Notes for GA reviewer edit
I'd like to state my preference for any potential GA reviewer for this article to use {{xt}}, {{!xt}}, or any colour or formatting templates extensively when jotting down their points in the review. (see Talk:Planetary Missions Program Office/GA1 for reference) This way, my replies to those points, and replies to my replies, can be clearly distinguished between the main point and other main points of the review. I would also like to request that each point be numbered from start to finish in order, with the numbering scheme continuing contiguously through all the sections of the review. This way, I can cite in my edit summaries, in the revision history of the article, which edits pertain to which points of the review. Thanks for your understanding! :) – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 07:42, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

The article is short, but meets GA standard. I made some minor changes [1]; revert if you disagree. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 00:55, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Hawkeye7: I'm amazed that the article has practically immediately passed the GA review! I was expecting a roasting of corrections by the reviewer as in GA Reviews past, but this gives me a lot more confidence in writing articles in the future! Thanks for the review, Hawkeye! I have no objections to your corrections, and am pleased that you felt that the article was worthy of a GA promotion out the gate! :) – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 04:10, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
