[edit] Profanity in quotes

Please quote correctly. There is no point in having a quote saying "Oh <profanity>, I've broken the <profanity> thing!" when the whole quote is about <profanity>. In this case, substituting <profanity> for the actual profanity is hypocritical. If you feel that some readers will be offended by that profanity, omit the quote. If you feel it is important for the article, do not mutilate the quote. IMHO, nobody will be hurt by the correct quote. --Tob 14:52, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

I'm not even sure there *is* a correct quote - Young muttered "oh my god" a couple of times, says te Lunar Surface Journal...
121:21:45 Young: Charlie.
121:21:46 Duke: What?
121:21:47 Young: Something happened here.
121:21:48 Duke: What happened?
121:21:49 Young: I don't know. (Brief Pause) Here's a line that pulled loose. (Pause)
121:21:57 Duke: Uh-oh.
121:21:58 Young: What is that? What line is it?
121:22:02 Duke: That's the heat flow. You've pulled it off.
121:22:05 Young: I don't know how it happened. (Pause)
121:22:11 Young: (Walking toward the Central Station) Pulled loose from there?
121:22:12 Duke: Yeah.
121:22:14 Young: God almighty. (Pause)
121:22:17 Duke: Well, I'm wasting my time.
121:22:20 Young: I'm sorry. I didn't even know...I didn't even know it. (Pause) Agh; it's sure gone.
...
121:23:02 Young: I'm sorry, Charlie. God Damn...
but that's as close as it gets to "<profanity>". I've removed the quote. Shimgray 15:25, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Succession box

How do I find information on creating succession boxes? I'd like to link Apollo/Gemini/Mercury/Skylab/Apollo-Soyuz to each flight, for example, Apollo 15 and 17 for the Apollo 16 article. I've hunted in edit but it is not immediately obvious where it is. GBC 18:11, 22 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Dates

I'm not sure if I'm missing something obvious, but on what date di the craft return to Earth? --Chickenfeed9 16:08, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Photographs not art?

"As a photograph, it could not be interpreted as 'art'" -- huh? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.235.7.36 (talk) 10:22, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Read this article again ..

... and let's all agree that it could use a re-write with some better organization. To my eye, it's disjointed. 68Kustom (talk) 00:06, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree. This and the Apollo 17 article need serious work. Andy120290 (talk) 00:50, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
