Since SandyGeorgia noticed this article in 2020, there has been limited engagment and the concerns outlined above still remain. Is anyone interested in working on this article? Z1720 (talk) 21:44, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I installed it and now I see 10 instances of "There is no link pointing to this citation". They don't show up for normal users and don't cause any other trouble, so I'm willing to treat them as benign. Stepho talk03:49, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In Further reading, they are fixed by adding a |ref=none parameter to the citation template, as they aren't intended to be used as refs. (Or by moving Further reading out of the references section, which I have now done.) In the Bibliography section, however, they are not benign; they indicate sources that are not used but are listed as having been used. Why? Were they used in the promoted version, and then text got deleted? Were they never used? If never used, why not? Is the article comprehensive with so many unused sources. Are the sources useful? Should they be listed in Further reading? Resolution of these questions goes to the core of whether the article is a comprehensive FA. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 10:11, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
And this article (added to Further reading after the FA was promoted) suggests some missing content. Another indication a better look at the sourcing is needed, as well as a comprehensive search for newer scholarly sources. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 10:23, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Stepho-wrs: are you interested in addressing Sandy's concerns above? Can some sources that were not used as inline citations be incorporated into the article? Z1720 (talk) 01:49, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As a non-expert, I'm a bit suprised Sagan is only cited three times. The chapter on this incident in Sagan's book is over 40 pages long; while about half of that is background to the incident, it still seems odd how little Sagan is used, especially given that two of the usages of Sagan are for the aftermath material. This one might need FAR after all. Hog FarmTalk03:22, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hawkeye7 has cleaned up the uncited text and the reference formatting has been resolved. At least on my screen, the image layout does not appear to be particularly bad. There is one brief use of an unreliable ref (Global Security) but from a quick look this can probably be removed from the FAR needed list. As to the usage of Sagan, there is a fairly wide range of sources used here and as I am not a subject-matter expert I will defer to the source usage choices by the nominators.
