[edit] From my talk page

Hi,

I recently made a revision to the wikipedia article about the AGM-88 Missile and I noticed you changed it back. I had changed to top speed from Mach4 to Mach2, after submitting a paper in my school, NYU, and being notified by my professor that I was mistaken about the speed. You changed it back to Mach4, which makes me think you know something that I don't. I would be very interested to see if you could reference this top speed with a reliable source. It would also help me improve my grade.

Thanks in advance for your help. —This unsigned comment was added by 195.113.142.207 (talk • contribs) .

Hi. Yeah, I remember making that edit. It actually wasn't because I knew that the top speed is Mach 4, or indeed anything about the darn missle. I sort of hoped that if the top speed really was Mach 2 instead of Mach 4, and somebody knew that, they'd come back and say something, and maybe provide a source that we could cite in what is currently an unreferenced article. Do you know of a reference that says anything about the AGM-88's top speed? It sounds like you might have more access to information about missles than I do. I guess we could change it back on your professor's word, but even better would be citing or linking to a reference where that, and other facts in the article, can be verified. -GTBacchus^(talk) 02:29, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
