The article has only 845 prose characters; is it going to expanded more? Chris857 (talk) 02:19, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
- OK then,
- at 1670 characters prose
- recently, newly written
- Cited inline to reputable sources
- Image is PD NASA/ESA
- Hook is brief, and verified, and interesting to me
- QPQ satisfied
- Issues and suggestions (may not all be critical to passing):
- The EL points at a NASA shutdown notice; do you know the intended URL (since the shutdown is over)?
- I'd a like a source on the detection sentence, and preferably that section merged into the other paragraphs, or better sectioning employed
- A pass over ref formatting would be appreciated (I took a stab already), but for example, is that how SIMBAD is usually cited?

- This source (already in article) mentions that it was observed using Hubble. Also, do you want to mention that the report about water appeared in Science? Anyway, I see no blockers to this passing (and these two are just suggestions). Chris857 (talk) 22:28, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
Alright, all my concerns are addressed. Chris857 (talk) 14:57, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
