Sources for payload mass?

[edit]

@UnknownM1: Thanks for inserting the payload masses into the table. What are the sources for this information? Some figures look very low: have you perhaps listed the "dry" masses instead of the "wet" masses when satellites are fully loaded with propellant ? — JFG talk 00:56, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, yes some of them are the dry masses. I can correct them where they are inaccurate. Most are either the only sourced mass for the launch or the addition of sourced masses. UnknownM1 (talk) 00:58, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:CALC, it's fine to add the masses of both satellites for dual launches, however both must be sourced. Also, we should always list wet masses, because that's what the rocket has to push… JFG talk 01:19, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of Ariane launches (2010–2019)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 17:21, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
