As mentioned here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spaceflight&diff=1046937877&oldid=1046937739, created this page for OSM data resources (and others) : Resources_for_editors --> where to link to it on the overview page ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dulliman (talk • contribs) 11:21, 31 October 2021 (UTC)  Done. Added to project page. TJRC (talk) 22:42, 18 February 2023 (UTC) Problems with robotic spacecraft articles There was a long-lasting problem that several overlapping articles existed simultaneously, all mostly unsourced and about the same stuff. Now, space probe, robotic spacecraft, etc are merged into one (still bad) article Uncrewed spacecraft. But there are still several articles that are problematic, and should probably be redirected to the main one. First one is List of uncrewed spacecraft by program. It's completely unsourced, miss many spacecraft, and is just wrong in many aspects. For example it says that 'Space observatories' is a program, and lists a number of space telescopes there. Or that 'Mars missions' is a program and lists some NASA Mars missions there. The whole list looks like a bad version of List of Solar System probes and List of space telescopes, so it should probably be purged and redirected to smth like Lists of spacecraft. Second article is Cargo spacecraft. It's basically a list and tells almost nothing about, well, cargo spacecraft. I think it can be renamed to List of cargo spacecraft (though this Comparison of space station cargo vehicles already exists), with Cargo spacecraft redirected to a section of the main Uncrewed spacecraft article. Any thoughts or comments on this? I don't know how active this project is, but don't want to proceed with such changes purely by myself. Artem.G (talk) 10:22, 24 February 2023 (UTC) Be bold and do what you need to and ping this project if you run into difficulty.--Wehwalt (talk) 13:24, 24 February 2023 (UTC) What Wehwalt said. We're a pretty active project, but not overly organized. :) But happy to give advice and reviews when needed. --Neopeius (talk) 15:42, 25 February 2023 (UTC) Thank you both! I merged Cargo spacecraft to the main uncrewed spacecraft article, and redirected the list. If there are any concerns, pls ping me here! Artem.G (talk) 08:32, 26 February 2023 (UTC) SpaceNews citations I would like to propose that SpaceNews citations be avoided if at all possible. I have not encountered anything suggesting that they are in anyway an unreliable source, but at the time of writing, spacenews.com is excluded from the Wayback Machine and that creates a problem for citation longevity. So I propose that in instances where another reliable source can be easily found, it is used instead. askeuhd (talk) 09:17, 8 March 2023 (UTC) Collaboration and improvement on Space Food article Hi everyone, I have been trying to improve the Space Food article (Space food). It's currently listed under the "articles for improvement" page (Wikipedia:Articles for improvement/Articles). I have been working on improving this article the last few weeks such as adding more sources, reorganising content for better readability, adding more technical content to provide further explanations and context for the readers etc. The article is currently Class C - Mid Importance on the Spaceflight WikiProject. I am trying to improve the article and perhaps even raise its class. Would anyone be interested in collaborating together on this? Note* I originally posted this message on the article talk page but there wasn't much activity so posting here instead. Very keen to work with others to get it improved! Thanks!
