My version looked nicer[edit]

Also, I think you wikified way way way too much stuff, the article is unpleasant on the eye now... but thanks for looking at this article. Zen Master 00:01, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I wikified all the pertinent information, I thought. But I get your point in general. Thanks for the comment Katefan0 08:44, Nov 14, 2004 (UTC)

Also, I think it is completely pointless to have in his bio information on the specific missions Mr. Springer participated in. If it was information on what exact role Mr. Springer played in each mission, then I could see it. But as it is, it's cleaner to wiki to each mission link and see much more detail that way. Including such in his profile it only creates clutter. Katefan0 08:46, Nov 14, 2004 (UTC)

To a certain extent I agree, and I was wrong before about it being directly specific to his bio. However, the reason Robert has an article on wikipedia is that fact he was an astronaut, so the article should have as much info as possible relating to "space missions" (I am fine with that section header removal), even if the data is redundant yes. We can clean it up some more likely. Are there other NASA pages on wikipedia that were like this one was originally? Zen Master 09:44, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I'm not sure, honestly -- I just happened across this one. There is a list of astronauts but I'm not sure how complete it is. Katefan0 22:24, Nov 14, 2004 (UTC)
