I have contributed to the articles on

Astrodynamics, now merged into Orbital mechanics

At the moment (since 2022-07-16) am working on a page for 2nd Lt William McGowan, who the family interred at the Normandy American Cemetery on 2022-07-09. At the risk of sounding like "sour grapes", the page has been rejected for it does not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. I object, since the first reference to Archaeology magazine is substantially about Bill's service to his country over France on D-Day. I believe it is both independent and reliable. I'm in the process of getting help to make a suitable rebuttal.

I once planned to craft a page for Angelo Miele, who is listed on pages for having won the American Astronautical Society's Dirk Brouwer Award, and also for his leadership in Trajectory optimization. (Another award, also named for Dirk Brouwer is given by the American Astronomical Society. It is given as the Brouwer Award (Division on Dynamical Astronomy)).
