Space Elevator

Hello EngineeringIsFun,

Thanks for joining us on Space Elevator. I want to explain the partial reverts I (and Tarl) made.

It's hard for others to review changes when there are so many all at once. It helps to get them through if they're done it small bites. When an edit gets ignored, that means it was reviewed and no one had too big a problem with it -- and that's a successful edit! :-) Even when it's ignored, be assured though that it was reviewed, and that all edits are looked at (or attempted to be looked at). If too many edits are made at once, it's hard for those silent reviewers to figure out what the heck was done. In that case, if the job of looking it over is too difficult it often results in a revert of all of it, regardless of what inside the whole shebang might actually be "good".

Your large block of edits wasn't fully reverted, which is unusual. But, it was a lot of work to figure it all out (for the parts that I was able to figure out). In the end I did simply revert the edits done to the "Related Concepts" because it was all very confusing yes, but also because "Related concepts" are a side discussion and somewhat off-topic and too-much discussion of it would be fully off topic.

I left in some other changes because I could more easily see what was done. Because I was able to see those changes, I was able to see that they were okay.

Anyway, I just wanted you to know where I was coming from in the large-ish reverts I (and Tarl) made. In the future, on Space Elevator and on other pages, it will help to make smaller (one change per edit) edits and to make only a few of them before waiting a bit before making more edits. That way nobody has to drink from a fire hose.

I'm somewhat puzzled here. I didn't think Space Elevator was protected, so I'm not sure what you're doing here. Have you considered just assume good faith? EngineeringIsFun (talk)
