[edit] Independent evidence for Apollo Moon landings
I noticed that you voted early on this, and wanted to let you know that the article has substantially grown (and will likely grow further) into a useful list of evidence for the Moon landings that has nothing to do with hoax sites. I'd like to invite you to take another look, and to consider changing your vote. Gravitor 19:56, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Summaries
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers.

[edit] CSTS
Hello, Hektor. It appears that you copied and pasted ACTS to CSTS. Please do not move articles by copying and pasting them because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself using the move link at the top of the page, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen.

[edit] Olympic stadium Grenoble
Hi Hektor
I would like to know why you reverted my edit. There are good reasons to assume that my edit was correct. I am currently expanding the German article on the 1968 winter olympics to FA status. In all my sources - including the official report - it says that the opening ceremony took place in a temporary structure that was dismantled after the end of the games. It was certainly not the Stade Lesdiguières. --Voyager 20:51, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Daniel Elena
Hi, thanks for sorting that out. As you can see, I did some editing to that page and forgot to put that sentence back in. Apologies.
- Thanks. I was suspecting that was the explanation. Hektor 21:11, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Bikini Carwash Company

- There is a vote for deletion under way. I think you might be interested. Hektor 14:17, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

- Thanks but, per the prohibition on votestacking, I should not have been contacted, because since I am the prodder, I must be expected to favour deletion. For that reason, I decline to participate. Sandstein 14:24, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- Given the fact that I am in favor of keep, and have written so in the vote, I don't see where is the problem ? why are people always assuming bad faith. I just wrote to you because your archive was linked to this page. Hektor 14:27, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of Olympic medalists in disabled skiing
Please consider merging List of Olympic medalists in disabled skiing into Disabled skiing at the Winter Olympics. These were demonstration events only, so it is extremely misleading to have a "list of medalists" article as per all full-medal sports. We do not include any other demonstration "medalists" in that series of lists. Thanks, Andrwsc 21:09, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Indian human spaceflight program article - why it had been moved.
An entire article based on pure speculation is a rare example. It would better served as a sub-section ISRO main article.
- NASA and Roscosmos, despite their unprecedented success, have human spaceflight summary within the main article section
- Indian manned space programme (as of 12.02.07) is purely based on speculation
- A manned spacecraft design programme is yet to announed
- The article "Indian human spaceflight program" appears more as a hopeful idea, rather than factual page
- The SCRE is a broadly general spacecraft recovery programme and is no concrete indication of a future spacecraft (i.e. - it could very well be incorporated into an unmanned recoverable sapcecraft, such as the Russian Parom.
- Thus, the Indian human spaceflight programme piece will be best served under the ISRO relevant sub-section
So far the general feedback has been to merge the piece into ISRO (see Question of crewed missions) until a concreate manned space programme announcement is made by the Indian govt. Its not very good practice for an encyclopedic editor to force his/her personal opinion upon broader agreement which has already been made (see Talk:Indian Space Research Organisation).
Thus, the previous agreement should stand. Please open a new discussion to discuss restoration of the previous article if you still feel strongly about this. But please do not force your own decision on this issue.
Many thanks -- Ash sul 22:34, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- Quote from one of the sources : "The Centre approval to India's manned mission to space finds expression in the Union Budget.
The Indian Space Research Organisation's "pre-project initiatives" to propel an Indian into space have been sanctioned Rs 50 crore for 2007-08.
Top ISRO sources said the flight is likely to be in 2015, followed by an Indian stepping on the Moon in 2020. An orbiter to Mars in 2014 is also among the ISRO's initiatives during the 11th five-year plan."
Rs 50 crore is more than the budget currently dedicated by ESA to Crew Space Transportation System and however this one has his own article. Hektor 05:39, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
