thread_title:  Created this article 

message: I'm passing this as a "good article". It is well written, and the narrative is above average—that is, it's an interesting biography! Under the peer review banner, my minor suggestions include integrating the shorter quotes into their preceding paragraphs; and not using the big-blue-quotation-mark template (but that's just preference!). I am confused by the linking of "dementia praecox" in one of the quotes--did the speaker mean plain old dementia?  The section titled "Program manager" narrates for quite a stretch without providing date information. I also was not clear on how Shea managed to avoid the congressional testimony in the end. With the new job, he didn't have to? Again, nice article. –Outriggr § 06:31, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for responding. I followed the implicit part of point four, but like you, I don't understand how changing jobs can help one escape testifying, so explicit is good. The point five change is also good: because the speaker was referring to his father, I figured senility was the intended meaning.  –Outriggr § 23:16, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Good article nom 

message: Dear fellow contributors
MOSNUM no longer encourages date autoformatting, having evolved over the past year or so from the mandatory to the optional after much discussion there and elsewhere of the disadvantages of the system. Related to this, MOSNUM prescribes rules for the raw formatting, irrespective of whether a date is autoformatted or not). MOSLINK and CONTEXT are consistent with this. 
There are at least six disadvantages in using date-autoformatting, which I've capped here:
Removal has generally been met with positive responses by editors. Does anyone object if I remove it from the main text (using a script) in a few days’ time on a trial basis? The original input formatting would be seen by all WPians, not just the huge number of visitors; it would be plain, unobtrusive text, which would give greater prominence to the high-value links.

Is there such a thing???  Can someone check the reference?  I know of inertial guidance systems and one of their major attributes is they don't need an external input; ie: they rely on inertia to sense acceleration.  Ariconte (talk) 08:26, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I found a new webpage about Shea.  I think it's quite new -- I hadn't seen this page before, although I was aware of the austonautix main site. I don't think our Wiki page refers to this site, and there's some info in the site that isn't mentioned in the article. Check it out. http://astronautix.com/astros/shea.htm

thread_title:  New source of info on Shea 

message: I easily obtained a copy of this through Interlibrary Loans.  It is a valuable reference.  The paragraph about straitjackets says:
"The Apollo fire claimed more than three causalities.  One of Shea's deputies had a nervous breakdown.  Shea spent the night with him, talking him into entering a rest home.  The family minister arrived, suggesting the same thing.  The next day the man was taken to a sanitarium in a straitjacket."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.184.203.183 (talk) 16:27, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

message: I tried to find the article on the Time website, but I think they have put that issue behind a pay wall.--WPatrickW (talk) 23:53, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
