Talk:Mercury-Redstone 3
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An anonymous user first moved this (Freedom 7) here from Mercury 3; I only re-moved it such that the edit history would be preserved. Where should it be at? -- Grunt ҈ 21:29, 2004 Sep 24 (UTC)
- Should be at Mercury 3, with Freedom 7 as a redirect to Mercury 3. Also, redirects should be made for all the call signs to point to their respective Mercury missions. CryptoDerk 21:31, Sep 24, 2004 (UTC)
- Mercury 3. The article encompasses the whole mission, not just the spacecraft. Deleted revision history shows that Freedom 7 was previously a redirect to Mercury 3. -- Cyrius|✎ 21:36, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I've reverted it to keep with naming conventions. --GW_Simulations 19:26, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
On a completely unrelated note, these articles are not structured very well. -- Cyrius|✎ 21:40, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] There's another problem with Mercury Missions on Wikipedia
The Mercury flight articles are misnamed on Wikipedia. Mission names like "Mercury 3" don't coorespond with how the missions were named by NASA and are ambiguous. There were several sub-projects under Project Mercury, each with their own numbering sequences. For example, there were both MR-3 (Mercury Redstone 3), and MA-3 (Mercury Atlas 3) flights. see my comment on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Space missions#Mercury Mission Numbering.
My vote would be to rename the article on this mission/flight as Mercury Redstone 3
[edit] Proposed Move
I have proposed that all Mercury missions are re-named. This will affect this page. So they can be discussed together on one page, I've set up a subpage of my user talk page for discussion of the moves. --GW_Simulations|User Page | Talk | Contribs | E-mail 20:35, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
