List of sovereign states
my apologies on that. Krazio (talk) 17:06, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
 * No worries. Astrofreak92 (talk) 17:34, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

You reverted my edit without 1. providing a reference to the 'consensus' you spoke of. 2. engaging me on the talk page. 3. engaging me on my talk page. you are inciting an edit war with your rude behaviour that equates to 'vandalism' see here: [| When to Revert (reversion guidelines)]. undo your reversion of my edit.

I also suggest, and this one is optional, to asway your ego and engage with other editors on their talk pages BEFORE reverting anything that has been signed (done by a registered user). Dava4444 (talk) 03:57, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
 * The fact that this section has remained consistent for a while is inherently evidence of consensus. It's your prerogative to look into the history of a page before editing it for the first time. The exact change you made has already been made before, and it was reverted for exactly the same reasons I provided. Astrofreak92 (talk) 13:55, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Timeline of spaceflight by nationality
Hi, the Czech Republic should be included in that image because both the Czech Republic and Slovakia are considered successor states to Czechoslovakia (and therefore should be both blue-the caption beneath the image even says "and successor states"). For example all of the ex-Soviet states shouldn't be included because only Russian Federation is considered a succesor state (unlike in the Czechoslovakian case). Btw sorry for not asking you before changing the image, my bad. Vojta10 (talk) 22:05, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
 * No worries. I understood it wasn't meant in bad faith. For the purposes of the United Nations, the Czech Republic and Slovakia are both new states formed in 1993, neither retaining the founding Czechoslovak membership (The UN's position on the matter is depicted here: http://www.un.org/en/members/). Russia, on the other hand, retained the USSR's UN membership. That is the definition of "successor state" I intended to reference, I apologize if there was confusion. In legal terms, both the Czech Republic and Slovakia may have retained the obligations of Czechoslovakia, but they were not considered "successor states" in the same way Russia is.

Well, it's true that I really ain't an expert on the matter, but on the UN website it says this "In a letter dated 10 December 1992, its Permanent Representative informed the Secretary-General that the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic would cease to exist on 31 December 1992 and that the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic, as successor States, would apply for membership in the United Nations." So that made me a little bit confused. Vojta10 (talk) 14:39, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I can understand why that may have been confusing. If you would like to contest the definitions used, I would recommend you bring this discussion to the talk page for the Timeline of space travel by nationality article. Astrofreak92 (talk) 15:41, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

2015 in spaceflight, wikilink undo
Hi there, I see you undid my most recent revision to 2015 in spaceflight. You mentioned that wikilinks should only be added for the first instance, but as the manual of style states in WP:OVERLINKING, "Duplicate linking in lists is permissible if it significantly aids the reader. This is most often the case when the list is presenting information that could just as aptly be formatted in a table, and is expected to be parsed for particular bits of data, not read from top to bottom."

It is unreasonable to expect somebody to want to read the entire table for this article from top to bottom, anybody seriously using this table is likely just looking for a few events at most. For example, if I was looking for the most recent rocket launch I'd end up at the Long March 4C launch from November 26th. If I wanted to learn more about Long March 4C, it would be nice to just click a link, but I could always just type it in if there was no link (as there isn't). However, this is even more important for some acronyms. If I wanted to learn more about the type of orbit that the Long March 4C put the Yaogan 29 satellite into, I'd have to enter SSO into the search box, which results in a large-ish disambiguation page that could lead me to SSO or SSO, and many readers won't be able to figure out the difference so easily. This particular article is large, and expecting a user to search through the table to find a wikilink is not very reasonable.

Please let me know your thoughts on this, I do not wish to start an edit war. UnitTwo (talk) 21:59, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
 * You do have a good point, but I based the undo on precedent. Year in Spaceflight articles have historically only had wikilinks for the first appearance of a term in the article, and that started long before I got involved in editing them. If you think that we should change that policy, you'll have to bring it up in the article talk page, and the change will have to be applied retroactively to all previous articles of this type. Additionally, we would have to include links for every repeat instance of a term in the article, not just SSO. It's a discussion worth having, but it's a big change from the existing consensus so it has to be discussed. Astrofreak92 (talk) 03:12, 1 December 2015 (UTC)


 * That's strange, this is a longshot but do you have any idea where that discussion might've been that decided this trend? It goes right against the manual of style's words so I'm interested to see what the arguments for doing this were. And of course all the repeat instances would need it, I was just adding what I could in the amount of time I had.


