Mission and Description edit

Very interesting. I was discussing the frequent serious unreliability of Wikipedia in an academic discussion group. Several participants opined that this was largely due to cabals that guarded the falsehoods and single points of view for ideological reasons. The same day I find that the JASSM page is full of serious inaccuracies, giving a highly distorted impression of the program. So I inserted the statement from the Selected Acquisition Report, which certainly was sourced and not original research. And sure enough, practically instantly the page was reverted to preserve its falsehoods and single point of view intact. Will O'Neil (talk) 04:06, 14 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Why would someone with "education in mathematics, engineering, and applied economics" think that merely dumping text into an article on WP would not be instantly reverted? No attempt was made to edit or summarize the information in any way to suit WP's Style Guide (WP:MOS), or to fit into the article's existing structure, such as it is. Any student doing such with a term paper would instantly receive a failing grade for such a stunt, while the response of any professional organization receiving such a submission should be justifiably harsh. Why would you think WP would accept such shoddy content submission? While I doubt such an esteemed scholar as yourself has the time to edit and improve a single article on a missile, surely you can do better than dumping in unedited text! - BilCat (talk) 09:47, 14 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
He could at the very least text dump the Talk section and leave it to others to sift through it and cross reference with the existing WP article. Zhanjack822 (talk) 19:20, 30 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page edit

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

  • http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/agm-158-jassm-standoff-missile/
    Triggered by \bairforce-technology\.com\b on the local blacklist

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

From your friendly hard working bot.—cyberbot II NotifyOnline 13:03, 3 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

External links modified edit

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 3 external links on AGM-158 JASSM. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

 Y An editor has reviewed this edit and fixed any errors that were found.

  • If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.
  • If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with this tool.

Cheers.—cyberbot IITalk to my owner:Online 06:06, 28 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

AGM-158B JASSM-ER Range edit

The current listed source for the 575 mile range of the AGM-158B is a GAO report (https://www.gao.gov/assets/gao-13-294sp.pdf#page=87). However, upon skimming through the section on the report for the JASSM-ER, it only says the range is, "greater than 500 miles." I'm guessing whomever originally wrote the 575 mile figure assumed that the GAO report meant "500 nautical miles," which when converted to the nearest whole number in miles, would be 575. However, the GAO report in other areas wrote "nautical miles" explicitly, so I don't think we can assume the range for the JASSM-ER is also in nautical miles since it wasn't explicit. Perhaps I just misread the section and am missing something. Can someone else double check and confirm? We may need to do a slight edit if this was in fact done erroneously.

I did some search on this, and there are plenty of official documents that explicitly says "500 nautical miles", actually (for example: https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/FOID/Reading%20Room/Selected_Acquisition_Reports/FY_2019_SARS/20-F-0568_DOC_46_JASSM_SAR_Dec_2019_Full.pdf, https://www.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/110659/jassm-er-nears-operational-employment/). We don't know which one was the original wording, i.e. whether it was someone in the government interpreted "miles" as "nautical miles" or vice versa that led to two different specifications to coexist in the documents, but it probably doesn't matter, as the true range would most probably be way longer than 500 whatever that they are comfortable with declassifying as a lower bound.
