A few dozen space launch articles need date fixes

A few dozen space launch (sorry if I'm not using the correct term) articles have had invalid dates in the {{start date}} template for a while. That template has been updated to detect invalid dates and invalid parameters. The articles will need an easy fix like this one: use three parameters for the date, remove the invalid |timezone=, and move the time outside of the template. The articles are listed on the error category page, under "T" (for timezone). – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:15, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

Note that the template does support also the time (in HH|MM|SS). Gonnym (talk) 15:31, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

I believe I have resolved all of the remaining errors on spaceflight related pages. RickyCourtney (talk) 01:01, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Robert H Smith, former CEO Blue Origin

Working on a draft for Smith and could really use contributors. I have a good start but I am unsure what else to include. His involvement in Blue Origin seems to merit some background in his career on Wiki. Draft:Robert H. Smith Desertroseflora (talk) 17:04, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Scott Carpenter

Scott Carpenter is up for review at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Scott Carpenter/archive1. He was one of the original Mercury Seven astronauts chosen in 1959, back when American rockets always blew up. He was the second American (after John Glenn) to orbit the Earth and the fourth American to fly in space, after Alan Shepard, Gus Grissom and John Glenn. His name was once a household word, but the glory days of the American space program are now but a distant memory. If anybody from the project could drop by with a review, that would be greatly appreciated. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 18:08, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
