Hi Jeremy!
Just wanted you to know I got your note, and I really appreciate your email letting me know what was going on, and great to see you created a username! Here is the info about images: Help:Images That should explain the policies, guidelines, and other information you'll need to know. I'd encourage uploading any images to Commons:Special:Upload though, to help the Commons community. Don't forget that all images need to have a source URL provided, preferably one to an HTML page the image appears on, and not to the image file itself. With NASA this is never a big issue, thankfully! Let me know if you have any other questions, Ariel ♥ Gold 03:52, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * P.S. If you'd like a table of helpful links for policies and guidelines, just drop me a note on my talk page and I'll put one up here for your reference. Ariel ♥ Gold 03:53, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi again Jeremy! In response to your question, first you find the page it is on, so you can source it when you upload, the URL should be to a page with the image, not to the image itself. Then, properly sizing it (as some of the high res images are well over 1mb in size, better if they're half that or less, to have consideration for those who are on dial up), upload it via Commons (preferred over WP for images like this), and add it to the Commons gallery for the mission, and categorize it. Then you can go add it to the actual article, but don't go overboard with images. Also, if you'd like to join, there is WikiProject Human Spaceflight, and those of us who are members keep the mission pages up to date pretty well, within guidelines of Wikipedia, of course. Images just because they are "cool" aren't really appropriate, one must remember the context of the article, and the historical goal, and images should only be used to illustrate a specific fact or section, such as the illustration of the perforation in the glove last mission, the tile damage, one payload picture, and one landing/launch image. Trust me, I know how hard it is to refrain from adding all the awesome images, but they would really detract, not add, if overdone. If you point me to the image you want on NASA's site, I can upload and add it to the article, if you're not comfortable with the uploading/permission tag process. Just let me know, and I'd be happy to do that for you for the first couple, showing you how I do it as I go along. Cheers, Ariel ♥ Gold 02:35, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * P.S. Please remember to sign your posts using four tildes after your post, ( ~ ) so people know who is talking to them. [[Image:Face-wink.svg|20px]] Ariel ♥ Gold 02:37, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

EVA table
Jeremy, I reverted your changes, because your table was not the same format as all the others for Space Missions, and really um... well, had problems with the formatting, lol. I had already placed the EVA table into the STS-120 page, it was just hidden by the "hide comment" parameter. Sorry dear, I know your intentions are great, but the info was already properly formatted and all fields filled in, so we can simply "unhide" it once the mission begins. It should not be visible before that, hope you understand! Ariel ♥ Gold 03:08, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay I went in and corrected all the spelling of the Astronaut names, and the proper wiki links, so they're fixed now, (but invisible). While I know this info has been reported by CBS, we'll need to wait for the Press Kit to come out to be sure, which shouldn't be a problem since the table will remain hidden until the mission starts. Cheers! Ariel ♥ Gold 03:23, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Sts-120 external tank mated to solid rocket boosters.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Sts-120 external tank mated to solid rocket boosters.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:10, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

