A fact from Blizna V-2 missile launch site appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 2 January 2017 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that in order to disguise the V-2 missile launch site in Blizna, the Nazis created an artificial village with plywood cottages and barns, and plaster people and animals?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2017/January. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/V-2 missile launch site, Blizna.

Text and/or other creative content from Blizna was copied or moved into V-2 missile launch site, Blizna. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

CE[edit]

Did quick ce while review pending, rv as desired, regards Keith-264 (talk) 19:48, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As a quick comment, there seems to be some over referencing as quite a few basic facts receive multiple references for no clear reason (eg, "An SS military base near Blizna was set up on 5 November 1943, from which 139 A4 (also known as V-2) rockets were launched for experimental purposes and for training.[3][11][5][6]", "worked at the Blizna test site and personally visited the test missile impact areas to troubleshoot any problems discovered during trials.[3][11][20][6][7][8][16]", etc). This makes the article look a bit dubious. Also, what makes "RussianSpaceWeb.Com" and "Polish Greatness.com" reliable sources that need to be used here? Some of the other references also seem to be enthusiast websites and the like. Nick-D (talk) 22:17, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nick-D I added all the available references when putting the article together in the knowledge that we would loose a few. They all tell slightly different stories, so will be useful in the expansion of the article. Many refs are in Polish. As it is a new article I don't think the large amount of refs is doing it any harm.
