Is the de interwiki valid? JanSuchy 22:12, 23 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

It is now, but maybe it's been fixed in the past three and a half years :-). --Jatkins (talk - contribs) 17:35, 4 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Info on Wendt

edit

I have a copy of a 1969 or 1970 book First on the Moon about the Apollo 11 flight which contains a chapter mostly devoted to Wendt with a bit more detailed info and some interesting quotes, plus an incident where he once called pad security on a stubborn engineer. This should help upgrade the article and will provide at least one citation. I will be editing this soon. JustinTime55 (talk) 19:31, 31 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

I didn't know of Mr. Wendt (though I had have seen him on TV :-)) until I read about his death. It however appears to me that NASA might be in need of someone like him. Thyl213.70.217.172 (talk) 06:10, 4 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I'll take the liberty of assuming you mean that as a compliment to his character and how he did his job; I'm sure they've had someone fulfilling the same role on the shuttle launches. If/when our space program ever picks up again, they certainly will need such a person. Meanwhile, he becomes just another part of the lore of a bygone era of spaceflight we would like to see return. Here's to you, Guenther. JustinTime55 (talk) 18:57, 5 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

No longer a recent death

edit

For clarification of myself, and maybe some other newer editors who might have been a bit confused by removal of the recent deaths tag, I read the template instructions and see that policy is to only tag recent deaths for one week. (It might have been helpful to descibe the edit as "no longer recent" instead of "not recent".) Also, while Mr. Wendt may be more famous in the Human Spaceflight community, use of the tag was probably inappropriate since it is intended only for deaths of widely famous people, to reduce confusion by many edits made in a breaking news environment. I don't know that any mainstream national news media even reported the death. JustinTime55 (talk) 17:48, 10 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

You wrongly placed this template; it does not belong in the talk page header, and the exact place you put it broke the WikiProject Aviation banner. It was not even visible. I reviewed the obituary URL, and I cannot detect any text that was copy-pasted. The template does not belong in the talk page at all anyway, but rather in the section of the article you think was copy-pasted. Please come here and identify what you think was copy-pasted; if you can't, I will remove this tag. JustinTime55 (talk) 12:13, 1 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
