Being accurate is better than fast for an encyclopedia

Hi,

This edit of yours was too fast, you copy-pasted comments from the previous launch. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not a news service, so instead of being very quick try to get your edits right - using the preview function can help with that. Thanks. Lklundin (talk) 11:40, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, yeah, I know how it goes. Preview everything. And believe me, I usually do. However, I usually come back to fix my mistakes. And here in English Wikipedia I mostly update spaceflight-related statistics which is very fast to do so I don't always bother to preview all the little edits. Besides, I don't edit that often so you don't have to worry about me too much. Grounded Cosmonaut (talk) 11:50, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Question about recent edit

In This Edit - you added a Long March 2C dated as Q4 TBD caring Yaogan-30 G:I which are listed as operational. I can find nothing about the payload and if it has launched we should have a date. Was this addition a mistake? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whaleyjosh (talk • contribs) 14:51, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

Well, they certainly are not operational. That's what happens when you copypaste stuff and don't check everything properly. Thanks for pointing out. And please do sign your messages. Grounded Cosmonaut (talk) 20:01, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
