Talk:Launch on warning

message: Can someone provide references for some of this information. Such as that no countries have "launch on warning" systems employed, and the current situation regarding anti-ballistic missile systems. Kernow 00:01, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *I killed the entire 3rd section, as it was nothing but a massive WP:OR essay from beginning to end, i.e- completely un-Wikipedic. I seriously suggest someone goes and finds some real sources, since at the moment this article looks like a 6th grader's Current Events project.

replies: text: *I agree, but deletion of the passage is unwarranted. The entire article, not just the 3rd section, is unreferenced - as is the case for countless articles on Wiki. A strict application of WP:Verifiability and WP:OR will actually mandate the deletion of the article (and all those). I'm sure one can agree that finding some sources to buttress the article is more productive than destroying it completely. --Kazuaki Shimazaki 09:34, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm trying to whip this article into shape--to take out the unsourced statements and original research.  Where possible, of course, I'd prefer to add in sourced statements instead.  However, given my limited access to academic journals, plus the fact that its difficult to obtain factual information for an WP article about a subject that was and still mostly is highly classified, this isn't always possible.  One article I found seems like it might have some useful information to discuss post-Cold War launch on warning ideas, but I'm not sure that, for the purposes of this article, it qualifies as a reliable source.  The source I saw is an article in the New England Journal of Medicine, which, in the field of medicine, is one of the most prestigious journals there is.  Of course, this isn't an article about medicine, so the question is, do the conclusions of a group of doctors (albeit, a highly respected group), meet WP:RS in this context?  If I don't get any comments here, I can always take this to WP:RSN, too.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Qwyrxian (talk • contribs) 
:Yes, it would be WP:reliable source, please proceed and be bold. --Kubanczyk (talk) 21:20, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Alright, I'll pull the article up again in the next few days and see what can be added. Qwyrxian (talk) 05:40, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

message: multiple bombers on patrol at all times;[1] so, presumably, did its Soviet counterpart. - really ? Had the Soviet Union the capacity to do this 24/7 patrols (enough bombers, tankers, and suitable bases ?). Doubtful. --129.187.244.28 (talk) 12:23, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

message: I'm brand new to this and can't figure out how, or whether I should, indicate it in the article itself-- but source [5] doesn't support the claim immediately before it that "[the flag officer] was authorized to order a retaliatory strike if the President could not be contacted." A cursory Google search isn't showing me a better source to support this claim, but I don't know if that warrants deleting it.  TrumanXray (talk) 20:44, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
