False source sited

"A depiction of the "long serpent" rocket launcher from the 11th century book Wujing Zongyao." This drawing absolutely did not come from the original 11th Century version of the book Wujing Zongyao. No such rockets or rocket launchers existed for a couple hundred years after the 11th Century. Needham's book, Volume 4, p. 496 does not even treat subjects of the 11th Century time period. This drawing and the associated sighting are nonsense. This needs to be deleted until an appropriated siting and explanation of the drawing are given. Otherwise the drawing should be left out.Magneticlifeform (talk) 04:40, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bit of a glaring omission

Strange that the major person responsible for further development of rocketry in Europe doesn't seem to have a mention on the page whatsoever:
