the photo in the article goes without a description. can anybody add one to it? Roswell Crash Survivor 03:31, 23 September 2006 (UTC)I'm so new to Wiki I couldn't even get a caption right.
I'm editing the Freja (satellite) article, and this article claims that it was launched on October 5. However it was lunched on October 6 UTC (see that article and references). I'm not sure what timezone the other dates are in this article. Should we change? Kricke 22:46, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Good work adding the specs table showing details for for each version. It would be even better if it included columns like "Date of first launch", "Date of most recent launch", "Number of launches" and "Active/inactive".
The internal links in the table all just direct straight back to the main Long March page.
Is there any point in keeping them? Lethe naiad ( talk) 13:06, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
I am concerned about the Long March 5 entry in the table of variants. Firstly, an anonymous user keeps changing it to "Long March 6", without providing any evidence. If anybody corrects his edit, then he changes it back and accuses them of vandalism. Secondly, some of the sources provided for this entry seem irrelevant, particularly this, which I cannot read, but it appears to be a book cover, and I find it unlikely that it could provide much information on the status of the programme. This source appears to contain some information on a Chinese programme, but it is unclear if it is CZ-5. The main text of that article contains little or no useful information. Finally, this source appears to be completely irrelevant. Please can we try to address these issues. --GW_Simulations User Page | Talk 10:32, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
it is clear that LM6 and LM7 are in development,according to Chinadaily, link: http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/cndy/2010-03/05/content_9540258.htm 20:00,19 January 2011

I don't get recentism out of the launch history at all. In fact, most of the section deals with demonstrated and claimed results of launches that happned over a decade ago and are well understood historically. The second paragraph could be fixed or removed on recentism, I guess, but I think it takes just removing 'flawless' claims to remedy it, not a complete scrapping of the section. aremisasling ( talk) 18:52, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
The Intelsat 708 accident where the Long March 3 missile landed on a rural village killed a large number of civilians was bad enough without people resorting to excessive levels of speculation. People died. This much we know and this is all.
That the Chinese officials changed their figures shortly after an Israeli tape was released does not prove that there was any intention to deceive. For example, shortly after the Black Saturday bushfires in Australia the death toll rose exponentially as the days went by and was expected to be around 300 but weeks later was confirmed at 173. As time goes on more information becomes available and a more accurate assessment can be made. Any suggestion that the Chinese changed their figures because of an Israeli tape is a post hoc ergo propter hoc argument and not logical regardless of what Chinese intentions may have been. Furthermore, we have no idea whether this is the final figure or not.
To then include a totally unverifiable figure of "upwards of 500 killed" citing the Washington Post article - which makes no mention of that figure - is nothing more than hype. Even the Washington Post article does not say this. Plucking arbitrary figures out of the air like that is not appropriate. A quick check of Google Maps at 102.0371E, 28.233N and satellite view shows that the area is sparsely populated and the local concentrations are quite small so that the figure of 200 would probably be the upper limit.

This seems to be a vague, long-term proposal. I don't believe it is notable at this time, and it should be merged into this article until if and when its design is finalised and it is under development. -- W. D. Graham 19:35, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
