How is this article already at GA status, when it was just created today and didn't undergo a nomination and review? Balon Greyjoy (talk) 14:13, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. This was a mistake in copy-pasting the templates from another talk page. Thanks for catching it. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:19, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking care of it. I gave it a B-class review, and approved it. While it's a little on the short side (in my personal opinion, it doesn't deserve its own article and should instead be a section under Apollo 17), it checks all of the boxes for B-class, and I'm assuming the information on this page is probably approaching all of the information publicly available about these 5 mice.

@Randy Kryn: You claim that the images of the human astronauts are relevant merely because the mice traveled with them? How does knowing how the humans of the mission looked aid our understanding of the mice (i.e. how are these images not merely decorative? Were they inside Ronald Evans' space suit?) Note, I did not remove the two images which showed the command module they traveled in. Also, you say "mission relationship" as if the sole purpose of the Apollo mission was to get these mice into space. I don't think these images add to the article, especially when you look at their captions. The second image I removed even has as its claim for relevance: "[the] mission insignia features the names of the three human crew members"—so this image had zero bearing to the mice, and at most listed the names of the astronauts, which is very far removed from being important to this article. Finally, on the argument of page size alone, these images are excessive and on my screen there's a huge gap after the "References" section. Opencooper (talk) 17:46, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and a good day after yesterday's safe landing of the SpaceX astronauts. On Apollo 17, everyone traveled with everyone. There were eight Earthlings on that flight. Six of them, the five mice and Ron Evans, "hold the record for the longest amount of time spent in lunar orbit (147 hours 43 minutes) and the most lunar orbits traveled (75)". This page wouldn't be complete without an image of Evans, who traveled with the mice (and no, not in his pockets) on this record breaking accomplishment. The other one, the missions insignia, covers all of Apollo 17. Including the mice. As for page size, did you try to move the images around or down-page? On my screen the article looks fine, comparable to other Wikipedia pages. Randy Kryn (talk) 22:42, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

p.s. just removed the astronauts from the caption, per your pointing it out and the Captain Obvious redundancy, and left just the simple descriptor of the mission insignia. Randy Kryn (talk) 22:58, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Someone will eventually put up a statue, an animated film, or create a comic book further memorializing the five mice (five of the last eight Earthlings to visit the Moon), and then this page can contain an "In popular culture" section. Randy Kryn (talk) 20:14, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
