    • I feel the key can be made into a table or something like that because the way it is now is sloppy in my eyes.  Done. Converted key into table. Skeet Shooter (talk) 04:00, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • In the Alumni for astronauts, periods aren't needed in the notable events column because most of the notes aren't complete sentences and just list missions with now other words.  Done. Skeet Shooter (talk) 12:42, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • I also agree with Matthew, because there is a great length of references, they should be in a separate column.--SRX 14:34, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

  • I'd still like to see the references in their own column, rather than in the "notable events" column. Reason being is that they aren't just referencing the events, they're also referencing the person. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 02:13, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Done. Skeet Shooter (talk) 03:04, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Matthew. I appreciate your review and comments. Likewise to SRX and the earlier reviewers. Skeet Shooter (talk) 13:16, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Excellent job and great work on responding to the comments, everything looks in top shape and meets the FL criteria, great work by the editor(s).SRX 13:40, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, SRX. I do appreciate all the constructive comments and suggestions. Skeet Shooter (talk) 02:22, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • Current ref 113 (Everest, F. ) needs a page number
 Not done. My intent was to provide a reference to verify Everest was the subject and co-author of The Fastest Man Alive, so the citation points to the entire book (no page numbers). This approach seems consistent with WP:CITE#Including page numbers, but if there is a another method, please let me know. Skeet Shooter (talk) 16:51, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"Page numbers within a book or article are not required when a citation is for a general description of a book or article"
  • Same for current refs 135 & 136 (Lopez, D.) and current refs 138, 139, 140, 141 (the Marrett books).
 Not done. Same rationale as above. Skeet Shooter (talk) 16:51, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Otherwise sources look good, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 15:37, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I had not seen the link checker before - a very useful tool. Thank you for the comments. Skeet Shooter (talk) 16:51, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The link checker is my friend at FAC. Those rationales work for me... all done! Ealdgyth - Talk 16:55, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
