The only patch is the Gemini 4 insignia. Ed White was also a member of Apollo 1. Just because he died a few weeks before launch doesn't mean he wasn't a part of the mission. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.32.128.240 ( talk) 12:05, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
The image File:Gemini Four patch.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here.

I reverted an edit that changed Edward Higgen's infobox from "Killed while training in the Apollo 1 Command Module" to "Died during a plugs-out test of the AS-204 Command Module" because to me such a description is too detailed for an encyclopedic article. But if I moved too swiftly, please respond and lets discuss the pros and cons. Thanks! Skeet Shooter ( talk) 03:38, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

(I assume he actually said this, as I'm watching it on the first episode of the HBO documentary series From the Earth to the Moon. __ meco ( talk) 12:48, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
I agree with JustinTime55's previous comment in an edit summary that "Replacement of Apollo 1 portrait w/ older one not an improvement", but 69.116.4.45 has again replaced Apollo1-EdWhite.jpg with EdwardWhite.jpeg. Are we going to have to have a revert war over this? Gildir ( talk) 19:32, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Edward Higgins White → Ed White (astronaut) – Wasn't he known as just "Ed White"? Google searches seem to support this:
"Edward Higgins White" was probably used mostly in a formal setting. HandsomeFella ( talk) 20:07, 25 December 2017 (UTC) }}

I'd pick a less colloquial term than "high-flier"
