Sure, that seems perfectly fine.
I recently made an edit on the Atomic Rockets article stating that particle beam weapons would kill everyone on board (which is from the article, BTW). I accidentally wrote that this was from bremsstrahlung radiation. It was since excised, because "Bremsstrahlung is an effect of a charged particle beam impacting a target, not an effect that occurs when a ship is using a particle beam weapon." The correct term is synchrotron radiation, where particles escape from curved portions of accelerators (and, in some circles, is referred to as "magnetobremsstrahlung radiation" anyways), which still results in a ship that glows in the dark. Is it alright to redo the entry with the information updated for accuracy?
