GA Review

Hi, I will be reviewing this article for GA. However, I needed to carefully read through it before I add comments, which I will be doing below. —Mattisse (Talk) 22:03, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

• "The exploration of Jupiter has consisted of a few automated spacecraft missions made by NASA that have visited the planet since 1973." - "has consisted of" I don't like that but can't off hand think of something better. "Jupiter has been explored by" - I suppose you don't want to use that because of the article title.
• "a few" - is this vague for a reason? You do not know the specific number?
• "A large majority of the missions" - would "Most of the missions..." be better, as you have already said there are only a "few".
• "Other missions planned at visiting the Jovian system are currently in their development phase." - perhaps - Plans for more missions to visit the Jovian system are being developed.
• In fact, I see many prose issues through out the article. Do you want me to name them all here, or to try to fix some of them myself? —Mattisse (Talk) 23:14, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Please go ahead and be bold. Nergaal (talk) 23:33, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

• I have no idea what this means: "Reaching Jupiter from Earth orbit requires an additional delta-V of 9.2 km/s,[1] which is comparable to the 9.7 km/s delta-V needed to reach low Earth orbit." It comes after a sentence that I sort of get because it is about velocity.

  How about now? Nergaal (talk) 02:56, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

• Why are there "the immense pressures within Jupiter", more so than other planets. What are these "immense pressures" due to?

  Makes more sense now? Basically Jupiter is covered completely by "oceans". Nergaal (talk) 03:01, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

• Do you agree with the changes I made to the article? (I tried not to change the meaning but I may have.) —Mattisse (Talk) 21:39, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Yea, except for "[T]he belts must be... part. What is [T] supposed to mean? Nergaal (talk) 22:17, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

As I've said it looks ok, except probably for the typo I listed here "[T]he"

That is to make the first letter a capital so that it is a sentence. I will change it back as it is not a big deal! —Mattisse (Talk) 16:53, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
