No training photo?
Y Added one. Since the Nextr Nine article has a pic of survival training, I decided to go with one of geology training. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:17, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And what I said was that I don't like editing Commons. Added. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:30, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Can you add a description, date, etc to File:RichardFGordon.jpg? I'm sure that is more than a GA requires, but while we are here..

Y Added. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:17, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe add an image to the background section per my same comment at the group 2 article

That's it for images for now Kees08 (Talk) 02:11, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Change inches to feet and inches, and don't metric users measure height by meters? 70.1 inches (1,780 mm), compared with 69.79 inches (1,773 mm)
Metric users quote their heights in centimetres (I'm 178 cm). Adjusted the conversion. The original source is in inches rather than feet and inches. Similarly, weights are quoted in pounds with a decimal rather than stones and pounds, which was the norm with the old measurements. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 23:56, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's a hell of a sentence, recommend breaking it up While six of the Nine had bachelor's degrees, and three had master's degrees, only seven of the Fourteen had only bachelor's degree, and three of them were working on their master's, six had master's degrees, and Cunningham was working on his doctorate, and Buzz Aldrin had a Doctor of Science degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Should African American be hyphenated here? African American astronaut candidate
I guess so. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:45, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

They are capitalised in Astronaut ranks and positions. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:45, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It should be changed there to lower case as well. Our style guide trumps source usage and other style guides. NASA's style guide has them capitalized, but we follow our own guide and not theirs. Kees08 (Talk) 23:22, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Did Apollo 2 become Apollo 7? Also, not sure you need to mention prime crew, that should be the default. Is the order right, selected for Apollo 2 then Apollo 1? He was selected as lunar module pilot in the prime crew for Apollo 2, and then the backup crew for Apollo 1.
The mission (a reprise of Apollo 7) was cancelled and the Apollo 2 crew became the backup crew for Apollo 1, then the prime crew for Apollo 7. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 23:56, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Could add the dates for all the NASA biographies
Don't see the benefit, given that we have the archive date. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 23:56, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sources are reliable

I think it just needs the capital letters issue, such as He was selected as Pilot for Gemini 9, fixed prior to promotion. Kees08 (Talk) 00:19, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

All done. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 01:38, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

NASA Astronaut Group 3 - 'The Fourteen' - 7 were Air Force, 4 were Navy, and three others[edit]
