Your edits to Gliding
Tom, I reversed your edits to gliding because of the multiple errors in style, fact and spelling. Words like 'very' and 'amazing' are not what you would expect in an encyclopaedia. Wikipedia is a world-wide project, so the reference to the UK record is not appropriate. The world distance record is over 3000km. Not all gliders fitted with engines are SLMGs. There were also a few typos. There was little in there which was worth preserving and frankly it was easier to reverse the whole lot. I suspect you are quite young, so please do not take this too badly. JMcC 10:32, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
