[edit] Box problem
The tech-data box is overlapping the Launch Log table. Is there any way to fix this (aside from the obvious of adding more to the article...)? - Aerobird 02:29, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Very Indian
Can someone shed some light on how much of the PSLV was developed, manufactured and designed in India?
[edit] Where is the fourth stage?
I see three stages plus the strapon solid fuel boosters on the first stage mentioned. Are those strapons the fourth stage? -- KarlHallowell 19:31, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- The strap motors are to boost the first stage, and not an additional stage. Of the six strap ons four ignite on launch and the remaining two later in flight.--PremKudvaTalk 04:42, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Infobox picture resizing problem
The picture in the infobox is resized to 280px width as defined in Template:Infobox Four Stage Launch Vehicle, but it should stay at its original (small) size of 200px width to prevent a 'pixel' look. Usually this works properly as described in Wikipedia:Extended image syntax#Size: If the image is already smaller than your specified value, the image stays at its size. Any idea why it doesn't work? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.159.248.44 (talk) 12:09, 23 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Infobox
I have listed the page's current infobox () at WP:TFD. If it is deleted, I have prepared code for which can be used in its place:

Just copy it in over the code that exists, if/when the template is deleted. --GW_SimulationsUser Page | Talk 23:10, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Need images
Someone has marked the only image used in the article as a candidate for deletion from the Wikimedia Commons. But good images are extremely important for good articles! Could someone please find an image of the PSLV that is used in the publicity material of ISRO, and upload it to en.wikipedia.org as a "fair use" image? Ideally, at least one photo and one drawing would be good. Thanks! (Sdsds - Talk) 21:59, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:PSLV-CA 1.jpg
Image:PSLV-CA 1.jpg 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.

[edit] Foreign payloads table removed
I removed the Foreign payloads table as I included all the necessary information (i.e. country flagicons) in the Launch log table. Hope it's acceptable, if not, please discuss it here rather than having a revert war. Thanks. S3000 ☎ 10:58, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
