[edit] Caption
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.
[edit] Dates
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)
- I searched the web in Chinese, some sources (11 results) claim it was October 5, while others (223 results) claim October 6. Yao Ziyuan 12:30, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- More web searches reveal the launch time might be 14:20 Beijing time on October 6, I'm not sure if the time was Daylight saving, it could be 06:20 UTC (no daylight saving) or 05:20 UTC (daylight saving), can't be 07:20 as claimed by the article Freja (satellite). Yao Ziyuan 12:36, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- Not a daylight saving time, the launch time was 06:20 UTC on October 6. Yao Ziyuan 12:38, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- Ok, I got 07:20 UTC from the NSSDC Master Catlalog. Kricke 17:12, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- I mailed NSSDC, and they've corrected the problem. Yao Ziyuan 15:18, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
- God job! I found more errors in the MSSDC master catalog, but I never got a reply when I e-mailed them. See launch date for the Hubble Space Telescope and its launch vehicle STS 31. One would imagine they should have the same launch date? :) E-mail them if you want to, I won't do it again. If you do, you can confirm that they NSSDC are the maintainers of the International Designator Catalog and not COSPAR. Se discussion on Talk:International_Designator.

[edit] Specifications table
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".
[edit] Internal Links
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)
