• 17:2417:24, 30 June 2012 diff hist +1,675‎ Talk:Wing configuration ‎ →‎IPs don't require permission to "be bold". Nobody does.: new section
• 16:5716:57, 30 June 2012 diff hist −393‎ Wing configuration ‎ →‎Dihedral and anhedral: Added warning not to confuse, should solve SP's valid concerns. Both of you haven't assumed much good faith here. Please look carefully at changes & integration of polyhedral. Don't summary revert good edits, fix them.
• 15:4215:42, 30 June 2012 diff hist −676‎ Wing configuration ‎ Undid revision 500025935 by Steelpillow (talk) I did discuss (in edit summary) and followed orders to be bold. Please review changes & try more constructive edits before summary revert.
• 15:3015:30, 30 June 2012 diff hist +56‎ Dihedral (aeronautics) ‎ →‎How dihedral angle creates dihedral effect and stabilizes the spiral mode: Good copy edit GraemeLeggett. Restored emphasis on distinction between DA, DE, & SM stability. ("creates a DE" implied that DE had been not previously covered).
• 03:2603:26, 30 June 2012 diff hist +6‎ Dihedral (aeronautics) ‎ minor - fixed up a link
• 03:1603:16, 30 June 2012 diff hist −676‎ Wing configuration ‎ →‎Dihedral and anhedral: Rmvd two off topic refs that were to "cranked arrow" (planform) vs. "cranked" (form of dihedral). Rmvd distracting "cranked arrow" words here (which actually made more confusion between expressions). Added polyhedral.

• 22:0722:07, 29 June 2012 diff hist +701‎ Non-rocket spacelaunch ‎ →‎Space elevator: Integrated wording from main space elevator article to cover the same material in the same way, but with new citations and the benefit of the improvements made there.
• 21:5421:54, 29 June 2012 diff hist −601‎ Non-rocket spacelaunch ‎ →‎Space elevator: "partial" SE is not a SE. Not even mentioned in main article, too arcane for this summary. Partial deployments are good for proofs of concept, but don't have the critical, defining ability to xfer ang. momentum to/from Earth.
• 21:4521:45, 29 June 2012 diff hist −324‎ Non-rocket spacelaunch ‎ →‎Space elevator: Removed uncited material not notable for a summary here. It is covered in the main article (not in the intro) and cited there.
• 21:4221:42, 29 June 2012 diff hist −49‎ Non-rocket spacelaunch ‎ →‎Space elevator: Cleared up need to have defined "skyhook" and corrected "geosynchronous" to "*above* the *level* of GEO". (Copied from main article)
• 21:3521:35, 29 June 2012 diff hist −183‎ Non-rocket spacelaunch ‎ →‎Space elevator: Removed the need for citation tag. The material was off topic. The non-rocket nature of the concepts is the subject here, not the costs.
• 21:3321:33, 29 June 2012 diff hist +10‎ Non-rocket spacelaunch ‎ →‎Space elevator: "inertia" is only one aspect of centrifugal force and it requires several mental steps that can only be made by knowledgeable people. "Inertia" amounts to jargon here, "centrifugal force" communicates! :-) .
• 21:2821:28, 29 June 2012 diff hist −217‎ Non-rocket spacelaunch ‎ →‎Space elevator: Removed uncited, digressive, off topic science lession. It's largely true (and interesting), but it's arcane and not notable for a summary.
• 21:2621:26, 29 June 2012 diff hist −46‎ Non-rocket spacelaunch ‎ →‎Space elevator: uncited, distracting. Also, "also called" names are addressed in main article.
• 21:2321:23, 29 June 2012 diff hist +34‎ Non-rocket spacelaunch ‎ →‎Space elevator: replaced broken diagram with the one in the Space Elevator article.
• 21:1721:17, 29 June 2012 diff hist −11‎ Non-rocket spacelaunch ‎ →‎SpaceShaft: (Note, this is the "next" edit ref'd below): "popular" is subjective, not applicable. Linked term to WP page to show "kind" of space elevator intended (i.e. "ISEC type" as previous wording said) (Same edit made in SpaceShaft article).
• 21:0721:07, 29 June 2012 diff hist −220‎ Non-rocket spacelaunch ‎ →‎SpaceShaft: Removed digressive science lessions.
• 21:0321:03, 29 June 2012 diff hist −220‎ Non-rocket spacelaunch ‎ →‎SpaceShaft: off topic -- (the problem it addressed is fixed in the next edit by avoiding referring to ISEC)
• 21:0021:00, 29 June 2012 diff hist −156‎ Non-rocket spacelaunch ‎ →‎SpaceShaft: Ref didn't support. Reworded better w/ reliable citation showing modern usage of the *term* "Space Elevator" (same edit made to SpaceShaft article). Removed subjective, POV, uncited "questionable criticism" digression..
• 20:5420:54, 29 June 2012 diff hist −54‎ Non-rocket spacelaunch ‎ →‎SpaceShaft: Removed off-topic digression to space elevator. Fixed up "orbital insertion" wording to the clearer and more coloquial "space launch" with clarification against ballistic launch too.
• 20:4920:49, 29 June 2012 diff hist −16‎ Non-rocket spacelaunch ‎ →‎SpaceShaft: "levitating" is unencyclopedically ambiguous, and mystical in tone (which is also unencyclopedic). Also changed "elevator" terminology so as to not lead to confusion with a Space Elevator.
