Will review this article pretty soon.

GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    I have failed the article in this category as the dating in the references differ, there are two styles used.. Also, check that there is a   between units and measurements as I see a few units and measurements without one. Also the values in the article must be converted eg. metric to imperial or vice versa. If possible use the convert template, {{convert|8|km|mi}}. You can also ad abbr=on to abbreviate the units, note that units should be spelled out the first time they are used. Also I fixed some prose issues. Issues fixed, pass.
    Unit conversions -  Done
    Fix ref retrieval dates -  Done
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    The citations are reliable and each cite provided at the end of the paragraph supports everything withing that paragraph.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    Covers everything that can be covered about a lunar valley and is focused on the valley and important people who were once there (Apollo 17).
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    Congrats, passed.

File:Apollo 17 Moon Panorama.jpg to appear as POTD soon

[edit]

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Apollo 17 Moon Panorama.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on January 16, 2017. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2017-01-16. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 07:10, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Taurus–Littrow
A panoramic view of Taurus–Littrow taken in December 1972, during the Apollo 17 lunar mission. This lunar valley is located on the near side of the Moon, along a ring of mountains on the southeastern edge of Mare Serenitatis. Toward the right, geologist-astronaut Harrison Schmitt prepares to take a sample. Data collected on Apollo 17 show that the valley is composed primarily of feldspar-rich breccia in the large massifs surrounding the valley and basalt underlying the valley floor, covered by an unconsolidated layer of regolith, or mixed materials, formed by various geologic events.Photograph: Eugene Cernan

Stub crater articles?

[edit]

I noticed that each of the relatively insignificant craters in this region is the subject of its own article. However, these are probably never going to grow beyond a stub. Wouldn't it make more sense to merge them into a table within this article? Praemonitus (talk) 15:18, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
