A new external link?

I would like to add this link to an interview I recorded with Fred Haise when he visited the UK last year. How can I go about this? Gurbir2704 (talk) 23:16, 1 August 2010 (UTC) Gurbir

phrasing for people going to the moon

The Phrase should be first men to go to the moon, the first humans to do so. This was debated and decided on the Stuart Roosa page. This statement shows that when NASA first came to be, Astronauts didn't allow women into the program, and it also shows that they were the first people period. Its a more concise way to say it than the gender neutral statement that it was changed to about a year ago. Please revise this somewhat, there must be a compromise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.18.232.167 (talk) 14:05, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

This is being centrally discussed at WT:SPACE, if you continue to edit war, the only option will be to rangeblock every IP address at Mississippi State University. -MBK₀₀₄ 14:17, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

WT:SPACE is a defunct project. If the discussion is still going on, it is going on somewhere else. Mellie107 (talk) 20:15, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

AFAIK this hasn't been an issue since 2009 when a limited number of IPs began edit-warring over it. The original discussion can still be found here. Doniago (talk) 16:02, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
