User talk:A.T.S. in Texas

Really belated welcome
Well, I saw your excellent recent additions, and came here to leave you a welcome message since your talk page was a red link. Alas, you've been here for years, so a welcome would be odd. You noted you like brickbats, so here's the best I can do:

Rudolf Abel
Could you explain your edit on the talkpage of Rudolf Abel. In future could you explain any edits prior to editing the article on the talkpage. Adamdaley (talk) 23:50, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

Yes, and I'll put this on the talk page. Prior to my edit, the article said that by using "his real name," Rudolf Abel was attempting to signal the KGB that he had been captured. This is inaccurate in that "Rudolf Abel" was not the name of the spy captured in Brooklyn in 1957, but the name of a KGB colonel who had previously died. I did not realize that edits needed to be discussed on the talk page if they were well referenced. Can you provide me with a link to that point, please? A.T.S. in Texas (talk) 00:25, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * The reason why I asked to be discussed is there has been numerous edits over the last few weeks due to the recently released movie "Bridge of Spies". As you can see there has been a lot of small unnecessary changes. I do however agree with your change. However, I'll try and tweak it later today. Also you have forgotten to sign your post on the Rudolf Abel talkpage. Please sign it so it can be archived. Adamdaley (talk) 02:22, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Your edit on "Nuclear winter"
I Undid User:A.T.S. in Texas' edit. As Carl Sagan's Cosmos series did not air until the 1980s. Golitsyn is discussing the dust storms observed by Mars 3 here, in 1971-2. Years before Sagan became all that famous. Next time, Fact-check before making your edits.
