 * I think you may be getting your terminology confused. Those elsets show satellites which have clearly not been deorbited - once a satellite is deorbited you won't get any more elsets as, by definition, it is no longer in orbit. Instead I would suggest that these satellites have simply been decommissioned and moved away from their operational orbit. This is not the same as deorbiting a satellite, which is the act of removing it from orbit altogether (not just from its operational orbit) - usually by causing it to reenter the Earth's atmosphere, which is not practical with geosynchronous satellites. -- W.

 * By "deorbited" I meant "sent to the graveyard orbit" (altitude > 36100 km)
 * "Deorbited" is not the correct word to describe that. -- W.  D.   Graham  18:00, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

SpaceX rocket engine family
There is an article MOVE proposal over on Talk:SpaceX rocket engine family. You've had good input on article naming consistency etc. in the past; thought you might want to take a look. (I haven't decided yet, and actually want to hear more views on it.) N2e (talk) 19:24, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
