Empire Test Pilots' School
WRP is not pictured in the ETPS course photos around the year 1963. Is there other documentary evidence for his attendance there? Thanks. --TraceyR (talk) 22:27, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Death?
The article says he died yesterday, but I don't see that information anywhere else. Originalname37  (Talk?)  19:58, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok, now there's an obituary: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/11/science/space/william-r-pogue-astronaut-who-flew-longest-skylab-mission-is-dead-at-84.html Originalname37   (Talk?)  16:25, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

"Strike"?
Is there a reason for avoiding even a mention of the strike to get a day off while on Skylab? It is described in detail in his obituary in NY times. 193.205.210.74 (talk) 08:53, 21 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Probably because of our policies of WP:UNDUE, Neutral Point Of View, and reliable sources. Please see the discussion threads on Talk:Skylab 4, "Career-killing act?", "Plagiarized", and "Mutiny". This issue apparently first surfaced on Wikipedia in 2005, and it looks like there are various views on the astronauts responding to a heavy work load. Pogue's description as "a strike" is by no means objective or universally accepted. If we raise the issue at all, it has to be presented neutrally, noting that this was Pogue's opinion.

Clarence E. Page Memorial Trophy
Looks like Pogue won it in February 1989 and someone else won it in December 1989. It makes me think Pogue might have gotten the 1988 award a couple of months after...I think I will say that he was presented the award in February 1989 since that is all we know for sure. I cannot find a list of all recipients.  Kees08  (Talk)   03:43, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

Post-NASA Activities
For completeness, there should probably be a mention of the fact that his post-astronaut activities included preaching/missionary work (in which capacity he visited my school in Scotland sometime around 1980-81). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.57.141.83 (talk) 11:52, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
