Hyperloop

You made some suggestions for reorganizing/improving the Hyperloop article Theory and operation section, on the Talk page, about a month ago. Consensus was achieved, largely in line with your suggestions, (discussion is now in the Talk page archive, here but those changes and the expansion of that section of the article have never really happened.

I've noticed that the article has recently begun to have more to say about criticism of the alpha-design, and about people who are suggesting (whether open-source or not) improvements on the design, then it does about the alpha design itself. In my view, your suggested enhancements would still be most welcome. And I would be happy to help review and copy edit, if you ping me on my Talk page and mention you've started on any work there.

As for sources, there are now quite a number of sources (both in the article, and others mentioned on the Talk page or Talk page archive 1). In addition, I don't believe you'll get much pushback from other editors on pulling specs and the basic description of the alpha-level design and technology directly from the publically-released design doc. Specs in most technical articles typically come from WP:Primary sources (a company, or organization, etc.) Cheers. N2e (talk) 01:50, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
