Italicisation of Buran
Until 7 August, the Buran spacecraft was italicised but Buran programme wasn't. italicised both on 7 August. I have partially reverted their contribution today to the de facto practice. I also see the italicisation of Buran-class orbiter. I do not know whether the Buran-class orbiter should be italicised or not, since the italicisation of spacecraft class is (mostly) deprecated since the discussion at Talk:SpaceX Starship/Archive 1. --Soumya-8974 talk contribs subpages 11:07, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
 * *shrug* It's whatever to me. Looks bizarre to have some instances italicized and some not, would look even more bizarre to not italicize the class. — Huntster (t @ c) 11:53, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Cancellation details
Under "Projected flights" it is claimed that it was never officially canceled, but the source says it was completely removed from the budget. This is in conflict with later in the article under "Fate and destruction", where "The programme was officially terminated on 30 June 1993, by President Boris Yeltsin." is written. This has its own source although much smaller they both seem to be somewhat low quality. Which of these is correct?

Info about the proprietorship of the Buran replica in Kzahstan
RT reports on 2021-09-11: Businessman offers to swap Buran spaceplane replica for skull of Kazakhstan’s last khan as Russia seeks return of legendary craft

''The original Buran spacecraft was destroyed in 2002 when a hangar roof at the Baikonur spaceport collapsed. The cosmodrome is leased by Russia but located in Kazakhstan, and was the former base of the Soviet space program. The mock-up is also at Baikonur, stored in another hangar. However, unlike other copies, this particular model was actually able to fly. In 2020, the head of the Russian state space agency tried to buy the Buran and bring it to Russia, but discovered that it belonged to an anonymous owner from Kazakhstan who could not be found. Now, he has been identified as Dauren Musa.''

''On Thursday (2021-09-09), Kazakh Minister of Digital Development Bagdat Musin promised to sue Musa, claiming he owns the spacecraft illegally. According to the politician, Musa unlawfully acquired three stakes in Baikonur, two of which have already been ruled illegal by a court.''

List of Vehicles
Since this article is about a specific spacecraft, I moved the "List of Vehicles" section to the more generic Buran programme article. 4throck (talk) 22:39, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
