Notes on Wikipedia


Dear High Ground Readers,

While I have been (and continue to be) a contributor to Wikipedia on a variety of topics, The High Ground was specifically revived to combat the shameless pilfering of pages I had singlehandedly created. I don't mind as much when the pages have resources cited (as you will note in almost every paragraph of these pages), but I hate when the information is added by folks ignorant of the systems, people or history regarding United States space systems. Cutting-and-pasting removes so much of the context from the content that the information is useless.

Agree or Disagree, all I ask is if you decide to shamelessly pilfer the information presented here, at least cite the source, either the High Ground website or the document I got the research from. I troll through Wikipedia pages on a routine basis, and "correct" errors when I find them.

On the reverse of that, if you find information here that is not properly sourced, or the source is incorrect, feel free to let me know. I'm not a fan of plagiarism, and will be fixing the past High Ground articles to eliminate it.

Thanks,

TDRSS
