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)
@Seddon: Can you address the concerns? BorgQueen (talk) 10:08, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
@BorgQueen: sorry for the holdup. Will work on this today. Seddontalk 12:03, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
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. Seddontalk 01:24, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
@Alessandro57 and BorgQueen: Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I could have sworn that Seddon already had at least five nominations and thus needs a QPQ (unless I'm confusing him with someone else). The QPQ checker is down at the moment so I can't verify though. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 07:37, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
@Narutolovehinata5: No, the QPQ checker gave 0 nominations to me. I will answer to the other issues this evening (UTC+2). Alex2006 (talk) 07:56, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
@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)
@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. Seddontalk 00:25, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
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)
