Inappropriate link removal[edit]

I do not agree with users Mannheim_34 and Ohnoitsjamie with their removal of any link to webpages hosted on a commercial website (almost any .com domain). I expressed my opinion here and here. I ask to the community: are these in your opinion links to "web pages that primarily exist to sell products or services, or to web pages with objectionable amounts of advertising"?

Learn About the Sikhote-Alin Meteorite

I don't want to start an edit war so if you agree with my point of view please restore any suitable reference removed [1] from this article. Thanks. -- Basilicofresco (msg) 22:32, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Opaque expression[edit]

Does "the post atmospheric mass of the meteoroid" mean the total mass of the fragments after they had passed through the atmosphere? This needs recasting.--Wetman (talk) 21:26, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is the not-ablated mass, but it is different from the total known weight. What do you suggest? -- Basilicofresco (msg) 13:40, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Name of this article[edit]

Could someone please determine the correct name for this article? It is very unsatisfying that the name of the article is not in the first sentence of the article. Perhaps it would be good to consultant Russian experts in this matter. - Richard Cavell (talk) 01:14, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
