Replace citation

[edit]

Citation no. 122, to a paragraph long vignette in "The Week", adds nothing, and poorly supports only a couple of the many facts in this paragraph. Moreover, its presence gives the false sense of fully adequate sourcing of the paragraph. This citation should be removed, as it was in the Sibrel article, and other citations there, notably, one from the St. Petersburg Times (and perhaps others there) should be used here in support of specific statements and facts in the paragraph. (If we did not have the "one source" guideline, having the bulk of this paragraph from a single source would be fine. But more is better, here, as long as more is not cursory and superficial, as in the case of citation no. 122.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.1.0.28 (talk) 22:10, July 21, 2019 (UTC)

Add to the Post-NASA activities section that Buzz Aldrin served on the board of directors at Mutual of Omaha from February 1970 until after the publication of Return to Earth (October 1973).

 Not done I can't trust biography.com and medium.com as a reliable source. Looking around for different sources, it seems that this fact is fairly undocumented. Coulomb1 (talk) 12:50, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Missing that he is of Swedish descent

[edit]

Without a doubt he is of Swedish descent. Not mentioned anywehere in the text. Not even a link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:American_people_of_Swedish_descent 62.220.164.46 (talk) 10:15, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Buzz + Space Mountain

[edit]

Perhaps trivial, but, in 2005 during Disneyland’s 50th Anniversary celebrations, Buzz Aldrin gave a speech and cut the ribbon on the newly refurbished “Space Mountain”. 75.106.32.81 (talk) 23:47, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
