"OLM" and Redacted II

I came here to comment that nobody still uses "OLM" for the starting mounts, which are officially called by SpaceX "Pad A" and "Pad B". WP should stick to official terms, not invent or use outdated ones. More worrying is that I found Redacted II to have reverted completely valid edits, and without any justification or reason given. The first was a simple typo, but then I checked a second one and found that the source given ideed speaks about September, not October for flight 11. Thus, why is he reverting things back to the worse, not giving edit summaries, and acting like only he knows best? That is disrespectful, disruptive and just bad mannors. And checking past talk pages and discussion, that seems not to be the first time he was found guilty of acting like that. Any thoughs on why that can be and is tolerated? 2A01:599:241:EE6C:5C54:D70E:59DE:32C5 (talk) 17:45, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

First, WP:PA.

Second, the source states October.

"This test could occur in the October time frame." For the exact quote. So, where are you seeing September? Because it's certainly not in the article.

Second, for "tens/teens", I have literally never heard "high tens" before. It's always "high teens".

I'd forgotten to give an edit summary on that revert.

OLM is used to this day, but it's not all that common. The official names are OLP-1/2.

I've been editing Starship related pages for over two years now, so... OLM is a force of habit. Redacted II (talk) 00:47, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a personal attack it's a page ownership issue. Starship related pages are so mediocre that they're useless thanks to a teenager with too much free time. 2A02:A03F:622D:9800:107:8AFA:C794:A257 (talk) 11:45, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You have a history or WP:NPOV and WP:PA issues.

I'd recommend stopping. But we can continue this at ANI if you really want to. Redacted II (talk) 12:00, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Block 2 boosters

Is there any reference that specifically indicates that boosters B14, B15, B16, and B17 are Block 2 boosters? AmigaClone (talk) 03:37, 9 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
