Talk:Heavy Lift Delta IV Rocket Launches

Regarding User:Tomos's edit summary (...existing article... what should we do...). I don't see anything wrong with multiple articles on the Delta 4.

I wrote the other Delta 4 article (Delta 4 Heavy rocket poised for maiden launch) and intended to link it up on the eve of each scheduled launch. I'll plan on removing the links (in the technology section etc... after launch). Hopefully this article will be ready to supplant the first one soon. (looks like it will).

This story needs to be pulled. Rampant plagarism...
Hmmm.... Verbatim text copies from various Internet sources and not acknowledged. This is bad.

I suspect that there are more than these three examples. I'll leave the discussion about how to prevent this for later.

(I'm reading docs on how to kill this story...)

 * If I decide to rewrite/edit/improve this article, could it be removed from the deletion requests? I need to know!

I rewrote entire article using the three references quoted on the page, needs to be duly edited of course though.
