Speedy deletion nomination of File:NASA Shuttle Patch Descriptions.pdf


A tag has been placed on File:NASA Shuttle Patch Descriptions.pdf requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F10 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file that is not an image, sound file or video clip (e.g. a Word document or PDF file) that has no encyclopedic use.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Stefan2 (talk) 16:51, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Edits from space
Hi! I noticed your edit about the first space edit of Wikipedia, and while I don't doubt the statement (and I'm very excited that people from the ISS edit Wikipedia!), I'm trying to find additional sources (besides the edit comment) that would confirm that the edit was indeed by Christina Koch, to eliminate any potential doubts that someone else might have (especially when the article says "confirmed"). The best I could find is the user creation log, but unfortunately it doesn't unambiguously say that the account belongs to someone on the ISS itself. I'm curious if it is possible to have better additional sources? Best, Yury Bulka (talk) 15:41, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

I think I answered this somewhere else but I'll say again here. Since I have access to email Christina directly through work, I helped her set up this new account. So I can confirm the account is hers. I know that doesn't give you a full documentation but it's the best I can give you.

 * Thanks for following up! As I said, I have no doubts, just trying to add more sources for random readers who have no context and don't know what a diff is. It'd be best to add some links that are external to Wikipedia. Would you mind if I link to this tweet as an additional source? As a side note, it would be very interesting to know if there were other edits by ISS astronauts:) P.S. I should have said this in the very beginning, but thank you for promoting Wikipedia editing within NASA! --Yury Bulka (talk) 14:59, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

I'm fine with you referencing that tweet, but this one is when I originally tweeted about the edit from space.
