NASA and the Quest for the Lost Tapes
Seen on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reports_of_Streptococcus_mitis_on_the_moon :

"NASA is funding an archival study in 2007 that will try to locate the film of the camera-body microbial sampling to confirm the report of a breach in sterile technique." This is bad. The National Aeronautics and Space Agency, ya'know, the guys who put man on the Moon, has to put an entry on their budget for a mission into their archives in order to recover scientific material from it. Wonder if they are going for a robotic rover or a manned mission... Oh, the bureaucracy! Learn how to index people! --AndersFeder (talk) 18:03, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

LHC
Hey, just so you know I partially reverted your LHC edit, you got it right the first time it was plural beams ;) as they went clockwise and anti-clockwise. cheers Khu  kri  12:35, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Beam 1 came online first. Only a day or so later did Beam 2 come online. --AndersFeder (talk) 13:07, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Nope, clockwise beam started just before 7pm and established with full capture and turns by about 8:40pm, then there was a short pause and the anti-clockwise beam injection started and was captured by just before midnight. Khu  kri  13:47, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh. Swell :) --AndersFeder (talk) 14:02, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
 * s'what I thought ;) You can follow the progress here. Regards Khu  kri  14:06, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Red Panda Firefox
You just added a citation request to the Red Panda article. I am assuming that since I reference a pile of dictionaries after the sentence you added the tag to, that you are asking for a citation of "One often repeated "fact" on the Web," and not the translation itself. I'm not quite sure how to approach this. I found about 10 references in the first two pages when I googled "firefox chinese red panda", and most of these are zoos and other sites that purport to be experts on the subject. I can of course just put a string of references, but that's kind of clumsy and it begs the question of "how many makes "often". I'm relatively new to Wikipedia, so any suggestions on how to handle this wouild be appreciated. the point I am trying to make is that it is a relatively widespread misconception, at least among Red Panda groups and fans, and wherever the name comes from it does not seem to be from Chinese.Donlammers (talk) 23:55, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi. First off, don't worry too much about it - what you did is a very common transgression. I merely tagged it to let other editors know that they might want to reformulate the sentence if they can. The problem with the sentence is that it constitutes original research, which generally doesn't have a place on Wikipedia. Instead, the proper procedure is to find a reputable source (a newspaper, an academic paper etc.) that can back up your specific claim and then attribute the claim to that source when writing the article. This can seem pedantic when a simple Google search reveals that your claim is true, but nonetheless, this is what is required per the WP:V policy.--AndersFeder (talk) 16:03, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

WikiProjects Moon and Mars activity
Hello there! As part of an effort to determine how many active editors are present in the space-related WikiProjects, some changes have been made to the lists of members of WikiProject Moon (here) and Mars (here). If you still consider yourself to be an active editor either of these projects, it would be appreciated if you would please edit the list so that your name is not struck out - thus a clearer idea of the number of active editors can be determined. Many thanks in advance!
