Orphaned references in Human mission to Mars

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Human mission to Mars's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Free 2017":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 14:58, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Human mission to MarsCrewed mission to Mars – Previously changed from "manned" to "human" for gender-neutrality, but robotic missions are also human. The word crewed is both gender-neutral and specifies that the spacecraft is piloted. Rowan Forest (talk) 15:11, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia Spaceflight Project remarked this time ago and there was a consensus and decision to use the current term: crewed - the recent RfC on the matter. Regarding the 'History' of the subject, there has been no piloted flights to Mars, and the current plans (NASA, ESA, SpaceX) call them 'crewed'.

I count at least 5 opposes there, many with valid concerns. Why that RfC didn't end in No Consensus is lost on me. "Manned" is still a commonly used term, regardless of what a style manual says on the topic.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 20:29, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, valid concerns on both sides. The historical articles on the early space race have been left untouched, but language has evolved since then, and now NASA, ESA, and SpaceX use 'crewed'. Cheers, Rowan Forest (talk) 21:53, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I think current title is clear, crewed feels a bit more awkward. I'm opposed reverting back to manned. While technically in dictionaries this can also refer to women, this is not the picture people form in their minds when they hear the term and to me doesn't meet the precision and neutrality criteria sufficiently well. NASA shifted its language in 2015, and we should follow suit.[1]
