Talk:Space Camp (United States)

message: This has the potential to be a really great article.  Things I'd like to see added are:
*Better overview section.
*History, a section for both for the camp as a whole, and for each of the programs (dates, etc.)
*Statistics, such as number of attendees / year, number of alumni, etc.
*Discussion of Space Camp in pop culture, maybe  discuss the movie of the same name, etc.
*Wikification
Like I said before, I think we could make this really great, so I'll be working on this when I have time, and I hope everyone will help contribute as much as they can :)   - Matt 03:41, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Please do.  I've been looking online for sources to cite regarding its history (specifically the von Braun/Buckbee "talk in the park") but amazingly have found very little, even though its all fairly well known within the "family".  I've moved the 25th Anniversary material into the History section and revised it to be more time neutral (?).  I also plan on working on the "AD-iness" (is that a word?) so it more accurately reflects the institution and programs.   Crkey 01:12, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The proper name of the camp is "Space Camp" and has not been "U.S. Space Camp" for some time (I can't find the exact date but it has been at least 10 years).  The change in name was the result of increased international attendance as well as the international focus of the International Space Station.  There is a disambiguation page for "Space Camp" already.  Does it make sense to rename this page then to "Space Camp (camp)"? Crkey (talk) 01:52, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think disambiguation page does the job.  If we change this one, it would have to be "Space Camp (United States camp)" and we would have to change the camps in Europe and Turkey to match...  ComputerGeezer (talk) 18:11, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rename page 

message: The listing of the management staff really is not very encyclopedic.  Besides, "Space Camp" is not the organization.  It's the product.  Looking a this as a company, the United States Space & Rocket Center or even an article about the Alabama Space Science Exhibit Commission would probably be a better place to put a management listing as that is the actual corporate entity.  This section was previously removed on 11 April 2008. Crkey (talk) 02:05, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Museum exhibits, specifically the Jedi exhibit mention, do not belong on the camp page but should be on the museum page, US Space and Rocket Center.  I plan to move this mention to the appropriate page.  Crkey (talk) 16:59, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

message: 3 years since it was tagged and it still reads like an advertisement. I am currently working on another article at the moment, but if I have time I will return to this article to make it read more like an encyclopedia entry. TetraEleven (talk) 07:35, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tone Revision 

message: Episode number needs verification. The source cited is a YouTube post which claims the scene is from "the third episode of the fourth season of the series". However, the List of Eastbound & Down episodes says the fourth episode of that season is the one in which "Toby uses his dad as a role model to summon the courage to feed his new pet", and this fansite is in agreement, with the episode summary:
:'Kenny buys lavish gifts, including ... a purebred wolf for Toby. With Kenny gone a alot more, the wolf will serve as a spirit guide, and strong male role model for Toby, so he doesn’t ”turn out weird.”'

message: I've removed the "Notable attendees and visitors" and "In popular culture" sections because I believe they were WP:UNDUE coverage that didn't really belong in the article. I think a significantly pared down version of the "In popular culture" section would be acceptable but I've decided to boldly TNT the whole thing in hopes that anyone trying to bring it back will stick to references that can be secondarily sourced. casualdejekyll 21:20, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
