  • I don't really care at all, but what do you think about the first astronaut group article being named Mercury Seven, and the rest are NASA Astronaut Group N? Should this be moved to Next Nine or equivalent? I again don't care, at least wanted to document that it was thought about.
    I think it is fairly regular. While nearly every group has a name, only the Mercury Seven are generally known by it. So it conforms to WP:COMMONNAME. Indeed, they are the only group that is generally known at all, despite the greater fame today of Armstrong and Aldrin. On the one hand, the Mercury Seven were selected only for Project Mercury, and it was known even then that subsequent programs would require more astronauts. On the other, Project Apollo was not authorised until 1961, and there is no evidence of the Mercury astronauts being referred to as the first group until the selection process for the Next Nine got underway.

  • Did some minor improvements like adding ID number templates, and slightly larger edits like this one. Faster than telling you to do it I think.
  • I suppose the portraits should have personality rights warnings on them
    Not for US Federal government images. Hawkeye7 (discuss)
    See fourth and fifth bullet points. Astronauts have sued over it in the past. Kees08 (Talk) 17:56, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Very well, added, but I don't normally make changes on Commons. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 11:32, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can you upload this higher res version of Stafford?
    Uploaded. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:40, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Would an image of Sputnik and/or an image of Kennedy giving his famous speech be appropriate for the background section? Seems like we could put something there.
    Added a pic of JFK. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:40, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
