Clean-up

Just saw that someone created this last month: Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Launch Complex 46. It could use some help to be consistent with the others. -MBK₀₀₄ 21:26, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like there's a few new articles. The 43 and 46 ones seem to have some formatting issues (I didn't have time to check the rest), and 46 also seems to contain some inaccurate information. I'll have a look at them tomorrow morning. --G W… 22:39, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done - I've cleaned up the articles on LC-4, LC-6, LC-9, LC-10, LC-11, LC-12, LC-13, LC-43 and LC-46. Hope this helps. --G W… 23:42, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Great work as always. Guess that shows what happens when you don't watchlist redlinks that you know will be filled-in eventually either by you or another editor. (As I go off and watchlist the remaining redlinks for CCAFS, VAFB, Baikonur, and Plesetsk. -MBK₀₀₄ 01:26, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Country of origin

For KSLV would be S. Korea. Dosent matter who produce first stage. Same apply for GSLV. In latter case it would be India(there was plans to get upper stage from abroad- but canceled now). TestPilot^{talk to me!} 01:19, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

With such logic you should start editing country of origin in GSLV article. Third stage for it was actually made in Russia. But that make no sense. Sure, if you would find a way to introduce Russia into country of origin of GSLV(and I will object it), then I guess same edit could be introduced to Zenith article.

And don't forget to add Russia as country of origins for Atlas III and Atlas V. First stage engine is mach more sophisticated and expansive piece then third stage. TestPilot^{talk to me!} 01:43, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am not concerned about first stage engines, however if an entire stage is produced in a country, that country should be listed. There is a variant of the GSLV with an Indian upper stage. By your logic, KSLV should be listed as all-Russian. --G W… 07:54, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

India is in charge of GSLV. So GSLV is an Indian rocket. Korea is in charge of KSLV. So KSLV is a Korean rocket. United States is in charge of Atlases. So Atlas III and V are American rockets. Ukraine is in charge of Zenith 2 and 3SL. So they are Ukrainian rockets. All this rockets use foreign components. And again, if you think that one special component make rocket belong to another country... Then in case of upper stage you should add Russia as a country of origin of GSLV article.

I disagree. I'm going to move this discussion to WT:ROCKETRY to allow a wider discussion on the subject. --G W… 21:02, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For you...

		In recognition of your quality work to not only maintain but also author new content relating to spaceflight and rocketry. Your willingness to help out when others ask is also worth recognition and something that is extremely valued. -MBK₀₀₄ 20:40, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll try to keep doing whatever I'm doing... :) --G W… 20:42, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FYI. KSLV.

Not for main discussion. Two new videos of KSLV (not an actual rocket, just a model). Korean part only small conus on top. But without Korea project would never happened. TestPilot^{talk to me!} 02:05, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
