Updates to Address Need for Citations

[edit]

I have started making some updates to address the need for additional citations. Looking at the edit history, it appears that most of this page was written by @Marcpostman in 2007, who acknowledged being an employee of STSI. I do not think there are any significant inaccuracies in the content as it stands today, but there is a need to ensure the information is verifiable from external sources.

Updates Needed to Correct Inaccuracies and Bring Content Up-to-Date

[edit]

While much of the content on this page is essentially still valid, it appears that large portions need updating. As an employee of STScI, I hesitate to make all of these changes directly, but am happy to collaborate with someone.

In the interest of keeping things accurate, I have made a few changes directly. These were made on October 21, and include: - Adding reference to STScI's role in science operations for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope - Updating reference to the Mikulski Archives for Space Telescopes (MAST) - Updating description of activities undertaken by STScI's Office of Public Outreach. (OPO supports informal science education, but no longer develops materials specifically for formal K-12 education.)

If you'd like to continue with updates and references, official sources of information on STScI activities can be found here:

Running List of Revisions to be made: - Institute logo is out of date. See https://www.stsci.edu/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sifadogash (talkcontribs) 15:14, 2 December 2021 (UTC) Hi Sifadogash, what I'm going to do is create a sandbox page at User:Sifadogash/Sandbox with the article, where you can make changes directly, then propose them section-by-section here for clarity. Please note that for sources, Wikipedia:Independent sources are important (see link for more info), and thus I request that non-STScI sources be used for information that you would be including in the article. I have marked your request as answered, and once you have changes to propose please remove the "|A" in the {{request edit}} template. Best, SpencerT•C 06:07, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
