   Format: MarkdownI treid to clean up [[Whitehead tower]] a bit: I rewrote and expanded the Idea/Definition part. Then I _moved_ David Roberts' material that was there to the appropriate section at the new [[Whitehead tower in an (infinity,1)-topos]]. (There I tried to add some introductory remarks to it but will try to further highlight David's results here in a moment). At [[Whitehead tower]] I left just a new section that says that there is a notion of Whitehead towers in more general contexts with a pointer to [[Whitehead tower in an (infinity,1)-topos]]

   Format: MarkdownItexI have added at _[[Whitehead tower]]_ in the Examples-section _[Whitehead tower of the orthogonal group](http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/Whitehead+tower#OfTheOrthogonalGroup)_ a big diagram giving more details on the statement that was indicated there earlier: horizontally running the Postnikov tower, vertically the Whitehead tower, and diagonally the homotopy groups.
