My photo being vandalized?

I read on the edit history that Streamline8988 removed my image of a wind turbine due to "vandalism." What happened? I have not visited this page for a while since I uploaded my own photo but I know it was there for a decent amount of time until its removal.

Tallest Turbine Update Request

After doing some research on wind turbines, I decided to check to see if the Nordex 3.3 MW is still the tallest turbine. It is not anymore. The tallest is now a German-made turbine that is around 247 meters tall(170 meters to the top of the tower.) It was built by the company Max Bögl Wind AG in 2017. - MilesMcintyre

Can the following be added to the section Wind turbine#Demolition and recycling:

Used wind turbine blades have been recycled by incorporating them as part of the support structures within pedestrian bridges in Poland^[1] and Ireland.^[2]

Doing now. Since I The Verge uses CompositesWorld when sourcing the Poland bridge it's probably reliable. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 17:07, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Technology / Costs

In this section, it should read out “As of 2020, installing a wind turbine may cost around $1.11 million per megawatt of installed capacity.”

This both updates the latest year cited in the source article as well as fixes the incorrect notion that a single megawatt of energy produced costs $1 million. The existing sentence seems to confuse energy production and instantaneous power 71.183.72.35 (talk) 17:02, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please change "and, the most favorable" (last sentence of first paragraph of article) to "and . . . the most favourable".

Reason: The ungrammatical comma after "and" is also a misquotation. The quoted source reads, "lowest relative greenhouse gas emissions, the least water consumption demands and with the most favourable social impacts" (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1364032108000555). Substituting ellipsis for "with" preserves both grammar and accuracy. 72.95.95.49 (talk) 17:22, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Efficience to weight ratio

2MW weighs 220Tons of molten metals, 12MW weighs 660 Tonnes, that's a 200% effieciency rise. The 12MW HaliadeX can melt 660 tons of metal in 8 days. Over its 8000 day (25yr) lifetime, it can make 1000 other turbines of green steel. If the base is reused 50 to 100 years, that efficience can quadruple. 2A02:8440:531A:1425:B9FD:1AF8:1EFE:4D10 (talk) 05:40, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
