Merge to R-7 Semyorka?

Is there enough information for a separate article, or should we just merge it to the R-7 article that already discusses the Sputnik variants? I'd prefer a merge (and turning this page into a redirect), at least for now. Huon (talk) 09:53, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - I've only just started this one. I'm trying to provide broader coverage of Eastern space programmes to counter systematic bias towards the USA. There will be more content in time. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 13:03, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, given the precedent at Saturn INT-21, little-used variants may have their own article. I've added a link from the R-7 article to this one. Huon (talk) 13:18, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified (January 2018)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Sputnik (rocket). Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20132201143200/http://www.astronautix.com/craft/sputnik3.htm to http://www.astronautix.com/craft/sputnik3.htm

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

SATCAT

The Sputnik rocket is SATCAT No. 1 and it seems like this page should mention that, just like Sputnik 1 says that satellite was SATCAT No. 2, but I couldn't figure out how to put it in the infobox and didn't know where else to put it. If can fix it, go for it.

Thx. Seananony (talk) 22:20, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
