January 2021
Hello, I'm N2e. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Starship development history, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. N2e (talk) 13:04, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Starship development history, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. ''Seriously, you need to add a source for making a change to the numbers in an article.

Alternatively, if you have a source that supports your view elsewhere in the article, then use that source, and also clarify what you are doing in an edit comment. Cheers.'' N2e (talk) 16:32, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

SN5 status
The tweet referenced does not support completely support it is going to be scrapped, only the mass simulator. Chris B @NASASpaceflight replies that its mass simulator might just be removed to use SN5 for a HLS mockup. I'd wait until we have more sources to say definitely that it will be scrapped. Thank you for your other contributions to the article. N828335 (talk) 15:32, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Update: I see that other sections are being scrapped. Feel free to add this back in, just make sure to add the necessary references. Thanks! N828335 (talk) 16:11, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Starship development history
Thank you for your continued contributions to Starship development history! However, it seems that you are putting a large amount of details in the table of prototypes. Please put all but a short summary in the article body, there are sections for all the major prototypes, like SN7.2. Also note that the table is too wide to fit, even on my large monitor. Proof tests, wet dress, and preburners is a bit much... Keep in mind everyone of these numbers would need a source, anyways. N828335 (talk) 17:08, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

February 2021
Hello, I'm Skingo12. I noticed that in this edit to Starship development history, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Skingo12 (talk) 09:39, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Gial Ackbar. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, List of Starship flights, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Gial Ackbar (talk) 20:02, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Starship development history, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Deletion of Starship SN15 and BN3
You deleted my addition of Starship SN15 and BN3 without explaining why. This change has been reverted. 64.121.103.144 (talk) 00:36, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I have explained why on the talk page of the List Of Starship Flights Article. Scroll down to the bottom to find it. Thanks for your cooperation. FinTGM (talk) 07:41, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

New Dispute Resolution Request Started!
There is now a dispute resolution request about whether we should add SN15 and BN2 to List of Starship flights. Please add your comments. 64.121.103.144 (talk) 16:24, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

New Draft
You are requested to edit and add resources to Draft:Starship SN11. It has been declined a few times after I created it, so I would like help from another editor. 64.121.103.144 (talk) 23:54, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I wouldn’t recommend creating a page for SN11. The details of the testing campaign for SN11 are already detailed on the Starship Development History page.FinTGM (talk) 12:21, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Sheila Bordelon moved to draftspace
Hi, I have decided to move Sheila Bordelon to Draft:Sheila Bordelon for now since it has no content and you have indicated that you will be working on it. You can move the page back to Sheila Bordelon after you have finished creating the article. Thanks! ~ Aseleste  (t, e &#124; c, l) 12:06, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

New WikiProject
You are invited to edit Draft:Wikipedia:WikiProject SpaceX (company). 64.121.103.144 (talk) 00:54, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

WikiProject Rocketry
Attention! You are needed at this WikiProject! You are a candidate for Assistant Project Coordinator because of your hard work on WikiProject Spaceflight. If you are interested, let me know. 64.121.103.144 (talk) 19:32, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Starship Campaign Refs
FWIW, I didn't introduce refs to 'The starship campaign' on Starship development article and am perhaps a little sceptical of it being a RS. I just thought we should have consistency between the table and the future prototypes text. Reverting my edit has reintroduced that inconsistency. So you may want to change the future prototypes section too. Ah sorry you have got to that now. C-randles (talk) 15:47, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

However re SN17, NasaSpaceflight is a RS and per ref says "SN17’s fate is known, with sections of what was to become that Starship now observed as being scrapped at the Production Site." I think that is good enough. C-randles (talk) 15:50, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Engine failures in intro?
Hi, could you please provide some input at Talk:SpaceX Starship orbital test flight Thanks, RAN1 (talk) 14:53, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

Removal of engine failures in starship flight test article
Hello, you recently reverted a section claiming that are no confirmed sources on the loss of engines, but SpaceX themselves have confirmed in the description of the flight test on their website that "The vehicle experienced multiple engines out during the flight test, lost altitude, and began to tumble.", and even though the exact number is up for debate, the fact is that SpaceX confirmed that there were multiple engine failures, and the telemetry in the bottom of the official SpaceX livestream shows that there were at least 5 engines that were malfunctioning by the end of the flight, and 3 were malfunctioning upon launch. And I, Horizon206, already cited this official SpaceX statement in my edit (that you later removed). I believe that since SpaceX has confirmed that engine failures are indeed something that happened, it is fair to include assumptions regarding that information, especially from well-trused astronomers and articles. Perhaps you missed the SpaceX statement stating that it was an engine failure, but if you were to have checked the sources on my edit you would have seen that I have cited SpaceX themselves. I think that your removal of my section was overzealous, especially now that there is a different edit that says there were engine failures and doesn't even have a citation for it. I think my edit should be restored, and I would like to hear your opinion about this now that you know my side. Thanks, Horizon206 (talk) 15:26, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
