removed improve template

This page had an improve template at the top from 2009. Condemning a whole page is reasonable if the entire page is lousy, but I prefer to see more specific criticism as these general "FAIL" accusations don't give an editor a specific target to attack.

Instead please use one of the templates that points out a specific issue and place it exactly where the issue needs to be addressed.

Thanks. Jjk (talk) 16:25, 22 December 2013 (UTC)adressed[reply]

Hi, there's a part that says "he was also very gay" which was clearly meant to be trolling. For some stupid reason I'm banned from editing, so could someone fix this? Stinkycat82 (talk) 20:37, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ronald mcnair religion

Ronald mcnair was most likely a Christian not Baha’i as stated in the article Because quoting his memorial: I do not profess to be a preacher nor one possessing profound knowledge or insight, but I do claim to be a Christian and I do know that the God we serve has a strange way of using anybody or anything to convey his message Also this New York Times article details his church history this Washington post article talks about his funeral at Wesley United Methodist Church 2001:569:57A1:2E00:6121:FDFE:3177:B4A3 (talk) 05:08, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
