Hi there, I'll be reviewing this article. I'll check it against the criteria and list some concerns that need to be met as well as a few of my suggestions that will be optional. Those two types of comments will be clearly separated from one another. Let's get to it! Icebob99 (talk) 15:40, 21 December 2016 (UTC) I should also note that I may make some of the changes myself. No need to list trivial improvements.[reply]

GA criteria concerns

[edit]
  • Last sentence of the lead: perhaps replace the word "endless" with the word "many". Per WP:MoS/Words to watch in GA criteria

Suggestions

[edit]
  • Last sentence of the "in science" section about space colonies relying on plants: I suggest rewording to say something along the lines of "NASA predicts that ... may sustain..." instead of leaving in the general "this may happen"
  • The middle of the first paragraph of the "in art" section: not necessary for GA status, but I suggest adding a reference for the material about Virgin Mary compared to a lily. Nice to have a reference for that sort of thing.

Alright, that finishes my concerns and suggestions. I'm fixing the one GA criteria concern myself; it would be petty to make someone else fix it. Going through the criteria one by one:

  1. Well written: A+ on this mark. Well wikilinked as well
  2. All the references check out. Only thing lacking was Virgin Mary comparison as mentioned in suggestions, but that isn't a criterion for GA.
  3. Good broad coverage. Comprehensive but not overly detailed.
  4. Good neutrality. See the one word choice concern above.
  5. Lots of images!

Closing commentary: I think this is an obvious pass. I fixed the one issue. Well-written article: I suggest taking this to FA pretty soon. Maybe add some more content just as a perfunctory measure between GA and FA, but that isn't required. Congratulations! This officially passes. Icebob99 (talk) 16:02, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's very kind of you! I'll follow up suggestions when back at base. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:42, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
