Talk:Commercial Spaceflight Federation

Membership
Since I work for this organization, I wanted to point out that the list of member companies is not up to date. The current list of 20 member companies can be found at our new website at http://www.commercialspaceflight.org. Would it be possible to get the list of member companies up to date? 2009-06-19T14:06:39 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.185.28.3 (talk • contribs)

June 2010 membership list
The membership list, as found in the article on 2010-05-24, is not verifiably sourced. The entire table had been, up until the addition of Robert Bigelow (which was properly sourced), sourced with a single old 2005 press release. I have moved the citations around to make clear which ones are accurately cited by that source, as well as tagged citation needed several names that are unsourced. I've also temp marked several names listed in the 2005 press release that are not in the table at all, possibly correctly if we want current membership, such that this is plainly visible to other editors who may work on this. Clearly, more citation work needs to be done here. N2e (talk) 18:51, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Remove names of individuals?
It looks as if the CSF no longer has individuals as members, but companies instead. Maybe we should remove the column with names of individuals. Martijn Meijering (talk) 17:49, 19 July 2010 (UTC)


 * In my view, we should just remove anything and everything that is not verifiable to a current source. (Unless there is some value in having historical section in the article:  things that used to be verifiably sourced.)  So be BOLD and just do it.  N2e (talk) 19:21, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

 Dear BilCat ,

thank you and I'm sorry for inconvenience. I wanted to edit the 'Chairman' field - Frank DiBello is cited as a chairman, but on September 15, 2016, Dr. Alan Stern was elected as the new Chairman of the CSF Board of Directors (see ). There's an article about Dr. Stern here on Wikipedia, too, so the cross reference would be a really nice thing. So I wanted to edit that field and to add a reference above. Thank you and have an awesome day! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rezvpav (talk • contribs) 11:39, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Possible COPYVIO
I just tagged the article Copypaste in order to get some automated tools working to look at the content of this article. It appears that perhaps some (or a lot of the recent) changes may have been copied into Wikipedia from another website. Based on discussion here, I understand that the investigation of this will take place within about a week. Cheers. N2e (talk) 16:10, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Edit to update COPYVIO
Hey N2e, sorry for the violation from before. This was my first time editing an article on Wikipedia, and being affiliated with the CSF I didn't realize that copying and pasting from our website was a violation of Wikipedia's policies. I've updated some of the sections to try and remove their COPYVIO, but did not remove the copypaste template. If you get the chance, could you take a look at the edits and remove the template if they are up to snuff?

Thanks! Dastler123 (talk) 19:46, 27 January 2011 (UTC)


 * No problem. That's what we are here for.  But it does need to be made encyclopedic, so you are on the right path if you rewrite a lot of it.  The COPYVIO investigation will then turn up nothing, and the tag will get removed in short order.  Cheers.  N2e (talk) 21:24, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I deleted all revisions back to before Dastler123 made his/her edits, because those edits were just pasted from the website (in violation of copyright). You can use other websites as sources of facts, but not as sources of sentences. Please try again to add content in your own words. Calliopejen1 (talk) 21:43, 27 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Dastler123 -- Looks like the amazing Wikipedia cleanup process confirmed the copyvios and has set the article back to where it was before your edits. Don't despair.  You are welcome to make similar edits to improve the article, just be sure to write in your own words, paying attention to WP:NPOV and WP:V using good quality reliable sources with full citations so other editors can verify.  Cheers.  N2e (talk) 16:26, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
