These articles were started and initially maintained during the "wild enthusiasm" project stage, using sources that were heavily marketing-oriented. Our articles ended up with wildly optimistic projections that did not bear fruit. In the end, the real facts for each subject needed to include the demise of the project, but the original editors had lost interest in the articles. This is a form of systematic bias that is largely ignored. </p><p>As a curmudgeon, I spent a lot of time cleaning up <a href="/wiki/Itanium" title="Itanium">Itanium</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Zumwalt_class_destroyer" class="mw-redirect" title="Zumwalt class destroyer">Zumwalt class destroyer</a>, and I am now working on the <a href="/wiki/Space_Launch_System" title="Space Launch System">Space Launch System</a>. All three projects had extreme cost overruns, extreme underperformance, and extreme schedule slips. </p><p>The problem with curmudgeon editing is maintaining a neutral point of view. Making sure my edits are factual is easy. It is harder to make sure the resulting tone of the article moves from over-optimistic to objective, without becoming overly negative. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Itanium">Itanium</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Arch_dude&amp;action=edit&amp;section=2" title="Edit section: Itanium"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>I became interested in Itanium because I vividly remembered the hype when it was first announce by Intel and HP, well before Wikipedia was founded. This hype suppressed innovation in my professional field. When I started editing, the articles still included the hype and discussed how Itanium would dominate "real soon now", even though the press was paying more attention to the skeptics and the schedule had continued to slip. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Zumwalt">Zumwalt</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Arch_dude&amp;action=edit&amp;section=3" title="Edit section: Zumwalt"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>I became interested in <i>Zumwalt</i> as a taxpayer.

SLS is the latest iteration of NASA's effort to produce a follow-on to the space shuttle. SLS itself is now (2021) in its eleventh year, and has not yet launched, costing about $US 2 billion per year in development and with an estimated launch cost of $US 2 billion per launch and an estimated launch frequency of from 1 to 4 launches per year. As a taxpayer I am appalled. After 5 years of development, Starship will be more capable, reusable, was privately developed, and will have a per-launch cost as low as $US 2 million, which is 0.1% of the SLS launch cost. Even if the per-launch cost rises to $US 20 million, one SLS launch will cost as much as a hundred Starship launches. Dependence on NASA (and congress) has created a 50-year delay in humanity's access to space. </p><p>SLS is part of the larger <a href="/wiki/Artemis_program" title="Artemis program">Artemis program</a>. It appears that almost all aspects of the program are in disarray and in need of curmudgeon editing, removing peacock terms and adding objective descriptions of their current schedules. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="other_Wikis">other Wikis</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Arch_dude&amp;action=edit&amp;section=5" title="Edit section: other Wikis"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>Wikisource: <a href="https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/User:Arch_dude" class="extiw" title="s:User:Arch dude">s:User:Arch dude</a> (DNB work)</li> <li>Wikibooks: <a href="https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User:Arch_dude" class="extiw" title="b:User:Arch dude">b:User:Arch dude</a> (Blender work)</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="DNB">DNB</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Arch_dude&amp;action=edit&amp;section=6" title="Edit section: DNB"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>I needed an article from the <a href="/wiki/Dictionary_of_National_Biography" title="Dictionary of National Biography">Dictionary of National Biography</a>, so I went to Wikisource to find it and found the DNB project there to be non-existent, so I created the project as a place to keep my article source.
