  Unfortunately that has not always been smooth as told in the Lessons Learned from the General Atomics Hot cell facility Decontamination & decommissioning project. http://www.wmsym.org/archives/1999/33/33-44.pdf

Not sure, and I could be wrong, but this looks to me to be vandalism.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.103.35.72 (talk) 23:31, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

:Nice job on editing the article, by the way.
:As for blocking an IP address, my sense is that what's happened with this article is considered so low-level a degree of vandalism (only four times in the last year) that an automated approach is overkill.  The article is on my watchlist, and I hope it's on yours, and it seems to be on other people's watchlist as well, and that seems to be enough right now, I believe.  If someone were to attack the article several times a day, that would be different.  John Broughton 12:32, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:General Atomics.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: A BOT removed a link I added to the Smithsonian's Drone exhibit. Is You tube excluded automatically ... for some reason? I suppose I can find a newspaper that has the same story, if that is the situation... (?)
I see that I hadn't logged in, so that was one factor.
The article is so pro-drone ("accolades" for example in place of "awards").
I wanted to include a link to an anti-drone video recorded at the Smithsonian Drone exhibit, just to toss in the issue of collateral damage, or "bug splat" as it is sometimes called, to the otherwise "Military Industrial Complex" tone of the article.
:If you can find a well-regarded secondary source critical of the military use of General Atomics Aeronautical Systems' drones and their potential for causing collateral damage, that's fine and balances any positive mention of the military use of those specific drones. Raising this issue for military drones in general might be best done in our article Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle, because General Atomics Aeronautical Systems is just one of several manufacturers of combat drones, so that the ethical issue's not confined to their drone aircraft.  There's already a discussion of the ethics of using drones in that article .
:However, the other issue you mention, "("accolades" for example in place of "awards")" seems to me to be just word choice - using the term "accolades" instead of "awards" isn't an NPOV issue, it's just a different term. 
:Hypothetically, if the article mentioned "Well-deserved accolades", that would be an example of an NPOV issue.  But simple word choice doesn't rise to that level. loupgarous (talk) 16:22, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