STS-123 photo
Jeremy, can you give me the direct link to the photo you're wanting added? I can't figure out where you found it on NASASpaceflight.com. Also, only photos that are from NASA can be added, if the one on NSF is not from NASA, it would be copyrighted and not allowed. I found this one, is that the one you were thinking of? I'll upload that for now, even if it isn't the one you saw. Ariel ♥  Gold  01:53, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay that's the one I uploaded and added to the page, and no confusion, no problems! Thanks! Ariel  ♥  Gold  15:31, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey Jeremy!
Quick question, I saw the addition of launch dates to some of the mission articles, (i.e. ), and I'm wondering where you got the dates from. They aren't listed at all in the schedule, and are listed as "under review" on the manifest, for STS-119, the last NASA official update was October 19th, which says "fall of 2008" so can you let me know what page NASA put the info out on, so I can reference it in the articles? Thanks dear! Ariel ♥  Gold  07:49, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I did notice some of them were added/updated, but STS-119 and all flights after that are still not. They are not even listed on the Schedule, and are listed as "under review" on the manifest, so that's what I'm wondering, where you got the times and dates for launch for 119 and 127, as I couldn't find even an approximate date. NASA only updated the dates/times for 122-126. Anyway if you remember where you got the info for 119 and 127, feel free to let me know :) And as always, glad to hear from you! Ariel  ♥  Gold  15:15, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, was it a thread on the L2 (subscription) forum? Also, yeah, forums aren't reliable sources, so until it is official, it can just be put in the talk page as speculation. But if it is posted on the L2 forum, it cannot even be put into the talk page, as per Chris Bergin, none of that information is to be released at any time, until it becomes public. If you have the link to the thread, shoot it to me, I'm a member of L2 so I can see which forum it came from with the link. Thanks for the reply! Ariel  ♥  Gold  15:48, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Email
Hey Jeremy, thanks for the email. I don't think Mike left NASA, unless you can point me to somewhere that verifies it, but I looked and couldn't find a thing saying that, and he's the launch director according to the most reliable source out there, CBS I think that NASA's announcement just made a typo, and it says Launch Director when it should say Assistant Launch Director, because Doug Lyons is the Assistant Launch Director, and a Test Director, according to NASA:   It is very likely that Mike isn't needed at the first briefing, and Doug is taking his place, or that Mike has other obligations, or what have you, but I can't find any news reports at all saying he's left NASA. In fact, L2 has verified he's the LD, and that NASA simply omitted "Assistant" from Doug's title. Hope that helps! Ariel ♥  Gold  05:18, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Shuttle Processing
Jeremy, although the information about shuttle processing for the various missions can be helpful, simply copying and pasting it from NASA's website onto the talk pages for missions, I don't think is really necessary. I think talk pages are a great place to keep up conversation about the article itself, or discussing if certain information is relavent, but overall, I think pasting this information isn't really what the talk page was designed for. Thanks for your effort in keeping these pages up to date though! —Fumo7887 (talk • contribs) 07:25, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Space missions WikiProject
Hi, I noticed that you are a member of the Space missions WikiProject. A couple of weeks ago, I proposed that the Space missions and Space travellers projects, which both appear to be inactive be merged into the Human Spaceflight project. Whilst this is being done, the capitalisation of the Human spaceflight project's title would also be corrected (ie. Human Spaceflight → Human spaceflight). The projects are all doing the same/very similar things, and in my opinion, a single, larger, project would be more effective than three smaller, and somewhat inactive projects.. In light of very little response to messages on the project talk pages, I am now sending this message to all members of all three projects, inviting them to discuss the proposal on the Human Spaceflight project's talk page. I would appreciate your opinion on this. Thanks. -- GW_SimulationsUser Page 22:40, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:170421main_mate.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:170421main_mate.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 13:59, 28 March 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU ≈ talk 13:59, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Spaceflight portals
Hello! As an member editor of one or more of the Spaceflight, Human spaceflight, Unmanned spaceflight, Timeline of spaceflight or Space colonisation WikiProjects, I'd like to draw to your attention a proposal I have made with regards to the future of the spaceflight-related portals, which can be found at Portal talk:Spaceflight. I'd very much appreciate any suggestions or feedback you'd be able to offer! Many thanks,

WikiProject Human spaceflight activity
Hello there! As part of an effort to determine how many active editors are present in the spaceflight-related WikiProjects, I have made some changes to the list of members of WikiProject Human spaceflight. If you still consider yourself to be an active editor in this project, I would be grateful if you would please edit the list so that your name is not struck out - thus a clearer idea of the critical mass of editors can be determined. Many thanks in advance!

WikiProject Spaceflight reboot
Hello there! As you may or may not be aware, a recent discussion on the future of the Space-related WikiProjects has concluded, leading to the abolition of WP:SPACE and leading to a major reorganisation of WP:SPACEFLIGHT. It would be much appreciated if you would like to participate in the various ongoing discussions at the reorganisation page and the WikiProject Spaceflight talk page. If you are a member of one of WP:SPACEFLIGHT's child projects but not WP:SPACEFLIGHT itself, it would also be very useful if you could please add your name to the member list here. Many thanks!
