April 23[edit]

Fulgurite: vandalism or proper fixings?[edit]

While adding a brief historical context section to that lemma I noticed some former changes of another IP which I doubt to be correct. Please could somebody countercheck, since I have no access to the referenced Elsevier source documents from which the data has been obviously originally taken. Here the difflinks in question:

Special:Diff/1218613828 Section or not a section?
Special:Diff/1218613911 Greater or less than 100.000 Volts? Grounding or grounding substrate?
Special:Diff/1218614055 Second half of a sentence was removed. Does that make sense?
Special:Diff/1218614423 Negative or positive? Discharge or charge?
Special:Diff/1218614559 100 million volts or only 100 volts?

I would tend to revert these unverified changes, they look illogicaly to me, but wanted to ask here first.

Many thanks! --92.117.130.94 (talk) 05:06, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

P.S.: Maybe there is a need to improve my wording or grammar in the historical section I have added, since I'm not an English language native speaker, sorry if I've used unusual or strange wording. --92.117.130.94 (talk) 05:12, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for noticing. I've reverted these edits because they look like vandalism to me. HansVonStuttgart (talk) 08:13, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
