/* Criminal proceedings */ Erased outdated information as mentioned by me on the Talk page.
- Cabin pressurizationEdited 5/20/2026, 10:34:26 AM
Erased edit by [[Special:Contributions/~2026-30216-69|~2026-30216-69]] ([[User talk:~2026-30216-69|talk]]). Increasing cabin altitude and reducing cabin pressure are the same thing, and they make conditions more onerous for passengers. For increased passenger comfort it is appropriate to increase cabin pressure during cruise and this is equivalent to reducing the cabin altitude.
- Allen AylettEdited 5/17/2026, 12:06:52 PM

/* Resources and industry */Erased redundant word, probably a remnant of some previous sentence construction.
- ViscosityEdited 4/23/2026, 10:36:19 PM
Slow-moving fluids are displaying their viscosity. Stickiness is a different property.
- Beechcraft StarshipEdited 4/23/2026, 12:15:08 AM
It is anomalous to link total number of aircraft constructed to the date of the first flight.

/* Specifications */Avoiding false precision by using a more realistic conversion from feet to metres.
- Kegworth air disasterEdited 4/19/2026, 5:18:43 AM
/* top */ Erased sentence marked “Citation needed” for a week. The sentiment of the sentence reflects a non-neutral point of view, and is not seen elsewhere in the body of the article.
- Branch DavidiansEdited 4/16/2026, 11:24:51 PM
/* Aftermath */Erased redundant, unencyclopaedic words.
- Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21Edited 4/15/2026, 12:35:35 PM
/* Known MiG-21 aces */ The image clearly shows an aircraft in flight. It isn't necessary for the caption to explain that the aircraft is "in flight".
- Schneider ES-59Edited 4/14/2026, 10:24:47 PM
Erased mention of link to external image that is no longer available.
- USS Phoenix (CL-46)Edited 4/12/2026, 6:38:27 AM
Syntax. Avoiding the clause “… during the Falklands war by HMS Conqueror.”
- British nuclear weapons and the Falklands WarEdited 4/12/2026, 6:12:35 AM
Resolved ambiguity by erasing half a dozen words. The ambiguity was whether Resolution was sent to the South Atlantic, or whether it was there to attack Argentina. Elsewhere in the article it becomes clear that Resolution remained in the North Atlantic so there are no grounds for debating whether it was in the South Atlantic to attack Argentina or for some other purpose.
- Kegworth air disasterEdited 4/12/2026, 2:39:46 AM
Citation needed. The Certificate of Airworthiness is issued to an individual aircraft.
- Kegworth air disasterEdited 4/11/2026, 12:42:49 PM

/* Royal Air Force */ Syntax. Operation Granby was not conducted at RAF Brize Norton!
- Rutan VoyagerEdited 4/8/2026, 2:56:05 AM

- Indonesia AirAsia Flight 8501Edited 4/3/2026, 12:44:19 PM
/* Final NTSC report */ Activation of a stall warning does not indicate the aircraft has lost lift. It indicates the wing is at risk of stalling.

/* Temporary flight restrictions */ Erased text related to one particular temporary flight restriction. See the most recent section on the Talk page.
- Inviscid flowEdited 3/26/2026, 11:00:10 AM
Erased paragraph marked “citation needed” for over a week. The claim that some inviscid flows are rotational looks unlikely, especially as no reliable source is cited.
- Simon WoolfordEdited 3/24/2026, 8:29:14 AM
/* Playing career */Unencyclopaedic to use a pronoun at the first mention of the subject in a Section. Reduced capitalisation of hooker.

/* Notes */ Erased unencyclopaedic detail. See also my previous edit.
- Douglas SBD DauntlessEdited 3/21/2026, 12:44:56 PM

/* Personal life */Unencyclopaedic to use a pronoun at the first mention of the subject in a section.
- Nic Fiddian-GreenEdited 3/20/2026, 1:01:21 PM
/* Career */Unencyclopaedic to use a pronoun at the first mention of the subject in a section.
- Hydraulic headEdited 3/20/2026, 6:31:30 AM
/* Definition */ It isn't true to say hydraulic head is equal to gravitational potential energy per unit weight. The lead correctly states that hydraulic head "is a measurement related to liquid pressure ..." The height of a static column of fluid can be measured using a stand pipe, and such a pipe reflects the static pressure at a point in a body of fluid.
- Inviscid flowEdited 3/17/2026, 8:45:07 PM

- Ballistic pendulumEdited 3/15/2026, 11:11:10 AM
Pendulums of this kind can be used to measure the momentum of small, high-speed objects in general. The bullet is one example.
- Islamic Republic of Iran Air ForceEdited 3/14/2026, 12:12:31 PM
/* top */ The cited source is dated June 2025 so this sentence must be referring to the twelve-day war in mid-2025.
- Islamic Republic of Iran Air ForceEdited 3/14/2026, 12:05:27 PM
/* top */ Replaced link to a disambiguation page with a more specific target article.
- Compression ratioEdited 3/12/2026, 11:03:26 AM

- History of atomic theoryEdited 3/6/2026, 1:35:30 PM
/* Discovery of isotopes */ “an atom”; not “a atom”.
- Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation SystemEdited 3/3/2026, 1:07:46 PM
/* Background */A stick shaker is a stall warning device. It is not a “basic pitch control system” and it does not “avoid stalling.”
- FlightEdited 3/3/2026, 10:55:47 AM
/* Forces */ Stability is something else. If these forces are balanced Newton’s first law of motion applies and the aircraft experiences no acceleration so speed is constant and steady flight occurs.
- Coefficient of performanceEdited 3/3/2026, 1:03:24 AM
“Archived copy” is an unsatisfactory title for an in-line citation.
- FlightEdited 3/2/2026, 12:04:15 PM
/* Physics */ Removed poor diagram that has been rendered unnecessary by a superior diagram of a biplane aircraft. The diagram showed an airfoil section labelled with the forces that act on an airplane.
