Wikipedia:WikiProject Space travellers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Space travellers (eg. Astronauts, Cosmonauts, etc). This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

Tasks
Check that all articles have the correct type of space traveller defined. An Astronaut is anybody who has flown on an American spacecraft. A Cosmonaut is anybody who has flown on a Russian/Soviet spacecraft. A Taikonaut is anybody who has flown on a Chinese spacecraft.
This is regardless of their own nationality, so a Russian who has flown on the Shuttle is an Astronaut, not a Cosmonaut, and an American who has flown on Soyuz is a Cosmonaut.
The exceptions are Frenchmen, who are called Spationauts, regardless of what they fly on, South African Afronauts and Malaysian Angkasawan.
