The Passive Seismic Experiment Package on the Moon.
The Passive Seismic Experiment Package on the Moon.

Created by Seddon (talk). Self-nominated at 02:38, 17 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Passive Seismic Experiment Package; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Interesting article about an experiment performed by the Apollo 11 astronauts. However, there are a few problems:

  • First of all, the article requires some copyediting.
  • One question: are you sure the sources are talking about "asteroid" impacts? Aren't they by any chance meteroids?
  • There is mention of six types of events recorded by the experiment, but then only two are described. What about the others? For sake of completeness, I would introduce a short mention about the other four.
  • Regarding the hook, it talks about "trash", but there is actually no mention of that in the article, only about items thrown from the LEM. To call them "trash" one needs to explain why they were thrown out.
  • Also, the hook recites that it is "one of the first instances of humans"... Why one of the first? Did anyone else throw trash on the moon or elsewhere before Apollo11? Alex2006 (talk) 07:06, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Seddon: Can you address the concerns? BorgQueen (talk) 10:08, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Meteoroid terminology
  • Added some information about the other signal types.
  • The last point feels a little challenging to resolve by adding and so I am thinking maybe some alt hooks might be useful here. Will have a think but also welcome any suggestions
I'll take a look at improving the information around "trash". There are a fair few popsci articles and a couple of academic articles that discuss the topic of rubbish on the moon. Seddon talk 01:24, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. @Alessandro57: Good enough now? BorgQueen (talk) 01:37, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@BorgQueen and Seddon:, not yet: the article still needs copyediting, and we have the problem of the hook. The other two points have been solved. Alex2006 (talk) 15:34, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Narutolovehinata5: you are right, I need to do a QPQ. Will sort that out. I've done a bit of a copyedit and made some additional changes to support the original hook and also provided some variants. Seddon talk 00:25, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo @Seddon:, and thanks for addressing my concerns. About the QPQ I don't understand, I am continuing to receive 0. Regarding the hooks, my preference goes to ALT1. For me the article now it's Good to go! ApprovedAlex2006 (talk) 18:56, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia’s string of poorly written DYKs continues

[edit]

What is this DYK even supposed to mean? What does record even mean in this instance? Who writes these? Who approves these? Terrible. Between generally boring and poorly phrased DYKs and that one day everything was about the coronation of British monarchs (like this site isn’t supposed to have at least some nominal claim to neutrality), this website is losing it. 100.40.62.139 (talk) 15:20, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How to get this entry into the search/disambiguation results?

[edit]

I am a novice editor and this feels above my pay grade. When I searched from the front page for "PSEP" the only result was for Public Safety Canada and the disambiguation page only had the one entry. https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=PSEP&redirect=no

Another experiment left on the surface was the LRRR or Laser Ranging Retroreflector whose page I found via the disambiguation page when I searched from the front page for "LRRR".

I thought that if I was able to get to a disambiguation page for PSEP not knowing what it stood for, I should also be able to get to a disambiguation page for LRRR not knowing what it stands for.

I would make this change if I had the slightest idea how, but - as I said - it feels like something an advanced user or higher-up should look into and maybe fix.

Thank you and my apologies if this isn't even close to the right place to post this... AreThree (talk) 07:35, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
