I asked about this on the Roscosmos talk page as well as on the space flight portal many months ago but no one replied. I really need a second opinion. Do you think we should have separate articles for the agency and the Russian space program? Currently the Roscosmos article discusses both. But this is misleading, since the agency doesn't have much to do with every aspect of the program, such as military launches and the space industry. My solution would be to move most of the material from Roscosmos to a new article Russian space program (currently a redirect), and either let Roscosmos focus strictly on the agency itself, or make Roscosmos a chapter in of Russian space program. I would really appreciate your opinion on this and any advice you can give. Offliner (talk) 16:16, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
You should probably revisit 2010 in spaceflight, there seems to be something wrong with it. Also, you might want to pre-emptively create 2012 in spaceflight per this since I expect "his" incarnation of 2012 to look nothing like our standards and more like what 2014 in spaceflight currently is. -MBK004 04:56, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi GW, was wondering if you wouldn't mind helping out with the current FAC push for International Space Station by letting us know at Talk:International Space Station#ISS remaining issues what source you used for your edit that added two Luch satellite launches to 2011 in spaceflight?

{{talkback|Talk:Black Brant (rocket)|Just if|ts=05:50, 15 January 2010 (UTC)}} I also had to revert an AGF addition of flags to 1974 in spaceflight since he was mixing the two different styles together.

I've noticed that these are lacking all of the flybys of Phobos that happen apparently every year from the orbiters around Mars (Mars Express, MRO). If we included them we would even have a DSR for 1977 (which currently has none) with the Viking Orbiter 1 flyby of Phobos that was the old world record that was just beaten by Mars Express ([1]). I am interested in your thoughts on this since I'm unsure if we could find the referencing/data for this. I have although added the 67 km Mars Express flyby for this year to 2010, but JSR lists the others. -MBK004 20:43, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Hey GW, I was wondering if it is possible to put the docked time in the info box for space shuttle missions? I know it is done for ISS expeditions and I think it should be done for shuttle missions, as a lot of the missions work is done while docked. Is this feasable? Is it worth it? I am not sure and I would like your opinion on it and if it is, if you could help?--NavyBlue84 17:13, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

I have removed your warning from my talk page. I was annoyed because the information refuting the claim that said satellite being lost has routinely been posted in discussion pages and edit summaries and has been reinstated more than once. In addition, throwing in the threat to have me blocked seems unwarranted and provocative. Vedant (talk) 22:13, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
GW, I know you're probably busy, god knows I am, but I have noticed that recently a few editors have been updating 2010 in spaceflight, but they have been leaving launches as TBD splattered throughout the list when they do not launch as planned. When you get a chance, perhaps a thorough update of 2010, 2011 and 2012 is in order? -MBK004 02:14, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
Y I figured on the POV, but the single level 3 warning I left seemed to do the trick. You might want to be aware of this discussion. Apparently an IP whom I have reverted twice in the removal of {{Launching/SLV}} from the GSLV article is now calling it moronic on the talk page, demands to know why it is being used and is proposing that the whole system be scrapped entirely due to its being moronic. On top of that he is implying that we are being lazy. I'd normally respond, but I'm rather heated at the moment due to real-life and don't want to BITE, perhaps you'd like to respond in my stead? -MBK004 03:42, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
Hey GW, I asked this about a week ago, but was archived before you were able to give a response, so I will ask again. I was wondering if it is possible to put the docked time in the info box for space shuttle missions? I know it is done for ISS expeditions and I think it should be done for shuttle missions, as a lot of the missions work is done while docked. Is this feasible? Is it worth it? Another place I think it could work is in the mission parameters section, where the docking/undocking times and total time docked could be added. I am not sure if it would work or be overloading the articles and I would like your opinion on it and if it is, if you could help?--NavyBlue84 23:39, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

I know it's been a while, and we are behind on these. So much so that someone else just created Progress M-04M, but it needs to be rescued quickly since it will no doubt be tagged for deletion shortly since it is just an infobox and nothing else.

Hey GW, Colds7ream has proposed at Template talk:Infobox space expedition#Start/end points of expeditions., after I asked a question and asked his opinion, that the ISS expedition info box be tweaked so that the launch/landing date options be changed to start/end dates. The theroy behind this is that a whole expedition is not launched at one time, half launched as the second part of the previous expedition, hand over and couple weeks later second part of new expedition launches. Once again I don't know how to change the info box coding. If it is as simple as just typing expedition start and expedition end then I can do that, otherwise an expert such as yourself better do it so it does not get all messed up. Thanks --NavyBlue84 00:06, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your work GPS 2F (and correcting my edit on the launch date). I see there is a red link for 2F series. In nosing around your contributions I see that 2F sort of redirects to GPS satellite. I have a fair amount to add to this series but don't know where to put it. Should I put in the red link article you have on SV-1 or the appropriate section in the GPS Satellite article?

