Talk:Franklin Chang-Díaz

message: I deleted this phrase "(張福林, pinyin: Zhāng Fùlín) " as the "Chinese name" is merely a cornotation of his name Franklin. It is in fact, misleading to say that it is a Chinese name. Wikizap 19:54,  23 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::Franklin Chang-Diaz is listed as the "first Hispanic-American person" in space. Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez is also Hispanic and from the Americas. Shouldn't Chang-Diaz be listed as the first Hispanic-U.S. citizen in space? Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez was launched into space as a Cuban cosmonaut by the Soviet Union in 1980.

message: Unfortunately, the Oct 2008 Hispanic Heritage Month "Daily Fact" source (pdf) claims to be sourced from Wikipedia, so it is not a reliable source for assertions in a Wikipedia article. The full citation, currently in the article as of 19 Mar 2010, is: 
Hispanic Heritage Month – Daily Fact, October 15, 2008, accessed 2010-03-10.
I assume good faith on the part of all editors who have used this source, including myself.  However, we will need to find other sources for the claims previously cited by the HHM factsheet, or remove the claims from Wikipedia.  N2e (talk) 18:36, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed the removed the "Hispanic Heritage Month 'Daily Fact' " newsletter source and tagged the relevant assertions .  This source was unreliable due to being sourced circularly from Wikipedia, as was noted in the article and above (on the Talk page) two weeks ago.  N2e (talk) 03:50, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Hmm, develop a commercially-operated space industry instead of having only on a government operating organisation, we should go to Mars as a goal, developing more advanced space propulsion instead of the old fashion chemical propulsion, shielding technologies to protect the astronauts during deep space flight... When I heard Obama's speech I was immediately thinking of Dr. Franklin Chang-Diaz. Was Chang-Diaz somehow the advisor for Obama's new space plans? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.211.40.7 (talk) 10:33, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
