Yo Anir1uph, this article currently says:
| Quote from the article |
|---|
| ″..yet to be integrated into NMD may include anti-ballistic missiles, or sea-based, space-based, laser, and high altitude missile systems. The NMD program is limited in scope and designed to counter a relatively small ICBM attack from a less sophisticated adversary. Unlike the earlier Strategic Defense Initiative program, it is not designed to be a robust shield against a large attack from a technically sophisticated adversary.
As of 2012, this system is operational with limited capability. In early April 2013, the Pentagon deployed 14 missile interceptors to Guam in response to the North Korean threats to deliver nuclear weapons to the United States.[citation needed]″ |
Now, do we have a reliable source for this claim? Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 13:11, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
- Hey, the first part can be sourced from this or from one of the many references in United States national missile defense. The second statement can be sourced from here or here. I hope this helps!

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
- Views/Day
- Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
- Quality
- Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
- Content
- Is more content needed?
- Headings
- Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
- Images
- Is the number of illustrative images about right?
- Links
- Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
- Sources
- For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?

| For regularly updating the operational services of the Indian Navy ships.....Great work! :) Strike Σagle 08:25, 3 June 2013 (UTC) |
- In case you don't know....INS Shivalik and Arihant class are GAs now....with the latter being the first South Asian military vessel GA ever... :) Strike Σagle 08:27, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks! :) Anir1uph | talk | contrib 11:37, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
INS Shakti (A57)
Has passed under the GA criteria, congratulations. Darkness Shines (talk) 09:54, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

- Let's get your proud article to GA now...... ;) will get to lead expansion in the last... TheStrike Σagle 10:19, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
- Hahahah, oh you read that! :) I am proud of that one for finding a lot of sources, which was quite difficult. There are still gaps in service history, which i guess are cz of the ship's refitting and maintenance, but I don't have a reference for that. Or may be I haven't looked hard enough. And thanks for the help :) Anir1uph | talk | contrib 10:29, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
- Oh yes, it's greatly sourced but the absence of some years in between is the only thing that concerns me...else it's a piece of cake.. ;) It's not yours or my mistake..the govt keeps many navy matters very confidential.. For example...... you have used every source available..so..let's hope it doesn't become a problem in GAN.. :) TheStrike Σagle 10:38, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
- Further, interest in defence matters, and deployments, specially in the navy was quite low then. Its only recently that the media is paying attention. Anir1uph | talk | contrib 10:43, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