It links to a Talk: reference which doesn't exist (there is no explanation of any such problem on the Talk page) and the problem is absurdly amorphous: it says nothing about which references, in particular, have contradictions and what the nature of the contradiction is. You can't just drop a warning like that in and expect editors to search every square inch of the article looking for 'contradictions'. If you've found something problematic, specify what it is in the Talk page; otherwise nothing will be done and the warning is useless. RandomCritic (talk) 20:25, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

If you haven't done this already please join Wikipedia:SPACEFLIGHT to combine your efforts with like minded editors.--Gniniv (talk) 04:23, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello, you changed redirection from article Common Core BoostertoDelta IV. Please, take a look at first article - it is not about rocket, but about unified rocket module. Therefore, redirection to Common Core Booster looks more properly, to my mind. I returned it back.--Beaber (talk) 14:51, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
Done --GW… 21:22, 10 September 2010 (UTC)Hi, I noticed you seem to be one of the more active members of the space-related WikiProjects so I was just wondering if you could take a look at some thoughts I've put down about improving collaboration on them.

Any comments would be appreciated, thanks. ChiZeroOne (talk) 21:21, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
The Military history WikiProject coordinator election has started. You are cordially invited to help pick fourteen new coordinators from a pool of twenty candidates. This time round, the term has increased from six to twelve months so it is doubly important that you have your say! Please cast your vote here no later than 23:59 (UTC) on Tuesday, 28 September 2010.
With many thanks in advance for your participation from the coordinator team, Roger Davies talk 19:05, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
I noticed you put "[no]bots|deny=dashbot" in a number of templates back in May. I had a quick look for a discussion but couldn't find one. Nobots/bots is intended (in project space) to be a temporary way of keeping content safe and keeping bots running. In this case I can see that there were a number of redirects that were intended to become articles in due course - DashBot should respect these - because they should be labelled {{R with possibilities}} or one of its synonyms - I can't speak for DashBot and say that it does, but it would be a fairly simple fix if not. The redirects are listed here: User:Rich_Farmbrough/temp88 are they all "with possibilities"? Rich Farmbrough, 22:47, 17 September 2010 (UTC).
I see that the Unmanned spaceflight banner has been removed but there has been no reply to the related talk page message, Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spaceflight#WikiProject_Unmanned_spaceflight. Sorry but I think Human Spaceflight and Unmanned spaceflight are crippled by restricting them to the Space template because their direct parent's scope already includes theirs in entirety. What is the point in tagging a project with a Space tag and both USF and SF?. If you tag something as Unmanned spaceflight really you should also check Spaceflight, in every single instance. As I have said elsewhere all the Space projects and their scopes, as they are currently, make no structural sense. If someone wants to develop articles on USF, as the parent project both includes all of it's scope and has more members, people are always going to use SF instead. USF is a poor relation stuck in a granny-annex, it can never recruit or hold on to members the way things are.
And for that matter why have other stand-alone banner templates like WikiProject Solar System's not been removed? Can we not figure out a better way to structure Space-related projects? ChiZeroOne (talk) 23:50, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
The article Advanced Gemini you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold 
. The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Advanced Gemini for things which need to be addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:30, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 23:34, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
I hope you are well. I have reviewed the article and left it on hold, which can be seen on the review page. I'll leave the article on hold for seven days for the issues to be addressed, and more time can be given if needed. If you have any questions or when you finish addressing the issues, please let me know on my talk page. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 03:10, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for reviewing Expedition 1. I think I've addressed your concerns; let me know if there's anything I've missed, or anything further you'd like. Sorry for the delay. :) Mlm42 (talk) 07:56, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi GW. Coming here I looked at your userpage - I really like that list of upcoming launches! Right, SAC missiles - yes, after re-reviewing the criteria it seems I was wrong. I've restored the page, and made it a redirect to the more comprehensive listing of missiles on the main SAC page. Regards from Aotearoa, Buckshot06 (talk) 18:54, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
An article that you have been involved in editing, CryoSat-2 , has been proposed for a merge with another article. If you are interested in the merge discussion, please participate by going here, and adding your comments on the discussion page. Thank you. Per aspera ad Astra (talk) 11:30, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi GW, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind taking a look at the coding for the status template you made for us for Portal:Human spaceflight, please? Mlm42 has been making some major edits there and it doesn't work any more. Thanks, Colds7ream (talk) 15:48, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
Hello, I've suggested names for the Salyut expedition articles here, you may have an opinion? thanks, Mlm42 (talk) 16:54, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
Given recent changes to notability criteria forced through by three members of one WikiProject with minimal discussion and consensus, which have resulted or will result in a large number of articles to which I have contributed being summarily deleted or merged into lists, I have decided that enough is enough. Since my contributions clearly are not appreciated or welcome, I am retiring from editing with immediate effect. It's a pity, as I had many things I wished to contribute, and I am sad to leave such things as WP:TLS incomplete, however I am not willing to waste many hours of my time contributing articles, which will then be removed with little or no regard for process, or for the effort put into them. If this situation changes I may consider returning, however I do not want to see so much effort being flushed away for no reason but to satisfy a handful of users requirements for more content for their longer articles and lists.
If anybody needs to contact me, try the NASASpaceflight.com forum. But if it is requesting a comeback, then unless the current situation changes you can forget it.— Posted by me on 5 November 2010
...the same thing happened to me back in 2005 with the fictional articles I had labored so hard to create and improve, so I can relate the the notability crap your experiencing. Wherever life takes you from here on out, stay safe, and know that there will be a place here for you if and when you decide to return. Sincerely, TomStar81 (Talk) 08:37, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
Hello! As an member editor of one or more of the Spaceflight, Human spaceflight, Unmanned spaceflight, Timeline of spaceflight or Space colonisation WikiProjects, I'd like to draw to your attention a proposal I have made with regards to the future of the spaceflight-related portals, which can be found at Portal talk:Spaceflight#Portal merge. I'd very much appreciate any suggestions or feedback you'd be able to offer! Many thanks,

