Hello, I'm Uglemat. I noticed that you recently removed content from PGM-17 Thor without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

This wikipedia is completely new to me. I were a "Missile System Analyst" at RAF Hemswell. I knew the Inertial Guidance System vey well. It had no radio link. Suspect this may have been a feature added much later when it became part of the Satellite launch kit. There is also at least one other error that maybe I will be able to correct.

Please don't let the "rejection" stop you, we need more people to edit! The article which you edited had very few citations, and this is generally a bad thing. In this respect, I should point out that you don't actually need a source for the edit you are proposing; if someone disagrees with you and thinks that Bell Labs developed the radio thing or whatever, then the onus is on them to prove it.

To be clear: I know virtually nothing about PGM-17 Thor, and therefore cannot possibly disagree with your change. Uglemat (talk) 21:40, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

The source seems to be the book by John Boyes; perhaps it was added much later as you said. Uglemat (talk) 22:00, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
