Mix-up Between Two Different Types of Scorpion Programs

edit

There seems to be a mix-up between this Project Scorpion and the SCORPION (Self CORrecting Projectile for Infantry OperatioN) Program. Under the Origins section, it states that "Project Scorpion was the new name for the former Intelligent Munitions System (IMS)" but it cites a PDF about the SCORPION munition system which is unrelated to the article at hand. Not only that, no other source is referenced to add credibility to the rest of the paragraph about how Project Scorpion "was re-baptized in its new name around 2004 under the Future Combat System (FCS) framework".

A similar mix-up appears under the section labeled Project Scorpion and U.S. Army Acquisitions, Research and Development, where the same irrelevant source is used to claim that Project Scorpion (the modernization program) has undergone live fire testing and achieved "mobility kill", which doesn't make any sense unless you're talking about the SCORPION Program (the ballistic projectile).

I recommend deleting content referring to Project SCORPION or any content that uses this PDF as a reference as it is unrelated to the page topic. A separate page should be created about Project SCORPION to prevent future mix-ups. --Epark251 (talk) 15:08, 24 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Separate Efforts

edit

The US project Scorpion (formerly the Intelligent Munition System) and the French project SCORPION are completely separate efforts.

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.

  Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II NotifyOnline 22:14, 9 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
