SpaceX Starship
As Starship is becoming more mainstream and known, the news on the topic has becoming more and more polarized. Therefore, Wikipedia plays an essential role on informing spaceflight-interested people to the information. This is probably the second cross-wiki collaboration about a specific article, after Climate change portal/climate denial review.
Tips and statistics[edit]
There is a choice on how to approach each language version. Should you (first) find somebody to help or remove it yourself? Some considerations:
- If you ask somebody else, they may continue watching the article
- Starship development evolves quickly, so waiting for local collaboration also has its downsides
- Messages on talk pages will likely go unanswered, so consider contacting a local admin or an SDG person.
- Find a local admin sorted by recent activity
- native speakers willing to translate
