. The risk/threat section covers the problem in a non-political, non-alarmist tone. Mdob (talk) 20:04, 5 March 2018 (UTC) . :22 small, non-intrusive images Mdob (talk) 20:04, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

 * good illustrations, except for two in the top-righ-panel:
 * File:Eros_rotation_Dec._3-4_2000.gif (makes my eyes hurt)
 * the graph about Apollo asteroids (too big)


 * I'll try to address the points you criticised later today. I must ask however: which graph do you mean in your last point ("graph about Apollo asteroids")? Perhaps the pie chart in the infobox? Rontombontom (talk) 15:52, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
 * OK I'm done now. In the intro, I shortened paragraphs 4-6 (even merging 4 and 5), but I don't see how to shorten paragraph 3. In the infobox, I removed the rotating Eros one and moved the Itokawa photo from the "Exploratory missions" section in its place. I reduced the width of the entire infobox; the pie chart is now the smallest possible without a line wrap in the legend below it. In addition, in the "Projects to minimize the threat" section, I noticed that the details on the early history of the Spaceguard survey have been imprecise, so I re-worded and expanded it a bit, adding two new sources.
 * Does this address all your concerns? Rontombontom (talk) 20:03, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes Sir. Very good work. And You did it in less than 24 hours. Congratulations! Mdob (talk) 20:16, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Thanks! I made a DYK nomination, it was my first, I hope I did it right... Rontombontom (talk) 22:36, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
