Comments[edit]

It's very welcome to see a scrappy and almost-uncited cruftlist turn into a compact, solidly-cited, informative, and readable article. I have very few comments to make.

Spotchecks are fine.

"throughout the 1800s" normally means "from 1800 to 1809" in many variants of English, so "throughout the 19th century" would be clearer.

"A commonality among early works about Uranus was the implicit—and incorrect—assumption" would be better (shorter, simpler) as "Many early works incorrectly assumed".

The last 2 sentences in "Moons" both begin "MOON was discovered in YEAR and appears in". Possibly reword a little. The second instance actually reads as a non sequitur as the date is 1787 and the associated game appeared in 2009, so perhaps this is the sentence to reword.

The images are correctly licensed. The imagemap works well as a navigation device.

Non-GA matters[edit]

I note the rather heavy sprinkling of redlinks. These are not forbidden but unless there is a plausible hope they will soon turn blue, it's not an ideal practice. For example, short stories written many years ago are a priori relatively minor subjects unlikely to receive editorial attention. If the set of redlinks exists for nom's personal use, the approved technique is a private list or template in user-space.

Summary[edit]

This is an excellent short article and I look forward to seeing it as a GA shortly. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:08, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations on another excellent GA. I hope you'll take the time to pick something from the ever-growing GAN pile to review! Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:10, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
