Project Emily
[edit]
A PGM-17 Thor IRBM is raised for launch
- ... that British crews launched Thor intermediate-range ballistic missiles (pictured) from Vandenberg Air Force Base as part of Project Emily? Source: Offline, but you can read it here
5x expanded by Hawkeye7 (talk). Self-nominated at 10:03, 21 August 2017 (UTC).
- Going through the criteria:
- A1 - New -
DYK check indicates sufficient recent 5x expansion - A2 - Long enough - DYK Check indicates 20973 chars
- A3 - Within policy - citations a plenty, prose seems encyclopedic, no concerns raised on talk page, assuming no copyvios from offline sources (checked the available ext links with WP:dupdet)
- H1 - Format - 139 chars, within limit
- H2 - Content - interesting bit of military history
- O1 - QPQ - seems to be in order
- O2 - Image -
- looked into File:Thor Raf launch 3aug59.jpg and have disputed the licence; source was astronautix.com, and after finding the proper links could not confirm this was USAF source for public domain status. This could be easily resolved with another available confirmed free image of the Thor missile, though. - Conclusion:
due to the image licence issue. Dl2000 (talk) 00:34, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Should make clear that the nominator was not involved with the image in question; just that there's nothing like a DYK review to uncover lurking free content issues. Dl2000 (talk) 01:11, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
