Thank you for the work you're doing on the ICBM page, it's very helpful. One thing I noticed though was that you had tried to add a comment (about Agni-V range) but then self-reverted it with an edit summary saying you didn't know how comments work. Just wanted to point out, it looks like you actually did make that comment correctly. The format you used with the <!-- text --> is what's called an "invisible comment" and while we try to use them sparingly, they're perfectly acceptable to use and the case in which you added it (to indicate to someone actively editing the page, as opposed to a mere reader) was totally appropriate. So, if you had self-reverted because an invisible comment wasn't your intention, OK, but just wanted to let you know for future use that *technically* you actually did it right. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 20:14, 5 February 2026 (UTC)

when i was reading it it looked like it was obscuring/deleting page text, so i reverted. Flipkick25 (talk) 20:16, 5 February 2026 (UTC)

Oh, I see -- that's because you included the range part within the invisible comment, so that part got hidden too. So don't wrap the hidden comment *around* the text it's referring to, just add it either before or after, and you should be fine! ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 20:37, 5 February 2026 (UTC)

While I have you on the line, how do you feel about my talk page suggestion for partial restructure? Flipkick25 (talk) 20:44, 5 February 2026 (UTC)

additional comment, many SLBMs are ICBMs UGM-133 Trident II so the article wasn't 'wrong' previously.

speaking of let me go look at the SLBM page, I bet it has a lot of the same issues Flipkick25 (talk) 21:03, 5 February 2026 (UTC)

It wasn't "wrong" so much as conflating separate things. As worded, the sentence said "striking targets many thousands of kilometers away from the launch site (and due to the possible locations of the submarines: anywhere in the world) within approximately 30 minutes." The problem was that this was trying to say three different things at once. It's true that both SLBMs and ground-ICBMs can strike targets many thousands of km away from the launch site; however only ground-ICBMs are capable of striking "anywhere in the world" within 30 minutes -- and even then, only a subset can do this. Minuteman-III coverage excludes a large chunk of the South Pacific, including Australia and most of Antarctica. RS-28 coverage is very close to worldwide but has a small window around New Zealand, which is the antipole of its launch sites, that it cannot hit without a fractional-orbital trajectory. China has tested a boost-glide FOBS capable missile as well. Every other ballistic missile in existence has a lesser range than those. Further, SLBM ranges are quite limited in comparison; Trident II D5 has a 12,000km range, which leaves a generous portion of its antipole uncovered. It can of course move to a different launch point, but doing so would negate the third claim of the sentence, which is that it can hit anywhere in the world "within approximately 30 minutes". That 30 minutes is the flight time of the missile, it does not account for the travel time of the submarine necessary to reach the target. And compared to Trident (and the Ohio class) every other SLBM/sub combination is either shorter ranged, or slower to transit. So, it needed to be re-worded to not conflate separate concepts. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 03:00, 6 February 2026 (UTC)
