Talk:SpaceX successfully launches its first crewed spaceflight

Note

Major news and wanted to get out ahead of this one. Please contribute because free time is near nonexistent in the next 48 hours. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by AZOperator (talk • contribs) 17:37, 27 May 2020‎ (UTC)

I'm concerned that this article contains a bunch of background information and no sources. Sources should always be added before the information from them is written into the article. --Pi zero (talk) 18:02, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

@Pi zero: Good to hear from you once again, and like always good advice. This was written as a very first draft so there is a lot of work to be done, problem is I may not have the time for it. I’m hoping for someone else will take it to the finish line. AZOperator (talk) 18:12, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Not sure who's about atm. Tyrol5 has done some space coverage for us. --Pi zero (talk) 18:35, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping, Pi zero. I do lurk. As the launch has been delayed until Saturday (at the earliest), I'll set aside some time to jump in and push this across the finish then as-needed. Should definitely try to get this one out once the time comes. Tyrol5 (talk) 23:50, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

@Tyrol5: Thank you for taking this story to the finish line. I have no doubt that if all the facts check out, which they appear to, will be published. The writing was excellent, please keep it up. AZOperator (talk) 22:46, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

@AZOperator: Happy to do it — and thank you for laying the groundwork; though we have Pi zero to thank, as per usual, for polishing my rather middlingly-maintained journalistic writing with his incisive-as-usual review. Thanks, both. Estimable team effort. Nine years was a long wait to see this particular story published. Tyrol5 (talk) 12:38, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Review of revision 4566950 [Passed]

Revision 4566950 of this article has been reviewed by Pi zero (talk · contribs) and has passed its review at 02:38, 31 May 2020 (UTC). Copyright: Passed Newsworthiness: Passed Verifiability: Passed NPOV: Passed Style: Passed Comments by reviewer: Thanks for this. There were a number of passages too close to source, and some neutrality concerns. Avoid closely imitating a source passage with occasional words tweaked (e.g. with synonyms or near-synonyms); at the least, it's best to fundamentally rearrange the grammatical structure, and avoid imitating distinctive word choices. I addressed more of this than I could afford to on a regular basis. Avoid phrasing that claims to report on someone's internal state of mind. Other miscellaneous things that came up are visible in the edit history (of course). The reviewed revision should automatically have been edited by removing {{Review}} and adding {{Publish}} at the bottom, and the edit sighted; if this did not happen, it may be done manually by a reviewer.
