Notes[edit]
- Focus: the article spends a lot of prose (in my opinion, too much) delving into the specifics of the GRAB mission
- Broadness: can you add more about the importance of the mission?
For now, this review is on hold --DannyS712 (talk) 04:40, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
- Firstly, thanks for coming on board! On hold is probably a good place for this article for the moment pending the completion of my FA for SOLRAD 1. I'll be updating this article with lessons learned.
- To address your first point, which part do you feel focuses too much on the GRAB mission? (funnily enough, on my SOLRAD 1 review, one of the reviewers insist I put MORE about GRAB in there, a suggestion I am resisting.
- I'm not sure what more to say about the importance of the mission beyond what's in the lede -- SOLRAD 3 furthered our store of solar observation data, but more critically, the GRAB component returned so much useful data (once Kennedy took the brakes off the program) that new analysis techniques were developed to process it. Do you have suggestions?
- Thank you again! :) --Neopeius (talk) 03:55, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Neopeius: My concern is, if GRAB is the important part of the mission, given the focus on GRAB (I'd say ~1/4 of the article) it may make sense to either split that off or rename the article. There are separate results sections for each, the background has lots about GRAB, and its a short article overall. I hope this explains my concerns. --DannyS712 (talk) 04:05, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
- It's a thorny question. The spacecraft was developed with the GRAB mission in mind first, but for decades, only the civilian cover was known and written about. Thus, the two have taken on roughly equal importance. Nevertheless, SOLRAD 3/GRAB 2 is most commonly known by the civilian designation. Also, an argument for keeping things as is is that both SOLRAD 1 and SOLRAD 2 are Good Articles with the same format (and, in fact, I've designed the format to be modular for easy updating of the five satellite series).
- @DannyS712: The common name is the common name. :) Also, titling it a GRAB mission is problematic as there are five in the series, but only two got GRAB names -- another point in favor of keeping things under the SOLRAD heading. I've been consistent with calling the satellite SOLRAD 3/GRAB 2 in the article to avoid confusion (readers kept thinking SOLRAD 3 and GRAB 2 were separate spacecraft). But I'm happy to let things sit for a while; I have to update the article anyway. Perhaps you may come up with an elegant solution. Cheers! :) --Neopeius (talk) 04:47, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
