message: The "Eve" launch vehicle event (related to White Knight 2?) is in the news a lot recently.  More material would be great!
Does someone want to clean-up the phrasing in the White Knight Two section? "Prophecy" is not a verb as used in that sentence. I suggest, "At the time, Branson predicted the maiden space voyage would have taken place in 18 months"...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.102.35.14 (talk) 02:58, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Because it seems like who ever wrote this article seems he as God himself.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.190.38.84 (talk) 04:57, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Ha Ha Ha!  That's funny!  Indeed, in the aviation and aeronautical engineering community, Rutan IS God! (figuratively of course).  I tried to remove some of the gushing in the first paragraph.  He has done many great things in aeronautics though and I can see how first drafters could find it hard to restrain from honoring his holiness .... um.... ah.... I mean "...restrain from honoring him".  :-)  108.7.3.86 (talk) 05:14, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Rutan is obviously a much heralded aviation pioneer, as is supported by many well-referenced claims about his various accomplishments in aviation design.  Still, if claims are made in this Wikipedia article that reflect synthesis or original research rather than well-written summaries of reliable, published, secondary sources, then those specific claims ought to be fixed, tagged or removed.

message: "each of Rutan's designs have often been quite dissimilar from their predecessors"
States the current article, section 2 Aircraft designs. 
Translated from the original Gibberish? (LAT Website currently unavailable in Europe).
If the designs were that "quite dissimilar" they would not fly.
If the designs are different they are ALWAYS different, not "often".

message: Here: Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Burt_Rutan_and_major_reduction_in_presenting_his_views_on_environment_and_climate_change? -- Yae4 (talk) 21:20, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  FYI, Discussion at BLPN 

message: , I think you added a good content to the article with your edit here but it might be better to put more of this into the article body rather than the lead.  For example, the part about Rutan getting started by copying sailplanes is good info for perhaps the history Life and career section or perhaps the aircraft section.  It doesn't seem to rise to the level of most significant aspects about Rutan and thus placed in the lead (which is was already a bit long).  Is there enough information in the source to expand the information about his material use?  If yes I think it would be good to perhaps add a paragraph or two in the body as part of a lead section of the Aircraft Designs section.  The current LA Times quote is nice and fluffy but short on facts/evidence.  I like your content better in that regard (though I would keep both). Springee (talk) 03:32, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