Hello there! As part of an experiment to determine how many active editors are present in the spaceflight-related WikiProjects, I have made some changes to the list of members of WikiProject Unmanned spaceflight. If you still consider yourself to be an active editor in this project, I would be grateful if you would please edit the list so that your name is not struck out - thus a clearer idea of the critical mass of editors can be determined. Many thanks in advance.

Hello WikiProject Space member! A discussion has been started regarding the future of WikiProject Space here; any comments you might have would be welcome! There are mainly two competing ideas:
If you can think of other options, that's great too. Your contribution to the discussion would be much appreciated. Thanks! :)

Hi, GW. To get more comments, it might be a good idea to use the User:MessageDeliveryBot and message the 98 people on the Space members list; did you want to do that, or shall I? It seemed to work really well when Colds7ream did it regarding the Portal merge. Thanks for starting the RfC. Mlm42 (talk) 22:34, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello there! As part of an effort to determine how many active editors are present in the space-related WikiProjects, some changes have been made to the lists of members of WikiProject Moon (here) and Mars (here). If you still consider yourself to be an active editor either of these projects, it would be appreciated if you would please edit the list so that your name is not struck out - thus a clearer idea of the number of active editors can be determined. Many thanks in advance!

Hey GW, looks like we've got consensus for option 2 - any thoughts as to the best person to close it? I can ask at the Admin Noticeboard? Colds7ream (talk) 13:38, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
Sure Let me know if you need help cleaning up these tags. As I understand it, the project is going to look through them anyway, so it's not a critical that I review my edits, but I could be wrong and I would completely understand it if you wanted my assistance. Just post to my talk. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:38, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
Hello there! As you may or may not be aware, a recent discussion on the future of the Space-related WikiProjects has concluded, leading to the abolition of WP:SPACE and leading to a major reorganisation of WP:SPACEFLIGHT. It would be much appreciated if you would like to participate in the various ongoing discussions at the reorganisation page and the WikiProject Spaceflight talk page. If you are a member of one of WP:SPACEFLIGHT's child projects but not WP:SPACEFLIGHT itself, it would also be very useful if you could please add your name to the member list here. Many thanks!

I just updated a (very) few articles with the new TP template. I would appreciate it if you would look over those few edits (see my Contribs page) and provide me feedback on how I did, and what I need to improve. Then, if you'll point me to a list, I'll be happy to help cleanup the backlog. N2e (talk) 17:47, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi, now that KH-13 is a disambiguation page, we need your help with the cleanup (per WP:FIXDABLINKS). I've looked at the links, and it isn't very easy to guess which KH-13 was intended in a given article. This list helps find and fix dablinks (mostly two templates that need fixing); could you give us a hand? We really need expert help on this one. Thanks, --JaGatalk 17:16, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
