Add "Brazilian-born" before "Portuguese priest" when referring to Gusmão

Bartolomeu de Gusmão is born in Brazil and did most of his baloon work in Brazil. He is known as a historic figure of Brazil, and it seems quite eurocentric (and even racist) to treat him as Portuguese without any mention to Brazil.

I was planning add it directly (because it is anyway the way his own Wikipedia article describes him), but the article is protected... so I am adding this here in the talk. 2A02:8071:B82:6760:A5FB:F8E4:DD92:7D56 (talk) 11:48, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

As part of this assignment, I am expanding the theory of operations section a bit for the various types of balloons to provide a bit more clarity and I added a picture for the hybrid balloons as well since I felt like it was missing. - NGrahamMST

Gallons wrong under Combined Mass section

It says 376 liters is 20 gallons, but it's 10 gallons. 3.785 L = 1 gallon. 2603:6082:2800:61:B132:1DAE:4014:B855 (talk) 13:55, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
