SWEAP
Is the first paragraph in the SWEAP section, necessary? This platform assumes knowledge as a prerequisite all the time - doesn't seem like the background really fits in regular English Wikipedia. 25eanglin (talk) 04:10, 21 February 2024 (UTC)


 * If the SWEAP article explained all that, which it doesn't, I'd agree with you. Daniel Case (talk) 04:16, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * im sure the information is in another linked article, nevertheless: change the SWEAP article, not the one connected with on its history 25eanglin (talk) 04:24, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * If you're as sure as you say you are, post the linked article here. Daniel Case (talk) 06:32, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Well I mean I don't have to - this is pretty basic helioseismology, from what I gather, and Wikipedia is just about an everything encyclopeadia. 25eanglin (talk) 16:01, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Still, though, I am mindful of WP:PCR and WP:OBVIOUS. I mean, "pretty basic helioseismology" is like saying "pretty basic macroeconomics" for most people. As the article now is readers would have no understanding, if they didn't go over to the SWEAP article (and yes, I linked it from the top of the section, but in 18 years or so of editing I have learned what I knew from real life applies to Wikipedia that people have a stunning capacity for missing important information put right where they can see it. (And readers on phones, which whatever we think of them as an interface device, we have more and more of every day, may also miss this or find it inconveniently placed by whatever mobile software they're using)
 * Also, people have clicked the article to get information about a person. They may know nothing about how the sun works that would allow them not to need the coronal heating problem explained and why the PSP (which, without explanatory material on the probe, might lead them to wonder why NASA is using a videogame system to probe the sun) is going so close to the sun to collect particles that required the construction of this cup thing.

 * I have eliminated the first paragraph of that section. Daniel Case (talk) 06:38, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * And the second one too. Both are now at SWEAP instead. Daniel Case (talk) 06:43, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
