Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! 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. Materialscientist (talk) 00:18, 28 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I removed it again citing "Original Research, Uncited, POV". "...the current world risk of terrorism..." is also vague and off topic, it has a bit of POV too.  "Likely" is a key word that usually means "this is speculation" which is unencyclopedic (the required type of and level of security level asserted is OR and speculative).  You said "My comment that I stand by", which suggests original research.  That is, editors don't "stand by" their edits, references do.  The lack of a citation or seeming lack or a reference elsewhere doesn't mean that it's a free-for-all OR-fest for new text.  WP is not a forum for "author comments", rather, "editors" make "edits" (it's a subtle difference: "author" suggests original research from some "authority" while "editor" suggests the source is some reliable source other than the editor)


 * Security for space elevators is a thing, though. You can fix the undone edits by researching reliable sources other than yourself, and citing them.  Personally I happen to think that, because of the vulnerability of SE's to attack below about 80,000 feet, a private company would indeed be hard-pressed to protect them, and so a large military would be needed which would make them more like "national" assets.  On the other hand, if they can be built cheap and light, security might only need to be very light.
