List of spacewalks and moonwalks edit
Notified: WP SPACE and WP Human spaceflight
In going through the various space lists, after List of ISS spacewalks was removed as a featured list because of lack of references and other issues, and List of space shuttle missions is also up for removal, because of lack of references, it seems to me that this list has even less references than either of the other two had, and the most important events (such as the world's first EVA) have no references whatsoever. In fact, the first 270 EVAs have no references given at all. Additionally, it has no navigational sections, and with 297 columns, that's against WP:FL?. The lead is not comprehensive, nor is it current. The lead was last updated in 2007. The comments column has poor punctuation, and very little information given, some items are only 3-4 words. If the WP:FL standards are going to be consistent, then this list should also be removed as a featured list until references and other issues can be fixed.

- Not true - the first 154 entries are all sourced to Reference #3 but repeating that inline 154 times was judged a tad excessive. Rmhermen (talk) 21:42, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually nowhere does it say reference 3 is the reference for any of the EVAs. Reference 3 is given to support the statement that only 10 women have participated in EVA activities. One could peruse the references, and guess that the chronology may cover at least part of the listed spacewalks, but it is not indicated in the list. Ariel♥Gold 22:44, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It's possible to note the source in, say, the prose before the table. You don't need to repeat it 154 times. But you DO need to point out which source is being used. Also, I don't see any point to the blue lines separating years. Finally, this looks like a table that could be made sortable. This does indeed need work. --Golbez (talk) 00:44, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree. I haven't had much to do with this list, other than adding the EVAs from the last year or two. Unfortunately, the majority of the list really isn't done very well, with no punctuation, no explanation of what was done on the EVAs, no linking or spelling out of acronyms, and 3-4 words for an EVA, all combined seems like this isn't what Featured Lists should be. And for the EVAs not covered in the chronology, there are no references given at all. It would take a significant amount of work to get it up to the current standards, I think, and I'm still working on the other lists above, to get them back to FL status, hee hee.
