A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on June 20, 2009.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that the Bold Orion air-launched ballistic missile was the first missile ever to intercept an artificial satellite?


Mil Hist B-class Commentary

edit

Looks good for a B-class article. I assessed coverage as "yes", because it looks covered and I'm taking in good faith it is, though I admit I am no authority on the history of ballistic missiles. I would suggest some sentence to wrap it up at the end, like, "With the success of the final test, the innovations of the Bold Orion were implemented in the next missile..." or something. Roger out.

1. weapins. Change to weapons.

  Done

2. USAF's. Suggest - Changing USAF to United States Air Force, as some people might not understand that acronym

I added a clarification of the acronym after where the full name is given on the line above.

3. change the Bibliography so that it is in alphabetical order.

  Done

I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow you to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns. Thurgate (talk) 01:24, 20 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

What country is this anyway?

edit

It appears that this article has a minor case of UK English, e.g., "authorisation." As this is an American weapons system, designed, built, and tested in the United States, why is UK English even being contemplated for use here? It's bad enough seeing it in the ISS article but here there can't even be a remote excuse for it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.18 (talk) 18:41, 24 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
