Advertising Mars One in Marspedia's Curiosity article

This is a nice little article but on a Marspedia website it should be about the subject, the Curiosity rover. Applications to Mars settlement are fine because that is what Marspedia is all about, but mention of Mars One over THE MARS SOCIETY is not proper content for an article on a website belonging to THE MARS SOCIETY, especially in the lead paragraph. You have already mentioned applications of findings to settlement, I will delete the mention of Mars One. There is already an article about Mars One.

Thanks for updating the featured article. I appreciate the work you are doing here on Marspedia very much. But the removal of that sentence irritates me. Does THE MARS SOCIETY really consider Mars One as a competitor? If so, they loose credit in my mind. The colonization of Mars is a humanity effort. And, frankly, I do not see THE MARS SOCIETY achieving this alone. So, what is wrong about mentioning other projects here on Marspedia? What is wrong about linking the parts together? A few weeks ago I have contacted Mars One per E-Mail in order to ask them to include Marspedia on their Resources Page, which they promised to consider. Obviously, they still have not included it. Why? Perhaps, they feel that Marspedia is not really alive (with scarcely more than two people working on it). Perhaps, they feel that some important contemporary developments on the topic are not addressed as they deserve. Personally, I feel it is right to give them every support. -- Rfc 09:54, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
