Sources
I am beginning a project to go through and verify all of the sources used in this article. One snag I'm reaching is I need to find a copy of Edward Tufte's Envisioning Information to verify these statements. -- Carl Jantzen 13:48, 20 August 2007 (CDT)
7/15 Weekly Wiki Responses
Hi Carl, just popped in to say this is quite a good article since you were asking a comment. I don't know much about the subject, but you manage to give a good clear overview of the topic. Informative and concise; a good combination :-) Denis Cavanagh 10:22, 15 August 2007 (CDT)
Space debris looks good, and is an improvement over the Wikipedia article in several places, but the WP article appears to have gained a section about "Significant debris impact events" which is very interesting, since that's exactly the sort of thing people are worried about space debris for. --Larry Sanger 10:37, 15 August 2007 (CDT)
- I actually removed that section from this article because I felt that most of the sources were either unreliable or contradicted each other. When I get the chance I'm going to re-review the sources and do some googling to see if there is any real research suggesting those events were debris-related. --Carl Jantzen 10:45, 15 August 2007 (CDT)
Earth Orbit vs Earth's Orbit
I'm think (but I am not an expert!) that earth orbit refers to orbits around the earth, and earth's orbit refers to the orbit in which earth travels around the sun. So I think in the opening paragraph "earth orbit" is actually the correct usage. -- Carl Jantzen 13:49, 15 August 2007 (CDT)
