-Currently in `render`, you can only return one node; if you have, say, a list of divs to return, you must wrap your components within, say, one big `div` or `span` (or any other component).
+Currently in `render`, you can only return one node; if you have, say, a list of `div`s to return, you must wrap your components within, say, one big `div` or `span` (or any other component).
 
 Don't forget that JSX compiles into regular js, and returning two functions doesn't really make syntactic sense.

 With a controlled input component, specifying a `value` prevents the user from changing the input unless you desire so (more info [here](forms.html)).
 
-You might have ran into a problem where you specified a `value` but the input can still be changed. In this case, you might have accidentally set your `value` to `undefined` or `null`. The snippet below shows this phenomenon; after a second, the text can be edited.

+`componentWillReceiveProps` isn't triggered after the node is put on scene. This is by design. Check out [other lifecycle methods](component-specs.html) for the one that suits your needs.
 
 The reason for that is because `componentWillReceiveProps` often handles the logic of comparing with the old props and act upon changes; not triggering it at mounting, where there are no old props, clearly defines what the method should do.
