South Padre Island

Regarding the reversion of my redirect, from South Padre Island to South Padre Island, TX The island (South Padre Island) is more thoroughly encompassed in Padre Island and Padre Island National Seashore and as a local to the SPI area this "South" designation to the article or query is really more relevant to the city (my opinion only).

Your thoughts and edits are appreciated. I'm not rolling it back, just presenting another perspective to consider. 162.198.97.65 (talk) 15:30, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see there is some content upstream that is affected, Someone split Padre into an "North" and South" article, though I consider Padre to be one big island that stuff *exists* and opinions vary.

So I will agree with you and abandon my redirect. 162.198.97.65 (talk) 15:42, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@162.198.97.65 One thing to note is that there's two separate concepts, the geographic and the census-based. The island is a physical thing and is split into two north and south islands. The dividing line is the Port Mansfield Channel that divides the island in two. On top of that is the city of South Padre Island within the Island of South Padre Island which is smaller than South Padre Island itself. This can easily be seen on Google Maps. If you enter in "North Padre Island" it draws the borders of where that starts and ends and you can see that the City of South Padre Island's border is not where "North Padre Island" on google maps is.

Brightness of Starlink Mini satellite

I am the person who performed the research and co-authored the paper that is cited. These satellites are fainter than Gen 1 but they are nowhere not 19% of the brightness. Please do not revert this again. Thank you. Planetary photometry (talk) 22:51, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Planetary photometry Firstly, whether you wrote the paper or not is irrelevant. Please see WP:Original Research. Wikipedia editors quote what is in papers not the personal opinions of Wikipedia users who claim to be scientists. Wikipedia content is not dictated from on high. Secondly, the paper claims a 19% drop in brightness and that is what is in the article. Thirdly, if you revert again you will be engaging in edit warring which could result in temporary or permanent bans on editing of certain pages or all of wikipedia depending on the behavior. Do not revert, engage in discussion on the relevant talk page. See and understand Wikipedia's "BOLD, revert, discuss cycle". You made a bold edit, I reverted it, now it is incumbent upon you to make clear the problems with that revert in discussion. The discussion should happen over at the talk page of the article. I WILL revert again, if you revert my revert without discussion, and then report you for edit warring. Ergzay (talk) 22:58, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I made the same mistake my first-time editing in Wikipedia. I thought being an area expert meant that I was uniquely qualified to insist certain edits be made. ut, that's not how Wikipedia works. Anyone can claim to be an expert and there's no way to know for sure you are who you say you ;re, therefore the policy is to back up any facts with reliable citatio Use your expertise to find the mistakes and find the relevant citations. ns.War (talk) 05:51, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Space X Launches at SPI

I cited a more recent source in the SPI page for rocket launches, as the one I cited earlier was outdated and frankly a bit bleak. You seem to literally be a rocket scientist or enthusiast, if I'm deducting properly? Thanks for your edit and comments. 162.198.97.65 (talk) 16:04, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think your new edit is better, but it reads too much like an tourism advertisement. Rather than quoting I think it should be reworded. Ergzay (talk) 18:45, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
