Hey, Template:U, thanks for your review and taking an interest in the article. The Weebau.com site is a compendium of space vehicle references from the multitude of governments and organizations operating space launch vehicles up through 2011 (I think). The (secondary source) site has a listing of the primary references it uses to present its information. The reference links can be found HERE. I just used WeeBau because it's one of several such collections online. I could also use one of the other germane references in the article if necessary, as I like duplication of sources. (I will go ahead and do that anyway). I'll see if I can find on-line access to any of the primary sources as well. GenQuest "scribble" 04:41, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi Template:U, what I would be looking for on this sort of site would be some sort of solid editorial oversight, eg on my last DYK review the source was a similar website, but I was reassured that the page in question wasn't just one person's opinion by the qualified looking editorial group - here. If weebau gives references, consider using them instead of weebau where appropriate.
At the moment the sentence in question in the article has 3 sources, but only weebau mentions the facts in the hook. If you could support them with another reliable source, that would be helpful. Thanks. Gog the Mild (talk) 15:05, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
Gog, the primary and printed secondary sources, I fear, are all off-line, and Russia isn't advertising this one anywhere I can find. I'm still looking, and I added a german site, which verifies the same info, but not sure it's going to be any help? There is This Fact Sheet site, too.

Template:U, sadly not. Even if I were to approve it, it would be bounced by the main page folk. If you can't find a more reliable verification, maybe we should consider changing the hook? I have switched to ALT1, which is reliably sourced, but if you could properly support ALT0, that is hookier. Gog the Mild (talk) 21:02, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
I can't get a bigger library right now that might have something on ALT0, so changing the hook is OK by me. The bit about hand-releasing the thing into orbit was surprising to me, and I thought that was a good hook (or some close variation of it). GenQuest "scribble" 22:12, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Template:U, I had, I thought, struck ALT0 and approved ALT1 - which does not appear to have any issues. Gog the Mild (talk) 19:31, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
Template:U, Template:U, I guess green-light the ALT1, then. No luck on ALT0 without access to copies of the printed papers and mags mentioned in those on-line refs. GenQuest "scribble" 15:30, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