 * Where would this discussion occur? This change would affect multiple articles, so it's not exactly fit for one's talk page. The Spaceflight and Rocketry projects are inactive, so I'm not sure they present the best mediums.UnitTwo (talk) 04:42, 1 December 2015 (UTC)


 * We've mostly been having discussions like this on the current year's article's talk page. We would need to form a consensus to retroactively edit all prior years' pages at the same time. Having different formats for each year is more confusing than having an inconvenient but consistent system across pages, which is why changing one thing for one year without discussion had to be reverted. Go to Talk:2015 in spaceflight and start a new section. Astrofreak92 (talk) 17:25, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Comment about your Template:Moon spacecraft edit
Hi, I'd like to comment on one of your comment(which I admit sounds strange but is the case here) about your edit to Template:Moon spacecraft. The edit itself has no problem but the comment associated to it caught my notice. There you stated that "Hakuto has said it plans to fly again with Astrobotic in 2019". However, concerning the deal between these two organisations, so far only Astrobotic has confirmed that it still stands, as in this article, or this twitter post by Astrobotic that the article refers to. As of today Hakuto remains silent about the status of their relationship with Astrobotic. I assume Hakuto, or to be more exact ispace,inc, the company running Hakuto does in fact plan to send their second rover on-board Astrobotic's 2019 mission, but just hasn't announced anything as yet. So to sum things up, apparently the Astrobotic-Hakuto partnership is continuing, but Hakuto hasn't confirmed it. Sorry for taking your time on some topic of minor importance. Kind regards,Hms1103 (talk) 13:11, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing this out! Ultimately it doesn't matter, but I appreciate being shown my mistakes.Astrofreak92 (talk) 00:26, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 20
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Puerto Rican status referendum, 2017, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Plurality. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thanks for fixing the mission sequence over multiple pages. I changed #3's infobox to say #4 followed as the page for #5 said #4 was previous and numerical order seemed obvious. Cheers mate~ ₪Rick n Asia₪ 05:33, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Puerto Rico plebiscite
Not really interested on your consent over the history of Puerto Rico as a colony, past and present; if you want a page that cannot be altered go to wordpress. I reference every fact. And fuck off. Thanks!
 * Make a real account and stop hiding behind anonymity to make significant changes. Wikipedia is not your wordpress page to do with as you please either. The wording that is used was decided by consensus, and was based on other articles that were written by dozens of people, including Puerto Ricans. Astrofreak92 (talk) 13:49, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

List of spaceflight records
An anonymous user with a Belgian IP has made an edit to the page by removing the "first to suborbital flight" on the Alan Shepard's pane and cites that "Shephard was not the first to make a suborbital flight - Gagarin made a suborbital flight on the way to a full orbital flight" as his edit reason. I find that this line of reasoning is laughable at best - does you feel the same too? 113.210.98.241 (talk) 08:22, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 13:11, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Draft talk:SpaceX Starship
I saw that a lot of your contributions are from recent spaceflight stuff, so I think you, me, and others would like to collaborate on rewriting the whole article using good sources. The project is also is a part of the Constellation program, where articles can be suggested to improve one by one to GA and FA. What do you think about it?

List of Spaceflight records
I noticed that you added John Young to the list of astronauts who have launched from three locations.

Every successful Apollo Lunar Landing mission had at least one astronaut who had launched from Cape Canaveral (CC) prior to launching in the Apollo program which launched from the Kennedy Space Center (KSP), and the Moon. Would you add these as well?

AmigaClone (talk) 17:03, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Neil A. Armstrong - Gemini 8 (CC), Apollo 11 (KSC and the moon);
 * Edwin E. "Buzz" Aldrin Jr. – Gemini 12 (CC), Apollo 11 (KSC and the moon);
 * Pete Conrad - Gemini 5 and Gemini 11 (CC), Apollo 12 (KSC and the moon), Skylab 2 (KSC);
 * Alan B. Shepard Jr. – Freedom 7 (CC), Apollo 14 (KSC and the moon);
 * David R. Scott - Gemini 8 (CC), Apollo 9 (KSC), Apollo 15 (KSC and the moon);
 * Eugene A. Cernan - Gemini 9A (CC), Apollo 10 (KSC) and Apollo 17

Shoot, I can’t believe I overlooked that. I should have recognized *any* moonwalker with prior flights would have launched from three. Terrible oversight, but given how many people are in the three launch vehicle list it’s worth mentioning. Astrofreak92 (talk) 17:32, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
