Yes, you found a cite that says Geographic, but it is from 2000 and calls NGA NIMA, which is an old name for the agency. I'm all for giving it a second name, saying that it is called geographic in the lead, but seeing as how this is the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, the rest of the article should state Geospatial. Please discuss. Qb | your 2 cents09:06, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
RfC: Geospatial vs. Geographic
Lately, I've been trying to pick up the pieces of User:Neogeography who has been changing the word "geospatial" into "geographic" in many articles. It wouldnt be such a big deal, except that he's started changing the content of articles with "geospatial" in the title. I need some help in a) policy and b) explaining the concept of consensus. I've left a message on his talk page as well as one on the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency talk page. Any insight would be gladly appreciated.

This one is straightforward. If the editor keeps trying to change the word "geospatial" from this article, it is vandalism and you can report him to WP:AIV. Cla68 (talk) 01:01, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Topography, Geology, and Accurate "g": ICBM Guidance in Pre-Satellite Cold War
I am wondering where, or even if, the NGIA came into play with respect to the measurement/collection/compilation of the topographical/geological charts that were ultimately synthesized into highly classified sets of extremely accurate geo-topographical (composition+topography) maps that were used to program very accurate guidance systems in ICBMs before satellite guidance was possible. The most important piece of information produced by these maps and data was extremely accurate values for "g" (not G), the gravitational acceleration due to earth's mass at a test point above the earth's surface. Though we often pretend it is nearly constant and only varies by a miniscule amount, in reality its variance due to the mass below such a test point (say due to a mountain range or a deep ocean) is enough to severely limit how precisely a projectile can follow a predetermined path and how accurately it is when it ultimately explodes. Though the NRO deals with satellites and aerial photography, and though its historical predecessors may have been involved in space-based technology and support, it seems more likely that the NGIA (or predecessor) would be involved in this type of program.184.189.220.114 (talk) 10:22, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
