Gaganyaan[edit]
Listing the articles related to the Gaganyaan missions, including two drafts for further development:
Pinging ISRO-interested members @Akshadev, Aman.kumar.goel, and Shaunak mohotra: and anyone else who may be interested. Erick Soares3 (talk) 15:50, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- @4-RAZOR 01, খাঁ শুভেন্দু, AltruisticHomoSapien, and LakhnawiNawab: calling some of the people who have been creating the biographies. Erick Soares3 (talk) 11:47, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- ok, will try LakhnawiNawab (talk) 13:24, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- ok , thanks erick , will try and see if we can get more sources to cite them . Also do we have confirmation of a third gaganyaan test flight ? ThanX RAZOR-X (talk) 13:19, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- erik Draft:Gaganyaan-3 is now live RAZOR-X (talk) 13:40, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- Draft:Gaganyaan-3 RAZOR-X (talk) 13:41, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- @4-RAZOR 01 and LakhnawiNawab Thanks! I think that the crewed mission should soon be good enough for the main page - but it will take some time before G-2 and G-3 are ready... Erick Soares3 (talk) 14:09, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- Calling @Editor8220:! What do you think? Erick Soares3 (talk) 16:12, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks @Erick Soares3 for mentioning me.
- I think the main article: Gaganyaan statisfies the current demand of information.
- But if we have enough bulks of information available specifically for articles closely related and inclusive to it as you listed above, I think we can go ahead👍🏻 Editor8220 (talk) 17:56, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- so we will keep em as drafts till the actual missions will launch ... Good..
- Any opinion on a page titles List of gaganyaan missions? RAZOR-X (talk) 08:03, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Editor8220 You're welcome!
- Personally, I think that at least G-4 has enough information to enter main space as a stub — specially in comparison to missions that are about to happen, like Shenzhou 18, SpaceX Crew-8 and SpaceX Crew-9. For much, I think we could use a "background" section, telling in short how the crew was chosen and how their training in Russia/India went.
- @4-RAZOR 01 I would let everything at Gaganyaan#Launches until it needs to be split into its own page. Erick Soares3 (talk) 11:13, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
- K RAZOR-X (talk) 11:40, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
- For anyone interested, I got this picture at the PM Narendra Modi Youtube Channel (ISRO video uploaded in Creative Commons): File:Gaganyaan crew at Russia.jpg. I wanted to upload the video, but the Video2Commons is glitched right now. Erick Soares3 (talk) 12:13, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
- Calling @Peaceray: who may be interested. If Pace has time, would be great if you could contribute to the following discussion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Angad Pratap. Erick Soares3 (talk) 21:59, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

History of spaceflight article needs development[edit]
History of spaceflight was supposed to be a well-developed article, but apparently it was neglected for 2 decades of its existence. I just nuked a massive listcruft that lists every single mission as a subheader and use {{excerpt}} to fill out the content. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 15:21, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- Neopeius, you may be interested in this. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 15:25, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- I reverted the large scale undiscussed removal of spaceflight programs - it's pretty much what the article is about. Randy Kryn (talk) 15:40, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- No, it is an unsustainable cluster and the content should be deleted to make space for new content. All of these programs, in one way or another, has been mentioned in the main body of the article. Also, could you stop watchlisting my edits? CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 15:46, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- Luckily I have many crossovers with you on my watchlist (no, my watchlist doesn't include "CactiStaccingCrane contributions"), as do probably many other wikiproject members. You have a tendency to go into a feature article, such as today with Venus, and almost totally rewrite the lead. I didn't check Venus because I know you revert my reverts, usually for no reason, and I would ask that others look these over, thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 15:56, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

- I strongly encourage editors use the talk page for articles when making or contemplating certain kinds of changes. Large removals or additions of text; also changing section header text. Expanding a bit on each:
- There's no hard limit on article size. Obsolete material can/should be updated or removed, or marked as needing update. Somewhat by convention if material has been tagged 'update needed' for an appropriate length of time and no update happens it gets removed.
- Section headers were tricky already, and as wikipedia technology changes are getting trickier still. They served as anchors for redirects and links from other articles. At a minimum proper article maintenance involves assuring any such links still work. The new wrinkle involves 'excerpt' functionality where whole paragraphs from an article or section get transcluded into other articles. Changes that could break those deserve extra caution. If there's urgency; move fast and break things. Then as a courtesy, mention the reason for the urgency in talk page discussion.

Requested move at Talk:RLV Technology Demonstration Programme#Requested move 27 February 2024[edit]
There is a requested move discussion at Talk:RLV Technology Demonstration Programme#Requested move 27 February 2024 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. ASUKITE 16:56, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
Flags for astronauts[edit]
A user removed the flags in Boeing Crewed Flight Test and there is some discussion on their talk page, but we use these flags in hundreds of articles. I prefer keeping the flags (and adding them back for the CFT). What do others think? --mfb (talk) 04:04, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- Maungapohatu's is selective and subjective: when the astronaut is representing a country the flag is highly relevant; not so much when the flag is simply showing an astronauts citizenship. Yet consistency it would be nice to keep all flags. IMO, NASA astronauts certainly represent the USA. (— 𝐬𝐝𝐒𝐝𝐬 — - talk) 07:22, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Spaceflight for some major topics nominated for deletion[edit]
Emphasis on two new deletion attempts which may be of added interest to members of this WikiProject (not everyone marks the sorting page on their watchlist). Randy Kryn (talk) 12:11, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
After a protracted argument on the Dyson sphere talk page that seemed to be going nowhere, I decided to consolidate and restate the basic issues concerning this section in general, and one particular instance that has proven especially vexing, as I see them. I hope that members of this and other related WikiProjects might weigh in and give their opinions. P Aculeius (talk) 18:10, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
