 * What a nonsense. 2001:4BC9:A46:7524:6454:D23E:F721:A809 (talk) 10:34, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, there was a reason to revert. He was the first human in outer space, and you have changed that to being the first to orbit the earth. That is a substantial change of the meaning. Mako001 (C) (T)  10:39, 15 February 2022 (UTC)


 * And I have made an edit summary I urge you to read. The atmosphere extends beyond hundreds of miles from the Earth. You say he was the first human in outer space. So what is outer space according to you? When in 1954 Arthur W. Murray reached more than 90,000 ft (27.5 km), he was declared America's "first space pilot". When in 1956 Iven C. Kincheloe reached 126,300 ft (38.5 km) he was acclaimed as the first human into space. 2001:4BC9:A46:7524:6454:D23E:F721:A809 (talk) 11:00, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
 * The definition of space used by these articles will have been determined by consensus. I suggest that you don't try to make substantial changes to that definition, as you are doing, without gaining support for your changes. A good place to do so would be at WikiProject Spaceflight and WikiProject Aviation. You might find information on the bold, revert, discuss cycle helpful. I am well aware that the atmosphere extends hundreds of miles/kilometres above the surface, indeed some suggest that it extends a few thousand miles/kilometres above the earth's surface. I understand that you are using the definition of space which says that space starts from the top of the stratosphere, at about 35 km above the earth's surface. Other definitions exist however, including the Karman Line. However these are just two definitions, others exist, and I suggest that you don't alter the articles to favour a different definition to the one currently used without gaining support for your changes. Cheerio and happy editing! 🙂 Mako001 (C) (T)  22:17, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
