[edit] DeepSpace's recent edit

The recent edit[1] by User:DeepSpace reads (to me at least) like advertising copy; I think it has NPOV problems, for example consider this except:

The Python 5's head seeker literally sees a clear image of the target and background, giving it an incredible advantage over other missiles by authenticating the target, thus reducing the chance of being mislead by counter measures. Using this technology allows the luxury of locking on a target after the launch. The transition to this unique technology required a development by RAFAEL, which exists in only several countries in the world.

(I've emphasized some of the words which I think may be a breach of the NPOV policy. I would also note that something can hardly be "unique" if it "exists in several countries in the world")

User:DeepSpace has only made two edits, the other one of which was vandalism.

Should this edit just be reverted?

Maybe just clean it up a little bit. It did bring a lot more info on this subject, so rv-ing it might not be the best. --Borisborf

Just found that he copied word-for-word out of this website which is not public-domain:

http://www.israeli-weapons.com/weapons/missile_systems/air_missiles/python/Python5.html This must be RVed.

I cleaned up the page and added variuos Python-family missile info. -- Adeptitus 19:54, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] there should be seperate article for derby

i thought python-3/4 and 5 are different from each other. And derby is a medium range missile. shouldn't we have seperate article for each missile

True, but this is a general Python Missile page with consolidated info. -- Adeptitus 18:04, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
