his own work.

Heraclitus
Removed picture which depicts Heraclitus in a frenzied and unflattering light which belies his nature which we can extrapolate from his writings. In reality, there is no known image of Heraclitus.Tag: Visual edit

Removed picture of grave/crypt for aesthetic reasons ... if the original poster feels strongly, s/he can undo this change, and there will be no objection.

These passages, which detail claims made by Meier, do indicate megalomania since the claims are logically false.

Richard Wilhelm (sinologist)
Deleted sections containing unproven innuendo suggesting Wilhelm and Jung were Nazi sympathizers. Such sympathy has been soundly and emphatically repudiated by Jung himself.
