Dubious[edit]

The claim of 40 missiles produced cannot be verified and utterly fails common sense. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 15:24, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In La Spezia arsenal hangars you'll find the answer.The missiles can be carried on blocks fit for by destroyers or frigates. There are stored missiles and not only.In 1968 the Minister of Defence Luigi Gui declared that CAMEN was developed the italian nuke officially in the Italian Parliament.In CAMEN worked the famous nuclear scientist Edoardo Amaldi .In Italy all people of high ranks in military know that the country is a nuclear power.Would have had sense to develope an IRBM fit for ships in 1971 like Alfa without having nukes? These are still state secrets in Italy and this position makes happy anti nuclear opinion inside the country and other nationalist people outside the country that like to trust Italy only in NATO sharing.Really easy to realize.151.40.48.15 (talk) 22:45, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Wikipedia's editing policies require that all information added can be verified through reliable sources such as books, journals, reputable websites, magazines and newspapers. If this information cannot be supported with a reference to these sorts of sources, then in my opinion it should be removed. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 12:39, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi![edit]

Well, I wanted to collaborate here in the " Alfa Rocket" Page, but It seems that nobody likes here the image that shows the Alfa Rocket in Salto di Quirra, usually Users need to reach an agreement , but when there destruptive edits as in these case for part of an unknow, like this ([1]) then it is better that things remains like this.Ivankazz (talk) 19:01, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ivankazz The image is great but I am bit confused as to why is it being used a reference? You can definitely add the image to the external links. The reason I state this is there is nothing on the image which supports the text is being used to cite. Maybe I am missing something here and you can explain. Thanks. Adamgerber80 (talk) 19:07, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you think the image belongs, but elsewhere, then why don't you edit to fix that? As it is, you're editing to simply remove it, as if you're against any inclusion, anywhere. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:05, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Andy Dingley the image has no mention that this indeed is the rocket nor is it hosted on a reliable site nor is there a license attached with it which allows us to add this to the page. How can this image be used anywhere on Wikipedia? I would like to understand how this should be "fixed"? Thanks Adamgerber80 (talk) 15:24, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe User Adamgerber80} have noted that the image added bye me hasn't name, and he have right. instead to add the image I can add the source ? in the source appear the name "Alfa" and maybe I can help to make more information about the missile.Ivankazz (talk) 15:52, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ivankazz Feel free to expand the article. But do remember that the content you add is based on Reliable sources. Lastly, Wikipedia is pretty restrictive about what media can be added to an article and the license attached to it. Non-free images can be added but enough proof/cause needs to be shown that there are no free alternatives available (which might not be the case here). Happy editing!

Adamgerber80 OK, I'm searching additional information about Alfa history, thanks for your answer! Ivankazz (talk) 19:49, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nuclear program[edit]

The Alfa missile is cited in the article Italian nuclear weapons program article ,in fact this rocket was produced for this.As reported in the article it was produced to carry 1Mt nuclear warhed.This article is related to the other one in strong way.There isn't an official number of produced missiles released by italian authorities.As reported at the beginning of the talk of the article all numbers about produced rockets are dubious.89.97.225.68 (talk) 08:28, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

the number in fact is unknown. Thanks for your comment!.Ivankazz (talk) 14:50, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ranging Moscow from Adriatic?[edit]

Source cited for this claim is plainly wrong. With 1600 km range you cannot touch Moscow from Lake Balaton (still 55 km short), much less from Adriatic. You need to enter either Black, Baltic or White sea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.139.12.162 (talk) 21:06, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
