Notes on the big 9 May 2015 revision

I removed mention of Pakistan purchasing the C-602. The Want China Times article apparently gets it from some publication called "Kanwa Defense Review". From a cursory Google search, all claims of the purchase derive from Kanwa, and there seems to be no independent corroboration for it.

I had to cheat a bit for the CM-602G. Tossing out the bunch of forum posts and blogs that were used before, I managed to find something from a Jane's publication about it, but that's behind a pay wall. On the other hand, the contents of the publication seems to be available through this SlideShare. I'm not sure if it's desirable to make the source formally the SlideShare, so I didn't. - RovingPersonalityConstruct (talk, contribs) 11:12, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Good work on the CM-602G (here's a placard from the Zhuhai Airshow: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gZpKaz0REW4/UKKFBp8YG_I/AAAAAAAAAPc/PXzAR5vbWqo/s1600/CM-602G.jpg). — Preceding unsigned comment added by AChig (talk • contribs) 20:15, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

PopSci

The Popular Science article WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE BLOWN UP BY A CHINESE MISSILE? ASK THIS SHIP by Jeffrey Lin and P.W. Singer (17 October 2014) is a poor source compared to what is available. From what I can find, Lin lacks credentials, Singer is somewhat better but seems to write in general about military technology. One wonders where they are getting their numbers from.

Compare this to both the JFQ (publication of a US military institution) (30 September 2014) and ONI (US military organization) (early 2015) sources, which give a max of 400 km and a min of 280 km respectively. Listing the range in the box as 280km+ seems to cover all of the bases. - RovingPersonalityConstruct (talk, contribs) 11:34, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
