January 2019 B-Class Review
Good start for this article. The citations need to be improved, as several sentences and ends of paragraphs are without any in-line citations. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 12:05, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your attention, Captain! Question: Everything is properly cited right now -- where paragraphs don't have cites immediately after, it's because the citation covers both those paragraphs and subsequent material.  This is the standard practice in a fixed volume like a book or article.  Because of the changeable nature of Wikipedia, are we supposed to cite after every paragraph?  Every sentence?  Thanks again!  --Neopeius (talk) 15:15, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
 * My standard practice is to have the information cited no later than the end of the paragraph. If information from a single source is only used in one sentence, cite at the end of the sentence.  But sometimes information from a  source applies throughout the paragraph, so just cite it at the end of said paragraph.  My rule-of-thumb is to not cite a source more than once a paragraph. Hope that helps! Balon Greyjoy (talk) 00:16, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * It helps a great deal! I will fix it tomorrow or the next day and resubmit for "B".  Thanks so much. :)  --Neopeius (talk) 01:43, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Update: I have taken another look at the article, and I would rate it B-class. That being said, it is light on overall information, which is understandable, as the amount of material you can find about a satellite from 1960 is likely limited. Regarding your hopes to improve it further, I wish you the best of luck. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 07:23, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much! I'd love to find more information on its development and data reduction.  Onward and upward. :)  --Neopeius (talk) 15:39, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
