Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency was a good article nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. Reviewed version: April 18, 2007

[edit] mislead about satellites

i believe the [previous, pre-merger] space organization/apparatus in japan has had satellite-launch capabilities for several decades. the first paragraph of the wiki is pretty misleading in that it mentions that JAXA has 'already launched its first satellite.' which is just a bureacratic landmark, not a landmark in their space program. but it seems to imply that japan hasn't launched satellites into orbit before.

The article states:

Development of the M-5 rocket was lobbied for by right-wing politicians, because of its possible military applications. [1]

Is there a source for this? --219.110.187.45 16:45, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Usage of images from JAXA

Does everyone agree with me that the usage of JAXA images is okay considering the JAXA policy? JAXA permits the use of JAXA texts, drawings, imagery, sounds, pictures and other materials if the purpose of the use is approved as for education, public relations, or information providing, or if the use is within the scope of relevant laws. In such cases, insertion of credits is required for used texts, drawings, imagery, sounds, pictures and other materials.--212.183.37.8 01:12, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Actually I don't know. If you can suggest a valid category for use it would help. Why don't you check the Wikipedia categories for using images and see which one these images might fit? --DannyWilde 02:20, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

There is no category for JAXA images. There's one for NASA, and so far there are no images actually from JAXA anywhere on Wikipedia, just those that appear on NASA websites.--Planetary 01:41, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Sadly, the usage of the JAXA images are not okay. Note: "Your use of the Materials for business or commercial purposes without the prior permission of the copyright holder (JAXA) is strictly prohibited." That doesn't qualify as a free license. Strictly speaking, JAXA images from the NASA websites aren't OK either, if JAXA holds the copyright to it. --朝彦 (Asahiko) 07:07, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Major Overhaul

This article needed some major cleanup, as it faced major flow and grammar issues. I hope that I have improved it. In, the process, I removed the controversies section, as the reference was broken. If someone wants to put that back in, that's fine, but don't do it by reverting, as you will remove my hard work on the rest of the article. The controversy over the m-5 rocket's alleged military uses is discussed in the m-5 article, however. Does it need to be in the JAXA article? Colby 07:49, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] False link

I removed a link to NeXT, as the wikipedia article with this title refers to a now defunct software company, and not the mission of the same name. I hope this is all right.

[edit] Failing GA

I have removed this article from the Good Article candidates page for the following reasons:

• Lead is too short. See WP:LEAD.
• This article is not nearly well enough sourced. It's only got 2 inline citations and four direct links (which should be converted). There are plenty of claims made in the article that should be sourced and aren't.
• Certain portions of the article are not well written. Many sentences are short and/or fragmentary. (e.g. "Whole mission time is around 3 months." and "First launch, GCOM-W is scheduled for 2010 with the H-2A.")
• The article is not well organized. It has very many short sections, which should either be expanded to give a more robust picture of each mission, or combined. (I recommend the former; it seems there is much more that could be said about this agency that is yet to be covered.)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:JAXAlogo.png

Image:JAXAlogo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
