Good (or "good enough")?[change source]

New changes[change source]

@CactiStaccingCrane: I think the article's language might be a little too simple Nigos (talk | changes) 06:11, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, will yeet it and build it again lol CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 06:14, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
... What is the name of this wikipedia? We should simplify it as much as possible until the point that:
  • phrases are repeatedly used to explain a singular word
  • information held in complex words are lost due to lack of detail
  • the article size massively increases due to phrases instead of singular words replacing complex words
These are self made observations, and I think the article is actually more complex than it needs to be. Try stuffing it into a reading scale and ideally aim for grade 5. No less, no more.

Agree, it is time to nuke the article and build it again I guess :) CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 06:22, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Elytrian Do you think the lede is good now? CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 06:42, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's true, I guess it should be simplified more then Nigos (talk | changes) 14:25, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Should SI units be in front of US imperial units, or should the US units be in front? Nigos (talk | changes) 14:25, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
SI in front. Lede is good. 💠Ely - Talk💠 06:10, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox (not accurate)[change source]

"Launch history
Status
Building or structure under construction ". 2001:2020:307:955C:DDA7:4EB4:2357:CE78 (talk) 16:40, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. Text has been removed. 2001:2020:32F:ECE9:950F:A575:93E6:A963 (talk) 21:05, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Moved to discussion[change source]

"As of October 2021, SpaceX again skipped some Starship and Super Heavy. They are SN16, SN17, SN18, and SN19."--This is at least partially in error.--Flights and test flights will be done by notable spacecrafts, while some spacecraft will not make the cut, for whatever reason. 2001:2020:307:955C:1CCB:CB10:98D3:FC25 (talk) 19:22, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Starting the article on the right foot?[change source]

"Starship is a rocket made out of stainless steel by SpaceX, a company that works in the atmosphere and space".--Please anyone, make the start of this article, good enough. (I will be looking at other challenges, in regard to the article.) 2001:2020:32F:A3C0:ACBF:8E7A:4CE9:D57A (talk) 15:09, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A partial suggestion of what can be said: "... a company that builds and sends rockets between Earth and space". 2001:2020:32F:A3C0:ACBF:8E7A:4CE9:D57A (talk) 15:14, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. (Thanks to user:Angerxiety). 2001:2020:32F:A3C0:80E:FC2C:BB98:750A (talk) 18:25, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Attribution[change source]

I have copied a table from en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SpaceX_Starship_orbital_test_flight&oldid=1151856055. 2001:2020:32F:A3C0:80E:FC2C:BB98:750A (talk) 18:18, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove (if no one has idea how the text should be improved)[change source]

The Space Shuttle could only carry 27.5 metric tons (61,000 lb) to the International Space Station, however.[1]

[Needs fixing or removal from article:]

In this example, the International Space Station has an even lower orbit than Starship.

{{Efn|The International Space Station orbits 407 km (253 mi) high at 51.64° inclination. Starship in this case orbits 500 km (310 mi) high at 98.9° inclination.[2]

Comment: I will be busy looking at other challenges in this article. 2001:2020:32F:ECE9:A9F9:2DBE:10B2:FD03 (talk) 17:02, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"evaporates the heat"[change source]

I would like a second opinion, that those 3 words are unlikely to be a good fit.--Afterwards, anyone or myself, can try to knock that into better shape. Thanks, 2001:2020:333:F9E3:950E:B686:7096:338E (talk) 20:53, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
