Your new orbit article

Hi, I noticed you wanted to update/edit the orbit article. Now you saved a version of it here on the talk page which is very impractical, as nobody can contact you on your talk page. So I took the liberty and moved it to User:Kerbin Dallas Multipass/Orbit. Feel free to create pages in your userspace (User:Kerbin Dallas Multipass/...) to test the wiki syntax or buffer articles. And then a note to your article: It looks like the differences are minimal and complete so I'm wondering why you duplicated the article. I would recommend preparing a page in your userspace only when you planning on replacing the complete article (like User:Greys), because whenever somebody makes a change to Orbit you have to reflect those changes in your test. The difference being that the orbit article isn't drastically outdated or written bad. — xZise [talk] 04:07, 6 September 2013 (CDT)

Hi, sorry for saving the article in the wrong place. I was working on the new section "Terminology" on the orbit article, so theres little danger that anyone would change that section. Since I was having layout problems with the pictures I just copied almost the entrie article. Anyway, my idea was this: Add the most beginner- and wiki-relevant terms (inclination, eccentricity, apoapsis+periapsis), each with an ingame screenshot for illustration. For this to work I need the illustrations show up next to the text and not all over the place like in my current version. You think this is a good idea or should I better just add the screenshots to the Terminology section? --Kerbin Dallas Multipass (talk) 14:33, 6 September 2013 (CDT)
