Restored reference links to Encyclopedia Astronautica

The reference links to Encyclopedia Astronautica (deleted by @Ilenart626 in August 2022 as "unreliable") were restored because the RfC for the reliability of Encyclopedia Astronautica concluded that "there appears to be a consensus that this is a valuable resource". So far no specific errors were addressed for the items linked to this article. SchmiAlf (talk) 10:15, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@SchmiAlf has misrepresented the rfc, which concluded “There appears to be a consensus that this is a valuable resource, but which lacks editorial oversight, contains errors and is no longer updated…caution needs to taken in using the source.” The rfc found that no consensus, unclear, or additional considerations apply on the reliability of the site, which includes “It may be necessary to evaluate each use of the source on a case-by-case basis while accounting for specific factors unique to the source in question.” Given the issues with this source I am reverting SchmiAlf's change pending consensus for inclusion.Ilenart626 (talk) 12:04, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Israel “known” to have ICBMs?

Is Israel really “known” to have operational ICBMs? The lead contains a list of countries which are “known to possess operational ICBMs.” If so, I feel like there should be a citation next to Israel’s name on the list as Israel has repeatedly declined to comment on whether or not they possess any nuclear weapons and the whole program remains a secret.
