User talk:Gaslname

Welcome
You really should have waited for feedback before moving your article. For example, we do not prepend acronyms with dashes on titles. I moved it to General Applied Science Laboratory. I was tempted to just propose its deletion until it complied more with guidelines, but starting to do some work on it instead. Someone else might still propose its deletion. For example, it claimed to use wikipedia as a source, which is of course circular and not allowed. Wikilinks use square brackets and refer to other related articles. Some obvious ones were missing. But citing sources is done by giving reliable independent sources which another editor (such as I) can use to verify the information. Sadly many of the science and technology articles do not use them, but we are trying to improve their scholarship. We are all volunteers with little "free time" so you need to be patient. Working on other related articles might help. Also relevant guidelines: Single-purpose accounts are discouraged. The username policy states that users should apply to individuals, not representing an organization. In particular, if a user name closely resembles an article name the user edits, this can lead to blocking. It tends to raise the question of conflict of interest. If you edit an article with which you have any association, then you need to be extra careful to have edits reviewed and comply with guidelines. I removed some of the promotional language and added tags where verifiable sources need to be cited. With these fixes, the article has a better chance of staying around.

Thanks for adding some more sources. One thing missing is an image. A logo of the pre-merger company might be usable under fair-use rationale, but I could not find one. NASA images done by US government employees are public domain, but contractors like ATK alas are usually copyrighted. Its ironic that something as exciting as hypersonic propulsion would have no pictures.

That is getting close to the kind of promotional marketing language that could get the article deleted. I will try again on the encyclopedic wording. There seems to be enough published we should talk about what has actually been done, and link to associated articles, etc. W Nowicki (talk) 17:40, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
