• 06:2306:23, 25 May 2021 diff hist −113 m Raja Koduri →Career: Deletion. The citation does not support claims that Raja was a co-creator for Crossfire or established a multi-year GPU roadmap, particularly during the years 2003-2009 before he left AMD for Apple. Any responsibility/contributions to an AMD multi-year GPU roadmap would have occurred after he returned to AMD in 2013, which this citation does not support. ATI's first multi-year roadmap occurred in 2003, and through 2013 was the responsibility of parties other than Raja Koduri.

If anyone merits credit for the creation of the pixel it may be Paul Nipkow who describes it in a 1888 German patent. Whoever made these claims in this entry should have read Wikipedia's own entry on the pixel, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel.

You're stating that a completely useless citation is authoritative. The cited wikipedia article references the helicopterpage.com, which in turn has a page (unique-to-helicopters) which discusses the WSPS in detail. Tag: Undo

30 November 2018

• 08:3508:35, 30 November 2018 diff hist +33 Bell OH-58 Kiowa →Wire Strike Protection System: Wires are cut by a "scissors" integral to the WSPS sword. "Blade" should be reserved for rotor blade references to avoid confusion. Rotor blade control tubes (not the blades themselves) which control the blade pitch become entangled, thereby causing loss of control. The OH-58 uses skids and other landing gear such as floats, thus the generic term "landing gear" should be used. The original cited reference is to a generic company web-page with no relevance.
