Changed my mind. The three-quarter image is a better match with the rest of the images. The only outlier is Edgar Mitchell. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:13, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Any of the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal images should have the scanner credited (e.g., but not limited to, File:Stuart Allen Roosa.jpg)
No idea what to do here. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 12:03, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It is a pain in the ass. I wish the uploaders would take care of it. I look in the URL to see what Apollo mission it should be under, which is A14. I navigate to the main journal page, then click Image Library. Then I search for the ID number. In this case, nothing comes up (great!). For some reason the Apollo Archive hosts its images on ALSJ as well. So I go to their image search, put in the ID number, and this time something comes up. In the left column, it says J.L. Pickering, and since they request scanning credit, I add that (and how to find the image, since the filepage should be linked, not a hotlink to the image). You can imagine my frustration after that five-ten minutes of work, when all someone had to do was copy/paste the scanner when they uploaded it :). Could you do the rest of the surface journal images? It is a pain, and I am not sure if we legally have to do it, but they request they be credited as the scanner, and with all the work they have done to provide higher quality images of the Apollo program I figure it is the least I can do.

Licensing and all that is fine
The descriptions on the file pages are pretty bad/non-existent for most of the images, but that would be going above and beyond for GA (and FA I suppose), but you are free to do it if you have the gumption
Do you think Worden looks a bit like Mike Rowe?
I'd never heard of Mike Rowe before, but I can see the resemblance. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 03:06, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You have the dates on the NASA sources in this article, although you said in the other review they are not needed. It does not have to be consistent between articles, just pointing it out in case you forgot to remove them here

I'm usually pretty forgiving on page ranges, but can you at least break it up to five pages? Would prefer three pages max (depending on the situation, like if there are images etc), just to make verifying information easier Shayler & Burgess 2007, pp. 101–111.
