AM (talk) 14:59, 14 July 2008 (UTC) Could someone please provide more detail as to what needs to be "cleaned up"? I'd be happy to do it, but not sure what's being referred to. There are links to sources for each of the spinoffs mentioned, back to the original Spinoff article. I can provide additional links to other NASA documents about those technologies, but I'm not sure if that's what you are looking for. Specific suggestions instead of just "citations needed" would be helpful.

If you aren't involved with Spinoff or NASA in some way, it would be great if you could discuss concerns here before making lots of changes. Thanks, everyone.
- The clean-up tag was added by me and mainly because of the use of external links. As a rule, external links should be added into separate "External links" section at the end of the article. Linking article text with external websites is not usually acceptable. For more information, please see WP:External links.
- Concerning citations, all articles require inline citations for direct quotes and for material that is likely to be challenged. Right no the article doesn't have correct inline references. Please see WP:Citing sources for more information. To create inline references, you could use special templates like Template:Citation or Template:Cite web.
- Third issue is related to the sources. The article lays mainly on the information from the NASA website. There is nothing wrong with using it, but articles need also third-party published sources. For this policy, please see WP:V.
- In general, I think this is a good article. Keep going. Beagel (talk) 16:34, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
AM (talk) 19:24, 14 July 2008 (UTC) Ok, thanks... but why were the computer tech titles removed? It's more confusing without the titles, in my opinion, as those were actually three separate software products, not one general section about computer tech spinoffs. I provided the external links at the end of each technology to link to more details on the NASA spinoff page. I'll see what I can do in terms of reworking the links, but it seems more clear the way it is (rather than having superscript footnotes.) Still... I'll keep tweaking it.
