In the news: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/15/world/middleeast/12-years-later-a-mystery-of-chemical-exposure-in-iraq-clears-slightly.html Greg (talk) 20:00, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ah the NYtimes, over a decade now and it is still claiming every substance found in Iraq was evidence of "chemical weapons". I wonder how they'd report on raiding your house? You have bleach at home right? Oh dear-"chemical weapons" evidence right there buddy. Putting their style of "reporting" aside, I suppose it is somewhat notable that US grunts didn't know what TG-02 referred to and they were also seemingly too busy not to google it before manhandling the barrels and exposing themselves to the vapors. I mean as you can see in the picture, the barrels literally had "TG-02" written on them, there was no need to "have a translator" present as they claim.
Still though, should we include the story? I'd like to, it's just I don't feel it's a good idea to use that specific reference. If you know of a more scientific or medical reference that details the effects of exposure to these unwitting "victims" in a less sensationalized manner, then add it to the article by all means as that would be valuable.

Orphaned references in Tonka (fuel)[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Tonka (fuel)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "b14643-isayev":

  • From S5.4: Brügge, Norbert. "Spacecraft-propulsion blocks (KDU) from Isayev's design bureau (now Khimmash)". B14643.de. Retrieved 2015-06-02.
  • From A.M. Isayev Chemical Engineering Design Bureau: Brügge, Norbert. "Spacecraft-propulsion blocks (KDU) from Isayev's design bureau (now KB KhimMash)". B14643.de. Archived from the original on 2015-06-02. Retrieved 2015-07-30. {{cite web}}: Unknown parameter |deadurl= ignored (|url-status= suggested) (help)

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 16:15, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Buryan's donkey.[edit]

> the eventually abandoned Burya ICBM

The soviet Burya was not an ICBM per se, it was more like an SR-71 sized D-21, i.e. a huge ramjet powered drone aircraft, which flew horizontally at Mach 3-4 at high altitude over great distances, rather than being thrown on a ballistic trajectory. 77.234.84.169 (talk) 12:04, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
