DIRECT article size

Fotoguzzi, on the NASASpaceFlight thread you made mention of the DIRECT article being too long. One possible fix to this is to split the article. Consider moving the Jupiter technical specs into "Jupiter (rocket)" and keep the overall history and policy discussion in the DIRECT article. I see that this already exists as a redirect, but it wouldn't difficult to replace the redirect with an article and place a hat note in regarding the other Jupiter out there. Going forward, it may be possible to split this history out into "History of DIRECT if the main DIRECT article is still too long. --StuffOfInterest (talk) 14:49, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. By too long, I mean mostly that it is repetitious. Your idea is good, though. I was trying to make it look a little more approachable because with the PBS interview and the Committee, a lot of eyes might see the page. I will try to make a Jupiter_Upper_Stage stub, so that people don't try to bolt an Ares V EDS to a Jupiter.

Thanks for your suggestion today and yesterday! Fotoguzzi (talk) 14:56, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I would recommend going with a Jupiter Upper Stage article for now. Start with the Jupiter (rocket) article that has a section on the Jupiter Upper Stage. Possiblly even create a redirect from Jupiter Upper Stage to the section of the rocket article discussing the upper stage. Once the amount of content specific to the upper stage reaches a couple of screen fulls, then split it out into a separate article. Stubs should really only be used when the entity is unique enough that it doesn't fit neatly into an existing article. --StuffOfInterest (talk) 15:03, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking the stub would lead people to DIRECT. I'm not so sure I want to make the split at this time. I'm not the most organized, and I don't want to end up with two bad articles instead of one. I agree that the JUS article should die as soon as possible. There is nothing on WBC and Aces, so, it's a bit of an orphan wherever it goes. If you really think it horrible, I will pull the article. I, personally, don't mind stubs as long as they have a lot of links. -- Thx! Fotoguzzi (talk) 15:26, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One more option would be to make Jupiter Upper Stage a redirect to a section of the main article. You can have a redirect point sraight into a section using "#REDIRECT ARTICLE NAME#SECTION NAME" syntax. My concern with creating a separate article for JUS is that someone else will come along and either propose a merge or deletion as it is such a specialized child subject. If you start with it in the main article, then it can be easily separated out later when the content reaches a large enough quantity and quality. --StuffOfInterest (talk) 16:23, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. If I can summarize it briefly, I will insert it into the DIRECT article. For now, I really don't know enough about it to say much. I wonder if the EDS could work as-is on DIRECT v3.0. 131.252.209.89 (talk) 17:33, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Shakespeare authorship question FAC

I noticed your question at WP:Featured article candidates/Shakespeare authorship question/archive1 ("22:18, 27 March 2011 (UTC)") which you have rephrased at the article talk. I hope you don't mind but I wanted to ask about this here because there is already too much material on those pages. I don't know enough to be able to answer the question, but it looks like you acknowledge that it is not specific to the FAC? In other words, whatever the answer, no action is required in the article? My feeling is that details about whether some Oxfordians reject some works belongs at Oxfordian theory of Shakespeare authorship. If you agree, perhaps you would consider undoing your edit at the FAC (diff) using some edit summary to indicate you don't think the comment is needed for the FAC. If I have missed something, perhaps you might explain further at the article talk. Thanks (btw, there is no need to reply but if you do, I won't need talkback).

Proposed deletion of Gregor Grant

The article Gregor Grant has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Completely unsourced bio of living person(BLP)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Fotoguzzi,

Sorry about the mix up on my talk page. I meant to say I'm not on IRC for now. Talk page is still the preferred contact method. I have removed my little note.

As to your article, an article should never be rejected because it is a stub. I have approved some articles with only 2 sentences. The problem is WP:MILNG. If you can find an exception or some other rational for acceptance, I will have no problem approving your article.

ANSWERed question posed 8July2012IGhhGI (talk) 21:58, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Re' the pre-existing damage and misalignment of #7 Slat -- that was NOT in the Logbook, nor in the prior "C" Check. That pre-existing damage was determined AFTER the mishap, by various (NTSB & TBC) metallurgists.

Hope the TALK page shows the sources (several), who presented the evidence of pre-existing damage.

Grammatical Question

Hi Fotoguzzi

I hope you are in highest degree of healthiness. I have been looking for an answer for old Grammatical Question! That could be your kind if you reply it.

we say: Abraham Lincoln was 16th President of the United States. now wecan ask: who was 16th President of the United States? the answer is Abraham Lincoln. I have been searching for the question that answer is <<16th>>. Alborzagros (talk) 09:11, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is there really a question here? Fotoguzzi (talk) 09:21, 13 January 2013 (UTC) Okay, I think I understand your question. Q: "Of what rank was President Lincoln in the order of Presidents?" A: Sixteenth. <- That's the best I can do. Not sure if there is an elegant way to ask that question in English. Where did Lincoln rank numerically among the Presidents? Sixteenth. <- Better, perhaps? Fotoguzzi (talk) 09:24, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

maybe I am ill-requesting you. could you plz fill the gap?

.......................................? 16th President of the United States.
