  • The article has only 845 prose characters; is it going to expanded more? Chris857 (talk) 02:19, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Crap, I didn't do my maths very well - give me a couple of days and will expand. Gotta do some RL stuff right now. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 23:18, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
  • OK then,
  • at 1670 characters prose
  • recently, newly written
  • Cited inline to reputable sources
  • Image is PD NASA/ESA
  • Hook is brief, and verified, and interesting to me
  • QPQ satisfied
  • Issues and suggestions (may not all be critical to passing):
  • The EL points at a NASA shutdown notice; do you know the intended URL (since the shutdown is over)?
I ditched it as I don't think it will add more than the sources Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:28, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
  • I'd a like a source on the detection sentence, and preferably that section merged into the other paragraphs, or better sectioning employed
I am not sure about it -will read and sprinkle through the prose Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:28, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
  • A pass over ref formatting would be appreciated (I took a stab already), but for example, is that how SIMBAD is usually cited?
I was lazy or rushed for time (one of the two) - fixed now Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:28, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

This source (already in article) mentions that it was observed using Hubble. Also, do you want to mention that the report about water appeared in Science? Anyway, I see no blockers to this passing (and these two are just suggestions). Chris857 (talk) 22:28, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
added the hubble bit - not sure that adding Science is necessary. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:17, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
Alright, all my concerns are addressed. Chris857 (talk) 14:57, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
