 * I certainly agree, and I think there has been selective application of these guidelines by one or more people, particularly in regards to "gaming the system" and "the purposes of Wikipedia". Unfortunately, this seems to have led to a subpar article that was lacking in basic and up-to-date information, as well as coherent organization. It still needs a lot of work. If you're interested in discussion regarding recent edits, please feel free to refer to the most relevant sections of the talk page. Betaparticle1002 (talk) 05:21, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks
Hey, I wanted to say thanks for all the work you put in finding those resources for the AARO page. I was tidying it up, and writing about the report, and a lot of them came in handy. I did found some of them, but hadn't seen the Smithsonian or the BBC one.Good on yah!

Thanks also for identifiying the page as a bit of a mess, yes I agree, it needs a bit of work - it has evolved from the previous orgs, so its unclear in some cases, which parts of the article are reporting to which body. Anyway its a work in progress! I'm going to try to make it a bit clearer. Deathlibrarian (talk) 22:35, 26 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Yeah of course, and thank you for all your work. The article is much better now. I might still add some things, like the letter that was sent by Congress to the DoD asking that AARO be fully funded, which was reported on by at least the WSJ. We'll see though, since it seems like just about any edit to this article is an uphill battle no matter how well-sourced or reported on something is.

 * Yes, I get yah. These sorts of articles can be hard work at times. Don't worry. If something needs to go on, and its valid, I'm happy to assist. The article is still a bit odd, as its basically a conversion of an article for the different preceding body. I'm going to do more work on it. I was going to add a para about funding, so that letter you mention could go in, as it has RS for it. I think I have seen other references to calls for increased funding, I'll see if I can find them.
