Talk:STS-46

Date format to MDY

@CRS-20: I am reverting your changes to the date format for this article. As has already been discussed numerous times with you, a US-centered article should use MDY date format, in line with MOS:DATETIES. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 06:34, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The mission highlights section closely paraphrases NASA website

First sentence of highlights section of this article:

"The mission's primary objectives were the deployment of the European Space Agency's European Retrievable Carrier (EURECA) and the joint NASA/ASI (Italian Space Agency) Tethered Satellite System (TSS-1)."

First sentence of NASA description of STS-46:

"The primary objective was deployment of the European Space Agency’s European Retrievable Carrier (EURECA) and operation of the joint NASA/Italian Space Agency Tethered Satellite System (TSS)."

This article's section on secondary payloads:

"Secondary payloads included the Evaluation of Oxygen Integration with Materials/Thermal Management Processes (EOIM-III/TEMP 2A), Consortium for Materials Development in Space Complex Autonomous Payload (CONCAP II and CONCAP III), IMAX Cargo Bay Camera (ICBC), Limited Duration Space Environment Candidate Materials Exposure (LDCE), Pituitary Growth Hormone Cell Function (PHCF), and the Ultraviolet Plume Instrument (UVPI). The mission was extended by a day in order to complete scientific objectives."

NASA section on primary payloads:

"Secondary payloads were: Evaluation of Oxygen Integration with Materials/Thermal Management Processes (EOIM-III/TEMP 2A-3); Consortium for Materials Development in Space Complex Autonomous Payload (CONCAP II and CONCAP III); IMAX Cargo Bay Camera (ICBC); Limited Duration Space Environment Candidate Materials Exposure (LDCE); Air Force Maui Optical Site (AMOS); Pituitary Growth Hormone Cell Function (PHCF); and Ultraviolet Plume Instrument (UVPI)."

I've learned more about Wikipedia guidelines and checked NASA's copyright policy:

"NASA should be acknowledged as the source of the material."

Since NASA wasn't acknowledged as the source of nearly all the content in that section, it violates their policy and WP:Plagiarism. Titan(moon)003 (talk) 17:39, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
