Talk:High-power rocketry

This article - like 'Model Rocketry' - has some inconsistencies, errors in facts, and omits pertinent information. Evil Prince 11:08, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Abbreviations[edit]

Several abbreviations are used incorrectly. For example NFPA; It should read "National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)" Then after writing out the full name, it is ok to just use the abbreviation. This is also true for ACPC. Rocketmaniac 22:05, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to rename page to High Power Rocketry[edit]

The common and correct usage of the term is either High Power Rocket or High Power Rocketry. Both already exist as redirect pages to this one. I propose to rename the page to High Power Rocketry. Ikluft (talk) 02:05, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This move has now been completed. Ikluft (talk) 04:48, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question about commercial link[edit]

I've added a link to the Ricket Store as a source of information about the legalities surrounding motor purchase in the UK. This is a commerical retail site, but they do have the best information about the legal processes I can find. THE UKRA don't have current info, and the UKHSE don't mention model rockets at all. These are the two 'oficial' web sites that I would expect to be referring to. However, they have both let me down. Is this an acceptable link ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Titanicmark (talk • contribs) 11:55, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of Australian association information[edit]

Australia has two national rocketry associations - please respect this information and stop removing it.124.168.75.223 (talk) 14:01, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia generally has a problem that some people go around deleting unsourced material when it should be tagged or improved. There are spammers making a real problem - but the anti-spam folks sometimes take it too far the other way, deleting anything they're not familiar with. It's a societal overreaction to bad press WP got in earlier years about just plain wrong information on the site. It's a bigger problem since WP volunteerism is in decline - so now a larger proportion of people are interested in deleting than adding material. The trend makes WP more tedious for all of us. In order to help stave off the wolves, I rearranged the Australia links to make it fit the WP style better. I moved the external links to the "External links" section - generally WP wants links to other WP articles within the main body of the article. I also used them for new references in the text - so now the links support the text as references to where the statements came from, instead of looking possibly like unequal promotion of one organization. That should do the trick. Be sure to visit our launches at Black Rock if you come to this side of the Pacific. And I'd be happy to meet rocketeers in Australia whenever I get a chance to visit again.

Samantha Ridgeway L3 cert Specifics[edit]

While the article content states that Samantha Ridgeway was the first specifically female L3 cert in Australia, the caption under the image states that she was the first L3 cert in general. I am unfamiliar with Australian HPR, and both statements are unsourced, so I can't check which is true. I am leaning towards specifically female, as that is also what is stated on the image file itself. Maianovae (talk) 05:20, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
